Jenjin Report post Posted December 27, 2023 Alfred Holst Tourrier - In the Studio Oil paint, turpentine, dusty wood planks, and pipe smoke streaming through pale amber sunbeams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jiggahava Report post Posted January 24 First things first, there's that turpentine smell! Little reminiscent of motor oil, but brighter and fresher smelling. Next stage about an hour or so in, still turpentine/oil paint but more of the dry wood and amber are showing up. This is more subdued than I was expecting. I like it, but I'm not blown over. I would love to see what painters/artists think of this one. The last stages have a nuttiness to it, which I'm attributing to the dry woods. Which is fine, but I wanted more of a sustained turpentine blast. I think this will benefit from aging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biocarbons Report post Posted February 19 I took painting classes in college, so I was curious about how accurate this smell would be to a painting studio. Wet: there is a whiskey like note that approximates turpentine. mint or menthol, a touch of warm amber, sweet pipe smoke and woods. I'm also picking up a touch of something that reads as moss. I don't really get any oil paint. It reminds me a bit of the opening of DS Durga bowmakers, but smoother. Overall, this is an unusual amber perfume. I don't really have anything else like it in my oils collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
