Hey Doc, glad to hear that you're back in the Lab and we might get something new! Your ideas sound great.
For scents I've always liked smells that remind me of the past. I guess its the comfort factor. I spent a fair amount of time in tobacco barns as a kid and that's a heavenly scent, a horse barn is nice too, and of course coffee. For spices I really like pepper. In China the spice shops are full of a variety of hot peppers that send a sharp but warm scent into the air. Just plain old black pepper smells nice freshly ground. I had a fragrance once that was peppery but don't remember the name. If I recall didn't Pheros have a dose of pepper? I seem to remember a faint sharpness somewhere around the top-to-middle. Old Spice is a bit peppery, but isn't the main scent floral? Carnation?
Jasmine and Gardenia are favorite floral scents, though Gardenia can get a bit heavy and sweet after too much.
Too many commercial scents to name but I've always loved the James Bond aura of the original Chanel Cologne for Men. Classic.
