The Odd Fellow Bouquet

I live for oddities and weirdness or quirkiness in a GOOD way and in a BIG way. This composition smells to me of "Cookie Dough". I get instantly reminded of my early childhood, baking with my mother for Christmas cookies, biscuits or "Plaetzchen" as we used to call it in German. It is a lovely skin scent; strong, but nevertheless very sensual, seductive, sexual, sophisticated, and most of all VERY GOURMAND. I used to love to lick the raw buttery dough from the big wooden spoon plus anything that was left in the big batter mixing bowl, that my mother gave me as a reward for my help in the kitchen. (half an hour later I usually had a bit of a tummy ache but that did not bother me). I cannot help but think of a romantic bakery, patisserie or Viennoiserie in the context of this scent. Perhaps some old Viennese Bakery with hundreds of years of heritage, still using those beautiful white paper crochet style doily (the decorative kind). Truly original and truly an oddball, in the nicest possible way. ATKINSONS I love you for bringing my childhood back. xx

This is my favorite in all Atkinsons line, and I do like all other man/unisex fragrances they offering. To me it is like if Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Guerlain Heritage had baby. It is very well blended, none of ingredients sticks out - truly bouquet, not individual flowers. If I could smell tobacco in it, that would be not classic tobacco but rather like honey and spice scented tobacco sold in some Asian countries. It doesn't change much in all 10+ hours it lasts on me, and in this case it's a good thing, since it is gorgeous scent. The type that quietly but confidently says "class and sophistication", but in the same time very sexy if not outright seductive. I see it mostly suited for 30+ group, but it easily could be used as evening scent for formal occasions or date night for younger gentlemen. Although I would consider Fall/Winter scent, it is not too heavy to wear it in Spring or colder Summer nights. Scent 10/10 Longevity 9/10 Projection 8/10 Sillage 8/10 Price for Quality 9/10 Definitely bottle worthy!

very underrated one, opening with spicy of ginger and pepper, plus some well blended vani and a very subtle "sourness" from maybe the labdanum, at the opening, if you are not familiar with the "tobacco vani", you will not notices it. It (the t-v) is very subtle. Ambery spicy at the opening, a bit (very bit) fresh, very unique. Then, as the time go on, the tobacco vani aspect begin to appear more and more clear. Great one, first I bought it because of the tobacco vani, then, I'm gradually in love with the spicy amber opening of this one. Absolutely gonna get one full. Con này ngon lắm các bạn, nó không phải nồng nặc tobacco vani ngay từ đầu như Tom Ford hay đậm đặc như 18.21 đâu, mà ban đầu nốt cay-ngọt (ngọt kiểu amber) sẽ lên trước, xa lạ và không liên quan gì đến tobacco vani cả, nhưng nếu dùng con này một thời gian thì bạn sẽ cảm nhận được tobacco vani ở ngay những lớp hương đầu tiên vì nó rất thoang thoảng. Dần dần về sau dry down thì nó sẽ ra tobacco vani rõ rệt hơn hẳn. Cực ngon, cực ít được biết đến.

There is a reason why I love niche frags, it's the exclusivity! They smell different and not in the way that's commonly and widely accepted by the mass. While I love brands like Narciso Rodriquez and Prada, some frags from Diptyque or Penhaligon stir my intellectual part. Atkinson's Odd fellow is totally out of there and unique. It shows quick evolution from the opening to the dry-down. Love them notes but not quite at the dry down. The scent is huge, it stays with you and won't go away until days after. Just a warning, that it's not quite a safe buy, hence sampling is a must. But if you're seeking for that campfire scent: warm resin, tobacco, and sweet syrup notes, then this Odd fellow is yours to go.

O-M-G. I'm literraly speechless now. Words escapes me. This is totally a Hidden gem in the chest full of gems I might say. Beautiful combination of Tobacco leaves and Bezoin. Sweet, tampted, elegant, seductive, polite, charming,...I can spend all day tallking about the goodness of this beauty. Thanks God I decided to turn to the Just Opened Shopping Mall downtown where the Atkisons Boutique located. Sillage: B (quite noticable in the couple of first hours) Duration: A (Yes, it stays and it stays LONG. 8h+) Smell: A+ (IF there's any higher possible rate than A+) Versatility: B (for gentlements ONLY, no kids, no jokes)

Spicy, vanillic, ambery, powdery, tobacco. On first spray I briefly smell a bit of vanilla, but it's not gourmand, with heliotrope very present. Then it turns spicy, powdery and I get the tobacco, not in your face, but nicely blended with the rest of the accords. This is a very well blended perfume, where the final result is bigger than the sum of its notes. Masculine, classic, unique. Not a beast so, good for the office, and on my skin it lasts about 7 h.

I adore this one. I've been hoarding a tiny sample for a few months now, thanks to the very helpful SA at Barney's in Chicago. It's mostly tobacco, sweetened by heliotrope and benzoin without becoming syrupy, and enough light spice to keep the fragrance interesting. Rather dry. It's quite soft, but tenacious; "Come closer" rather than "Here I am!". Highly recommended!

Amazing fragrance, reminds me of Tobacco Vanille with cinnamon, whiskey and gingerbread cookies, it can be easily unisex, amazing quality, lasting power is really high

Wonderful!, for smokers. If had more longetivity I would have given 9,3/10, but so only 9/10

pipe tobacco and sweet woodiness, love this scent, a worthy addition to collection.

Not just for man. It will be for me too. Beautiful!

Best frag from this underrated house!

"Twas noontide of summer, And mid-time of night; And stars, in their orbits, Shone pale, thro' the light" Somehow the OFB makes me think of this poem by Edgar Allen Poe when I wear it - it must be because The Bouquet is very funky and rich, consisting of ginger, benzoin and labdanum, Strongest notes are heliotrope, honey and tobacco. Overall, I prefer the dryer tabacco scents and this is a tad on the sweet side for me - as in sweet but still masculine and could get a bit cloying over time. The drydown is nutty and a little nougat-like. Definitely a scent for dressing up more than casual and smells of quality ingredients. It reminds me to some degree of Tobacco Vanille with the vanilla being replaced by honey (the honey note probably comes from the mix of heliotrope and benzoin) - in fact I find to be very similar to Odori Tabacco, so much that if you have that one in your collection, this one would probably be redundant. Very nice of you're a fan of sweet tobacco, but try before you buy.

My first impression of Odd Fellow Bouquet was "Wow"- really pleasant and elegant. Tobacco and benzoin joined by labdanum and heliotrope in a really well-made homogeneous blend. I also think it's a great step to leave out the vanilla from the amber chord, it makes Odd Fellow Bouquet slightly darker compared to its relatives. e.g. TF Tobacco Vanille. The very friendly smoothness of the blend is at the same time the strength and the weakness of Odd Fellow Bouquet. The first impression is wonderful probably, to a great deal, due to the very fine tuned balance. But, to me, after an hour or so the very same factors that provided this wonderful first impression become a problem. Over time nothing interesting is happening, there is no evolution and for me to be immersed in this soft scent for a whole day becomes a bit monotonous. But in total Odd Felow Bouquet is very well made and definitely worth trying.

At first glance, this one seems similar to a lot of other sweet tobacco fragrances, but the heliotrope makes it unique. I like it, but I'm not sure I'm enough of a floral fan to love it. Definitely unique in the "sweet tobacco" subgenre and worth checking out, especially if you think the similar fragrances are too "masculine." Edit: After coming to appreciate heliotrope more, I came back to my sample of TOB and now I want a bottle.

This is a super strong Benzoin, Tobacco and Labdanum juice. At least for 3 hours or so... This is beastly on me for a few hours before settling down. I like it but do not love it... I will really have to be in the mood to wear this... Winter and Fall days and nights. I wouldn't wear this to the office unless you spray lightly and a couple of hours before going in. I would say this is a try before you buy... Enjoy!

I wanted to love this, but sadly there is only like. Warm tobacco-powder with flashes of pepper and ginger. There's something about the coldness of the heliotrope that doesn't play well with the tobacco; similarly, the resinous benzoin-labdanum accord strikes a strange note with the ginger. I suppose the name is apt, after all: this is a very odd fellow. Pleasant and powerful enough, but not quite balanced.

Cookie Dough might be the best way to put it. Benzoin and ginger are magnified with small doses of lab and tobacco. Similar to Missions as they are both crafty light scents. Missions would be the obvious choice as it is way cheaper. The Odd Fellow is nice on it's own but does not warrant the price tag.

Loving this. Warm, powdery tobacco wrapped in honey and heliotrope. Super musky. The resins are there too, subtly. No ginger detected.

Tobacco Vanille style DNA with a shitload of heliotrope and cinnamon. A sweet masculine floral. 7.7/10
