    I hate iso e Stupor, er super. It's a headache inducing, super synthetic smelling and cheap cedar-like chemical whose safety is FAR less known or discussed than oakmoss. Oakmoss might cause a little rash in a very small percentage of users but has been essentially banned by the big brains of IFRA while Iso E Super is a relative unknown whose use is celebrated and championed by IFRAs braintrust. Oakmoss, which has been safely used for well over 100 years is banned and this synthetic, nasty smelling aromachemical is just dandy? It's all about money. Another foul synthetic with similar issues to Iso E Super is ambroxan. Both are overused, smell lousy and are partially to blame for ruining perfumery.

    I absolutely adore this note. I find it very intoxicating and addictive. Guerlain does a wonderful LE Muguet which is released on May 1st every year but the price is obscene. Byredo’s Inflorescence is the next best thing but the longevity is only about 2 hours, sadly. I have yet to smell those Dior ones you mentioned but I’m eager to check them out.

    Nice content 👍 i think the perfumer should get more of a shout-out. He’s the icon they created the icon (and his story about being the secret perfumer of creed makes him even more amazing). When I think of cool water cologne I think of the Snoop Dogg - Lodi Dodi song where he gives it a call out.

      @@brentkallmer1319 I havnt read it yet, but on my list 💪 I listened to a few podcasts / interviews from the author. Very interesting. My guess (before reading the book) is that part of his deal with Creed was to build the status of the Creed family and not the perfumer. Definitely worked for marketing! But it’s good to see perfumers getting more credit these days.
