Purfume and cologne type FO's?


Clear Black

Recommended Posts

i scrolled through about 15 pages of this section and didnt see any mention of purfume or cologne type FO's. Im wondering if anyone has ever used some and where did they get them? 

 

I have come across a couple but have no idea if they are any good:

 

Angle Type (CS) https://www.candlescience.com/fragrance/angel-type-fragrance-oil

Drakkar Type (CS) https://www.candlescience.com/fragrance/angel-type-fragrance-oil

Love Spell (CS) https://www.candlescience.com/fragrance/love-spell-fragrance-oil

Moon Lake Musk (CS) https://www.candlescience.com/fragrance/moon-lake-musk-fragrance-oil

 

Cool Waters Type (Fillmore) http://www.fillmorecontainer.com/Cool-Waters-Type-Fragrance-Oil-1-P722.aspx?c=13

Very Sexy for Him (CW) http://www.candlewic.com/store/product.aspx?q=c147,p1283&title=Very-Sexy-for-Him-VS-Type

Just my opinion --- 

Drakkar ... you would waste your money. I feel like everyone has watered down this fragrance. The last good one of this was from a company that went out of business years ago. A lot of suppliers like to say that Drakkar and midsummer's night are interchangeable and I disagree. 

Personally, from CS, this is a fragrance I wouldn't buy from them. It was just ... well ... off/not close/name it second-chance thrift shop or something. I know, that may sound a little harsh. I happen to love a man who can wear this cologne ... I don't mind letting my nose stalk someone who can pull off the scent. 

 

Love Spell ... Tennessee Candle Supply has the least harshest of the fragrance IMO. 

 

Moon Lake Musk ... I don't have this one. I have one version and that's for soap or perfumes that I use it, so I can't answer. 

The Very Sexys ... I had a lot of success using the AH/RE versions so I didn't stray from them to tell you more. 

 

As for Cool Water ... someday I hope to have a chance to smell it. I'm wondering if it is something that would pair well with leather to make a Good Looking Cowboy dupe ... but I doubt it. Unfortunately Day-Star stopped carrying Good Looking Cowboy. 

 

Just to add ... I smelled an Angel FO once and gagged so I definitely can't help out on that one. 

 

The Axe fragrances, I can't do you there either. Wish I could, but I'm hunting on that one trying to compare to NG's versions.

Thanks for the suggestions WoWo. I was going to order some Drakkar type but will hold off on that unless I desperatley need to.

 

As far as the very sexys, why does AH/RE carry two male type FO's and none for a female scent? I figured there would at least be one Very Sexy for Her but didnt find it

They used to have a Very Sexy for Her, but apparently it didn't move enough so they must have ditched it ??? I can't answer that. 

 

As for two kinds, well they've bought out a few companies and just kept carrying their inventory. They have a few of a couple of fragrances or used to have a couple that seemed all the same. 

 

As for the Drakkar, it was from At-Wixs-End. Unfortunately that wasn't a company that was picked up by someone else. The Drakkar was a dream to soap and did well in candles too. If you go looking for the fragrance, just be picky. 

 

My thought on fragrances that get named this or that ... i.e. Drakkar aka midsummer night or vice versa ... is BS. Here was the difference for me ... I'd sneeze like crazy with MS, but Drakkar ... not a problem. The differences may be minute, but they are there. I don't find MS to be a sexy fragrance even if I didn't sneeze, but Drakkar is a totally different story ... so MS misses on something to make it comparable IMO.

This is all great info, thanks Scented. I will be making some FO purchases next week based on some of this feedback. This at least gives me a starting point in finding the purfume or cologne FO I want. Appreciate the help tons :)
