I'm looking for recommendations for an almond scent, looking for something not too gourmand, more in the powdery line.
Any suggestions?
Any suggestions?
I'd been looking at guerlain ideal and also AdP mandorlo di Sicilia, it seems to get compared with it. I'm in Newcastle tomorrow I may have a test in Fenwicks, see what they're like. The van cleef and arpels is a bit more than I want to pay tbhStraight off the top of my head (and knowing a bit about your frag likes and dislikes) there's Guerlain L'Homme Ideal and Van Cleef & Arpels Bois d'Amande ... bit more "modern" there's Victorinox (Swiss Army) Black Steel which is a leather frag with a biscuity (thought not too gourmand) overtone. Oud al Anfar Leather Oud (an attar) is very much in the same vein.
... as for aftershaves, I would have hoped some of our London houses who have almond scented soaps in their catalogue might have a matching splash, but I've come up wanting. Perhaps Cella?

It was comparatively, much less expensive a few years ago.
No. I tried the Acqua di Parma one and wasn't struck on it, Fenwicks had been rearranged since I was last there and I couldn't see the guerlain counter so never got chance to try ideal.Did you pick something up in toon?
