Manhattan Meetup 2025 -- Sep 20th 5:06 AM (35 minutes ago)

Dear Basenoters,

It's that time again—the 2025 Manhattan Meetup is officially happening! 🎉💐

For the uninitiated: this is not just a meetup. It's a scented odyssey. A gathering of the fragrance-obsessed. A day where your credit card trembles and your nose does cardio.
We've kept this tradition alive (minus that brief COVID-era dark age), and last year's return was glorious. If you were there, you remember the trail of sillage we left from Scent Bar to Saks. If...

Sultan Pasha's Fragrances 5:02 AM (39 minutes ago)

Recently, I purchased a couple of Sultan Pasha's (SP) fragrances. He is a member of basenotes and many of you probably recognize the username sultanpasha. He also sells on ebay as "scents-rarity": http://www.ebay.com/usr/scents-rarity

He was nice enough to send me a large assortment of samples plus a free 3mL bottle with my order! I have tried a bunch of them so far and have been very impressed. They are in oil form, undiluted, so a drop or two is all you need. His fragrances are...

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Samples Thread 4:58 AM (44 minutes ago)

Hey all,

***EDIT - Some of these are not currently available because they are "seasonal" or will only appear on a rare short term spot sale.

I thought I would make a thread on opinions of samples people have tried from this artisan.

Here is today's delivery:



Holliday - Kind of a dull lemony scent. I will revisit it but didn't seem like it is my thing. This is one of my least ranked of all I've smelled from PAA.
Scent Notes: Lime, Patchouli...

Imagine a scenario please, for Guerlain Heritage . 4:53 AM (49 minutes ago)

I've ordered my bottle of Guerlain Heritage EDT and it will wend its way here by sea from Miami to Nicaragua, thanks to the godsend called 'freight-forwarding'.
But it will take three weeks. In the meantime, I want to know what I have to look forward to, and because the 'Directory' posts on this (or any) fragrance can sometimes confuse as much as inspire, and because smell is all so personal and subjective, I thought it would be more useful to ask it like this: Could you think of a...

exciting/new indie houses 4:45 AM (56 minutes ago)

a few years back when i was diving into the indie niche sphere it felt like there was a lot of people growing, coming onto the scene and doing new and creative stuff:

elixir attar was gaining traction, ensar oud was still releasing interesting stuff, pineward was new, slumberhouse still had decent releases, even january event project had more available, as did sultan pasha, teone still shipped to the US etc

so curious if im missing out on any new houses or people making creative small...

Casualties of War 4:41 AM (last hour)

It finally happened - a stray bottle got knocked off my bathroom shelf and exploded everywhere. My first casualty of war: a full bottle of Pino Silvestre. This being the cute green pinecone bottle, which naturally shattered in a billion fragrant pieces. Fortunately one of my cheapest bottles. But now the bathroom smells like an old Italian man's undershirt. Typing away in my office several rooms away, I realize I can smell it from here. I sopped up all the juice, scrubbed the floor and wall...

If You Lost Your Sense of Smell From Covid... 4:31 AM (last hour)

If you lost your sense of smell from having Covid (nine has diminished as of yesterday), would you still wear fragrance?

I would not, since I wear it purely for my own enjoyment.

Vetiverol vs Vetiver Oil - How to substitute 4:30 AM (last hour)

Hello.... another odd question. Working on a more feminine floral that calls for Vetiverol. I mis re-read and ordered Vetiver Oil. Is there a way to substitute oil. Calls for 5% Vetiverol.

My initial research says that vetiver oil may be muddy and earthy as compared to Vetiverol. I want to keep the fragrance clean and uplifting as its an gardinia based floral.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Which 5 perfumes do you consider to be the worst ever made? 4:27 AM (last hour)

Those would have to be perfumes you have bought blind because of someone's suggestion or tested yourself and found awful.

A 2008 Mitsouko EDT — is it worth it? 3:57 AM (last hour)

Hello, everyone!

My first topic here on this wonderful forum was about Guerlain, and my second one will be as well.

I've already read quite a few pages here and on Fragrantica about some of the house's perfumes (Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, Shalimar, etc.). However, I didn't usually save or highlight the information I came across — which has now resulted in me forgetting a few details that would be quite useful at the moment.

Right now, I've got my eye on a Mitsouko EDT with the batch code...

Would anyone have a good sub for ALPHA IRONE? 3:22 AM (2 hours ago)

Any thoughts on a replacer or multiple subs for it?

Mainly because I want to try to create the Iris Abs Synth base but it shows 60% alpha irone, and the idea is to cheapen it lol

Compliments for the ladies 3:17 AM (2 hours ago)

So the gents/masculine fragrance aficionados have their own thread about compliment getters.

I am curious to hear from the wearers of the fragrances from the ladies' side of the aisle. As a lady or wearer of ladies' fragrance…what garners compliments?

Shave of the Day 1:36 AM (4 hours ago)

Not sure if this has been done already, but I didn't find previous thread when I searched. I figured there might be a few of you out there who would want to share your shave. While I don't shave daily, I do really enjoy the process and treat it as a moment of reflection and pampering for myself. It's amazing just how great your face can feel when you use quality products. Well, let's see if this gets any traction.
