Thread starter AntonW Start date Sep 7, Hello Gents, although I've only just joined this wonderful forum, at the risk of being ostracised I'll put forward one of my all time favourite scents - GF Trumper's Ajaccio Violets.
Compared to a 'whore's handbag' at times, I find the deep, woody, mossy scent both alluring and troubling. It is a fragrance that takes on many changes throughout the day, and I think more than usual reacts to body heat, chemistry and mood.
Some days I have worn this and it has been mellow and soft, others it has raged and battled uncontrolled. It certainly has a life of its own and will not sit idly on the skin. The rewards are that you smell like no one else; it has a deep meditative quality that seems to affect the senses; people will be attracted to the scent those discerning and you can smell the changes for yourself throughout the day. It is not a young man's fragrance, and I say that with respect for youth, it is an older man's scent with the world weariness to carry it.
I hope I do it justice as I know it is does for me. I suggest try it for a short time, in autumn or winter it is not for warm weather and see how it affects you. If you enjoy its warmth and oddness, wear it for yourself and let others enjoy - or not.
