I've sat out the last few years, so no Noir Extreme Parfum.

It's almost as gourmand as Black Orchid imo. I love Oud Woods scent profile, but it's too weak. I like Carved Oud better because it smells extremely similar but much more potent. I like Cherry Smoke more than lost cherry.
Have you tried noir extreme parfum? I like that a lot better than the original version.
I haven't smelled Bel Ami in current formulation or vintage.

I got A*men because of the book.
I also post on basenotes

It's not a bad read. I was more interested in the short and snappy reviews of the scents that didn't do so well.

I have that book!!
Don't tell Harry

Well, thank you. There was a book that was popular right when I was getting serious – Turin and Sanchez. I absorbed it in a single sitting, but I kept finding their opinions were vastly different to mine. And they weren't interested in exploring the same houses. I went my own way with it. The niche scene has really opened up over the last couple of years, though. There's just so much out there.

Your knowledge is impressive

Nope, but I've literally spent a couple of grand just on sample vials. I was ordering 2-300 bucks a pop. They can be expensive (shipping is a real killer). I haven't sampled in a good couple of years, though. I'd say I'm familiar enough with 300+ fragrances that I could recognise them on first whiff. It's a fun passion.

Did you do a perfumery course?

I have not. I've seen a few people say Tobacco Vanille smells like Un Crime Exotique. I can't imagine anything else smelling like Un Crime – the original, not 12.1. I also want to try Noir de Noir, Lavender Extreme, Lost Cherry + Fougere Platine. I'm not a fan of Grey Vetiver or Lavender Palm. I think Oud Wood might by my second to Black Orchid, so far.
Is Plum Japonais a heavy gourmand, or is there transparency like Extreme – which to me is plummy despite the fruit being fig. Have you tried Bel Ami Vintage? That's very gothic. Red coffins and cathedrals. It would be the kind of fragrance Johnny Depp would wear to vampirise a bit of its credibility.

I have PJ, got it on ebay. Love it.
Have you tried Noir de Noir or Tobacco Vanille? Those are my other faves. Black Orchid does have a funeral vibe but that's part of why I like it. I like vampires and gothy stuff and when I smelled it I thought it smelled vampirey.

I've always thought of TF as a bit funereal. t's still the best of his that I've tried. I've wanted to try Plum Japonais, but a sample is difficult to procure.
