Thanks, everyone, for your comments! It’s fascinating to read about your fave notes. I completely forgot about coffee, booze, hay, civet, wenge, hawthorne…

Adding my apologies with Elle’s to the Perfume deities for forgetting hay, civet and (how could it be forgotten) oakmoss! I guess list looked just so good that I (coffee-less as well) assumed everything must be there.

Hay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Civet!!!!!!!!!!!! Oak Moss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had to get those in before the perfume gods strike me down and never let me smell those notes again as punishment for forgetting them. My only excuse is that I was writing early in the morning. Of course, now I have the exclamation point police after me…

I love lists! But immortelle, where are your fans today? I also hasten to add davana, dried grass or palm, carrot, clary sage and champaca.

It seems to me from the lists above that true perfumistas have pretty similar taste, in the direction of dark and incensey and nonfloral… Here’s mine, not too different either: amber, musk, leather, smoke, incense, patchouli, cardamom, nutmeg, saffron, cumin, ambergris, tea, coffee, booze, rhubarb, ginger and most woods.
