About Me

Average joe in the world of intentional personal fragrance. (I am working towards setting up to swap, though I don't have much selection as far as I can tell.)

 

Sweet woody resins win out most of the time. Spice-forward blends always draw my attention.

 

I know I enjoy in BPAL notes:

Absinthe

Cypress? My taste might have changed.

Amber

Labdanum

Patchouli

Sandalwood

Vetiver

Earth/loam/dirt, but it's fleeting on my skin

Clove

Cinnamon

Cassia

Cardamom

Honeysuckle

Chamomile

Chrysanthemum

Mullein

 

From other perfumes, I've discovered an enjoyment for:

Ambergris

Anise

Carnation

Licorice

Mimosa

 

And in previous contexts (usually culinary or botanical rather than personal fragrance) I've found I enjoy:

Ginseng

Fennel

Lemongrass

Lychee

Lime leaf

Lilac

Jasmine

Gardenia

Rice

Barley

Molasses

 

So far, violet stands as the only note who ever gave me consistent trouble. I must've eaten too many violets as a kid, and the version in perfume comes from dissimilar varieties.
