Hey there Posse, Recently I was trawling through FaceBook and you know when you’re not really looking or reading but you’re just skimming? Well that’s exactly what I was doing. My eyes caught something from a friend KateSp that made me stop. It said “If I was on a Dating Site.” What an out of character thing for my mate to say. Then I looked below the caption and saw this Sexy Salamander pic.
Scent The Sexy Salamander
If I was on a Dating Site
Laugh? OMG! I laughed so loud that the dogs got a fright and woke up. That is freaking hilarious to me. Best afternoon entertainment for a while.
Then I got to thinking, what would our Sexy Salamander wear for fragrance? So many things going through my head, vintage, designer, niche and Indie. Any of them could be a perfect fit for our playboy. Then I thought about the “BRO’s”, what might they wear to create olfactory excitement amongst the salamander posse?
Aoud Cuir d’Arabie by Montale
Fragrantica gives these featured accords:
Tobacco, dry leathery, smoky notes of birch, oud
I remember the first time I wore Aoud Cuir d’Arabie, it was like a brutish rush of testosterone and power. That’s quite a feeling for someone who has always been a bit of a lady boy, intoxicating. montage has an amazing capacity to keep churning out enormous amounts of product that’s pretty similar but Aoud Cuir d’arabis stands alone in their line as the modern day Kouros. A 21st century masculine siren that has to be worn by the sexiest of the species or it overwhelms. Clearly I’m not it’s target market but I still like to get it out irregularly and triple spritz some cartoonishly masculine scent, all birchy leather and poopy oud ver a honeyed tobacco that only just misses being fully urinous by a hairs breadth.

I did a full post on Aoud Cuir d’arabis back in 2012
So, what do you think our sexy Salamander should be wafting?

Cutest salamander ever! I love the sexy pose! Azzaro pour Homme?
Heh, it’s an interesting pinky-purple. Fracas?
FRACAS! Perfect MrsDallloway. OTT and smooth.

Aoud Cuir smells like the shoe department to me at a nice department store (before Macy’s bought it.)
Yeah I get that, nice analogy Grizzlesnort.

This is FANTASTIC. I love your Montale choice. I would probably add either Knize Ten or Arquiste Nanban for a Sal, and Papillon’s Salome for, well, a Salome!
Excellent choices HeidiC.
The names are even more perfect.

LOL! Too funny. He or she is soooo cute. I think with that particular salamander pose, it actually needs nothing more than to be its irresistibly au naturale self. Lol!
Hey JenniferS,
You may be right.

Yatagan: if they stay to the end of the date, they are a keeper.
HA HA HA! Yatagan is PERFECT! What a terrific scent.

I have absolutely no idea but absolutely love that little guy (or gal)! Started my day off with a smile. Thanks Portia!
Excellent Kandice,
My work here is done.

I remember when she posted this – I nearly fell off my chair laughing (I miss Fbooknotreallybutdayumtherearesomegemsonthere). Well, first I would make sure she had a good deodorant for those sexy salamanderpits. That’s essential. Then…I dunno. I was just smelling ‘The Night’, Malle’s UAE scent – it’s got the vibe but is way too luxe. Maybe Carnal Flower (the entire line, all at once) because she’s got some glam, there.
The Dude Salamander is completely un-ironic so I think I would put him either in Geoffrey Beene’s Grey Flannel (one of my faves for LIFE) or Ralph Lauren’s Polo (alas, always over-applied, which is perfect for the un-ironic Salamander posing for poontang 😉
xoxoxo
btw – My Psycho Self keeps seeing a LV bowler bag in the back! I need to get myself together 😉

But look at his eyes Musette. They are like Buddha’s eyes, so calm and all knowing.

Portia – that little Sal KNOWS he’s HAWT! He is defiantly un-ironic in his Hawtness! I would date him! xoxoxo
HA! He’d tie you in a knot.
I had to laugh at the picture. For the men, I have to go with Pour Monsuier or for a woman, Shalimar or vintage Bal.
Excellent choices Eldarwen22,
Is that the CHANEL Pour Monsieur?
