JulesinRose: China White is my favorite of the Nasomattos I’ve tried … it’s worth buying a sample I think.

I would think the smell of marijuana would be easy to re-create, but I’m no scent chemist. Frankly, I find that skunky smell nearly revolting, so it’s nice that this doesn’t smell like it (to me)! I have never smelled China White as I certainly wouldn’t blind buy, but I’m so curious. No one on MUA, where I usually conduct swap, has ever had it (and/or) wanted to swap with me. ; (

Enjoyed the review, thanks Kevin. Just responding to the catnip comment above which I totally relate to. Angela reviewed something here which she described as hideously beautiful and which she saw being worn by someone with a difficult past and possibly bi polar disorder. I bought a bottle. (Patou’s Que Sais -Je )

alotofscents: I, too, love Polo (in the green bottle)…and I really can’t think of anything quite like it on the perfume shelves.

I guess Nasomatto is to regulated substances what Etat Libre d’Orange is to sex… I’ll give this one a try, but I do find the line a little too deliberately rough-edged for my tastes. I almost scrubbed my fingerprints clean off when some Duro got on my fingertips during a decanting operation.

Hey Kevin, I could also wear my Earthworm fragrance when I want to be nostalgic, or to attract a handsome Bass fisher, or even to lie to my nosey sister, “Yep, I’ve been working hard in the garden this morning.”
Off topic–I love Polo on a man, it turns me on. What smells similar or in the same category as Polo? I am still in the dark ages when it comes to men’s fragrances.

Desmondorama: as far as I know Jules is still being made…just not exported. Several French readers have written me saying it’s available.

I know! I even bought Yatagan unsniffed thinking it would be right up my alley. Sadly, even after several tries, I just can’t. Even lightly dabbed I’m not sure if I could do it. I did like Kevin and sprayed with wild abandon trying to force myself into it LOL. And…buh bye.
