I’m so here for this!
If you like those paper/skin scents, I have to recommend Porter Sa Peau L'Objet Parfumant by Roberto Greco: “Porter sa peau (wearing one's skin) is the reflection of my way of thinking – deformed as it may be – and of my life experience. Wearing my skin like I’d wear blinders, to see better and farther, has been my way of looking into myself through a series of photographs.
I have had to lean down to perceive the shimmering image of another me. Naturally, the narcissus flower was the obvious choice when I started thinking of this fragrance with the perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux.
Beyond its symbolism, its ambivalent facets expressed the rawness of nature as well as a more carnal imagery. To materialize the grainy and misty texture I gave to my images, in which perceptual confusion gives way to a form of clarity, we have played on the nostalgia of aldehydes, blowing cool and hot facets. The floral down of pale hawthorn blends with the insidious velvet touch of moist flesh, before vanishing into the animalic fumes of salty musks and an ambergris accord." I also really like Muscs Koublai Khan and Salome for full on skanky skin and body odor scents.
I also really love sandalwood with actua ambergris in it because it’s stinky and sexy at the same time. I always tell people that there are stages to getting obsessed with perfume: first you want to smell good, then you want to smell intereating and finally you want to smell repulsive.
caroline omg thank you so much!! I didn’t start getting into fragrances until recently but honestly some is out of smelling at nordstrom, some is just by browsing fragrantica and ordering samples online, and some is by twitter scrolling. All the ones I’m most familiar with are just ones I also like myself! My fragrantica profile is at fragrantica.com/member/1924506 if you want to check it out :3 🫶💌
