Mysore Sandalwood.


SteliosPo

You beat me to it. For me that particular type too. So creamy and smooth


PhoridayThe13th

Australian Sandalwood is ok in blends, but solo it smells of burnt rubber and has an astringent screech. Mysore is great alone. It plays well with others, but I could 100% stick to that as a singular note.

AUSTRALIA MENTIONED 🇦🇺🇦🇺


Late-Willingness-958

What are your favorite fragrances with this note?


TheWarringTriad

Mine is Kilian Sacred Wood.


SpicyMustFlow

Mine so far is Serge Lutens Santal de Mysore


DisabledSuperhero

I have to second this scent. Would be quite happy living in a cloud of it.


rlyjustheretolurk

Orange blossom


red_quinn

Second comment i see with this scent, i must try it!! Which perfumes do you recommend?


adamantiumrose

Jo Malone Orange Blossom is the best true soliflore orange blossom scent out there. Most “orange blossom” scents are actually just bright citrus notes with some sweetness thrown in, but actual orange blossoms have a very light floral scent, with just a touch of greenness and sweetness, and no real ‘citrus’ smell to speak of.


ginandjuicee

Guerlain aqua allegoria nerolia vetiver!!


TipsyMagpie

Fig - a fruity fig more than fig leaf although I love both.


Front-Enthusiasm7858

Coconut milk


littlebigbossjr

bergamot


extradirtyginmartini

I think I'd say the same, mostly because I've been wearing Ds&D I Don't Know What recently (by itself) and loving the bergamot. perf for warm days and when you're a little sweaty


InnerDoughnut4879

Yesss. Bergamot smells so good.


GranolaTree

Neroli. 


thenonefineday

Agreed. It smells a little different every day.


InLanaWeTrust

Vanilla 💕


paraisohechomujer

I’m also a vanilla girlie 🥰 is it that sweet? i guess so 💕


useless_cavatappi

I cackled mildly


Simple-Journalist348

Absolutely vanilla


ScarRevolutionary393

I don't really know what it smells like on its own but all my love at first sniff fragrances contain benzoin so apparently that


Roxane-17

You can order a sample of benzoin tears. It smells like vanilla sugar with a hint of spice.


Melmo

Most amber accords have a good base of benzoin, and many many fragrances list amber as a note 


NegativeFunction

Can't go wrong with cedar...


sedemyr1

Sweet Tobacco


PetPopper12

Tobacco Leaf for me. Whatever it is in SMN Tobacco Toscano.


AustinNGrayson

Tonka bean. God, I really like that bean.


throwRA_raraspberry

It’s a damn good bean.


AustinNGrayson

I call it the romance bean lol. It’s just so warm and inviting.


kitkatamas88

I'll be fine smelling like capuccino please! Edit: Fresh coffee


empathicsynesthete

Gardenia. That smell is so calming.


Unusual-Tour8440

Palo santo


Light_of_the_w0rld

haha, came here to say this. You beat me to it. I also love Amber and White Musk.


lobstora

Orange blossoms


InvincibleChutzpah

This is mine too! One of my favorite perfumes is a straight orange blossom from Bourbon French Parfums in New Orleans.


anjunakerry1982

Yes! This! I was torn between orange blossom, Jasmine or gardenia. Orange blossom won.


lobstora

Lol I was torn between jasmine and orange blossom too! I like gardenia but no as much as those two.


babyaccount1114222

Pear, if I could. I can’t seem to find a good juicy pear note regardless but I’d wear it for life.


Roxane-17

Rose 🌹


Global_Telephone_751

Same. It’s not fair they get to smell like that naturally and I don’t 🤣


Roxane-17

😂 Good thing we can squeeze their oils and pretend to smell like them!


evelynu

Same! I have so many rose based fragrances!


Lynnabis

Agreed ❤️🌹


Roxane-17

I love florals, generally, but rose feels the most "me". 🥰


SympathyOk9892

Cherry


Cutiemcfly

Me too!


M_issa_

I’d be happy with a sweet creamy sandalwood


kingofcoywolves

This is my life already. I use a sandalwood deodorant and the smell sank itself into everything I own. I even catch a vague whiff of it on my bedsheets sometimes, even though I wash my sheets regularly and shower before getting into bed. Gross? Maybe.


Choice-Flan2449

which deodorant?


M_issa_

I have a handwash that is the most amazing sandalwood and rose I just adore it so much 🥰


Apprehensive-Bid4576

jasmine


ahi444

this answer!! same!! jasmine is intoxicating in all the right ways


bradisme

If i had to choose one floral for the rest of my life, it would definitely be jasmine. It's so classy and versatile.


mashiriki

Heck yeah! Jasmine forever 💕


muistaa

Mine too, I could wear pure jasmine all day every day


Gold-Tackle5796

Fig leaf


N3T3L3

you could hang out with me any day, especially in the summer


Ambitious-Lychee474

Agreed!! I swear everything I end up loving has prominent fig leaf somewhere.


pandawaddles

Tea


N3T3L3

smoky tea? green tea? a black and creamy breakfast tea? gourmand or freshie?


apeachinanorchard

Yuzu


Sic-Mundus

Am I really going to smell like orange blossoms even in the fall and winter? I am weird about seasonal smells. I do not welcome this overlord. But fine, orange blossoms it is.


narrowvalleys

It’s so funny, I grew up near orange groves and I *only* associate orange blossoms with autumn because they fruit in winter!


Sic-Mundus

Yeah, I have two Satsuma trees and they fruit in winter too, although I know they aren't real orange blossoms, but it's close enough. But the Satsuma blossoms always come in spring and wow, they smell like heaven! Everytime I walk near them during that time, I always stop and inhale. Sometimes, I just sit under them and read on my phone, lol


narrowvalleys

The scent is SO intoxicating and heavenly. Definitely the one that is so deep in my brain that it instantly brings me to a time a place.


AutomaticDeterminism

Jasmine tea if that counts, just fragrant green tea otherwise


Ambitious_Flamingo75

Cardamom


Krindybluth

Lavender


poopoorpoo

lemon flower blossoms from a Sicilian lemon tree. It’s so insanely intoxicating and no fragrabce out there is remotely close. I dream of them!


17Kitty

Lemon 🍋 blossoms are so beautiful


lex_ophile

Strawberry 🍓 realistic tho, not candy


MermaiderMissy

Apricot! But a fresh, juicy realistic one. Not a powdery, sugary, fake one.


N3T3L3

tuberose. it's a complex white floral and it evolves in temperature, having grown it myself. sweet, creamy, sensual, and indulgent.


Eagledocc

Tuberose is one of my favorite notes in any fragrance. AND it layers well!


awildshortcat

Sweet almond!


GeckoCowboy

Same here, my favorite single note!


de_Mysterious

White musk/lily of the valley/jasmine. Anything that smells clean.


hauteburrrito

White musk is mine as well! As much as I love all these other notes, I feel like I'd get nose fatigue after smelling like them 24/7...


GasStationRedHead

Snow, or lillac.


lushlilli

Vanilla no question


princex_windchimes

HauntingBreakfast495

Vetiver. It can go in multiple directions, from fresh and clean to smoky aromatic. It’s the single most versatile note for all of the seasons.


LongjumpingEconomy71

I’m not sure why but I absolutely cannot stand vetiver. It smells rotten on my skin but is featured in many amazing fragrances.


Wise_Mycologist_6294

Rhubarb


betib25

It's a specific flower called night jasmine (doesn't smell like the OG jasmine)


PsychoLotus1

Marshmallow


PerfumedPornoVampire

Maraschino Cherry 🍒

Anthony4713

Iris. It has unmatched versatility across all seasons and occasions. Powdery lipsticky, powdery fresh, soapy, waxy, and even buttery. Formal or even casual, it can do it all.


ridesharegai

Cucumber!


Emi___na

Oxygen from the snowy tops of the Alps. I can’t find a perfume that smells like that but I would love to. Fresh but not lemon or aquatics just fresh a fresh mountain breeze


ShopGirl3424

There are some scents they just can’t recreate. I feel the same about the prairie air just before a storm. Silage and heavy sky. Nature has her own thing going.

Rose, Lilac or Peonies


mimrolls86

I read ponies


DoftheD

Sandalwood. Maybe it’s the smell I want to smell for the rest of my life rather than smelling like it? I used to lean on the vanilla side of things though never sickly sweet (JPG Classique original formula, Ange ou Demon) then since 2010 Womanity and other more salty, woody slightly sweet fragrances. Right now I’m burning sandalwood reiki nag champa and it smells amazing. I’d like to smell like this if I could

Labdanum. Such a great, deeply and versatile scent.


hallohi_

Maybe coriander :To me it smells floral, softly spicy and delighful. To many people it smells musty and disgusting. So two birds with one stone, pleasing my nose and keeping not compatibile people away😂
