Cause it’s Interlude but with a twist 😂 I originally liked the use of Iris to replace the oregano, however, quite quickly it turned into nothing else than the original Interlude on me. In time I realized that it’s the oregano that makes Interlude special, with its spicy smoldering burning aspect. In Black Iris, Interlude is no longer burning, it’s a fizzle of designer taste amber. Nothing daring, just smoother and easier to like and to wear. A crowd-pleaser

Iris Pallida was the only standout to me...I am constantly thinking of getting a bottle at the back of my mind...and doing a lot of perfume math to justify it lol. I really like the rose too 'on paper', the way it transitions is fantastic but rose is a tough genre with so many exemplary roses out there, it did not wow me enough. I recently repurchased Samsara after a long while so it will be interesting to compare both.

I was familiar with Salome first (since its inception) and discovered Amouage Gold Man much later (in the current formulation). I think Salome and some other early niche discoveries helped me to appreciate the exquisite beauty of something like Gold Man. One good thing leads to another in my case. I was quite intrigued by your other perfume references. I've been meaning to repurchase Mitsouko at some point, and will keep an eye out for a Habanita decant.

This is so beautiful and unbelievably underrated and affordable. I agree that it doesn’t smell like anything else. But also agree it reminds of Shalimar. I’ve always found Jaipur to be an eastern version of Habit Rouge EDP. Also in the same realm of L’Instant de Guerlain. It’s like if Annick Menardo was tasked with making a 90s Guerlain. EDT is less spicy and way less clovey than EDP, btw. It’s like if you removed a lot of spice from EDP and slightly increased the verbena and vanilla. I’d say EDT is closer to Roma Uomo than the EDP. But they’re 85% similar and both excellent!
@MemoryFloАй бұрын
Wow, thank you! That was a very interesting read! I agree! As it happens, i’m currently wearing (well, what’s left of last night’s) Habit Rouge Parfum. The drydown is mainly vanilla and it is smoky and very spicy (cloves). The smell of cloves is present in vanilla so I wonder if it’s simply vanilla that we’re smelling in Jaïpur edp. And it does make sense that in the more diluted version, the edt, the eugenol (cloves) note would be more faint meanwhile the familiar vanilla note would be more present. It seems like a paradox but it’s not. The lighter the concentration, the more familiar the vanilla. The heavier it gets, the woodier, darker, more leathery and yes, spicier it smells. Fascinating! The only thing Annick Menardo worked for Guerlain, Bois d’Armenie is now discontinued. I wish we had her at Guerlain.
@OmarZ7729 күн бұрын
@@MemoryFlo That’s a great analysis on the vanilla being more clovey in the EDP because it is more intense-makes sense! Also totally forgot about Bois d’Armenie!

What a great review of two of my favorites. I just discovered Gold Man and I wore Equipage for years as my signature in the 80's. Guy Robert also created another first men's scent for another great house, the original 1976 Gucci Pour Homme. I wore it as my signature for years until it was discontinued. I still have good back stock, bought when the prices were more reasonable. It's amazing. My brother's girlfriend was from France and when she came to visit me she gifted me a bottle of Equipage they picked up for me in Paris. Again, I wore it for years and have a good supply of vintage back stock as well. As for Gold Man, it does somewhat remind me of a masculine version of Chanel No.5. However, although the notes are different, it gives me a similar experience to wearing vintage Guerlain Habit Rouge EDT. They both share the civet note that takes it into that skanky yet so very elegant animalistic territory. It's definitely my favorite from Amouage and my favorite new find for 2024. Truly the Gift of Kings!

Interesting how each nose perceive notes so differently … I didn’t get the olibanum as the central core of Dans le Bleu (which is not discontinued). It reminded me very much of the opening of Womanity - algae, seawater, ambergris without the animalic funk. However, Womanity is closer to salty marshes mud while Dans le Bleu is sparkly, clean and airy. It reads perhaps too clean and therefore reminiscent of functional fragrances in shower gels. SL/ CS have done many iconoclastic fragrances that I love: Iris Silver Mist, Chergui, Sarassins, most of the Bois variations, Borneo, MKK. Dans le Bleu- while lovely- just didn’t resonate as much.
