FDB is beautiful and if you love that smell I would consider this one as well. I'm also wondering if his Cedre is also similar.

PS.... thanks for having me!

I've been living on swapped decants for a very long time too -- it isn't a cheap scent, and it's impossible to find at discount. If you love that childhood scent of pencil shavings, do try Serge Lutens Santal Blanc. Hi and welcome!

I have been reading Now Smell This blog for a while now and have finally decided join as it's Saturday night and i'm at a loose end... Not a chance of going out for drinks, dinner or a movie tonight as i have spent all my money on perfume this week :-) Anyhow.... TP is one of my top five favourites... that said i dont even own a bottle as it costs AU$350 over here and is only available from Mecca Cosmetica. I too rely on decants from a generous sales assistant. I will get around to buying it one day when i stop buying other perfumes long enough to save up for it. I love the soft woodiness of this fragrance... and i'm not usually a fan of wood. But this one reminds me of the wood in pencils and is child-like and nostalgic to me... then again i was very aware of aromas as a child and one of my favourite things to smell was my pencil case. The pencils, ink, scented erasers.... sigh! :-) HI there!

I do not discount their expertize, only on some of the ones mentioned. None-the-less, I did enjoy their book and still do and I love the humor in the descriptions.

Look for Chandlers comments on Tiempe Passate in The Emperor of scaent. How could anyone diss this genious of a blend.

They're both such great writers! But I really don't care for much of the 4 or 5 stars and find myself loving the 3 stars quite a bit. But I'm new at this perfume thing and need to educate myself so I feel confident choosing for myself. Yeah, I'll admit I rely on that guide too much. They're both such great writers!
