Happy Wednesday! What's your fragrance today?
I'm wearing Prada Amber Pour Homme.
Reminder: this Friday, 10/24, we're doing Gender Wars: wear something marketed to your gender opposite, with partial credit for wearing something marketed as unisex.
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.

Looks like you’re getting an early start on the Friday Gender War!
So did I actually as I wearing vintage Montana Eau de Peau last night.
SOTD is Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentré, a former signature scent of mine.
I’m in men’s all week
And you smell great, if I had that one I’d be wearing it!
On basenotes, there is a 2001 interview with Michael Edwards in which he indicated that Chanel pour Monsieur was then the closest match to the original Coty Chypre.
Chanel Pour Monsieur is indeed a great chypre (or oriental fougère according to some) but the Chanel Pour Homme Concentré is a spicy oriental. Not to every one’s liking, the Concentré version is still, IMHO, a great fragrance in it’s own right.
I want some…
no 19 poudre-
like a soft cashmere wrap on this cold rainy day
Nice. I could use a cashmere wrap here too…
I love No. 19 Poudre, it’s definitely on my full-bottle (or generous split) list.
I like no. 19 Poudré too. It’s very soft and easy to wear. Glad to see there are other fans out there – it doesn’t always get much love!
Bois d’Arménie, another one that I reach for when it starts to get colder.
Yum.
Sampling Musc Maori and Sebastiane Espresso Royale, they make a great layering combo.
I love that ad. So many unconventionally handsome men!
Isn’t that a great image?
Such dapper gentlemen!
I’m wearing Cacharel Amor Amor — a bright, sunny perfume for a rainy day.
I went through a full bottle of the original Amor Amor many years ago but haven’t tried it in a long while. I wonder how much it has changed since then.
I’m afraid I’ve never tried an older version!
Testing Ann Gerard Cuir de Nacre. Subtle, but nice. I’m new to leather scents.
Alien, because the new trainee quit and I don’t have to be considerate with my scent today. Anyone who gets too close will just have to suffer.
The lady in the waiting area keeps sneezing but I’m blaming her huuuuge Aqua-net sillage. It’s actually making my eyes burn (and making me slightly nostalgic).
Wow, I had no idea Aqua Net was still being made! I can see why your eyes would burn. That stuff is toxic!
I used that to get my hair to stick straight up in the 1980s! I profess a certain fondness for that smell as well. My daughter and I both wear Alien!
My sisters and I used Aqua Net to kill spiders in the bathroom when we were kids.
Yes! That was the best use for it: bug killer!
Genius. I’m buying a can today.
Oddly, the first thing I thought of was a Baptist girls camp in about 6th grade. We used Aqua Net to knock scorpions off the outside of the cabin screens, and there was an Aqua Net scandal of some kind. Theft? Spray in someone’s food? One of the girls was a dancer and had multiple huge cans (and glitter makeup which was confiscated). I had completely forgotten (blocked?) that experience and still have no idea what led to my being there.
I’m wearing La Prairie Life Threads Platinum today. This scent is a very nice traditional chypre with actual oakmoss. It might be a bit much for office wear, but I’m heading out to the field later this morning, so I can rock it just fine.
You are the first person I ever see admitting in public (Perfumeland, I mean) that she’s wearing this perfume. I really liked La Prairie Life Threads Platinum and bought, I think, 10 samples at some point but whenever I offered to share with any of my perfume pals not a single person was interested.
I liked the moss-patchouli stuff in the base. I was less enthralled with the screechy florals above it (and you know I *like* my florals). I gave it a shot, it just wasn’t good for me.
Didn’t March at Perfume Posse like it, though? I have a vague recollection.
Oh. No. It was the Silver she liked (while calling it “not me”).
http://perfumeposse.com/2009/10/13/la-prairie-life-threads/
I doubt I’d ever have purchased this at its original price ($150 I think?), but when they discontinued the line I picked up a bottle for $40 and at that price, it’s an excellent value. Heck, I loved these bottles and wanted one to set out. Thankfully, I liked one of the scents that came with them.
It’s a bit much when you first put it on, but on me, at least, the ‘muchness’ only lasts for minutes before the woody/mossy good stuff comes to the forefront.
I wasn’t enamoured of the other scents – gold and silver – but platinum spoke to me.
Although it is in color, that ad looks very 19th Century.
SOTD is Plunder by BPAL, which is a dead ringer for Good Earth’s Original Sweet and Spicy Tea.
L’Artisan Safran Troublant, because someone here wore it yesterday and that put it in my head. So simple but so terrific.
I wore that the other evening after several people mentioned it. I like it but always wish it had more oomph. I wish they would do a concentré or parfum.
I’m wearing Amouage Sunshine today – such a happy happy scent! It’s super light – I’ve doused myself (2x my normal sprays) and I still can barely detect it. It’s fruity – the notes say black current + osmanthis and that combo smells peachy with just the slightest hint of vanilla to my nose. Despite it’s lightness, it seems to last for hours. Typical of Amouage, I’ll get a good 6-8 hour longevity.
Amouage seems to be my house of houses. Almost everything works beautifully for me and several are listed in my list of desert island scents. I’ll need a bottle of Sunshine when my decant runs dry. A beautiful sunny yellow bottle!
Lucky you! I’m so looking forward to trying that! And that yellow bottle is such a fantastic happy colour!
I’m excited about trying this one too.
A cold and grey day, just perfect for some FM Noir Epices. Somehow it seemed greener than usually today. All in all it brightened up my day considerably.
How would you personally describe that scent? I’ve been considering purchasing a decant because I’m a Malle fangirl, but I’m worried it might be a bit too masculine? I looooove green, but sometimes scents with vetiver (prob Vetiver Extraordinaire, too) verge on the masculine, I find.
I love Noir Epices and if it wasn’t so $$$ I’d already own a bottle. As it is I consider myself lucky to have about 10 mls. I find it very wearable for women. It smells like a whopper rich cousin to Chanel Coco, which I like very much, so there is no problem there. I get a lot of neroli/orange peel out of it. The opening is very dense, but it smooths out fairly quickly. I find only a small squirt is necessary, and it’s one of my favorites in very cold weather.
I’d call it spicy with green and juicy vibes and a smidgeon of sweetness. It is potent but not dark in any way.
SOTD is Volutes having seen it mentioned a number of times the past few days I decided to dig out my sample.
As I’ve also been sampling Chergui I immediately get the tobacco & honey similarity, but Volutes is much softer and easier to wear than Chergui IMO.
Perfect pick for a rainy and cold day.
Cooler wet gorgeous Fall day here, perfect for Fleurs de Santal by Sifonia di Note. A really beautiful creamy sandalwood.
I love that one! The brand seems to be so hard to find in the U.S. anymore.
I know what you mean, Luckyscent used to carry the line, which is where I got my bottle. Now ebay may be your best bet in the US. Not everything in the line is great, but this one is a gem!
No SOTD for me. Home sick with a terrible cold, so it would be pointless to wear perfume when I can’t smell anything!
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Feel better soon!
Thanks guys
Sunny warm day here, and Olene by Diptyque. It smells like a slightly green-tinged version the jasmine sambac I have growing.
Olène is beautiful!
Trying Soivohle Cumberland Ti today which is a gently sweetened tea with some fuzzy florals. Rather nice actually
That does sound nice!
Now it has broom! It doesn’t seem to be used often but I love that note. If anyone knows anything else with broom/genet I’d love to know
Santa Maria Novella Ginestra. And OJ Ta’if…
Ta’if is already on my eventual full bottle wish list and will have to go try the SMN
Amouage Opus III. I’d have some of this already if it weren’t so $$$
Furze/gorse is related to it, so on the other end of the $ scale is Furze by Lush/Gorilla
Grey and stormy day, although the worst of the storm is behind us, made me want a peaceful fragrance, so I chose VCA Bois d’Iris.
Am finally getting around to testing the “petal” samples that Pinrose sent me a couple weeks ago. I’m still doubtful that the petals will last more than a couple of hours – they’re like those wet wipe thingies, and I don’t think I like them.
On the other hand, Moonlight Gypsy smells quite a bit like Organza Indecence, so we’ll see if I get decent wear out of it. Will report back.
Coming to the conclusion that not only are these Pinrose things as I suspected, just variations on the average department-store stuff, they’re not even cheaper, as they advertise that they are. Mind you, Moonlight Gypsy is pretty decent, but if you can get an ounce of it for $50 at Pinrose and 3.3 ounces of Organza Indecence (the Mythiques version) for $95… well…
Good to know. I opted not to try them because I hate towelettes.
I knew I wasn’t a particular fan of towelettes, but don’t hate them specifically. The lasting power on these (I’ve tried four of the ten now) is actually decent, but sillage is pretty much nada, and then there’s the whole issue of “what if I want more than this for one application?”
Scent of the day and of the week so far is Shalimar Parfum Initial, my most recent purchase. It smells like plasticine for the first ten minutes and then it softens. I find it very office-appropriate, which I wasn’t expecting.
I’m wearing Arkinson’s Odd Fellow’s Bouquet. It’s an easy to wear, undemanding scent that reminds me of an uncle’s cherry pipe tobacco.
I’ve noticed that some folks here know a lot about essential oils. My 4th grader was sent home with her second note this year that another student in her class has lice. Does anyone know of any scents to repel the little buggers? I may be naive, but I’m hoping that there’s something preventive I can spray on hair/clothing so she doesn’t carry any stragglers home. Thanks!
I’m no expert, but I searched at a website that I like (and have no affiliation with) and it seems that lavandin, which is a more camphorous lavander, can work well for that. The link is:
http://www.aroma-zone.com/info/fiche-technique/huile-essentielle-lavandin-super-aroma-zone#recipes_ideas
Good luck!
I’ve heard cinnamon oil but be careful and don’t use undiluted–it’s really strong stuff and can burn
My boss is a certified aromatherapist so I just texted her for some info, but lemongrass and peppermint are both natural insect repellents. I wouldn’t put any directly on their hair, but put maybe 10-20 drops of either of those in a 2oz spray bottle with water (or 30-40 in a 4 oz) and spray it on their hair. Also, 10-20 drops of tea tree oil, or the lemongrass or peppermint, in their shampoo would probably also be helpful.
These are just my suggestions, but I will report back when I hear from my boss!
My boss said go for tea tree oil!
Hope this isn’t too late to be any good, but after several dreadful bouts of lice in our family we have totally nailed it and have been free of them during the last few epidemics. Once we got rid of the little beasts by using a lice comb and quantities of cheap white conditioner every 3 days until clear, we started using tea tree shampoo and conditioner on the kids. Not one little beast for over two years now. Every time we get a note home about lice we spray diluted tea tree oil into school hats too. Tea tree is very unattractive to lice and I think they just choose another head when they smell it.
Armani, the first one, with the black details in the bottle. After that crazy pink rollercoast that was spraying too much Lipstick Rose yesterday, I seriously needed some structure.
Glad you made it through!
And now I have the red hot chili peppers singing rollercoaster of love stuck in my head
Thank you, Nebbe! It actually felt like having Anthoni Kiedis dancing inside of my skin. I’ll stay away from it for a while.
Right, I had to go and look up who on earth Kiedis was. I’ve just about heard of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I now have to find a clip of him dancing.
Talking of powdery roses; have you ever tried Drôle de Rose? It’s supposed to be in the same vein as Lipstick Rose but lighter. I’ve never tried LR but love DdR.
He dances like a fiend! I have never tried Drole de Rose, but now I’ll try to get my paws on it. I also love Putain des Palaces, along the same vein.
I have totally done that before with Lipstick Rose. I didn’t even spray it, I spilled my decant on myself. I didn’t realize what pungent stuff it was until that day.
Ouch! A long time ago I broke my Paloma Picasso bottle. Roses can be vengeful.
SOTD is L’Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme. Love, love, love the anise in this one.
Chose Burberry Body today. Getting chocolate and vanilla and musky rose. 1 spray under clothes lasts all day long, so good for a day like today.
I went masculine yesterday with Patchouli Homme, so I swung the pedulum today, wearing a pencil skirt, a hot pink top, and Vince Camuto’s Eau De Parfume. I didn’t get much sleep last night, so at least I look and smell perkier than I feel.
It’s cool and rainy today. So did not want to get out of bed, but Lyric Woman by Amouage is making the day quite bearable. It’s like a soft, warm blanket for me today
I love Lyric – wore it last night after my SOTD had worn off.
Mmm, I can totally see this as being a wonderful scent for nighttime.
Lyric is beautiful.
It’s my first time trying it and I love it. I will cry when my sample is empty.
Maybe a small decant will suffice? Check the decanting sites for specials – you never know!
I love Lyric. It’s cozy but works well in hot weather and the silage is perfect. I could probably actually use an entire FB of it if I could find someone else to pay for it
For now, I’ll stick to rationing my decant.
SOTD is Profumum Fiore d’Ambre. Notes are reportedly amber and opium, but having never smelled opium I will have to go on faith. In any case, it’s warm, somewhat dusty. with a touch of salt. Not sweet so far. I think it’s very nice.
This one is lovely!
Wearing Marni today. Feels fresher than the last time I wore it, oddly enough.
Wearing CdeG Carnation today. How long will it last? Will I be forced to go on a sniffing break at the Perfume Shoppe this afternoon? We’ll see.
Pretty carnation! Carnation is a neglected note in my collection. I remember trying Red Moscow and liking that too. I need to make carnation a project for next year.
On me, i barely get 30 minutes with 4 healthy sprays.
I am wearing original Van Cleef and Arpels today. Enveloping incense and very warm. I certainly love my newer scents, however, my scents from the 70’s, 80’s, and ealier, always seem to make me feel happiest.
A Lipstick Rose day! Always makes me happy.
I do feel for the commenter who sprayed too much yesterday – it is tenacious and big. One spray lasts me for several hours.
Don’t think I saw Marjorie Rose here yet today but I know she is a big lipstick rose fan as well.
Continuing my unisex week with Smell Bent Mirror Ball, which is an unusual combination of hyacinth and incense.
mmmmm, sounds lovely!
Huh. That sounds like a Smell Bent I might like. So far the only one I *really* dig is One.
The one Smell Bent I really was impressed with a few years ago was Never Never Land. I need to get on it and start testing all the newer smellies. An order is a long time coming.
I’ve only tried a few but I have found them all pretty interesting! Especially Bollywood or Bust, which is like Marni but I actually like it better than Marni.
Wearing AG Nuit Etoilee today. It’s been chilly in the mornings lately, though warming up during the day so I am having a hard time choosing scents lately. I think I made a good choice today. Even though the piney-ness makes it seem “wintry”, the mint is cooling and hopefully won’t overpower once it warms up.
As I was reading your “chilly in the mornings […] though warming up during the day” I almost expected to see the sentence ending with something like “that’s exactly how this perfume smells.”
I think you made a great choice.
I really like it – I think I’ve only sampled once or twice before. Dying to try it sprayed since I just have a dab sample. Just went over to ebay and it is very reasonable. Think a new blue bottle may be in my future!
Drop me an e-mail and I’ll send you a spray sample (but the bottle is so beautiful that I hope you’ll want to buy it anyway).
Oh you’re so sweet to offer! The sample I have is pretty big and I have some small spray atomizers, so I can make my own. And for $50-60, I think I’ll be getting the bottle anyway. Just have to decide if I want the feminine or masculine. Leaning toward the masculine one (and it’s cheaper too!).
Today I wore Agonist Dark Sapphir but it is really not working for me. Just too much but it lasts forever, so now I a bit grumpy!
Started the week with the original Mauboussin in it’s glorious little pyramid bottle. Since Histoire d’Eau sits right next to it I wore that the next day and now I am wearing the original again! These are both lovely orientals for the fall…..
I love Mauboussin! It was my first plum/dried fruit oriental. I think the drydown is just amazing!
I’m wearing Lolita Lempicka Eau de Minuit today.
Today, I am just wearing some Jasmine CO2 and Tangerine EO diluted in jojoba oil. My seasonal affective disorder is starting to creep up on me with the days getting shorter (even though the weather is beautiful!) and this particular combination really seems to take the edge off.
As for later today, I’m not sure what I will end up in. Maybe Temps D’Une Fete.
Tangerine is such a joyful smell! I’m not big on citrus fragrances, but I absolutely adore tearing into a fresh tangerine, for the sense delight.
(Also adore Le Temps d’une Fete. Gorgeous in the fall as well as the spring, if you ask me.)
Me three! Almost wore Le Temps d’une Fete today.
It’s funny you say that because I really don’t care for citrus fragrances either. Often, they are too dreamsicle-y for me. But tangerine, I just really love. It is, as you said, so joyful!
Oh, and yes, when I got my bottle in the spring I thought, “This is the perfect fragrance for spring!” And now that it’s fall I have been thinking the same thing. It’s an interesting scent that I did not expect to be reaching for in the fall, but have found myself wearing it so much in this weather.
I’m sorry about your S.A.D. — I know how you feel. I work in a grey, windowless cubicle and I have added a natural sunlight /full spectrum lamp to my desk. I think that it helps me. I have also covered my cubicle walls with my husband’s nature photography.
All the best,
KC
Oh my goodness, I feel for you too! Where did you get your lamp? I’ve been thinking about getting one, because I feel like the lack of natural light is so hard, but I don’t know where to purchase them or how much to pay, which ones are good, etc.
Bulb: Lights of America, FML-27 Model 9024B 27W. I got the lamp at Home Depot several years ago. I don’t rememer how much cost, but I think that it was well under $50 (it’s a small desk lamp). It came with a bulb. Whenever I look for replacement bulbs (you don’t have to replace the bulb very often) at Home Depot, I have to ask for help because they are not shelved with the other bulbs.
I don’t have the box for the lamp any longer, but you should look for terms like “Natural Full Spectrum Sun Light. Simulates Daylight.” I have some gemstone rings, and some of them turn different shades under different lighting (regular office fluorescent lighting, incandescent lighting, and my lamp that simulates daylight). When I hold them up to my simulated daylight lamp, they look the same as they do outside in the natural sunlight. Cool!
Thank you SO much. I am off of work today so I think I’m going to go to Home Depot and see if I can get what I need.
I love Tangerine essential oil! Trader Joe’s has fresh tangerine juice sometimes. Yum!
SOTD = Hermes Voyage d’Hermes Parfum
I bought a FB of the original EDT and wore it a lot until I got tired of it and ended up selling my bottle. The parfum has more depth but doesn’t last as long which is unusual in my opinion.
I hope you’re wearing it not from a newly bought FB?
I have 3 atomizer samples from my lovely SA at Nordstrom. I’ll give it a few more whirls as I could have under-applied.
SOTD is Coco because I feel like smelling a little on the dated side.
Aww, I can see what you mean by that, but I still refuse to call Coco dated because I like it so much. I’ll be stubbornly in denial
Oh- love Coco! I almost wore that today. Not dated – *classic* !!! Repeat after me: “I smell *classic*.”
Coco is a colleague’s signature sent. She applies the right amount. I think I’ll tale my Tom Ford Black Orchid colleague perfume sniffing one of these days to expand her perfume wardrobe – we both need retail therapy.
Less than a full squirt is the perfect amount. I get a lot of compliments when I wear Coco, and I think that’s because I keep it as low dose as possible. And that’s also why I have a bottle that will last me about 6 years.
SL Clair de Musc. I’m a grad student at UChicago, and everybody here is really bare bones as far as make-up and scent go, maybe because everybody is so studiously nerdy. Not even patchouli-smelling Karma-wearin’ hippies — the shame!
When I’m on campus I’ve had to go with really light skin scents, or something fairly innocuous. One day I want to wear Lust or Black Oud though and tear things up! But I won’t, because I’m gutless and Lust in the daytime would just be cruel.
I was in grad school at Chicago in the late 90s, and it sounds like nothing has changed!
Wait until the most depressing week of Winter Quarter, and then break out the Black Oud. Or a good Amouage. That’ll shake ’em up!
I’m here for the social work school. Yeah, I’m a product of state school undergrad and it’s a completely different world. Everybody’s nice and smart, but there’s a sort of weird mentality there that seems endemic to ivy-ish league-type schools. Like everybody is entitled in the sense that they are used to having the best of the best schooling, so if they don’t like or agree with a prof, they feel personally insulted and/or marginalized. Ugh. I relate more to the clients at my practicum who are DV victims and alcoholics than the people in my cohort. Well, I’m also in recovery, so there’s that! (Phew, I guess I needed to vent! Thanks!)
Anytime
Hah! When I was in Library school there in the mid ’80s I wore 7eme Sens and Aromatics Elixir. I think I was the only one in my cohort who wore perfume…
Haha, it’s so nice that somebody else understands “cohort.” My non-UC friends make fun of me when I say it.
I actually feel important when I use “cohort” in a sentence in a business setting.
I hope I didn’t come off as obnoxious and snobby! It’s a UofC thing – they separate people at the various schools eg law, policy, social work into more manageable groups that you have all your classes with for your first year – I think it’s to make them homey, but it can also be a semi-prison if you don’t care for the people in your cohort!
Started off today with my new crush, Hermes Hiris! The juice is as beautiful at the bottle!
Now just found a neglected sample of SSS Ambre Noir and slapped a bit on my left wrist to test- it’s really nice, no surprise there since I like so many in this line.
Happy Humpday to all
I really like Hiris, but it fades so fast on me! It is a beautiful scent.
Oh, that’s too bad! I know when I was researching this scent, that was an issue for some reviewers. Luckily for me I don’t have that problem as it seems to last very well. It is just an all around gorgeous, well done fragrance.
Bottega Veneta on a rainy day, and it feels perfect.
BV is wonderful!
I’m in love with BV’s The Knot! And I want that bottle!
SotD is vintage Brousseau Ombre Rose (*not* the reformulated L’Original).
Normally I would run a mile from an old-school powdery rose (I’m all about in-your-face orientals and chypres), but there’s something about vintage Ombre Rose… it has a tangy citrusy note that cuts through the powder and keeps it balanced and interesting. Very wearable!
I have a bottle of this. I don’t often wear it, but I do like to use it as a room or linen spray!
I love the vintage Ombre Rose, have a small extrait and an edp (not to mention its gorgeous bottle, for those of us who enjoy such things).
Just went for a run, but after my shower I’ll put on Prada Infusion d’Homme. It’s a rearrangement of Infusion d’Iris notes, similar but different enough to keep my interest
I felt like putting on Vivienne Westwood Cheeky Alice today, and so I spritzed it on. I don’t think grapefruit is listed as a note, but I always get a little and it is really nice on me.
Great name :)!
Today I’m wearing Benjoin 19, though it is somewhat hard to detect with my rather congested nose. It seemed to have more sillage the day I tested it, but that could just be my sinuses. I’m going to put it aside for when I’m better and hope next time I get the same beautiful amber and incense I got the first time.
Tonight, I’m going to take a hot bath with one of my fave bath products–Pure Fiji Coconut Milk bath (not affiliated) in the gingerlily scent, spray on a bit of LAP’s Fleur d’Oranger ’05 and hope for sweet dreams and a happier nose (well, entire body, really) in the morning.
SOTD is Natori edp, which I am finally convinced I need in FB. It falls into that same category for me as Coco. I love those well crafted aldehyde orientals!
I just heard this was discontinued so hurry!
SOTD is Naomi Goodsir Or du Serail. Decided I can’t possibly wait two more months and hope that Santa gets the hint, so impulse-ordered a FB today.
trying SSS Yin & Yang, so far I’m on the fence
A glorious fall day here with bright sunshine and temps a bit warmer. One of my rugosa rose bushes is still bravely blooming, defiant despite falling leaves and nighttime temps hovering near frost. Large fragrant roses with luscious and creamy yellow/peach/apricot petals, they inspired my scent choice today: A tiny spritz of vintage Lancome Tresor edp layered over apricot/vanilla lotion captures their essence. I ‘treasure’ both!
Sending ‘feel better soon’ wishes to all NST’rs who are not feeling well or are undergoing stressful times.
Sounds lovely.
You and your roses must smell wonderful, Laila.
Wow, that sounds like a beautiful combination! And hurray for your brave roses. There are a few (very few!) late-blooming honeysuckle clinging to the bushes in my neighborhood right now. Every time I walk by them, I have to stop and sniff. I’ve never smelled honeysuckle this late into the year before, and their scent is so gorgeous in the crisp weather.
Wearing SL Vetiver Oriental. One of my fall faves; it is that miracle of a vetiver fragrance without citrus. Warm rather than cold, and not after-shavey. Mmm mmm good.
This is definitely on my vetiver “must sniff” list! Your description makes it sound totally swoon worthy!
Amouage Homage Attar – fighting back against an exceptionally rainy, chilly and dreary day here!
BTW, I don’t usually care for Prada, but I googled that 2012 fall-winter campaign, and Willem Dafoe in steampunk has transformed my view of the house. I think he should accompany the look with Parfums MDCI Chypre Palatin, though.
I often like their menswear better than the womenswear…but honestly don’t think I own a single thing from Prada that isn’t perfume.
Sotd L’Artisan Coeur de Vetiver Sacre. Perfect for a perfect October day…
