Another good website for the true fragrance aficianados is: ozMoz.com

Glad you liked the osMoz site krim. I like the fact that they tell you the classifaication of each fragrance in the Encyclo, then Brands & Fragrances section. Another bottle of??????

*wonders why there isn't a Durian base note*

Maybe they are waiting for you to create it. :sweat: What are you getting another bottle of?

not sure yet, i haven't found one that suits me other than the ones I already have, but i usually get a new bottle every couple of years.

Speaking of frangrances and perfumes, ever notice that some people slather it on to the point where it's like a toxic cloud surrounding them?

You walk by these people and immediately start to gag from lack of oxygen... Really annoying. :bleh:

Ooh I see. Well good luck in your search & discovery of your next scent. What category or classification of fragrances do you like the best?

I enjoy testing fragrances on those little strips of paper in stores, but boy oh boy do some of them smell entirely different on my skin. I have also tested them on my wrists in the stores, bought the scent and then discovered that I don't like the fragrance on me for long periods of time. My friend has gotten many a bottle of perfume due to my body chemistry changes. :bonk:

Yeah I know exactly what you mean bmw. I love fragrances, but I don't know why some people douse themselves in it. I went to a Broadway show this past Spring and someone near me was wearing a nice scent, but it almost made me gag because it was being worn way too heavily for the occasion. :grumble: I couldn't figure out who was wearing it or otherwise I would have said something to them.

What i do with the strips is, rub it first on my skin, then spray it, that way i'll get a good idea of what it'll smell like on me without actually spraying it on me.

i usually only do a half pump and indirectly towards my face and i'll step into it (i've been told, as a girl does)... that way im never overpowering and i've got just enough to make me interesting.

I suppose you could figure out who's the culprit by the trail of dead insects and/or wilted plants that were in the person's wake...

Like in the opening scene of Princess Mononoke. ;)

Well look up the categories of the ones that you have liked in the past on the osMoz site and then you will be able to narrow down your next choice. Most people stay in the same category for their fragrance preferences.
Me I like the "Oriental', "Oriental-Floral" "Woody" or "Chypre" categories.

I probably mentioned it pages ago, but I only use one: Christian Dior Eau Sauvage.

Eternity - Aromatic Fresh
Cool water - Aromatic Fresh
Obsession - Oriental Woody
CK One - Citrus Aromatic
Nautica Classic - no listing.

You are a man of eclectic tastes and unpredictable, huh?
I looked up Nautica Classic on basenotes.net. The same people who like that scent would also like Cool Water ( that is you!), Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme, Acqua di Gio by Armani, Polo Blue by Ralph Lauen and Desire for Men by Alfred Dunhill.

Exactly. Nothing overpowering or invasive.

Wow. we have a fragrance connoiseur! Personally, I like guys who wear cool water. It's a definite classic in my book. I'm planning to purchase another 50 ml of cool water for women.. mmmmmm..
