Best Savant Manhattan Cherry by Chris Collins Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

A pile-up of contrasts: cinnamon along with tropical florals frangipani and ylang ylang, against the earthy bitterness of artichoke and leather. This almost-gingerbread, almost-cement perfume confuses the senses with its animal/vegetable/mineral mystery.

A fragrant and floral dedication to emotions and the intricate patterns that shape and run through the structure of our brains. Liquid joy prepared with balsamic labdanum, leathery orange blossom and violet leaf absolutes and a drop of fruity coffee nuance.

Naomi Goodsir’s Bois d’Ascese is perhaps the smokiest peaty and charred-whiskey-barrels smelling perfume out there. But the smoke in this fragrance is quite contemplative, it’s not the hints of gunpowder or fireworks, neither is it anything foody. The smoke and woods in this perfume are dry and romantically ascetic, rather introvert and they practice self-discipline.

Rare mizunara oak, used in Japanese whisky barrels, imparts an unusual sandalwood/pineapple undertone to the “water of life” maturing within. This eau de parfum blends the effect of mizunara oaked whisky with the furry, malty smell of chestnut for a moreish, warm experience. Don’t be fooled by the shape of the bottle — this whisky is only for spritzing, not sipping! 

Love around the campfire. Heavily peated, spiced scotch in the wet woods

FLORIAN GALLO

A smoky spicy floral rather than a hops-fuelled fury, this warrior of the night throws the first punch: carnation, with its red-hot clove effect. An unusual nuance of malt, toasted and rich, is complemented by smoked tea. A hint of vintage violet permeates the intriguing melting candle drydown.

Perfumer: Prin Lomros

Please note this 2020 formulation by Prin is a new vision of the Rhinocerous theme and is not a replacement (neither conceptually and nor technically) for the prevous discontinued formulation. 

Prin Lomros tells this bold leather story in his favorite witchy herbal incense style with a few nods to the first chapter (the boozy theme of rum and whiskey).

Zoologist's concept for the perfume:

"Under the searing gaze of an unrelenting sun, the ornery rhinoceros surveys his dusty territory. A tough, battered hide is his armour against the erosive onslaught of sand, whipped into a frenzy by a hot, merciless wind, as he stands strong, defending his domain.

On the first spray of Zoologist Rhinoceros, heady notes of sweet rum and whiskey collide with mellow coffee before the scent settles into its lingering journey. Rich leather, oud and incense are carried in a cloud of smoky red tobacco along a dusty amber path, dotted with hints of patchouli and moss. Rhinoceros is a sophisticated and robust scent that makes a bold, unapologetic statement. Go forth and explore your world. Don’t ask permission."

Zoologist Rhinoceros does not use animal products.

A good whisky is an immersive sensory experience: the tickle in your nose, the spice on your tongue, the smoky afterglow in the long fadeout. Akro founder Anais Cresp first became enamoured with the smell of whisky while working in the pubs and bars of London. She associates it with that ‘tipping point’ in a night—the witching hour when beers become shorts, relaxation edges into hedonism, and night drifts closer to day. Malt is a sweet and smoky scent that brings an air of cosy decadence to any situation.

Cardamom, patchouli, cinnamon, cloves, Mexican chocolate, incense and musk. SweDoft uses the richest and finest ingredients to get the perfect blend. The juice also contains one of the best varieties of natural Indian oud.

Even with this unique collection of ingredients, SweDoft were still not satisfied with the results of traditional blending.

So they decided to do something unusual, while referencing the final part of Rasputin's story. They dropped the container with the perfume juice to the bottom of the Oresund Strait.

After 90 days, the water pressure in the dark, glacial sea produced unique results. The ingredients had flawlessly combined to fuse the formula.

The wild side of the indomitable goat swirling with the learthery darkness of the mountain roads. Mushrooms and truffles conjur the habitat; and the dirty, bestial, almost aggressive side of the creature is felt through goat's milk, costus and oud. An earthy, woody, animalic fragrance denoting strength and virility.
