I currently am wearing I on my left wrist, K on my right wrist, and J on my bosom. I’m still getting an initial soapiness, but the drydown (see? I’m learning, umm, unless I used that incorrectly) was fabulous. Particularly of J which seems to have some sweeter notes that I enjoy, it’s almost floral.

I is the most perfumey (well, I tried!). It smells most like.. a perfume. Actually, let me explain K and J and maybe that will put I in a better perspective.

K has a lot of leather in its midsection. It’s not quite manly, but a little brut. Like something a man might like smelling on his wife, but still very feminine. Almost matronly though. Like, for the authoritative woman. It seems less warm than the others.

J has fabulous floral notes, but they seem to be muted by a disinfectant like note. Perhaps when it wears a bit longer it will rest into those notes, but there’s something that seems to be blocking it.

Which brings me back to I. It doesn’t smell like flowers, or like leather, or like dew on a soft spring day, it smells like classic vintage perfumery.

I’ll carry them around and do another comment closer to the end of the week, but that’s the starter. I love I, and think that J has great potential. K is lovely, but it’s just not to my current liking. That may change by the end of the week!

I will have to go back and smell C. I did like mod G though. After various people pointed it out, I do see the soapiness. However, I tried Les Parfums de Rosine Roseberry yesterday and wow, that had a soapy opening! The mods have only faint soapiness next to that.

Yes, exactly. I didn’t know that it used to include true animal notes though. I don’t mind that so much, but man, the things we used to do.

We also discussed other choices for notes, one such being use of a honey note

Honey notes work lovely on my skin, but I know not everyone is so fortunate. But what an interesting idea!

While it’s my imagination that spaked the creation, when it comes down to it, the entire project should be credited to his work and his creativity. I have this terrible fear that if I try to insert myself too much into his own ideas, Auxeos will meet some laughable Wile E. Coyote end.

Hee! You are a very sweet girl Katie. I’m sure the frangrance will be great for both of you.

I agree with you about mod G, I think it is the most natural progression from mod C (which was the fan fave in these parts). I took a rest from them, and will be trying again soon. I’m still getting that weird smokey smell, but now that I think about it, soapy might be a more apropos definition. I can see where the two meet in that regard. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this!
