level 1

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather

level 2

I've been wearing this, and I have gotten a ton of compliments. I am a girl- and i find it perfectly unisex.

Shalimar.

Every time I’ve worn this on a date I’ve been told it’s insanely sexy and have always gotten asked what I’m wearing.

level 2

Shalimar is the one, for sure.

level 2

Is there a particular one you like most? EDT, EDC etc?

level 3

I have the EDT and the EDP and the EDP is definitely my favorite. I had initially picked up the EDT by mistake and finished half the bottle before splurging on the EDP and not only is the bottle an absolute luxury, but the perfume is too.

It’s such a unquestionably unique smell that drove my ex crazy. He texted me the other day and told me he smelled it on an older woman and immediately thought of me because it’s a rarity it’s someone’s signature scent.

level 2

Do you mean shalimar?

level 3

Just updated it but yes! That was my bad when I was typing it

Jasmin et Cigarette Eau de Parfum by Etat Libre d'Orange.

vamp from alkemia, esp when layer with rose and encense.

hermes hermanessence ceder et sambac.

level 2

Fellow Alkemia lover here! I've just tried As Dark Things Are Meant To Be Loved and the complexity blows my mind

level 3

I love Alkemia and i feel the same way about Midnight Garden - the juicy lush deep purple notes in it knock me out. The complexity is astounding.

level 2

Jasmin et Cigarette Eau de Parfum by Etat Libre d'Orange.

I wanna try this so bad. I hope it smells less like pipe tobacco and more like an actual cigarette though.

level 3
doge of the layering republic2 points · 2 hours ago

On me, it's a rich and indolic jasmine sambac with, unfortunately, no cigarette. I failed to test it this winter but that's how it behaves in warmer weather. It's still sensual and languid and lovely, but not quite what I was hoping for, either.

level 1

From what I have sampled/experienced so far, Zoologist Civet is the only thing that really hits that vibe.

Playful frollicking between bedsheets in a bottle. Sure I'd not wear Musc Tonkin to work either, but somehow it doesn't quite make me think of sex in the same way Civet does.

Civet is artwork.

IMO, the titular Jazz Club by Maison Margiela. It hits all the notes and is definitely evocative of its name.

It reminds me of one night stands that taste like booze after playful arm touches and eye sex in a hazy cocktail bar.

I’m a girl, but this is my go-to going out perfume! Your description is perfect

level 2

That’s quite the description. Now I have to get this.

level 1

baccarat rouge easily.

level 1

For men Bleu De Chanel

I had a job where I would see about 50 people per day in the proximity of the drivers seat and passenger seat in a car, and not exaggerating at all 4 out of 5 female customers that got in would compliment my scent.

I have a bunch of other Chanel and Dior fragrances but none of them come even close to the amount of compliments the Bleu de Chanel gets

level 2

Everyone knocks it for not smelling that special but I think it's one of the best things I've smelled. It's not different but different may not be what people love to smell

Absolutely can't stand that, makes me nauseous, disgusting smell to me.

just curious which BdC? EDT? EDP? or Parfum

level 3

Eau de Parfum. Really want to try the Parfum though, probably going to go for it when this EDP runs out.

I also have the Eau de Toilette, it’s nice but the EDP is much much better, it’s not only stronger but the scent is also nicer as well.

level 4
2 points · 6 hours ago

Does the EDP have as much grapefruit and incense? I love the incense in the EDT.

level 5

I think it has less incense and more citrusy that the EDT. The EDP is a bit sweeter overall.

level 1

And of course: Sex Panther.

It's made by Odeon, illegal in nine countries, and made with bits of real panther.

Let me be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.

Gosh yes. It’s my husbands wedding scent and I wore it the other day and couldn’t stop sniffing myself 🤤

I've heard so many good reviews about this but can't afford it rn. Anything that smells similar?

level 3

I'd just get a sample to experience it once. I'm wearing it right now and I can't stop trying to smell it. It makes me feel like I'm that bitch as a fairly normal dude

saint julep

level 3

dua casino royale (baccarat rouge 540) dua casino royale nights (baccarat rouge 540 extrait). the extrait is better imo but both are 10/10

the dua clones are almost 100% similar according to reviews

Go to your local all saints and try Sunset Riot. It is 95% baccarat rouge just a little more orangey in the opening.

level 3

Ariana Grande Cloud legitimately has a nearly identical opening (I couldn't believe it myself). The drydowns are different, though, and Cloud's is super feminine and gourmand.

level 3

u/holykatana is right. Ariana Grande's Cloud is actually very similar – and is far more affordable!

Grand soir, always gets nice reactions from both genders.

level 1

I absolutely adore Encens Mythique d'Orient. My girlfriend thinks it's weird that I think it's sexy, but it is! Ambergris is a very sexy note, especially when it's likely the real deal with EMdO.

Also Shalimar, of course. Is it kind of dated? Yeah, but it's still a beautiful composition that oozes pure sex.

I like BR540 a lot, but don't see it as particularly sexy. It's too abstract and artificial to evoke sexiness for me.

level 1

Cliche but La Nuit De L’Homme has always gotten me compliments and it’s the one scent I’ve been asked to wear on dates.

level 1

Dior Sauvage EDT

You can't go wrong with it!

level 2
3 points · 6 hours ago

You can

level 3

I agree with you, if you hate compliments you shouldn't use Sauvage :)

level 2
2 points · 6 hours ago

You can

level 2

Sorry, but I hate it. Ambroxan is one of those things that smells different to different people: either “clean and fresh” or “nostril-stinging astringent”.

I get the sting.

level 2

I get a nauseated by it. The opening is amazing and citrusy, if it stayed like that I'd wear it all the time, but it drys down to playdoh mixed with shaving cream and somehow makes me feel ill.

Also have smelled it on others after they've had it on a few hours and its dull, headache inducing and a bit like body oder.

I must have an abnormal sense of smell because most people love it. Makes me wonder if some of my favourites are making random strangers sick as I pass by.

level 1

Black Aoud by Montale, Knize Ten for men Rush by Gucci, Poison by Dior for women

level 2

Seems I have to sniff some Rush and Poison some time

level 3

They’re heavy hitters but I love em. I have a bunch of the vintage poison which is less sweet and muskier than the current one but give em a go. Sephora and/or Macy’s for sure.

level 1

While unfortunately named, Good Girl by Carolina Herrera is the single sexiest thing I’ve ever smelled.

level 1

Chanel Coromandel

Versace Pour Homme. My SO wears it and when I first smelled it on him I absolutely lost my mind. And I still do. (Needless to say, he wears it every time he sees me lol.)

level 2

It's my wife's favorite on me too, hands down. It was my signature before I started my journey of exploration, and I've not.found anything she likes nearly as much... However, Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche is her second favorite and in the ame vein, but a little different.

level 2

Just bought this a couple days ago so this is encouraging to hear. Can't wait till it starts getting warmer to use it more

level 1

Spicebomb I spray it on my chest and then ask if she wants to snuggle. Then it is on!

level 2

Spicebomb extreme is mine as well.

level 2

I like it also but none of the guys I have dated like it or want to wear it. I adore flowerbomb so I may be biased.

level 1

IMO For men: Blue de Chanel For women: sexiest outside the bedroom scents: Valentina by Valentino or Narciso Rodriguez Sexiest for the bedroom scent: D&G L'imperatrice

level 2

You have very good taste.

Probably not the most popular choice, but Angel has always had this magic something about it to my nose. I love to smell it on a woman. Angel Muse is a lot more accessible and equally nice alternative. GF thinks OG Angel is a bit much, but she loves Muse, so I'm satisfied.

level 1

For women: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

Viva la Juicy always revved my engine when I smelled it on a woman. It's been about 10 years since I was with someone who wore it, and I'm not sure I would feel the same way today that I did back then.

Lancome la vie est belle. I may be biased because it’s my girlfriend’s signature scent but holy shit it just does something to me.

level 2

I can certainly agree with this. It's becoming extremely popular.....it smells SO GOOD.

Xerjoff Ivory Route. So darnn sexyy

level 1

Daytime frag: Mon Geurlain Florale

Night: Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Essence de Parfum. This smells hedonistic. Never fails to draw compliments from men.

level 1

Marc Jacobs Decadence, Lancôme Tresor La Nuit and Carolina Herrera Good Girl are intoxicating

level 1

Bought my wife a bottle of Hermes Eau Des Mervilles Bleue. It's a simple sexy aquatic that just has that it factor that hits me where it counts.

level 1

Chanel antaeus !!

On women I love Aventus for her and Moscow Mule by Juliette has a gun.

On myself (male) I got the best reactions to Paco Rabanne Black XS. I swear to god, even guys wanted to hit on me. Beastly fragrance.

I’ve been told I smelt nice but Valentino Uomo Intense was called sexy multiple times.

MAC's Velvet Teddy for sure

level 1

A touch of Opium on a hot day I think smells sexy, though I can anticipate some reactions (I remember wearing this to a friend's house once a few years ago and her roommate saying, "you smell like my mom!"). For men, Lagerfeld's original or Cartier Pasha. What can I say? I'm an old soul.

level 1

Creed Acqua Fiorentina. Light blue smells 85% similar but something in this one makes my knees weak

For me, Juliette Has a Gun: Citizen Queen.

level 1

Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir

level 1

I can't remember exactly which one it was, but a girlfriend back a few years ago wore Angel(I think original) from Victoria's Secret, and it was super sexy. It wasn't super overpowering, it smelled like perfume instead of just body spray or whatever, and I guess to my 20 something brain the fact that it was Victoria's Secret added to the sexiness. I have 't smelled it in a few years, but Im sure that I would recognize it if I smelled it again.

Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade of course
