Navigating the fine line between migraines, chemical sensitivities, and a fondness for the BPAL!
Favorite Notes: Leather, Amber, Vanilla, Smoke, Spices, Musks, Resins that aren't Dragon's Blood...
For the most part, I'm drawn to scents that are on the masculine edge of gender-neutral. However, I'm not at all keen on lavender (or most other florals), which cuts many fougère blends out of the running, and I'm very wary about vetiver, which seems to be a key note in many "masculine" fragrances. Just to make things difficult.
As such, the list I had came down to a few basic categories (I'm still happy to hear other recommendations from those more knowledgeable than I):
- "Golden" scents: both the drier and warmer sorts of amber (eg. Aureus, Ozymandias, The Lion)
- Spiced scents
- Leather notes
- Metallic scents (eg. The Steamworks selections)
- Snow/Storm/Sea scents (eg. Lightning, Jolly Roger, Onduris, Nuclear Winter)
(The foxy/kitsune scents would make up a category of their own, but sadly they all seem to be so overwhelmingly feminine.)
By now, I've worked out that my dream scent would be leather, amber, smoke and vanilla, with a touch of spice or resins. That would just sing on my skin - which is entirely appropriate for a singer!
