Question:
OK, I love Terre D'Hermes - I remember calling it the best fragrance of 2006 in a post last year...
But last night, when I got home from work, after wearing Terre D'hermes all day, my partner mentioned that I smelled like pot (I haven't smoked for years...) and when I made him smell my body, he confirmed that it was my scent...
Anybody else have this skin chemistry thing going on in the drydown of TdH?
Am I the only freak?
p.s. - Comme de Garcons Guerilla 2 DOES SMELL LIKE POT - at the beginning, the middle & the end...you've been warned.

Answer:
Dried marijuana buds & leaves - to be more specific

Answer:
Aha! That explains it! My dad must have been wearing this stuff for years!

Answer:
The marijuana connection hadn't occured to me, but now that you mention it I can detect a slight resemblance.
On me the drydown smells just like the basenotes in the pyramid, mainly cedar with a bit of vetiver, with just a hint of faintly sweet benzoin. But there is a slightly sharp, resinous smell there also, which may or may not be part of the cedar component.
I wonder if it is against the law to use cannabis oil in perfumes. That rich, pungent aroma certainly would be an interesting component in men's fragrances ;-)

noggs I wonder, is cannabis oil just hemp oil? Hemp oil is not uncommon, and it's in plenty of cosmetic products.
As for fragrances, I can think of two featuring a cannabis note (not sure if they use cannabis oil or not): Absolument Absinthe and Cannabis Santal. Never smelled either one. Living in Santa Cruz, California, I smell plenty of the real thing, although I'm not a partaker myself...

Addendum: searching for "hemp" as a note in the basenotes directory brings up FCUK Him (French Connection) and L'Eau Argentine (Iunx). Does anyone think these have a "pot" smell?
