Discovery of a house: Room 1015

[Edit - With links and pictures]

Hey brothers!

In my quest to find my cherry scent i was kindly suggested to look at this house. Since in Europe it is hard to find a 1015 counter, i ordered a full discovery set.

11 scents arrived by the courrier couple days ago, and i finally have the chance to try all of them, for now on paper. I will check the selected few on skin during the week.

Out of 11, i would consider only 4-5 being really wearable by men, but I let people be judge of that with their own taste. I feel the scent profile of this house is simplicity, as in you can definitely picture one note, with many things around to just boost its effect, not perfumes that try to blend too many scents to create something new. I personally like this approach.

So in order of preference:

Cherry punk extrait de parfum, and Cherry punk EDP. Now both are great and are similar to Tom Ford Cherry fragrances. The extrait is similar to Tom Ford Cherry smoke, and the EDP to lost Cherry. So the extrait has this smokey aspect, slightly synthetic Cherry which i personally love. The EDP is more natural, like a real cherry, so sweeter too. Here is really a matter of taste. The edp cherry note is similar to the note found in Armani stronger with you Powerfully, but last the whole time and is objectively much much much better. I plan on using both in a layering combo with ombre leather from TF.
Electric wood: nutmeg, chestnuts and wood done right. This is a scent i smelled so many times, yet i feel this one is a hit. I will need to make some research and take the time to compare it, because it sits at a crossroad of so many other fragrance, but for some reasons it resonates with me.
Sonic Flower. Now this one leans feminine on top note, with pear and apple. I think i prefer this trail though compared to Hermetica Appear (which is btw fabulous). The pear is here, natural and beautiful. I absolutely want to try this on skin, since the dry down feels more masculine. For my pear scent, it will probably end up being this one or Hermetica, again with some layering.
Ten Fifteen - i do not know if i like it or not, it has the same effect on me than Another 13 from Le Labo, including this scent of humid magazine newspaper in the dry down (more feminine though). This scent has iris and some other unique flowers, but this stays overall a subtle scent, something that could grow on you overtime. I am curious to try it on skin to see what chemistry it gets.
Love-o-matic / wavechild would come next, although they are very different. Wavechild is very pleasant at first with watermelon, pepper and some other freshy smell, but becomes extremely synthetic in the dry down on paper. Here we are in woman territory, and trying it on my skin would make little sense. I will ask my other half to try it out for me 😉 Love-o-matic is more your orange/citrus scent with light flowery notes. Inoffensive in top note, not very great on dry down. I will try that one on skin just to go down the rabbit hole, but I would not replace any of my citrus frag with this one as it lacks some omph. Too common, and maybe again more feminine.

Now let's wrap up quickly the rest:

Purple Mantra would be something a man would wear, but my brain has the same reaction than to Terre d'Hermes: this is an old man fragrance, i just can't appreciate that scent profile.
Hollyrose is rose and leather jacket, way too feminine for me and smells like old lady in the dry down
Same treatment for Jasmin freak: beautiful jasmin starting up, then going old lady perfume in the dry down.
Sweet leaf is cannabis and eucalyptus. Not my type of scent

Happy weekend to you all !!
