What’s a warm/spicy/gourmand fragrance that blows your mind?

HookDrew — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 05:08:05 GMT

I’ve been on the hunt for the ultimate cozy/comforting fragrance. i love Tobacco and tonka bean and i was gifted Daniel Josie’s “Ambre Tabac Edp”, it’s very luxurious smelling and a smooth cinnamon heavy fragrance. it’s amazing and i want to have something similar, but more on the yummy side ifykwim.

I purchased Parfums de Marly Herod recently and it’ll arrive soon, heard good things about it being amazing and hope to make it a main fragrance of mine. this was my first step into investing in a more high end warm fragrance but not necessarily gourmand…

@HookDrew

Classic tobaccos with vanilla

Phaedon's Tabac Rouge
Serge Lutens' Chergui

In niche, you might want to try Slumberhouse's Kiste or Jeke. They're both very rich and excellent niche fragrances, the only trouble is sourcing bottles as they're not always easily available.

If you're open to straight up spicy gourmands, no tobacco, these are some easy wears

Libertine makes a couple affordable and lovely wears: Gilded and Troubled Spirits
Jazmin Sarai's Otis & Me is perfect for cardamom lovers. Other cardamom coffees that come to mind are Pekji's Ruh and #
Kerosene can run a bit too sweet and rough for my taste but it's an interesting house
Tauer's L'Air du Desert Marocain is more focus on the spice and isn't sweet but it's a benchmark niche classic
I tend to enjoy Bertrand Duchaufour's work with smoky and spicy notes. His fragrances cross many houses.

I just posted in another thread about Kerosene's gourmands. They're definitely yummy, but perhaps even too much so for some! Followed, for example, makes me smell like a tall stack of pancakes. Of the ones I've tried, I think Winter of '99 might be the least sweet; it's a little toasty and woodsy, too.

1. Angel’s Share by Killian; boozy, cinnamon, spicy: feels/smells like the holidays.
2. Italica by Xerjoff; almond-cherry cake, rich, delicious. Long lasting, pairs well other Cherry fragrances.
3. Chocolate Queen by Navitus Parfums; chocolate, dulce de leche, boozy, indulgent; great party or celebration fragrance for all gourmand lovers. It’s relatively new; love that it’s unique!

@HookDrew #Maison Mariela ’REPLICA’ Jazz Club and Mind Games Double Attack immediately came to mind. Have fun curating your perfume collection, it is quite the rabbit hole you’re falling into!
