Hey guys! I have a new idea for a mood I need a fragrance for.

I, 32M, am looking for a scent I can wear mostly on nights out, that matches a masculine/unisex whimsigoth/post-punk vibe. 

I've been researching Lolita Lempicka for my wife (I have a tester on the way), and it's got me very intrigued. I'll definitely try it on myself too, but I was wondering if I could find something similar in concept, but maybe less sweet and warm. Definitely less vanilla. Something that's a bit esoteric, ethereal and mysterious. Something that's not too common or office safe, and especially not a generic male scent.

Anyway, here's some notes I like:
Fresh tops, like bergamot, cypress, mint, aromatics, fresh but dry. Hearts of incense, tobacco, violet/iris, clean and dark stuff. Powdery is fine. For base, leather, patchouli, vetiver, amber, cedar. Generally, I love fresh vs. dark. A little sweetness is fine, as long as the scent feels colder and not gourmand. I'm less into the smell of things and food related to Halloween, for example, and more into the idea of Halloween as a dark, cold and creepy but also fun and whimsical time.

I'm looking forward to yall's input. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! I'm absolutely in love with this sub, and since I'm trying to venture out into niche fragrance territory for the first time, you are the only ones that can help.

I (32M, Brazilian) am looking for something I can wear daily, that kind of matches these two vibes that keep clashing in my memories: a sort of rainy afternoon in the 90's, driving home with a McDonald's bag, listening to Slowdive and Radiohead (completely made up from memory fragments, 'cause I was born in 1993), and my time in university around 2011-13 when I as part of a group of mostly girl friends, and we'd go out frequently to watch indie movies, plays, exchange weird music recommendations and study screenwriting (though we weren't in film school).

In my head, this scent is somewhere between what I used to wear back then (Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme 2008) and a fragrance my friend wore, which I have no idea what it is, but it smelled abstract, dry, mineral and very gentle; totally unexpected for a 19yo girl in Brazil at the time. Anyway, here's some notes I like:

Fresh tops, like bergamot, cypress, mint, green aromatics, mineral accords, fresh but dry and even bitter. Hearts of incense, tobacco, violet/iris, clean and dark stuff. For base, leather, patchouli, vetiver, amber, cedar. Generally, I love fresh vs. dark, and NOT SWEET in the slightest.

Thanks for the help, and I hope this all makes some sense!
