Fragrance of the Day Thread

[Confection10]

This week seems to go with Trussardi My Name...

Redwood, if You are going Guerlain corner, please, try L'instant too. I have both Insolence and L'instant. Insolence is more powerful and often too much even for me, who loves strong and "weird" scents. L'instant is more calm and delicate sweet goddess

Arcadian and confection thank you so much for your suggestions. I will try to see about those. My town is so small that we don't have large perfume counters for testing. I did get quite a few samples with my order and a free gift with a ton of samples. I get quite a headache testing in a store even if they have beans.

Good catch. Perceptions vary to different people at times. for me Insolance is "soft"...

Today I'm wearing Cerruti 1881 Blanche.

I often find EDP's different and gravitate to them. But yes I was talking about the edp in my initial post. But I think it depends on whats wanted. I haven't tried the EDT, but we're going out tonight so I will give it a try if I see it!

Cerruti kinda lasts forever which means a shower is in store before venturing out.

Simple and clean today. Derek Lam Silent St. White Musks and florals.

 

[Arcadian]

@ckrickett, I went the total opposite today of you and pulled out Kiehl's original Musk and layered with an amber oil I got from a very lovely perfumista. This one hits the spot without killing anyone else around me. Still, it does clean up after a while and the edt is much more floral than the oil (the oil is major skank though )

Chilly Friday insist lush Dior Poison . Just perfect!

 

[redwood66]

I was cleaning out some stuff under the sink and way in the back I found an almost full bottle of eau de parfum Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise. It is lovely and I remember that I didn't like it very much, which is why it was probably at the back of the cabinet. The integrity of the scent is still intact. Our tastes do change as we age.

I usually don;t reach for musks but this one just entranced me! I love the idea of musk and amber too!!!

Aerin Evening Rose today.

I Love the mix of incense, rose and blackberry. Starts off sweet and gets very spicy!

Lately I've been reaching for my little EDP bottle of YSL's Black Opium... from the notes [Coffee Accord, Orange Blossom, Cedarwood Essence, Patchouli Essense] I wouldn't have thought it'd work for me, but I really love it; not too heavy for warmer days, and not too light for cooler days.

I adore Black Opium!!! Its so delicious smelling

Armani Prive Eau De Jade

also the bottle is so gorgeous!

 

[Confection10]

This Monday goes with Paloma Picasso. One of my favourite chypres.

 

[Arcadian]

Today its Serge Lutens Sa Majeste la Rose. I absolutely love this one. Some compare it to Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose but I find them to be miles a part. This rose is slightly salty a tinsy bit sour, and as it unfurls its petals, gracefully beautiful. PWTR is like a sledgehammer in comparison.

Warm and spicy Caron Parfum Sacre makes me drool today

Such a brilliant perfume.

Warm and spicy Caron Parfum Sacre makes me drool today

Such a brilliant perfume.

Yeah. As well as Narcisse Noir, Bellodgia and Nuit de Noel. All of them are somehow in same line.
Sweet, but calming. I would like to try Tabac Blond, because describtions of it sounds perfect
to me. But it seems to be hard to find.

Whatever you do, don't go down the vintage rabbit hole.... Ive been there way too many times..still there in fact. This is probably one of the few times I wish I was still near the Caron Boutique. TB is still in the URNS, its still gorgeous from the urns though its different from the vintage versions(but of course!!) Luckyscent used to carry Caron but am unsure anymore.

Today I'm wearing Germaine Monteil Royal Secret It's the vintage, which is mind blowing, I love it. A dab will do you because its so [blow your hair back] loud. Thankfully mine is the bath oil not the concentree which I've heard is much louder

 

[Confection10]

You are funny, Arcadian ...rabbit hole...I have been there since I found PS four years ago...parfums are piece of cake vs. all temptations I see everyday on Show me the bling... ...You made me very curious of Royal Secret. And what I just read it sound fabulous. I have vintage Estee Lauder Youth Dew bath oil and I found it much softer than eau de parfum...

Then you understand The Cult of Caron Like for instance, A lovely fragrance lover sent me a decant of both vintage and the last current formulation of Poivre. Oh my.... The vintage stuff is just unbeatable. The current is a shadow of its former self. I'm not sure if its even in production anymore (it wouldn't be here but could be in Paris) I always tell people if you like the current stuff, save yourself the heartache and don't look for vintage, just don't.

I have since changed for the day and pulled out Gucci II. Not sure what they've done to the stuff that's currently out there but my bottle is well over 10 years old. I'm going to hate when its gone.

 

[Confection10]

Today violets with weird kick; Caron Aimez Moi

 

[Arcadian]

Today is Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Sur la Route du Mexique. A darker mix than Madagascar (more smokey, less citrus), and suitable for the "fall like weather" we're having here... (its south florida, its not exactly chilly)

 

[Confection10]

Arcadian, that Shalimar flanker sounds delicious. Too bad, not any chance to try where I live .

Chilly, windy Friday with Creed Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie

 

[ckrickett]

New one today. Givenchy Ambre Tigre

 

[Confection10]

Estee Lauder Azuree. Yummy

 

[Arcadian]

Today I'm wearing Aramis Calligraphy Rose.
