Thursday scent of the day 6/26

Posted by Robin on 26 June 2014 96 Comments

mango

We're almost to Friday. What fragrance are you wearing today?

I am wearing Parfums de Nicolaï Eau Exotique. Like yesterday's Parfums de Nicolaï Balkis Light, it's been discontinued. It's a longtime summer favorite of mine, so I've been rationing what I have left of it. 

Reminder: tomorrow will be Forgotten Friends Day — wear something you haven't worn in ages, or that you tend to forget that you own, or the like.

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2014, where I'll try to always have the next six or seven weeks mapped out in advance.

    My sample of Jubilation 25 – the “women’s” scent I believe. Already have received a few compliments.

    Robin, I think remember you saying you liked the men’s version of this – is it similar?

      I actually like the men’s much better…I respect the women’s but didn’t really want to own it. Would gladly take a bottle of the men’s. I don’t really think they’re all that similar.

        Thanks! Interesting that a house like this makes the male/female scent distinction. Putting trying all of the men’s stuff on the perfume agenda.

      Jubilation XXV reminds me more of Amouage Homage Attar.

        Another one I have to try. But in the same way I avoided a certain amount of perfume for a while for fear of spending too much, that one makes my wallet cower in fear and I’m afraid to fall in love.

          This is relatively a good time to fall in love with Amouage, as some of them have been showing up on discount sites (no affiliation) recently. OTOH, they are not inexpensive even with a healthy discount. I just have a couple of decants of Jubilation XXV. It’s not something I could wear every day, anyway – as if there is anything I would wear every day, lol.

            Hi Nozknoz – any hints about which sites?

          • nozknoz says:
            26 June 2014 at 8:37 pm

            anngd, I bought Beloved from FrangranceNet back in December. (Someone mentioned on one of the lazy weekend polls that they had just found it there.) I found Gold on Amazon about a year ago. (FYI, BeautyEncounter, which I like, is also an Amazon associated seller.) I have no affiliation with any of these. They were at least a third off, so still over $200.

            In general, if I am looking for something, I do a google search, search Amazon, and also search ebay. I check all three to see if I can find a price that matches my level of interest. I’ve found some of my more expensive perfumes on ebay as testers, or lightly used bottles sold by an individual downsizing a collection, etc. It probably doesn’t hurt to search directly on discounter sites that you trust, either. Sometimes the google searches seem less deep than other times.

            FYI, I waited years for good prices on Amouage. Primary sellers must be rotating stock now or something (maybe something to do with upcoming changes in packaging or IFRA regulations???). I notice that Beloved shows up as sold out on Bergdorf Goodman (for whom it was created). I think it was around $400 originally, but not certain.

            Again, I have no affiliation with any potential sources!

            Splits are perhaps the best way to build a collection, but I live in the DC area where post offices are especially cautious, and I have not had time to devote to it so far.

    Good Morning All! My SOTD is Le Labo Neroli 36 Perfume Oil. It was one of the samples I got from Lucky Scent. I wanted to try it because I never owned a perfume oil and I wanted to see how it compared to regular perfume. It is nice, but nothing I’m crazy over. I will stick with my perfume. Not FB worthy to me. Have a good day everyone! :)

    I’m wearing a dab of Amouage Journey Man on one wrist and Woman on the other. I try to sample both versions when they release a new one, but the only one I recall where I really liked the men’s better was Jubilation.

    I’m testing Jacomo Chicane EdT. There is a multivitamin pill smell that I dislike initially, which might be due to age, but it smells good later on (though not nearly as interesting as the contemporaneous Jacomo masculine, Eau Cendrée). It reminds me somewhat of Amouage Gold.

      Eeeww! That reminds me of the taste of those multi-vitamin horse pills (big as a horse or big enough for a horse) my mom bought from the health food store when I was a kid. Now that I think about it, those pills looked like hay that had been finely chopped, compressed, and shellacked, so there is another horse reference!

    Wearing Amouage Journey (W) today and loving it! Tea scents generally don’t work for me (too smoky) so I’m happy to have found this one. I’m sure a bottle is in my future.

    Jealous of your Eau Exotique! I’ve long since drained what I had and am hoarding Eau Turquoise which is similar. I love this one best during the hottest part of summer. L’Eau a la folie is also similar… but not quite the same. Still hoping for a re-release!

    Heatwave today – it’s around 100 degrees. That means it was Silences day! If I had a signature, that would be it. The thing is, in the office it’s much cooler, which is good obviously, but it kills any light fragrance.

        Neither of the usual places (Surrender to Chance and Perfumed Court) has it, unfortunately, and it’s been discontinued for quite a while, of course. It’s not absolutely dissimilar to the easily available Vanille Abricot, although Vanille Peach is much fresher and fruitier (VA is more like dried fruit and caramelized sugar).

        I was surprised to find on the French CSP website that a LOT of their older scents are still available: Vanille Mokha, Vanille Banane, Vanille Cannelle, and Vanille Pitahaya, to name just a few.

      So bizarre! When I was searching for the scent I will wear tomorrow I came across a box of CSP that I had purchased 4-5 years ago at Marshall’s ($9.99 for 50ml) that I didn’t even know I had, and of course it is……………..Vanille Peach. LOL – it is strange how they named it with the French Vanille and English Peach. Will wear it sometime next week.

    It’s Thursday, so it’s ‘dig around in the untried sample box’ day. Inadvertently (as in, the vial opened onto my hand while I was digging through the box) i’m wearing Parfum d’Empire’s “Ayizade”. Wow! BO (Cumin) and cinnamon/ginger. Fabulous! Twenty years ago this would have sent me running for the soap and water. But with my now oh-so-much-more-sophisticated perfumista tastes, this is pretty great.

      This is so true. I can remember the first time I encountered Serge Lutens perfumes, in 2001. I think I sniffed Arabie and A la Nuit (not certain), and was repelled by how strong they were. Now, A la Nuit is one of my favs. :-)

    Hi perfumista friends!
    I’m wearing Bottega Venetta today and I’m fascinated at how uniquely different this smells from the last time I wore it all because I’ve been wearing Cuir de Lancome so much lately.

    BV is a sweet scent! I totally smell the floral whereas before it was very leathery/patchouli to my nose. Cuir is such a different leather that its brought out the Jasmine in BV to me.

    Still love it anyway!

      As a newbie I am continually amazed at how different I can interpret a fragrance the next time around. I think the more I sample the more I understand different facets of a fragrance. When I first tried BV I felt overwhelmed…it might be time to give it another go.

      BV reads quite sweet on me too, almost cloyingly so for the first hour. I’ve just bought a decant so that I can test it out thoroughly. I don’t like it as much as Cuir de Lancome, an yet find it more wearable …

    I am wearing Eau Duelle by Diptyque. The saleslady at Nordstrom’s gave me some samples of it when I was there last week to buy Volutes EDP. I like it all right but it’s a bit too sweet and bland for me, pure vanilla. I got Journey Woman recently in a sample and was underwhelmed by it. I also found it way too sweet. That’s good because I have a couple of other Amouage scents on the wish list (Fate and Interlude Woman) and don’t need to keep adding more. I also have a bottle of Eau Turquoise by PdN but I don’t really like it that much. It turns a bit cloying after it’s on for awhile.

        I gave myself 4 healthy sprays from the big bullet-like atomizer. Did you dab or spray? Many find it fleeting as well; I am one of the lucky exceptions.

          I dabbed from a sample. Reluctant to dive in for a FB. Sorry about the mis-spelled word!

    Wearing Reem Acra EDP today. Was considering Lolita Lempicka but the Reem Acra was calling to me, saying “No, wear me, wear me!”

    You inspired me to go PdN as well: I’m wearing L’Eau Mixte, such a great grapefruit/cassis scent.

    Joining you in PdN Eau Exotique. Exotique and Eau d’Ete are my hot-weather go-tos.

    SOTD – Eau Claire des Merveilles which I found in a box of untried samples. I am planning to go in for a more thorough spray – this may be love. Oh my fickle heart!

    Patou 1000 edp from a sample I ordered from StC… It’s been growing on me all morning.

    Sometimes I have to play a silly game with myself when I try some of the older frags… I talk myself into thinking it is a niche scent from a hip Williamsburg atelier… then I can judge it on its merits… otherwise I tend to dismiss it too quickly.

    Tuesday’s beach discussion led me to wear Cote d’Amour. I’m almost as far as it is possible to get from an ocean on this continent, so I need an occasional sniff of salt.

    Wearing Mandragore edt today. Nearing the end of the bottle – my first since I fell down the perfume rabbit hole! Now I’m wondering whether I should replace it with the edp or stick with the edt. Does anyone know if there are noticeable differences between the two other than how long they last?

    Today’s sotd was Tauer parfum’s L’air du désert Marocain. Unfortunately I did not match my outfit with my fragrance today so no billowing shawls. It worked well in the chilly but sunny spell we’ve had here lately and I think the dryness of it would make it suitable for hotter days also, and it’s really long-lasting. I’m not sure I love it enough to consider a bottle though…

    Tried Lubin Idole from the giant sample bag I was super-lucky to get in a swap. Don’t know if it’s spiced-rumminess suits me as it almost immediately caused a sneezing fit. It’s kind of nice when something is immediately ruled out for me?

    L’Artisan Traversee du Bosphore. I can’t decide whether I like it or not. I’ll have to wear it this weekend after Forgotten Friends Friday.

    SOTD is Guerlain AA Ylang & Vanille, one of the very few scents I wear on a cold winter’s day and a sultry summer one. Not sure why I purchased this years ago, I love vanilla but my tolerance for tropical florals is very low; the ylang in this is way too strong while the vanilla disappointingly weak. The smoky drydown is lovely, but it takes a long time to arrive.

    SOTD was Cinnabar. After using it today, I decided it is not suited for Summer, so I guess it will be moved back on the shelf until the cold months come!
