Every house, every perfume, every nose has a different take on a note, which is what makes a scent stand out. So, asking all of you guys, what’s your favorite fragrance for every different note? I’ll start first. Bergamot: Colonia Essenzia- Acqua di Parma Lemon: Neroli Portofino- Tom Ford Vanilla: Novae Vanilla- Atelier des Ors Iris: Muse- Saint Laurent Raspberry: Oud Nude- Guerlaim Lavender: Fucking Fabulous- Tom Ford Patchouli: Coromandel- Chanel Tea: The Noir 29- Le Labo Saffron: Oud for Greatness- Initio Honey: Naxos- Xerjoff Fig: Dioriviera- Dior Blood Orange: City of Stars- Louis Vuitton Cardamom: Gris Charnel- BDK Parfums Peach: Triumph of Bacchus- Argos Sandalwood: Bleu de Chanel Parfum- Chanel Coffee: Vanille Fatale- Tom Ford Rose: Ombre Nomade- Louis Vuitton Oud: Infinitoud- House of Bō Coconut: Virgin Island Water- Creed

Continuing my challenge using up samples from my collection in alphabetical order. I got the sample of this from one of the TPG Mystery boxes. It came as part of a sample kit that included all 6 fragrances from the house. The perfumer, Sean Colbert, is a musician, and he uses his understanding of music to create "layered scents of restraint and depth. Balancing harmony and contrast, each idea moves dynamically through the composition. Notes don't disappear - they evolve, taking on new form and weight from top to base." Notes: Top Notes: Citrus, Coriander, Melon Middle: Ginger, Grapefruit, Marine Notes Base: Fern, Musk, Woods Scent: 7.5 It is definitely a spring / summer scent. I honestly think that it smells a lot like the opening of Terre d'Hermes EDT. It is definitely a spring / summer scent. I honestly think that it smells a lot like the opening of Terre d'Hermes EDT. it has that same mineralic citrus quality with a similar earthiness in the dry down. It even performs in a similar way. It is a bit sweeter and more aquatic, but if you enjoy TDH, you will enjoy Knife Thrower. Performance: 7.0 It's a very quiet and intimate scent. It does get more powerful as the day goes on and the body warms the oils up, but it never really projects much beyond about arm's length. After a few hours, it became pretty much a skin scent on me, and was gone by mid-afternoon. I think that's actually a feature, and not a bug here. I think if it was more of a beast mode fragrance, it would detract from the overall experience that Buchart is going for. Package Design: 7.0 These come in 50, 10, and sample size bottles. The 50's have a really cool design on them, and the artwork is beautiful and interesting. But I don't know that Knife Thrower as a name fits the vibe that this fragrance projects. Based on the name, I'd expect something thrilling and a bit dangerous with an edge. Instead, it comes of like a modernized cover take on an old classic. While fun and enjoyable, it doesn't really break new ground. Especially when compared to the other fragrances in the lineup (Luten Errant is my favorite of the six).
