Question:
So Grey Hue of Doubt has you expiring -- slowly, gracefully, enjoyably, fragrantly and expensively because you have been both unlucky and lucky (you've won the lottery.)
Since money is no object in this scenario, a few have mentioned having a personal fragrance made...
If you were to have a personal, very own, bespoke fragrance made just for you, what would it be? *What would the notes be? *What magic elixirs would it contain? What dazzling juice?

Answer:
There has been a similar thread with our personal olfactory pyramide....

Here one is being invited to describe what you would like in your ultimate fragrance in all its aspects, more like the brief one would give to a nose and the marketing team.
What is its sillage: intimate and close to the skin or does it arouse everyone for yards?
Long lasting? How long?
Traditional or cutting edge? What kind of person wears it?
What would your fragrance express or evoke? What feelings, memories, atmosphere?
Is it strong and intense or mild and mysterious? Sweet or dry? Complex and rich or simpler, brighter,more transparent? Earthy or etherial? Olfactory family?
How would you bottle your ultimate fragrance? Crystal -- traditional or contemporary, minimal or grand? Clear smoked or colored? How shaped? A splash or spray? Leather encased perhaps or metal atomizer (alla Montale)?
What might you name it?
and more.......
Lastly -- the only overlap with the famale forum thread of weeks and hundreds of new members ago -- what notes or accords would you include or need to invent?

Answer:
Satan's Advocate (just for kicks):
Top: I can't decide!!
Middle: white musc, vanilla
Base: pepper, sandalwood, (sweet power note??)
It is worn on lawyers so they are presented in a sophisticated way but still smell fierce with the pepper.
It will be a mildly sweet/pepper based scent in a Red chrystal bottle in the shape of a Big Red Apple... I don't know why but that is what came to mind...
It is meant to dry down fast and last very long. The sillage will be moderate but sill strong enough that peole know when a lawyer is around...

Answer:
I really can't decide but whatever it is I want it to smell of cinnamon and pepper.

Answer:
Good question.
Top- smoked orange peel, lemon, cardamom, juniper (just a hint)
Mid- Pepper, leather, sandalwood, tea, oak
Base- Musk, tobacco, ambergris (maybe), cedar (just a little)
Sold as an EdT, worn all over the body. Bottle would be like a hip flask, but taller and narrower. Juice would be pinkish, but the smoked/grey glass would make it look dark red. Atomizer would be pewter. Cap would be pewter, bullet shaped, knurled around the ogive, but domed at the tip, not sharp. Think of a .45 bullet.
Sillage would be appropriate for office/lunch wear during cool days. Heat and sweat would bring out the base notes and the pepper.
To be worn by an engineer. The kind of man who can walk from his office to a job site to a bar after work to discuss designs with his coworkers over a glass of Maker's Mark. A man like Jim (?) Reardon, from Atlas Shrugged. The kind of man who fixes things without being asked, and builds things that don't need to be fixed by others. Broadcloth shirts, no tie, sleeves rolled up.
I would call it... Oh, I don't know... "Essayons"

-ben What a wonderful description of a real and worthy man. My kind of hero.


Answer:
Notes that envoke my brain into tricking itself to be happy... I do not know exactly what notes they are but that is way iam still testing diffrent notes and fragrances to find the combination that makes me the happiest. One day i will have my own personal fragrance.
SO far i do like Iris, vanilla, chocalate, sandalwood, ambregris, amber, and many others that i will soon find out about.

Answer:
Have no idea this would even work, but:
top: green tea, mild spices, nutmeg
mid: Iris
base: ambergris, Caradamone
I like all the notes independently, so....
