    the main note in musc ravageur that makes it so sexual is the heavy musk replica note's inclusion alongside the clove and powdery vanilla. musk is the typical note associated with "skanky" since it is baically the core of the whole "animalic" category (since musk literally used to be from animal glands)
    i would probably say manwhore scents go two ways; the first being musky/animalic, and the other being in a boozy/sweet vanilla or tobacco/"clubbing" direction (i.e. what some people say about Layton).
    off the top of my head im always bad at naming scents, will have to give me a bit to make a list lol

    yeah no rush for the list, i guess animalic is the direction im looking towards. the sweatier, dirtier end of the spectrum. love layton a lot got a few samplers and plan on getting a full bottle when i see one at a good discount pop up but i really like the direction of musc ravageur

    Serge Lutens has a lot of animalic ones, maybe check them out? Will have to do decants for samples though, as they don't have a great sample system otherwise.

    It's getting better as they're taking away spaces from cars to better serve pedestrians/cyclists/the disabled

    In the center for the most part for now, but they've just kind of started the initiative. Pretty excited for the development

    Cologne Française is insane. Smells like original Dior Homme mixed with a fig note. Not sure why this one didn’t click the first time I sampled the Celine line but its so good

    Fig, iris/orris, musk combo

    to me it smells like if grand soir was drenched in sweat and wore a leather jacket. or like a dirtier less sweet tobacco vanille. not sweat like a big dude on a hot day like the sweat after doing manual labor, playing sports, or being in a club for a while. personally i don’t know when i would wear this or if it even fits me as a person but i really appreciate it might gift this to someone if i can figure out what kind of person this would mesh with

    I get told I’m really masculine I may have to lean towards scents that are described like this and see if they work for me

    Le Lion is another

    That one requires huge gigantic balls to wear
