I love heavily scented snuff like F&T Patchouli and Dholakia Ganga. As I have only been snuffing for about 6 months I want to try a few more heavy scented ones. Any recommendations gratefully received.
Samuel Gawith : Otterhound Strong perfume .
SG Lavender Dark, F&T French Carotte
F&T Macouba and Seville.
F&T bureau is a mix of 6 different snuffs of theirs
Anything by F&T, excepting their High Dry Toast.
I’d second the anything by F&T, and add WoS Jockey Club and Rose of Sharrow.
Let’s not forget WoS Royal George if you haven’t already tried it. Although its more dessert than floral.
WoS Strasbourg
I would suggest that you try the entire gambit of snuffs made in India – especially Dholakia and 6 Photo.
I haven’t been able to obtain any 5 Photo, but I imagine that they also make classical scented Indian snuffs.
Ok thanks a bunch for all your suggestions I have got F&T Princes Special but wasn’t particularly struck by it, preferring their Patchouli. However thanks to you guys I now have a long list of recommended ones to try. Think that will keep me busy for a while.
I’ll second the Indians, especially if you like florals. They are perfumed bombs, sometimes w/very delicate menthol, it works really well.
A plus, if you fall in love, Indian snuffs are a bit more affortable.
I will also second the suggestion of Fribourg & Treyer snuffs.
Try Bordeaux and Morocco.
Elmo’s Reserve…not floral but the scent will stay with you.
Berwick Brown is fairly long lasting also
So… I am trying… Rose of Sharrow - yes, definitely a favourite of mine WoS Jockey Club - Wow, came through the post today, and I cannot get enough of it Dholakia - Khamal - nice Dholakia - Ganga - LOVE it Gawith Hoggarth - English Rose - just arrived today, seems very nice Mmmm all is good today :-). Keep the suggestions coming…I am all ears.
It may be more in the medium too heavy range, but Sam Gawith’s Kendal Brown Original is imo wonderful and nearly a must for a “well travelled snuff-person”. It seems to be considered one of the classic snuffs.
Also many people like me really like the Fribourg & Treyer Santo Domingo, especially if one finds some of thier other offerings to be too heady. I’d say the scenting is rather deep and earthy-rich but elegant.
Must try some more of the Fribourg & Treyer range, I love the Patchouli. I recently ordered Princes Special but can’t seem to get on with it. Very earthy and delicate fragrance to me, and very crumbly. But then I am only a beginner, started snuffing about 6-7 months ago. I got Wilsons Sandalwood thinking it would be as strong, thinking it may smell like the essential oil Sandalwood, but I can hardly detect anything. As I say it may well be my newbie nose. Today I am on Dholakia Ganga & Kamal, and have also got Wilsons Jockey Club in my handbag. I am writing a list down of all these suggestions. Thanks guys.
It’s not exactly heavy scented but does have a wonderful fruity floral scent. McChrystals Stammheimer Hopfen Schnupf. Ganga and Kamal are both my favorite at the moment.
I’m quite fond of Wilsons’ florals (Wallflower, Carnation, Strasbourg) but I despise Samuel Gawith’s florals (some have the same names). Gawith Hoggarth has a few that are nice and unique (Western Glory, Lakeland, Mitchells, their Wallflower and Carnation are not bad, but not as good as WoS). Toque has a few that are very pungent (Violet). And of course the kings are F&T: Bordeaux, Morocco, Macouba, Morlaix, Seville, French Carotte.
