What do your boys smell like?

I talked about this a bit on this earlier post and I don't think I have anything significant to add to it at this time. But I could tell you which perfumes they might wear in modern times? (Scents are hard to describe but I included some of their main notes to give you a vaguest idea of what they're like).

Vasco

État libre d'Orange - Tom of Finland (iris, leather, tonka bean) Dior - Homme Parfum (leather, iris, rose) Tom Ford - Tuscan leather (leather, woody, amber)

Machete

Heeley - Cardinal (linen, myrrh, frankincense) État libre d'Orange - Rien Intense Incense (frankincense, amber) Lalique - Encre Noire (cypress, vetiver)

#I'm kind of sensitive to strong smells but also one of those people that are constantly sniffing everything (?) #so navigating perfumery is kind of hazardous a lot of them give me a headache or make me feel sort of ill and dizzy #but I think these are nice I own/have owned all of these except Tuscan Leather #which is so sophisticated and rich and leathery but awfully overpriced and I don't think I can ever afford a full bottle #answered #anonymous #modern au #a lot of overlapping ingredients because big surprise leather and frankincense are my favorites #I usually wear perfumes at home only because smelling strongly is kind of a faux pas in Finnish culture #a lot of schools and workplaces for example are expected or at least strongly encouraged to be as scent free as possible #which is smart I approve that #but it does limit your opportunities to find uses for these things
