Another Tuesday, and September is almost gone! What's your scent of the day?
And if you've discovered anything new and great lately (anything!) do tell us about that too.
I'm wearing L'Artisan Traversée du Bosphore.
Reminder: this Friday, 3 October, is Purgatory Basket Friday...find a sample you haven't been able to make up your mind about, give it a second chance.
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.
I wore Traversée yesterday, such a wonderful scent. I’m wearing Bois de Paradis today, a little loud but quite wonderful nevertheless.
I haven’t worn it in ages, and missed it!
I bought some Traversee to Turkey with me so I could traverse the Bosphorus in it 😀 As much as I like it I only wore it the once as it was too warm, and I found Ninfeo Mio (figs) and Roma Imperiale (Roman ruins) suited the place better. Is that odd? Hehe
I took Philosykos to Greece and could only wear Cristalle Eau Verte there – it was just that hot! Ironic though…
I brought Traversée du Bosphore to Hawaii a couple of weeks ago (it worked well on my previous trip there) but never got to wear it this time. For any special reason, I just didn’t feel like it. But I still think it’s great.
TdB is very cozy, very pretty. I’m waiting for the perfect day to bust it out! It’s one of the few L’APs that I own (along with Drole de Rose).
Then we share Drôle de Rose as well. I also own Dzing!, La Haie Fleurie and the 2 vanilla’s.
Ah – that reminds me that I have a LD of Haie Fleurie too!!! 🙂
I almost left the house unscented so had to grab the closest bottle – it’s Eau de Merveilles.
One of my favorites…not a bad thing to keep in reach 🙂
I just bought a bottle of that. Cannot wait to get it!
I tried some of it flankers, and quickly decided that Eau de Merveilles is not for me. Then, finally, because everybody here seems to like it, I gave the real thing a try. WOW! Eau de Merveilles is really marvelous! So, now, I am also planing to buy a bottle. Is there anything one needs to be careful about; reformulations or other tricks?
It hasn’t been reformulated as far as I’m aware- haven’t heard anything..
Thanks! That is great to know!
Purgatory day two: Ann Gerard Rose Cut. There’s no question it’s lovely, just whether it’s lovely enough to pay for it.
Afraid to go remind myself how much it costs!
You know, it’s probably not even that bad for a quality niche fragrance. (Trigger warning: $165 for 60 ML.) But way higher than my previous top! Also, unfortunately, not one that’s likely to come around at much of a discount on any regular basis.
We need an emoticon for a price-related trigger warning ❗
But you could get an Ann Gerard Discovery Set of 4 atomizers of each of Ann Gerard perfumes 🙂
Haven’t tried that yet. Maybe that’s a good thing..
I’ve heard that it’s similar to La Fille de Berlin, would you agree? Hesitant to try it because I already have and love LFDB.
I have not tested LFDB as thoroughly but from my limited memory it was rather edgier, with more dramatic dark bits. What’s special to me about Rose Cut is how smooth it feels, which is not a quality I remember associating with LFDB. I hope that helps!
I was planning to wear Knot, the latest release from Bottega Veneta, but the sample was not within reach. Will do that tomorrow!
Have you tried it yet? Victoria at BdJ gave it 4 stars and she and I have very similar tastes, but my one and only try I didn’t find it all that exciting.. one to try again I think
I tried it only briefly (will really need to sniff it again to make a judgment), but I think I liked it better than other from BV and Marni.
I’ve used up my sample and I still don’t know what to make of it.
It’s actually quite frustrating. It is not wowing me, but I still want to smell it and even, dare I say, buy it.
It’s subtle and very wearable. I find it pretty and not too sweet for an orange blossom.
I wonder if my love of the original is hugely influencing my feelings toward this. Could be.
I tried it and did not like it at all. It had way too much citrus for me. That is just my opinion, but I am sure others will love it.
I love Traversée du Bosphore. It will have to be brought back into rotation as soon as this fall heat wave is over.
SOTD is my work regular Eau de Courrèges.
At some point this week, I am expecting my new (unsniffed) A*Men Pure Wood. I might even let myself be tempted by the A*Men Pure Coffee re-release…
I still haven’t tried any of them. I know it’s unfair as they’re NOT Angel, but Angel scared the daylights out of me so much I hesitate to step back into Mugler territory… 🙂
Which of the mens ‘special’ ones is the best?
Perthgirl, I like Pure Havane and apparently Pure Malt and Pure Coffee were also very nice (but I’v never seen them). I didn’t like Pure Wood or Pure Shot…
Let us know how the Pure Wood is — haven’t tried it yet.
I’m on the same boat: waiting for cooler weather to wear TdB – wish it were cooler.
I tried one of the A*men’s the last time I was in Macy’s (it was better than any of the women’s aisle frags I tried!). But I can’t remember which one. It had a dark gold colored star. I thought the drydown was great.
The only flanker of A*Men I tried was Pure Havane and I like it. Now I look forward to trying Pure Wood.
Continuing on my Ormonde Jayne adventure, I’ve got Frangipani on one arm and Orris Noir on the other. Ta’if is still my favorite of the four I’ve tried thus far, but all are wonderful.
Also – I am so enjoying this beautiful box they came in….not usually as concerned about packaging as the scent, but oh how satisfying it is when your scents come in a pretty box…
I think the pretty packaging makes perfume a luxury product, and all the more special for it. The best packaging I’ve seen is Profumi del Forte. I almost didnt want to open it and ruin it!
Totally agree.
I have kept my Van Cleef and Arpels Bois d’Iris box too, and my bottle lives happily there, in between moments where I take it out/douse myself.
I kept the OJ box that my Ta’if was shipped in. It was very heavy, very pretty. I like nice boxes anyway.
You were so right about the Ta’if…this stuff is goooooood.
I know – it is my super HG fragrance! My fav rose ever. I only wish I had the means to buy the entire bath line and then I’d just swim in the stuff!
You inspired me to wear Champaca today! Such a nice one.
You smell delightful
In the OJ’s original collection there is no single perfume that I dislike and I have several strong favorites: I love Ta’if, it joined my all-time favorites list; I like and enjoy wearing Iris Noir, Tiare, Frangipani, Ormonde Woman, Tolu and Champaca.
I haven’t disliked a one thus far – so lovely.
Wearing Indigo from Magnetic Scent and this is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever tried– it’s sharp from a distance and is more of a soft floral on my left wrist and the hyacinth is starting to come up while my right wrist is sharper and for the first couple of hours was sort of inky/animalic/indolic almost but not quite fecal which is fading now. It’s like I’m wearing two different perfumes which is a very bizarre effect
Love hyacinth, will have to look into that one. Does sound odd though!
I’ll send you some
You’re so nice! But I still owe YOU 🙂
While decanting some for you, I got some on my fingertips which is a spicy hyacinth. My left wrist is now a soft floral while my right is a plush dark colored fur with purple tones. Never encountered a perfume that smells radically different depending on where I apply it.
Or you’re having a skin malfunction, LOL…seriously, that does sound weird.
Hello!
A bunch of decants arrived today (yay!), so have been trying:
Corsica Furiosa (yum)
Osmanthus Interdite (yum)
Vanilia (yum, and boo for discontinuation)
Lys 41 (yum)
Eau d’Hermes (hmm. Not sure yet)
Ylang 49 (er, not so yum)
Heure Exquise (hmm. Not so yum either)
Chypre-ish frags are the ones I’m having difficulty liking. They still smell old fashioned and musty to my nose but I’m still waiting for that ‘A-HA!’ moment where I ‘get’ them. Hopefully that will happen because I don’t feel I can truly wear my perfumista badge until it does :-/
Une Folie de Rose was that ah-ha moment for me.
I haven’t tried any Rosines, but I just looked it up and the notes sound really nice. Except for the oakmoss 😉 If I can get my hands on any I’ll give it a whirl- thanks for the rec
Liking a particular family of fragrances is not a perfumista requirement. Reporting your testing results online with people all over the world will qualify you just fine
Agree!
Lol. Thanks Rena. I’ve had the lightbulb moment with tuberose and iris, so I do wonder whether it will ever happen with chypres. Happy my reportage qualifies though 🙂
Ha, well put 🙂 (Hope you are having a better day today, have been thinking of you!)
I love Heure Exquise, but it needs space. It’s not one for pressing the nose into the wrist. I also find it wears better on humid days and the florals kind of hover a bit more.
I put on some The Pour Un Ete just because I felt like wearing it. Saw the bottle and had to put it on.
Yum.
I’m really enjoying the unseasonably warm (and dry!) September. I spent so much of my early summer studying and sitting the exams that I appreciate this lovely weather even more than usual. Anyway, I was in Philosykos yesterday and I’m continuing the fig theme with Premier Figuier today.
I discovered that I got a new job yesterday so that’s pretty wonderful. I mentioned an interview a couple of weeks ago and got some good luck wishes from fellow NSTers. They worked pretty well since I ended up with two job offers and could pick the one that’s more interesting and better paid.
Huge congrats, that’s wonderful news!
Congratulations! Are you getting a new perfume to celebrate?
Congratulations! You should totally celebrate with some new perfume. 🙂
Thanks, ladies!
More money for perfume was my first thought! I might finally get that Hermessence travel set or a bottle of Incense Rosé.
Congratulations Abyss! That’s great news.
I see Andy Tauer has a new rose available only for U.S. and Swiss shipping too…
I like the way you think!
I vote for the travel set: four perfumes are more versatile than one ; -)
Congratulations on your new job!
Congratulations on the job!
Congrats on your new job!
Hooray for you!
Thanks again, everyone!
Woohoooo!
Eau d’Elide today. Why? It was warm so I looked in my “E” sample bag for an “Eau” perfume. The label came off this one so I figured I’d better wear it before I forgot what it was.
Signed,
Woman with Waaaaaaaay Too Many Perfumes
I have a sample problem myself– I CANNOT seem to get my untried samples below 300….
Do you need any help? 😉
Hi, I’m thegoddessrena and I have a sampling problem..
..or were you suggesting giving me more samples so that I never have to worry that I MIGHT go below 300 untested…..
I meant help testing your samples 😉 but giving you more would work as well: you’ll fondly remember times when you had just 300…
Well, if you live in the NY/NJ area and feel like giving me expert opinions by spraying samples on me…..I can see it now:
Hmm, based on what you own and your testing notes for the last 500 fragrances, I think sample #219, which is the one I sprayed between your shoulder blades, you will find to be an absolute scrubber
This is so funny!
It’s still really warm out (90’s) and I’m wearing my “hot laundry” scent: Lubin’s Gin Fizz. It smells like clean hot laundry to me.
I’ve added a dab of Chamade parfum (from a generous NSTer) and LOVE IT! OMG. My wrist is glued to my nose. Stop looking at me funny… 🙂
That’s the perfumista salute, you know.
And Chamade is fabulous.
You’re both hilarious 🙂
Perfumista salute – I love that! It’s perfect. And so is Chamade!!
And the perfumista greeting: it looks like ladies giving air kisses, but they’re really sniffing each other.
I got a random sample of Gin Fizz earlier this month and it made me smile for smelling exactly like its name promised. Apparently a re-launch of 1955 perfume inspired by Grace Kelly? Not sure I can see her wearing it for some reason, but I am totally behind the idea of re-launching old perfumes 🙂
SOTD is Beltane by Roox St. James – a great find when I was in Austin, TX in a fun shop called Blackmail. I have to order their sample pack to see if I like any of their other scents as well.
Today is my SO’s birthday, and the only two scents I’ve worn that he’s ever mentioned liking are Mythique and Clair de Musc, so I think it will be one of those today. It’s not that he doesn’t like scents, but he can hardly smell anything. It’s weird to me that these would be the two he would like, since they’re both so light, but that is the case. And they’re two of my favorites as well!
I wish you to have a great celebration – with or without perfume.
Donna Karan Black Cashmere. I wasn’t sure at first that I liked this. The opening is sharp and the sweet elements in the wood seemed kind of bubblegum-ish on my skin. I found myself reaching for my sample a lot more often than I expected, though, and have since not only gotten over the bubblegum thing, but decided I really like wearing this one.
I emptied my bottle of Prada Candy over the weekend, and so I’m allowing myself one new full bottle to replace it. Even though fall is just starting here, I’m not really sure I need another exclusively cool-weather scent, though, so I’m torn on Black Cashmere (especially since I’m trying to make more of an effort to be office-friendly).
An empty bottle! That’s a rare phenomenon in these parts- well done 🙂 I think you do deserve another bottle for that 😉
I got a sample of Hanae Mori Butterfly with a recent Sephora purchase, so I’m wearing that today. All I can say is: yum.
That’s a good one. Cozy and gourmand without being TOO dessert-y.
Received Fragrance Republic’s bag of free samples yesterday and began with OI and it really is a lovely soft kind of boozy fruity floral, though it is very sheer and I’m afraid I don’t do ‘sheer’ well.
Wearing TDC’s de Bachmakov today. I’m jealous that you can wear Traversée du Bosphore, Robin… I tried to like it, it sounds like something I should like, I like La Belle Helene, which some people say is similar, but there was something just too sweet about ii to me. Plenty of others, though, I guess.
I am with you, Janice — I tried but cannot wear Traversée du Bosphore …
Hey, MORE than plenty of others. At this point, I’m glad when I can cross something off my list.
It is cold and windy here in Minneapolis and I need to do a few things outside so SL Daim Blonde in on my wrists. I haven’t rotated in my really cold weather frags yet (I only have so much room on my dressing table) but todays cold blast means I need to get my act together and switch out. Daim Blonde is the rare bottle that gets year round use.
This is the one SL, besides La fille de Berlin, that I want to try. Well, try again. I sampled it a long time ago, and made a note that I liked it, but I don’t remember it at all. But I’ve read that Daim Blonde is a much richer suede plum than Bottega Veneta (which I concede is very sheet IMHO). Do you have any opinions on this?
I will agree with that opinion. I have both and find myself turning to Daim Blonde over and over all year long. It is much suede-ier LOL on my skin. Bottega has leather, that at least on me, disappears too quickly and then disappears overall. If I had to do over I’d just go with SL. I find that Diam Blonde lasts at least 5-6 hours on me and BV doesn’t even come close. Add in the richer leather smell and it’s a winner.
Thanks so much for your comments!
If leather, plum, and SL interest you, give Boxeuses a sniff. To my nose, it’s a super plummy, dark fruit version of Diam Blonde.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve never smelled Boxeuses.
My usually beloved Theo Fennell scent, but today it’s kinda funky. Like the funk from whence the music gets its name. Inappropriate for my day of hospital waiting rooms. Don’t know if it’s the Minneapolis chill and sweaters?
I put some moisturizer on top, maybe that amped up the funk?
Hospital waiting rooms don’t usually smell particularly nice, so I’m sure you’re making an improvement 🙂
Hope the tests are going well.
I got massive funk from TF the few times I tested it, so it didn’t work for me. Maybe the lotion killed some of the top or middle notes?
Whatever you’re doing in those waiting rooms (unless it’s your work), I hope it’ll end soon and, outside of those, everything smells better.
thank you…I’m spending a month helping my mom, and it is more rewarding than trying but I do hope things will be better soon…
(and most of my choices do smell better than what’s around us)
Rainy and cold this morning in Portland, so SOTD is 24 Faubourg. Golden!
SOTD for another stiff suit kind of day is Mitsouko extrait. Yummy and tough!
I have a question for anyone who would like to comment. I need to find an “it” gizmo for a kid who is about 9 years old. I am a bit gizmo challenged in this age range. What are all the kids raving about these days?
What’s your price range? My nephew is 10 and he likes these weird bug computer things from Target, cheap. Mechanical bugs is how I would describe them, they skitter across the floor and terrify the cat.
Well, now you have my attention! A weird robot bug that scares the cat. I think *I* need one of those. Thanks for the tip!
Tried quite the shocking scent yesterday (to my nose at least): Parfums Retro Grand Cuir.. this is a good example of how separate note loves combined together do not equal a loved perfume. Oh my did I run to the sink to scrub this off.
So happy for samples!
SOTD: tried & true.. Prada’s L`Eau Ambree
You smell lovely!
Today I’ve layered Pacifica Mediterranean Fig with the last of my sample of Tam Dao. It’s making me way happier than yesterday’s sample of Boucheron Vendome Palace, which was very pretty, but felt uninspiring and then after a couple of hours could no longer find it. I will have to try Vendome Palace again – maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for it.
I hadn’t worn Le Temps d’Une Fete for a couple of days, so I had to today. Love!
Love it too.
Oh, I love Traversee, great scent.
I wore a blast from the past today: Chrysalide from Lancomes Now or never collection from maybe -96.
It smells fine, but not at all as I remember it.
I pulled a couple of possibilities from the purgatory basket (TM Robin) and am wearing Cristalle edp. It is both lovely and meh, if that makes sense. It smells like quality ingredients and there is nothing wrong with it, but it doesn’t have that extra something to push it over the line either way. Still, perfectly nice and presentable.
What determines the crossing of the border between lovely and meh? The reformulation of Christalle turned it into meh to me. I now wear Private Collection Jasmine White Moss as it is not-meh and nice.
This morning I started out with AG Musc Nomade, but think I will put on a little bit of Montale Patchouli Leaves since it seems like it would layer nicely over MN and also because it’s such a chilly afternoon. It is such a cozy smell and my older kids actually really like it. I was cuddling the baby with it on last week and so a wee bit rubbed off in her hair and when my older daughter took her, she and the boys kept smelling her and saying how good she smelled even though I think she smells beautiful all by herself. So patchouli perfumes, for me, often make me think of my kids and they feel a bit like a “family perfume” if such a thing existed. 😉
I kind of liked Musc Nomade but for me it wears better in warmer weather. Also at some point I realized that three perfumes from that collection – Musc Nomade, Ambre Fétiche and Myrrhe Ardente – just do not smell different enough for me to use them all. And since I own Ambre Fétiche bottle my decants of the other two don’t get much use. I should probably try them again…
I actually find them very different from each other. Love them all, but only wear Musc Nomade when it’s warm.
Continuing my attempt to smell everything I can find locally, today’s SOTD is a sample of Shalimar. (I’ve resisted opening the worm-hole of internet purchasing of samples, for fear of where it will take me.) But I’m having a hard time getting a sense of Shalimar because my scarf smells heavily of yesterday’s sample, Atelier Cologne’s Silver Iris. They actually smell pretty nice in proximity.
I couldn’t do that– everything local would equal Barney’s, Bergdorf-Goodman, Saks, MIN, Osswald, and Twisted Lily.
I’m wearing Givenchy Organza today. I know there is universal (or nearly so) love for Indecence, but I’m a cheerleader for the original. This is such lovely rich juice. Big, yes, but I like them that way. I can’t really wear this scent in the heat – just too much of a muchness. But on the lovely fall day we’re having today (cool morning, topping out around 70 degrees) it’s just perfection.
I love them both! Organza doesn’t get enough love does it? You smell great 🙂
FM Eau de Magnolia today, my tiny bottle from the splitmeet. I am liking this a lot, even though it doesn’t last long on me (sadly, like all my Malles).
It lasts really well on fabric!
In honor of the bay rum discussion yesterday, I’m wearing Royall Bay Rhum. Eau de Dashing Grandpa wore off by mid-morning (it’s cologne, after all), so I’ve dabbed on some vanilla oil from the health food store that I keep stashed at work. Actually, bay rum does not seem particularly masculine to me. It’s warm, spicy, and slightly sweet, and I wish that more people wore it.
My grandfather wore Royall Lyme, and he always smelled lovely. I’m quite sure it doesn’t smell the same now, though.
Wearing Chanel Cuir de Russie today. Need my plush leather fix.
You smell wonderful! I might wear the EDT tomorrow (probably too warm for the extrait).
Love Cuir de Russie! Every time I wear it I think of how wonderfully elegant it is.
I’m rose-tastic today.. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to wear Rossy de Palma or Vert Pivoine, so I went with a spritz of both. Luckily they don’t clash.
We seem to like a lot of the same scents, Sweetgrass, so I will try to give Vert Pivoine a sniff sometime.
It’s a nice one, just a nice simple, slightly green rose that goes a little powdery. I was lucky to find a travel spray really cheap when Urban Outfitters put them on clearance on their website.
Slept a bit late and had a very busy morning. Wearing just a bit of Womanity body milk so far.
I’ve never tried TM’s body products. Does the body milk have the same staying power as their perfumes?
SOTD is Putain des Palaces. It’s beautiful, and not nearly as raunchy as the name suggests. Almost copied Robin with Traversee, but couldn’t resist the pretty Putain des Palaces. Love Traversee though, I was surprised by how it has so many gourmand notes without seeming like a pile of dessert.
I think PdP is pretty too, and not raunchy at all. (I like to call it Hotel Slut.)
PdP is a beauty. It does go a little dirty on me, but not enough to call it raunchy by any means.
I actually do find it pretty raunchy. something about the combination of creamy musk and leather.
Wearing Bulgari Black this sunny, cool morning. Getting plenty of rubber, which usually disappears in a couple of minutes.
What’s your price range? My nephew is 10 and he likes these weird bug computer things from Target, cheap. Mechanical bugs is how I would describe them, they skitter across the floor and terrify the cat.
Sorry, wrong area.
Mechanical bugs never stay where they are meant to 😉
I had some difficulty getting up this morning, so I put on Carthusia Mediterraneo. It is so uplifting and energizing!
Wearing Tea for Two today… Pity it was discontinued, but I’m enjoying my bottle of it.
The UK L’artisan site still has it I think…
I’m in Vero Kern Rozy Voile d’Ete. This is really something else — I kind of love it. Very va-voom.
I’m a huge fan of Traversée. You smell great!
You smell wonderful – Rozy VdE is incredible!
Thanks! I need to get more Rozy, I sent mine to Angie so she could review.
Haha… of course I meant Voile d’Extrait. I can’t keep these names straight anymore. And thanks, Jirish… it is pretty incredible!
A dip into the purgatory basket for me too. Tubereuse 40 today and I like it much more than last time. Still not worth the price for me but I’ll take a free bottle any day.
Wearing Chergui today because I needed something warming on this very grey day.
Rainy but warm here today, so I’m wearing Shalimar Parfum Initial L’Eau. If the weather refuses to believe it’s autumn, then so does my perfume 🙂
Bel Respiro (sample), and I found it obscenely beautiful when I applied. Flowers and green in a restful (but not dull!) balance. It did fade rather soon, so I can’t wait to get home to get some more on skin. I needed a bel respiro – been working very hard this month, and just submitted a project end report. Respiro sigh!
There’s also a question about ANYTHING new we discovered recently:
Philadelphia pecan honey cream cheese – yum.
Jour d’Hermes today–applied heavily, but immediately after showering (which seems to diffuse any and all scent on me), as a safe bet for an interview. I’ve almost finished my sample (1mL), and I just don’t love this one. One of the very few from Hermes that does not float my boat.
Hot! Sunny! Humid! In other words, same old, same old here. Ugh! Can’t wait for fall to get here, my A/C is gasping and wheezing like an asthmatic.
So to cheer me up, once again I had an asignation with Onda VdE! She gives me a boost and reminds me of an old album cover my mom had in her record collection when I was a kid.
It was called “Knockers Up” by Rusty something or another! Isn’t it crazy what we have in our memory vaults?!
Finally enough autumn for SL Santal Blanc!
It’s still summer here weather-wise but I declared that Fall has started (an AC in the office helps to maintain that illusion) and started wearing ambers. It’s Montale Blue Amber today and I’m enjoying it.
Started with Marni today and it was totally delightful for the entire hour it was present! Tried some truly awful perfume at the thrift store, was rescued by my handy dandy Kiehl’s Musk rollerball which I am convinced will cover the smell of just about anything! Great for awful moments when you cannot get to a sink to scrub!
Very late to the party and have neglected these SOTD polls.
I am unlikely to participate in the Purgatory Basket Friday because I tend to be polarized when it comes to perfume (usually anyway) so the ones I don’t like / hate on first smell do not stand a second chance. I don’t feel like I am missing out because there are just so many perfumes left to try…why agonize over something? Therefore, I will be doing the “wear a perfume you discovered in a blog” over the next two weeks (yes, I am weak). I will post links when I can (i.e. when I am sitting in front of my computer instead of tapping my comments on an iPhone).
Today, SOTD = Oriza Legrand Chypre Mousse
Earth, mushroomy, green, spicy, weird (that’s an ingredient, no?)
http://www.kafkaesqueblog.com/2013/11/04/oriza-l-legrand-chypre-mousse-horizon-reve-dossian/
Yesterday’s SOTD = Papillon Angelique
I could absolutely rock a FB of this but come swap meet time, I’ll be looking for someone who may want to swap for a similar amount of Anubis.
http://www.kafkaesqueblog.com/2014/08/11/papillon-perfumery-angelique-chameleon-in-the-woods/
Yumm. I loved all three of the Papillon fragrances and wish she would do a discovery set.
Thanks for reminding me that I really want to try Chypre Mousse for the weird and mushroom bits.
MikasMinion, if you are in the U.S., i would be happy to send you sample size of Chypre Mousse. And maybe we can discuss our “home-made”‘discovery set.
Thank you so much! I really need to invest in some decanting supplies because I feel like such a heel when other perfume folk are so generous and I have nothing with which to reciprocate. Yes, a home made discovery set is a great idea. My email is my username at gmail.
