The Monday Mail ~ help Jennifer find a new perfume

Posted by Robin on 22 October 2012 90 Comments

Boites aux lettres

This week we're helping Jennifer, who wants to find a fragrance that will make her think, that changes over time, and is distinctive but polite in company. She can pay up to $100, and while she doesn't have great local access to perfume stores (just Sephora and Macy's), she's willing to shop online. Here is what we know about Jennifer:

She works part-time for an online bookstore.

She's in her mid-30s and has two young children whose curiosity keeps her pretty busy.

She says she is a quiet, stealth-weirdo. She's also really nice with a tiny dark side, friendly but shy, goofy, introspective, curious, bubbly, articulate, talkative, and creative and with a critical eye.

She adores nature and speaks Japanese and German, and she is learning French.

One of her most interesting scent-experiences was interacting with a former co-worker, who would tell her what people smelled like naturally ("she has a library-like smell" or "She has a dry, campfire smell.")

Jennifer likes earthy, leather, anything on fire (candles, incense, cigarettes, pipe-smoke, bonfire), herbal-y or outdoorsy, bookstore or library stores. Her flip side: rich, feminine florals, spring-time greens. Some favorites include Cartier Declaration, Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man, Estee Lauder Private Collection, Azuree & Knowing, Parfums de Nicolaï Le Temps de Une Fete & Odalisque, Chanel No. 5 and Tauer Perfumes Incense Extreme (and she also likes Comme des Garçons Avignon).

Jennifer dislikes fig perfumes, raspberry-like violets (woody violets are ok), gourmands, vanilla and baking spices. She appreciates Thierry Mugler Angel but won't wear it, disliked Thierry Mugler Womanity, liked but didn't love Lolita Lempicka Le Premier Parfum.

Here are some of the fragrances Jennifer has recently tried:

Chloé Love, Chloé: a recent purchase, and she loves the waxy makeup and violet notes.

Estee Lauder Youth Dew: another recent purchase; she likes that it is spicy but not gourmand spicy.

Marc Jacobs Bang: she remembers liking it when she first smelled it — it seemed like a bright, fresh pepper — but now it seems a little flat.

Elizabeth Taylor Black Diamonds: sounded great, but there's something sweet in there that she didn't like.

What say you?

    Oh, do at least try Patchouli 24. Yes, there’s some vanilla, but to me it’s a smoky library smell. It’s definitely worth a shot!

      I love Patch 24 – it’s weird, unusual and totally addictive. The only reason I didn’t suggest it is because I’m not sure if it qualifies as “polite in company”.

    How about Etro Shaal Nur? It starts off with dry, slightly raspy vetiver and incense and develops over time into a spicier, softer/more plush, scent. Not sure what the retail is in US, but here it’s £64 so pretty close to $100 according to google.

        If you’re sampling from CB I Hate Perfume, check out Fire from Heaven. It’s a incense fragrance that smells absolutely “ancient” to me–that’s the only way I can put it.

        Thirding this! SSS was my suggestion as well. Besides Laurie’s two “smokey” ones, I also suggest Forest Walk.

        Also, for the “rich, feminine floral side” try some of the Guerlains, which are available at department stores. Good luck!

    second Shaal Nur. Got some similar tastes: love Knowing, Azuree, Incense Extreme and nr 5, for example, also proud owner of Love, Chloe. As for violets with leather: how about Jolie Madame de Balmain? My version is about 6 years old, and I really love it. Hope the current incarnation still fits the bill. If you love Azuree, you might want to give Aramis a try. Also developed by Bernard Chant, just as Azuree was, and clearly related to it. Not for the faint-hearted, though…

    Woody violet–Tom Ford Violet Blonde is very nice.
    Incense–Donna Karan Black Cashmere (original if you can find it). Perfect for a crisp fall day walking in the woods.

      You’ve piqued my curiosity in Black Cashmere, although previously I wouldn’t have given it a second thought because I don’t like Cashmere Mist.

        They’re really very different – Black Cashmere is much less “safe”, I don’t think you’ll find it has the same feel as Cashmere Mist at all. I think you should also look into the Comme des Garcons line, especially CDG2, or maybe browse through Robin’s reviews on this site to see if any CDG descriptions catch your fancy – to my mind many in this line have that quality of making you think without bludgeoning those around you.

          It’s unusual for a flanker to be better than the original, but with so many people recommending it, I should give it a try.

          Believe it or not, I once found Dzing! at T.J. Maxx. I was early in my love of perfumery. So I read “The Guide,” and decided that something described as being “vanilla paper,” sounded really boring. I skipped it. And I have cried ever since.

    You might try CDG White, (Under $100.00). It is a Lily of the Valley (for your spring and white flower likes) with a sort of spicy almost incense kick, It is easily available on line, Commes Des Garconnes is actually a Japanese clothing line (another of your interests). The fragrance will be distinctive but the lily of the valley note keeps it from straying beyond the realms of a traditional perfume.

    You might try Diptyque Volutes. It’s a nice spicy scent with tobacco notes. Lubin Idole might also be a good one to try, or L’Artisan Timbuktu. For a violet, try Tom Ford Black Violet. I’m generally anti-violet but this one is good.

    and one of my favourites – terre de l’encens by cloon keen atelier – frankincense & woody iris from a niche perfumery in Ireland.

    Recommendations for Jennifer:

    – Prada Infusion d’Iris Absolue (earthy but bright)
    – I Love Les Carrottes (earthy and weird)
    – Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb
    – SSS Forest Walk
    – Andy Tauer anything with incense (invest in a discovery set – you get to pick 5!)
    – Ineke Field Notes from Paris (or buy the discovery set directly from the website and you can then apply the price you paid for the discovery set towards a FB purchase)
    – Frapin Speakeasy (I have not smelled this but I know I will at some point in the near future)

        I can only go by descriptions from what I’ve read. Lucas from Chemist in a Bottle describes it as smelling of lime, sweet orange and rum in the opening (think mojito) and it also has geranium, tonka bean, tobacco, leather, musk, immortelle.

    One of my favorites is David Yurman (the original, not one of the fruity “essences.”). A small bottle is $75 and it makes a statement. It also packs a wallop so apply sparingly if you want it to be polite. I love it because it changes its mind through the day. At one point it’s as if I’ve stuck my nose into a rose bigger than my head and then the next minute it’s green and then I smell masculine. I don’t think it’s at Macys or Sephora, but Dillard’s, Nordstrom, and other department stores have it.

    btw, with the exception of your children and speaking three foreign languages, reading your profile felt like I was reading about myself. My real name is Jennifer. I was born in 1977. Quiet, friendly, shy, curious, goofy, critical eye…check, check, check…No idea if I naturally smell like a library though.

    I totally agree with the CB I Hate Perfume suggestion. Great selection of woody, smokey goodness. For incense, two great options: Comme des Garcon Avignon ($80) or Cardinal from Heeley. Beautiful church-like incence. For leather, Cuir by Mona di Orio is wonderful. Good luck!

      Yes, I have tried Incense Avignon, and I love it.

    I love a number of the aforementioned fragrances (Cuir de Russie, Aramis, Bvlgari Black) and would like to suggest one more. I think you would like Coze by Parfumerie Generale. If you look up the notes it sounds like a gourmand, but in reality it is more of a warm leather/tobacco/cognac sort of blend. Delicious and comforting and so appropriate as winter approaches. Happy sniffing!

    Like many I’d suggest In the Library, but also perhaps Etat Libre d’Orange’s Like This.

    I’m curious to try more Etat fragrances in general, but one thing I don’t get is how they’re fairly inexpensive, and yet their samples on TPC are disproportionately pricier. Or maybe my math is wrong.
