Wednesday scent of the day 6/4

Posted by Robin on 4 June 2014 168 Comments

I Love Les Carottes by Honoré des Prés, outer packaging

Welcome to Wednesday! Please share your scent of the day. I'm wearing Olivia Giacobetti's I Love Les Carottes by Honoré des Prés.

Have a great idea for a theme for a Friday community scent of the day? Do tell! (I won't have time today to comment on every idea, but promise that over the next week I'll copy all your ideas into Evernote, my version of a working memory.)

Reminder: this Friday, June 6, let's all try to wear something by Chanel. The following week will be Friday the 13th — wear your own version of 'Eau de Protection', i.e. something that brings you good luck or otherwise makes you feel safe and happy.

    Suggestions–wear something you haven’t worn in a while, wear something new, wear something discontinued

    Currently sampling Yin & Ylang since I’ll be starting in acupuncture clinic today. Have to wash it off before I start treating in a few hours but being fragrance free is a small price for getting closer to the dream

    Good Morning NST family! SOTD – Ralph Lauren’s Romance. I found a sample of this and decided I would wear it. I used to wear it a long time ago, and I forgot how nice and simple this fragrance is. I think it is nice for this time of the year. Hope everyone has a “Wonderful Wednesday”!

        In the May “Allure” magazine, there was an advertisement for it with a tester page. It seems nice because it has pink peony (one of my favorite notes) and black vanilla. I would need to get a sample to see how well it would work on me. But, my first impression was that I thought it was quite pleasant.

        I like Romance too, Midnight I didn’t care for though, too sweet from what I remember. Nothing midnight about it.

    I’m wearing Rodin Bis from a sample that was included with an online order. I’m getting a sort of powdery tobacco and jasmine… so far I like it a lot.

    These scent of the day polls are making me a little self-conscious—I’m trying not to fall back on the same few easy things every day, so they’re encouraging me to delve into the samples!

      Janice, I totally agree with you. I felt like I was posting the same scents all the time and there was no variety in my collection. The polls are giving me the opportunity to try out the hundreds of samples I have accumulated over the years. I have to admit, I am enjoying it so much. It is soooo much fun!

      Gosh, do “delve” if it’s fun, but see no need for anyone to be self-conscious. I don’t think this is a hugely judgmental group, plus, many of can’t remember what every single person is wearing from day to day! And I do often wear the same thing for days, or sometimes, nothing for days.

      Me too. I have had some of these samples forever and never fully tested them. I am still wearing my favorites but mixing it up more than usual and I’ve even organized my samples and decided to order full bottles of things I keep reaching for (which I hadn’t previously realized I wore so often).

      I got a bottle of I love les Carottes for less than half retail… I need to wear this more often and seeing you wear it inspires me to do so… maybe as my SOTE.

      One good thing about these SOTD polls is that I am inspired to look thru my samples/decants/bottles when I see what others are wearing and saying about their chosen scent. I want to spritz to see if I have the same experience!

    SOTD is AG Eau du Sud. Does anyone else get anise from this? Fragrantica doesn’t list it, but as it first goes on I get a blast of licorice.

      I’m not sure about anise. The last time I tested this I thought it smelled like Goutal’s take on Chanel’s Cristalle. It’s something I’ve often thought of buying. It’s such a bummer about the Goutal change in bottles, and the distribution issues (again).

    I’m wearing Parfums DelRae Wit from a brand new sample. It is so, so beautiful, I can hardly even cope with it.

    Per yesterday, perhaps we could all wear our “perfumista’s nightmare” favorites? I bet lots of us have a little secret one like that. I’d also suggest a layering day and a day where we wear something in a different season or occasion than usual, and definitely second thegoddessrena’s suggestions of something new and something we haven’t worn in a while.

    SOTD is Sa Majeste La Rose (again …)

    I am really enjoying the Friday themes. Some ideas:
    Favorite novel and perfume that fits the novel/character
    A perfume you wear to escape
    A perfume that you find difficult (either in note or composition)
    A scent for your alter ego

    I like other suggestions of wearing a brand new scent and “perfumista’s nightmare”

    SOTD is Tokyo Milk French Kiss. It’s a nice bright, simple citrus-tuberose scent. I didn’t sleep much last night, so some pep in a bottle is good.

    So you know how I said yesterday that I didn’t have any Chanel? Well that became not true yesterday evening. I stopped by Sephora after work, and in a moment of “Why did I never buy this???” I bought a 35ml bottle of Coco EDP (regular Coco). So I know what I’m going to be wearing Friday. :D I also tried on No.5 Eau Premiere, but it didn’t do much for me.

    As for coordinated SOTD ideas.. since this week is Chanel day, maybe we could have a Guerlain day?

      I also had an idea that I mentioned in the weekend thread, related to the topic: “exception perfumes”. If you have a scent that you like but that contains a note you normally don’t.

      Sweetgrass – congrats on the Coco! Coco was my first major love and was my only fragrance for a long while. It is so gorgeous. I will wear Coco in the summer from time to time – sometimes warm weather and orientals just go together. My trick for putting it on: I spray a puddle on the back of my wrist and then just dab around from it. It definitely needs a controlled application. Enjoy!

        This is one that I could see wearing in the summer from time to time. It doesn’t really wear too heavily. I found that Chergui is nice in the summer too, and that one surprised me. I really thought the heat would make it overwhelming, but it didn’t.

    I’m wearing Tauer parfums Une Rose Vermeille from a sample! It’s nice, though very sweet and there’s a lot of raspberry in it! I associate rose scents with my mother so I can’t really see myself wearing any of them even though I love rose scents. I still have Rose Chyprée and Rose Cut samples to try, maybe one of them will be the one!

    I’m wearing Cartier So Pretty. Had one of those sudden “nothing else will do” cravings.

    SOTD suggestions: A scent that you didn’t like the first time you tried it, give it another go. A scent in a style or with a note that you’re trying to get more comfortable with.

      So Pretty is one of my favorite roses. I used to wear it a lot more than I do now. I’ll have to bust out my bottle. See this poll is making me crave my neglected frags. That’s a good thing!

    Dior New Look 1947 on the backs of my hands. I love it but it’s fading so I’m going to switch to Grand Neroli for the remainder of the day.

    I love the community SOTDs! What fun. Here are a couple of ideas:

    In July or August–in the heat of summer n. hemisphere–wear something you ONLY wear in the dead of winter. Vice versa if you’re in the s hemisphere.
    Pick a note that you don’t like. Rummage through your samples. Commit to wearing a perfume that features that note prominently for an entire day.

    Love it! Lime, coconut wood – has this Middle-Eastern-rice-steam vibe to it. The base is VERY high quality, almost attar-like. Highly recommended. I got a sample from the company directly, as a gift.

      It’s hard to figure out how to scent for work — I want to be appropriate but also have something that really improves my day. I’ve been letting my sillage grow over the past few months, and I haven’t heard anything except a couple compliments, so hopefully it’s okay that I accidentally spilled more of my sample vial than I meant to this morning! Excuse my beauty, coworkers.

    Wearing Encens Mythique d’Orient, and reminding myself that without a job I couldn’t’ve bought any Encens Mythique d’Orient.

    I like the idea of a Friday to wear a discontinued perfume, as I know I’m in danger of hoarding but not wearing. Also like Fruity Friday, as it reminds me of Freaky Friday.

    SOTD was Bvlgari Jasmin Noir- shower gel, lotion and perfume. First time I sniffed this in-store I hated it, it has a plasticy chemical note upfront. Then I was watching Katie Puckrik reviews and her positive review inspired me to re-try. Glad I did it’s really quite lovely- soft floral woods.
    And I like all suggestions so far! :) adding mainstream Friday/ niche friday/ rabbithole Friday (the turning point perfume)/ opposite sex Friday/ out of comfort zone Friday

      and bed-time scent is Ted Lapidus Silk Way, purchased after reading Non-Blonde review. It was $18 for 100ml and smells like it could be 10x that.
      Another suggestion- cheap thrill Friday :)

      SOTD is Chergui. I always forget that I hate the top and middle of this scent, but I adore the spiced vanilla honey dry down. Fortunately, I’m now at the dry down.

      My poll idea: what perfumes have you bought/worn hoping to generate a love connection (Vanilla Fields in 7th grade comes to mind…)? Then, of course, was it a success or did your intended beloved break out some scent-related rash?

          Actually, that would be an interesting SOTD: wear something that you partially love for a particular note or accord but that you don’t necessarily appreciate throughout the entire progression.

        Similar poll idea: wear a fragrance that you don’t necessarily love, but one of your loved-ones adores on you. One of my favourites (Eau de Merveilles) really grew on me after I wore it a few times, even though I wasn’t sure about it, because my other half loved it so much (and who am I to deny him the pleasure to sniff my neck, right?) :)

    I like a lot of the suggestions so far. I’ll add: wearing a fragrance that isn’t talked about much in perfume circles, wearing a fragrance you bought blind (and were you happy with it), wearing a fragrance that reminds you of a certain person/place/memory.

    SOTD Caléche by Hermés. I love this scent so much. It’s a 15 ml travel spray and on the bottom it say it’s an Eau de Parfum…and I’m a little confused by that. From what I have read there is an edt, soin de parfum and parfum, but no edp? Or is it, that the edp is only in the 15 ml travel spray?

    Anyway, it’s a gorgeous golden scent and it does reminds me of No5, which I adore, but cannot wear. I know many will think Caléche as a fall/winter scent..but sometime, I do like a little “ompf” in the heat ;)

    How about a Friday theme: wear something that you’ve warmed to but didn’t initially like and also: something hoarded away, which could be a pleasant discovery.

    I’m wearing No 5 eau Premier b/c I have a meeting today and wanted to feel all together, although originally in the shower I was craving Goutal’s Heure Exquise. Not a meeting fragrance.

    My idea for a poll/SOTD is a blind grab into a pile of neglected samples. Whatever you grab, you have to wear. We’d get a slew of SOTDs if we all did that!

      Blind grab is such a fun idea, especially if one is feeling adventurous and mixes the “hated” vials in with the “acceptable” or “beloved” lots. A scented gamble!

    SOTD is La Fille de Berlin. Love this rose, and it’s probably as close as I’ll go to a soliflore. Love many of the suggestions for a poll – the scent a novel’s character poll, the grab-bag pick poll, the cheap-thrills poll, and especially the neglected sample poll. I’ve been holding off on buying new samples until a make a great big dent on the collection I already own. So far I’ve managed to use up 50+ samples, and have come to appreciate many scents I’d initially dismissed.

      So do you often find that by repeatedly trying a scent you end up liking it? In that case it may be that one should decide what kind of scents one theoretically wants to like and then just keep hammering at it until one actually does!

        I haven’t had this work with anything I’ve really disliked. For example, that uber-cumin scent from L’Artisan – I think it’s Al Oud or something like that? – repeated trials of that did no good. And I usually don’t mind cumin, but not at that dosage apparently. But you never know – my tastes have changed a lot over the years!

    I love I Love les Carottes! — It was a blind buy following Robin’s review. Even though there is some vanilla listed in there, it is so well done that I don’t mind it at all. Today I am then wearing Love Coconut. This is my third sample and I am trying to convince myself that I don’t need a FB … but the question is only for how long will I be able to resist … When is Donatella scheduled for?

        As others have remarked, these SOTD polls are very useful — wearing Love Coco today made me realize that I actually do not need a FB of it. So, if nothing new appears as terribly urgent, I have now only one strong contender to tame until July 1st!

    SOTD is Infanta en Fleur – one of my favorite orange blossoms. A bit soapy, but I tend to like that. It layered nicely with the remnants of yesterday’s FATE lingering on my cardigan cuffs. (Yes, I wore the same sweater, but I only wore it for an hour yesterday!)

    I get so many ideas from reading these SOTD and my “try” list keeps growing. Sigh. Not enough time, money or skin to wear them all.

    I love all the SOTD theme ideas – here’s a few more:

    Samples Day
    New Bottle Day (wear your latest FB)
    Top Five Week (a M-F poll)
    Blind Buy Winners
    Scents I Thought I’d hate, but don’t
    Learned Loves (scents we hated once but now love)
    Morning, Noon, and Night: scent transitions
    Black like my soul (dark scents)
    Pink Juice
    Fruity Favorites
    Angel Scents (light scents)

    …I’d better stop now…

    Flaunt It Friday: Wear a perfume that you would usually consider inappropriate for work (or school or what-have-you.)
    Foot Down Friday Forum: Do you draw a line when it comes to what you’ll buy due to price, availability, use of particular ingredients, aesthetics of the brand and the like.
    Frugal Friday: Cheap thrills, shopping tips
    Perfume Fairy Friday: Name a fragrance you’d love to try but have been unable to for whatever reason and see what we can come up with.

    I liked those three HdP NYC love Scents, although I contented myself with decants. As someone said yesterday, it’s a great benefit of these polls that they remind me of perfumes I need to get out and wear.

    I’m testing the discontinued Dolce & Gabbana Sicily because of a recent post on Perfume Shrine. LT really panned it, and it doesn’t begin to live up to that dramatically sexy Monica Bellucci ad image, but the truth is, seven years on, it smells so much better than most of the new releases I’ve tried. Once the lemon fades, it reminds me a bit of one of my inexplicable favs, SNM Melograno.

      Sicily was one of those that I’d wished I’d bought when it was still everywhere, then a few weeks ago I found a new bottle-cheap! I dont think it’s remotely as bad as LT writes. I’m not a huuuge aldehyde fan but there’s something about this that works. (and I’ve seen lots of really positive comments out there too) :)

    Hello!

    I had an acupuncture appointment earlier today so I’m just getting around to applying a SOTD. I am feeling a little too pleasantly sleepy after my appointment and have to do some errands, so I tried wearing some of my Hermessence Osmanthe Yunnan sample in hopes that the citrus would wake me up a bit, but it seems to be fading awfully fast on me…and by fast I mean I put it on ten minutes ago and can hardly smell anything at this point. I may need to try something else.

    I love all the suggestions for future themed SOTDs…my suggestions have already been mentioned so I’ll just cast a second vote for: 1. Perfumes you hated and then grew to love, and 2. Layering (I’m fascinated by the idea of layering but am really intimidated by it so I would love to hear what’s worked for other folks).

      Nancyg, I don’t have any Chanel fragrances either. I have gone through my box of samples over and over again and have not spotted one. I used to have a bottle of Coco Chanel, but I must have used it all and through the bottle out. I will probably either try to get a sample from the mall or state what Chanel I would wear if I had it. Then I will state the actual fragrance I chose to wear that day. So, you’re not alone.

    Today was (another) Eau des Merveilles day. It may be the closest thing I have to a signature (wear it maybe once a week) because I had an important client meeting today. It always makes me feel smart.

    An idea for co-ordinated scent of the day would be similar to what others have already suggested, but to wear something that you adore and hoard but rarely wear because you are afraid to use it up!

    A few more Community SOTD suggestions:

    Fantasy Vacation Friday – pick a destination and wear the scent that takes you there

    Flirty Friday – could have been mentioned above already but I like the alliteration…what makes you feel sexy

    Foodie Friday – wear your favorite gourmand perfume or pair a perfume with food and/or wine

    Winning the Lottery Perfume – what you’re wearing when you find out you just won the lottery

    Scent a Perfumer Friday – pick a perfumer and scent him / her

    I really like the other suggestions, especially Vintage Friday, Discontinued Fragrance Friday, Sample Grab Bag Friday (although I will admit to having to cheat by picking 5+ “safe” samples and then randomly pick one…once I spray, there is no turning back as I would be getting ready to go to work), Brand X Friday.

    Advance positive reinforcement needed today prior to spending part of the day with a very difficult person, so I deviated from my usual in-harmony-with-nature theme (it was chilly and rainy here) and opted instead for some California sunshine with Pacifica’s Malibu Lemon Blossom perfume. Bright, crisp lemon; a dash of salt; and a bit of creamy floral painted a picture of carefree cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway 1 in a Mustang convertible, sun on my back and warm ocean breezes in my hair. It worked, kept me calm and steady all day – and a mango margarita at lunch probably helped, too!

    Great ideas for the community SOTD! All worth considering, so, Robin, perhaps you can make it easy for yourself by giving each person who suggested a theme an opportunity to take a Friday turn in the order they posted.

    You lovely, fabulous-smelling people.

    I’m delurking because I can’t help myself anymore – I want to play. And you’re all just so nice. I wanna be smelly, smelly friends.

    I have been “into” perfume for years. But I was a poor, struggling, newly-minted New Yorker for a while and just couldn’t bring myself to spend the way I wanted to (grad school loans, fear of poverty, what not). I always read this blog off and on, and I would wander into Aedes in the West Village at every opportunity, but I was holding myself back, obsession-wise.

    But in the past few months, I’ve just let it go. And it’s been pricey, but glorious. I started with a bottle of Chergui. And then I bought Gris Clair. And then Tam Dao. Then a pile of samples from the Perfumed Court and now, satisfying a four year long perfume crush, I have been united with one sweet, sweet bottle of Bois d’Iris by Van Cleef and Arpels. It’s a beautiful thing.

    I know I’m making the newbie mistake of buying too many full bottles, and I should know better after having hung around for so long. But right now, I just don’t care. It makes me *happy*.

    It also so pleasing to read through everyone else’s scented experiences every day. These daily polls are lovely and helped me decide to come out and play. Thanks for making this such a cozy place to visit.

    Tonight, I broke out a previously untested sample – Amouage’s Memoir. It’s big and complicated and my as-of-yet unrefined nose can’t give you a list of notes, but for now, it’s enough that it’s pretty.

    Thanks Robin, and thanks everyone. Y’all are terrific.

    Yay.

        Thank you so much! What a lovely greeting. That seems par for the course here. How many places on the internet are there where people are this nice and encouraging?

        I have no good excuse for waiting so long, really. I was being overly cautious about money for a while, and I would go around sniffing (New York is fantastic for that), but almost never purchase.

        And now – no more denying myself. I’m spraying in the morning, dabbing samples in the afternoon, and reading at night with something new on my wrist. It just makes life better, richer.

        And yes, I can’t wait to learn more.

        Thanks again for the warm welcome!

      Just so you know, it’s been years since this perfume bender began for me, and I still buy fb’s. I buy samples and decants too, but there’s nothing like having a beautiful perfume in the gorgeous bottle it’s meant to be in. I think it makes it just that little bit more appealing :)

        You are so sweet – thank you!

        And I’m glad to know I’m not alone in my full bottle purchases. Holding a simple, elegant bottle of something delicious fills me with joy. I’m treating the Bois d’Iris like it’s my precious. And I can say this without shame here because I know you understand! Aaaah – the comfort of the safe space, surrounded by fellow addicts. Happy sigh.

        Again – thank you!

      It moved me to read your comment, because I’m currently in a position similar as what you were in: I’m finishing up my master’s thesis and I’m looking for a job. I’ve been into perfume for almost 2 years now, and I’ve only bought 3 (small but full) bottles and try to make it a point to be reasonable, partly because of my budget (what if I don’t find a job for multiple months?) and also because of my tiny apartment. What fuels my interest though is the generosity of this amazing community, with the swapping and sometimes plain old gifts!
      But I can’t wait to unleash the dragon! ;)

        Good for you on the Master’s thesis!

        And God, do I sympathize. Your priorities are obviously straight, and good for you for having such excellent self-control. When the time does come when you can allow yourself bigger purchases, they’ll probably be that much sweeter.

        But yes, this community is pretty remarkable in its generosity and kindness. You can’t help but want to join in, enjoy the warmth, get to know everyone and surround yourself with scented goodness.

        When the time *does* come, what do you think your first big splurgy purchase will be? Part of me thought I’d never get Bois d’Iris because of the price, but saving money by not buying lunch for a while helped me feel like it was ok. Maybe it wasn’t, but too late now! *huffs wrist*

          Thanks!

          To be honest, I can’t conceive in my mind paying more than 200$ right now on a scent. I think if I were to let go of my restrictions, it wouldn’t necessarily to purchase one (or a few) very expensive fragrances, but more not to worry about it as much if I want to buy a full bottle. I would probably get several more ”reasonably” priced bottles (that’s always a relative concept, isn’t it?), like from Atelier Cologne, Diptyque and Annick Goutal. Oh, and Guerlain and Hermès (you see, it can quickly get out of hands even with ”standard priced” perfumes!) Maybe I say that partly because I haven’t fallen in love with an expensive fragrance just yet (that may change, I just got a few Malle’s samples). I just feel like right now before I buy a full bottle I need to be *completely* sure I love the scent (used up a sample and still want more).

          I think if you love Bois d’Iris, it makes you happy and you thought about it before buying it, then it’s worth every penny and I say enjoy it ’til the last drop! :-)

            Just to clarify: I can’t imagine paying that much *myself*, not that someone would (and does): that I have no problem imagining, and would love to do it myself!

    Yeah…I couldn’t conceive of it either, and honestly, I don’t think I’ll be able to do it again. At least not for a while. Technically, it was only a dollar and change over $200 so….maybe not too extravagant? Ha! Who am I kidding? It was. But it was a very, very long-term scent crush, and I promise to relish every drop.

    No matter what, I can’t wait to hear about your next purchases, expensive, cheap or in between. And the completion of your thesis!

    Thanks for your notes!
