I have. I'm very happy with the scents of his that I own.
Specifically, those scents are:
Tea/Rose Absolute - Black tea & roses. I posted a review of this frag in the "Reviews" section.
M#3 November - shades of pumpkin pie. Looking forward to wearing it this Fall!
Cedarwood Tea Absolute - Just the way it sounds.
Russian Caravan Tea Absolute - Black tea. Subtle, nice.
You can buy 2ml "travel sizes" of all his frags from his website. While they're not cheap, they don't break the bank either. And the absolutes are oil-based. They last a LONG time (apply sparingly!).
HTH!

I have all of these in front of me right now. I ordered small trial versions from "The Perfumed Court." These are all very unique and nothing even remotely commercially available. I suggest trying some samples before investing in these.
Fire & Heaven = lightly smoky, slightly floral...a little sawdust and maybe some incense. Little staying power on me.
Black March = Many "green" notes, damp moss and wood tones - dirt. I would like a full size of this.
Greenbriar 1968 = A lot of dirt scent to it...dry down losses some of it. I had higher hopes for this one but it gives me a headache.
Cedarwood Tea = Like walking in a lumber yard. Reminds me of when my Grandpa worked at Bliffert Lumber Yard.
M3 November = maybe too sweet for me - Smash a pumpkin and roll it in some leaves & warm spices. Smells kinda like pumpkin bread to me.

Edit - To reiterate what Evan commented, these are very strong. I tip the vial with my finger on top and rub a bit on each side of my neck. Other than the first one I listed, they all lasted a good 6-8 hours. Black March lasted even longer.

I have not tried any of these scents, but I really like what is said on the web site. In fact, I would say that I have been highly influenced by this perfumer just from what he has written there. great stuff
Very good stuff. He uses a water base for his scents rather than alcohol so you don't get the huge alcohol blast and then a rapid evolution within the first few minutes of the scent. What you smell in the first few seconds is pretty much what the scent will be like throughout the day.
Actually, he makes each of his scents in both water- and oil-based configurations. The water-based scents are cheaper but don't last anywhere near as long as the oil-based ones do. And yes, it depends on the scent but they LAST. (At least, they do on me!)
Sounds interesting; where might one find these scents?
