Heyyy there,

the title basically says it all. I'm M20 and in search for my first fragrance.

I want to finally smell like an adult and not the typical Axe/Lynx teenager lol.

I search for something with a hint of sweetness that smells like a cozy sweater and cuddles on a fall evening, but still "adult" and masc. I absolutely want to have vanilla in it and I don't like smelling like charcoal, earth, or most spices. I can live with *some* smokeyness. I like a little wood, but I don't want to smell like my dining table or the forest either haha.

I read through some posts and here are some fragrances that I think I would like:

-Hexennacht Ambre Vanille

-Hexennacht Velvet Cocoon

-Solstice Scents Manor

-Death and Floral the sweater we buried you with

Right now I use the shower gel and deodorant Brooklyn Soap Company Vanilla Cashmere. It's smells nearly exactly like what I'm searching for and I got some compliments for it. They released an EDT with that scent, but I'm not sure, if I want to drop 50€ without a sample first, because in my experience it will probably ever so slightly smell different in a way that I don't like...

PS:
I don't want to smell mainstream like everyone else. That's why I started my search here 😄

EDIT:

THANK YOU! No seriously, I didn't expect that many recommendations, maybe one or two...
While I can't react to every comment rn, I read everyone of them :3.

I decided to check Haus of Gloi out and ordered a *few* samples. Cozy sweater, yule set #1 and yule set #2. (mainly looking forward to his sweater, long winter's nap and snow wolf).

"Nava Etherian Amber" and "And Though They Are With You Yet They Belong Not" are on my list to check out next too, as well as alkemia once I know some of the names haha 😄*. I'll be busy for some time and thx again, love y'all.*
