    I’m not overly familiar with these but like the sound of the Cabotine so will try. I recently bought a little vintage bottle of Tocade by Rochas and adore its sweetness and simplicity. There’s something quite complete yet understated about some 90s perfumes. They evoke vagueness; being absorbed in poetry or the tune of a particular song.

      Oh lord Tocade is DIVINE: so underrated, so subtle yet plush. Much better than any of these, and it kind of goes with your Hypnotic Poison love.

      You in Cabotine would be an odd kind of drag.

    Hello,
    Thank you for an evolving piece of art. This blog is intelligent, eloquent and poetic! Unfortunately I’m not good at commenting. I wish to ask if you if you have any experiences with Francis Kurkdjian? I’m very interested in his Oud extracts, especially the Oud Cashmere. Have you tried Nasomatto? I’m attracted towards animalistic scents, smoky or a bit narcotic. Do you enjoy the Byredo scents? I apologize for a handful of questions.

    Sincerely,

    M

      I love the questions; I love all interaction on here!

      Sadly I don’t think I am your man in terms of perfume tastes. Although I haven’t explored all those perfume brands you mention in full, on the whole I don’t like those thick, acrid woody scents ( read my review of Byredo’s Black Saffron ). If I had to wear Nasomatto’s Black Afgano for example I would be forced to kill myself.
