Re: Cherry Scents

Geo F. Trumpers Sandalwood has a warm, cherry like thing going on. Generally the best bet I would say is to look for fragrances with some tobacco notes like Burberry London for men or Tom Fords...

Re: - S o t D - Tuesday, 10.06.09

Burberry London (new, plaid bottle version)

Perfect, soothing cinnamon-amber for dark fall day.
I really think Antoine Maisondieu is one of the

Re: Davidoff Adventure - tested again. So HOT I burned myself!

I really like Adventure and I agree it is somewhat similar to D&G's The One. But

Re: Similar Fragrances
