It's Foody Friday! Our community project for today: wear a gourmand or foody fragrance. What did you pick?
As always, do chime in even if you're not participating in the community project.
I'm in the (cheap thrill!) Demeter Egg Nog. It took me nearly the whole week to find it.
Reminder: next Friday, 1/16, wear a fragrance from Prada or perfumer Daniela Andrier.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2015, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
SOTD is Cuir de Russie (Chanel). It is cold and windy here today, so this seemed perfect, and it is 🙂
And of course I totally forgot about gourmand day today…
You smell fabulous anyway!
I forgot about it too and almost decided to go with CdR, but I wore that on Monday and wanted something stronger. You smell great though!
I’m going with Aftelier Cacao. Jasmine, orange, and chocolate.
That’s nearly a classic by now! I should try it again.
Mmmm that sounds good!
Sounds absolutely lovely!
I’m embarrassed to admit I have to knowledge of Aftelier.
What should I start with?
Oh, I’m glad you’re wearing Egg Nog, because I’m wearing Orange Star, which smells like Tauerade plus orange soda, and I was just thinking “wait that’s not a food, it’s a drink.”
Hey, gourmand encompasses both, doesn’t it? If it was summer I’d be in Demeter Gingerale.
It must, because a lot of my “foody” scents actually smell like drinks (I have a whole mental category I think of as “eggnog scents”).
Fruity was as foody as the weather allowed, so i wore PdN’s tropical fruity A La Folie. Such a fun summery scent 🙂
Can I come over? Ha, I’d like to be a in a tropical fruit scent right now.
I don’t have many gourmand scents, so it was between Angel and Vetiver Tonka. I chose vetiver tonka, and it is perfect for today. I keep getting whiffs and being happy and warm.
Vetiver Tonka FEELS like vetiver you could eat — crystallized vetiver, like crystallized ginger! — so good choice.
I need to try this again – it’s not my favorite vetiver, but maybe I need to stop thinking of it as vetiver…
Nancyg, think of it as an otherwise sweet carmel gourmand made wonderful by the addition of copious vetiver.
I will – thanks, Missionista!
It’s definitely a vetiver candy.
Egg Nog is SO GREAT.
Early this morning I put on some Miel de Bois — honey is a food, right? — and then post-shower it was a toss-up between bakery Jeux de Peau and Turkish-delight Rahät Loukoum. The candy won, so it’s all sugar, all Serge, all day. Sweet!
I’m in Rahat Loukoum too! By the poll with the kids, temps approaching 100, so it should make no sense. But I just dabbed a little, and RL such a happy scent, not to mention a huge kid pleaser. It just feels great!
Whereas here in Eastern Canada it is really cold and snowing snowing snowing. It’s my day off and I’m not even going outside! Just staying in all cozied up with my Rahät, Internetting and practicing the piano.
Oh, in the snow RL works way better, no question about it. Enjoy!
Another Rahat Loukhoum here. Cheers!! 🙂
ARGH, almost forgot: NYC people, come to the in-person meetup/sniffa on Friday, January 16! We are now up to 6 attendees, and have room for 2-4 more. You can contact me at missionista at yahoo.
I could have done the gourmand theme for weeks so choosing one today was hard. I ended up going with Indult Tihota.
Surprised we have not seen a new Indult…
Original SOTD was Malle Geranium Pour Monsieur.Nice enough,but not FB-worthy.I tested YSL Parisienne L’Extreme on skin this afternoon,I guess it could pass as foodie?(Black cherries and all sorts of yummy,sticky-trashy fruitiness!lol).Bought a semi-vintage bottle(circa 1997) bottle of Diorissimo today.All in all:a good day.Happy Weekend everyone!
Black BERRIES…lol.I’ve been eating black cherries today as well…
Enjoy that Diorissimo!
Thank you!I plan to “wear more,buy less”…PLAN to.lol
Participating in the theme with Bond No. 9 Chinatown. Smells like a party. A party with a thousand spicy jam filled glazed donuts presented on a laquered wood platter.
That sounds really appealing right now.
D’oh! I forgot all about Chinatown. I could have worn that.
Happy Foody Friday, fellow fumeheads!!!!
I am wearing Lolita Lempicka EDP. Lovely licorice, vanilla, and vetiver. It is one of the few gourmands I can tolerate the smell of, and the only one I actually wear.
I like that one 🙂
That’s a nice one.
All my foodie scents have vanilla, and I have to be in the mood to enjoy a vanilla scent — and I’m rarely in the mood. Anyway, I combined Philosophy Pure Honey with Demeter Beeswax. Honey is a food — or at least a condiment.
You smell good 🙂 And I think honey counts!
Good morning all! I’m wearing Philosophy Fresh Cream today.
We’re *nearly* twins.
I’m in Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau today. The weather is terrible outside so this thing is actually hitting all the right notes right now, although it’s also making me crave actual buttered toast with a hot cup of tea.
JdP makes me want that, too – although usually I’m thinking of a toasted croissant with a dab of apricot jam rather than plain toast. 🙂
It makes me want buttered brioche.
Participating with L’Heure Bleue extrait de parfum. “this is Guerlain the virtual pastry chef at his best..”
Best sillage of all of my fragrances.
Definitely has a pastry component! Esp. in extrait!
Luca Turin compares it to Gianduja in his review in The Guide.
CB I Hate Perfume Gathering Apples is my choice. Better than my backup choice of DKNY Be Delicious. Although I often get compliments on the Be Delicious it seems a bit youthful – and not necessarily in a good way.
SOTD is Kenzo Jungle L’Elephant, which reminds me of kheer. Mmm, kheer! (Insert Homer Simpson sounds of drooling.)
I’ve been wanting to try this after reading Luca’s description of it in The Guide…
JlE makes me think of those wonderful candied “stuffed” raisin cookies. I think I’m the only person in the world who likes those.
Now going to google stuffed raisin cookies… because they sound good to me.
L’Elephant, even though it skates dangerously close to Opium territory, doesn’t quite tip over into it – instead it just tromps on being happy. I think it’s the dried-fruit notes.
http://www.browneyedbaker.com/filled-raisin-cookies/
I went for Thierry Mugler’s Angel. It’s the most gourmand fragrance I own, it’s not my favourite genre. I took the advice of Katie Puckrick and wear it quite low on my body as not to overwhelm myself and the ones around me.
That’s how I apply it, too! I like just getting little hints of it throughout the day.
SOTD is Traversee du Bosphore. I want a FB of this stuff. Has anyone compared Traversee du Bosphore to SL Rahat Loukhoum? They seem to be a similar theme …
https://nstperfume.com/2010/10/07/lartisan-parfumeur-traversee-du-bosphore-fragrance-review/
In the 4th paragraph there is a comparison
Thanks for the link!
Wait, that counts, with the leather? I may have overthought today’s theme.
Me too! I swapped away my bottle of Traversee du Bosphore and received a generous decant of it from another swapper. So glad I still have some!
4160 Tuesdays Over The Chocolate Shop. So I smell like chocolate filled, honey baked pastries. Yum.
Wow, now I am hungry!
Yum!
I’m in PdN’s Vanilla Intense, which is nice, but not full bottle worthy. I really didn’t like the top notes, it smelled really clovey to me, but the mid and drydown are lovely, if surprisingly faint (I’m comparing it to my beloved Patchouli Intense, which is a sillage bomb on me). If you like Atelier Cologne’s Vanilla Insensee, this one is also worth sniffing, and reads more unisex.
You grabbed me with the cloves, but lost me with the faint drydown. One less sample to buy.
I love cloves in perfume, but I’m not a fan of booze or patchouli as notes. How strong are the rum and patch in Vanilla Intense?
Cloves aren’t technically in the notes, but looking on the reviews at Fragrantica, I’m not the only one who picks them up here.
I don’t think the booze is too pungent, the patchouli is definitely noticeable, but I like the way Nicolai does patch – it’s dryer and more integrated, at least to me. But I also may have a very high threshold for it. I went to a hippie college, wore Coco Mad in my 20’s and love PdN Patchouli Intense! ; )
Diptyque Eau Duelle edp, heavy on the green vanilla.
Not to mention the whole gin and tonic thing at the opening, which I love!
Yes – the gin note is spectacular. It also smells a bit like licor 43, and then to me the dry down is pure creme soda. 🙂
Love that one
I have a sample of that one. I was thinking I only had a couple of things to choose from, but now when Vanille Noire wears off, I have options.
Totally forgot about Foody Friday, but I’m not a gourmand perfume lover and don’t really have any ( a few vanilla ones, but that’s it). It’s cold and the commute in was snowy and dark, but Fate Woman kept me awake. Went overboard spraying today, but who cares! It’s Friday!
It was FATE…Enjoy!
I’m wearing Queen Latifah Queen (the original in the red bottle), which is possibly more boozy than foody, but there you have it.
You smell amazing. There’s tangerine and vanilla in there too, so you’re really covering all the bases.
Still dithering. Can’t find what’s left of my 2ml sample of Kiss Me Tender (or did I use it up?). Not really in a vanilla mood, or I would go with Dame Perfumery’s Black Flower Mexican Vanilla. Daughter left for college this morning, so I could wear her B&BW Dark Kiss in her honor, or Hanae Mori. If I hadn’t used up my Prada Candy samples I could wear that.
However, I’m craving white florals today as I have been recently, so I think I will go with the fleurmand mashup of Vamp a NY.
I was thinking about dipping into my horded sample of L’Olfactive 129 that you gave me years ago…. it is my fav sweet fragrance. You also persuaded me that Hanae Mori is to be liked. It’s about as sweet as I can get. I almost bought a bottle this past summer b/c of you. The long drydown is very lovely. And sweet!
Hanae Mori IS sweet. Very. Seems like when I want to go sweet, I want sweeeeeeeeet. 🙂 (Prada Candy, anyone?)
You will smell wonderful I love Vamp!
First time participating and almost forgot about the gourmand theme too, but went with Ambre Narguile for SOTE 🙂
Hello and welcome! Good choice, of course.
Thank you! Love reading all the comments
SOTD on this very cold winter day: Indochine.
I smell like chai tea.
Keep warm, everyone!
Love that one! I had a sample that I wore on a first date. . .and eventually bought a FB. You smell wonderful 😀
Ooh, I just read some reviews and now I need to try it!
OH! We are scent twins today! You smell delish! 🙂
I’m going “old school Makeup Alley” for this one: Serge Lutens Rahat Loukhoum.
A lot of us have worn this today! You KNOW you smell good.
Cheers!
Botrytis! I smell like an exquisite honey cookie. And I love gourmand + white flowers combo here.
Love it: aka Noble Rot. This reminds of the line in American Hustle:
“…it’s like perfumey…but there’s also something rotten. I know it’s crazy but I can’t get enough of it. Historically, the best perfumes in the world…they’re all laced with something nasty. It’s true! Irving loves it. He can’t get enough of it. Sweet and sour…rotten and delicious. Flowers, but with garbage…”
Love that quote, love that movie!
An excellent quote.
However, I think in this case the name does not match the perfume. I read the article about botrytis cinerea in Wikipedia and the creators’ explanation of the name, but I still think they should have just named it Sauternes. Although maybe “botrytis” is meant as an allusion only a true oenophile would understand and appreciate.
Anyway, I get nothing like rot from Botrytis. It is a lovely and delicious scent, with boozy and floral notes to make it a bit more complex, and I love it as it is.
I worked at a wine shop long ago…
I don’t have much that falls into a foodie category. I thought about Prada Candy, or an iris-vanilla combo (Dior Homme or AC Silver Iris), but then I remembered the NST review of the new NARCISO that compared it to marshmallow spread…..so, I’m wearing this creamy sweet marshmallow gardenia as a warm blanket against the slushy mess that happens when you get 40 cm of snow in 2 days, then rain and above-freezing temperatures.
Wearing Angel today.
SOTD = Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille
I went big today with this boozy vanilla. Booze is food, right?
Yep, definitely food!
Prada Candy!!
Next Friday will be tough–I like many in the Prada line!
I agree. It was the Prada/Danielle Andrier scents that spun me down the rabbit hole, and I have many to choose from.
Lucky for us you can find them at good prices, too.
SOTD is Shalimar. It was a close call between Shalimar and Cuir de Russie.
I am wearing l’Antichambre Le Speculoos, which definitely fits the category.
That sounds YUMMY!I’m addicted to Spekulaas!!hehe!
I love those cookies.
Speculoos spread from Trader Joe’s is great stuff. Hadn’t known there was a speculoos perfume
That is great stuff. We ship it at great expense to a cousin in rural Iowa. I’ve never actually eaten it in cookie form.
Another spekulaas cookie lover here, scent sounds interesting . . .
Yummm to speculoos. My first encounter was in Brussels several years back!
My favorite gourmand is Frapin 1697 absolu, which smells like a wonderful spicy creme brulee with cognac top notes. But that’s now what I’m wearing today – I’m still immersed in last week’s “go big or go home” theme with Coty L’Origan.
On Grain de Musc, Denyse describes smelling original formula L’Origan at the Osmothèque as “an olfactory punch in the stomach – just utterly beautiful – then a strange, déjà-vu (or rather, déjà-smelled) sensation.” And not only because of its similarity to “L’Heure Bleue without the blues.” “Tone down the flowers, pile on the spices and resins (myrrh, benzoin, opoponax, labdanum), and you get Opium (1997). Turn on the tuberose and Christian Dior’s Poison (1985) pops up.”
Nonetheless, perhaps L’Origan is not out of place in this poll either. Barbara Herman of Yesterday’s Perfume finds it less gourmand than L’Heure Bleue, but she also detects “a mysterious, rooty, dusty, sweet smell — like a Wiccan biscotti.” 😉
I have a tiny bit of vintage extrait and should really wear it more often, because it’s lovely.
I love l’Origan in the fall, everything about it says “autumn” to me.
My SOTD is Jacomo 08 … spicy, milky chai while I birdwatch.
What kind of birds are you watching? Outside my frosty window we have a multitude of the usual winter birds at our feeders -cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, flickers and other woodpeckers, and many sparrows – but yesterday I was lucky and our elusive neighborhood fox paid a visit to our backyard and so did the Cooper’s Hawk.
A fox? Very cool! What a colorful and lively group of visitors you have at your feeder! I saw a Cooper’s Hawk near my office downtown a few days ago. It was eyeing a birdbath, looking for a meal, no doubt.
Today, we went to a place that is not only great for birding, but for viewing ferns and mushrooms, both of which I find to be quite charming 🙂 Here is a partial list:
-Four different thrushes: Varied Thrush , Hermit Thrush (adorable spotted belly), Western Bluebird, and American Robin
-Lincoln’s, Song, Fox, Golden-Crowned, and White-Crowned Sparrows
-Spotted and California Towhees
-Common Mergansers. The females and immatures have slicked-back auburn mohawks 🙂
– Belted Kingfishers. They have mohawks, too.
-Other birds: Red-tailed Hawk, Anna’s Hummingbird, Oak Titmouse, Bewick’s Wren, Yellow-rumpled Warbler, Pine Siskin, Lesser Goldfinch, White-breasted Nuthatch, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and Northern Mockingbird.
– We were serenaded by Pacific Tree Frogs.
Ain’t nature grand? 🙂
Yes, She sure is! We get hermit thrush, song, white-crowned and white-throated sparrows, towhees, nuthatches and titmice, lots of warblers, during spring migration. If we’re lucky, scarlet tanagers, Baltimore Orioles, hummingbirds, and the elusive Indigo Bunting if we’re really lucky. My favorite is the little brown wren, who arrives in the spring and stays all summer and serenades me with his bright and cheery song, literally from morning until night, while I garden.
I have yet to find a gourmand fragrance for myself that I like (not to mention my wife, who is generally not a fan of the foodie fragrances). Today I am wearing Note Fragrances ‘Midnight Leather’ and like the warmth on a frosty, slushy day.
This morning was a toss up between Havana Tobacco Vanille and Rahät Loukoum. Smoke or almond, vanilla or rose? Dear Serge won the day and now I smell sweeter then I feel.
Totally forgot. I’m not really into gourmands, so some psychologist would probably say it was more avoiding. (Really, not!) I had some new samples arrive in the mail, and put on Rozy Voile d’Extrait, mostly because I love roses, but there is HONEY in there. Along with something growly and deep. I’m not sure what that darker note is yet. I’m not bored! What is this note? I keep sniffing my wrists. . . Hope you are safe and warm, wherever you are. Be well.
I bought Rozy edp but I also want the voile d’extrait. My vacation budget when I went to LA this summer wasn’t big enough for both
Scent twins with Eleebelle in Tihota, but almost went with Shalimar Eau de Vanille Mexique (is that the name? I feel like I mangled it) but I’m trying to decide if the Indult is FBW. I’m afraid I might tire of it eventually, it is so sweet.
I went all in with Laura Mercier Almond coconut. It’s very satisfying when one craves something vanilla/foody.
Masque Milano’s Russian Tea
Oh, oh! I am really interested in trying that one! I filled my LuckyScent cart with samples, including this one, then I remembered I am on a no-buy until March or April…Dang and Double Dang!!
What is your favorite aspect of this of Russian Tea?
Library of Flowers True Vanilla…I like to put straight vanilla extract into my coffe and cream, so this counts, right?
Yep, it does!
What a great idea – I’m gonna try that this weekend!
Coffee Creamers – a confession. Normally, I would touch the sickeningly sweet coffee creamers but I am currently obsessed with a non-alcoholic Baileys Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer. The “Seasonal Favorites” label is giving me a little angst…almost like seeing DISCONTINUED.
Coffee!
Wearing Eau De Cartier Zeste De Soleil, a very chipper thing, if fleeting. Have had to reapply it already, and so perhaps it was a good thing I could only order the 100 ml.
This morning was super easy for me, esp. with the cold weather. I’m wearing Givenchy Les Mythiques Organza Indecence. I smell like cinnamony break pudding!
I went with Prada Candy today. This is the first gourmand that I really have fallen for and changed my bias against them. It doesn’t really seem to make sense but Candy seems kind of pretty and light on me where some of the other sugary confections I’ve tried made me feel like a big M&M…trapped in a hard sugar shell.
I’m not a big gourmand fan either, despite liking the original Lolita Lempicka and a few others. And Candy is sweet and buttery and rich, too, it’s not like it’s a “gourmand lite” sort of thing – but I really like it.
Ditto: not big on gourmands either AND I’m wearing Candy! After it settles down–5 or 6 hours, lol –the musk note takes over and it becomes very sexy!
Love Candy as well!
Today, I went for Slumberhouse Pear & Olive
Such a lovely, thick scent that never become sickly sweet or overpowering.
I love this one. This is the first fragrance I plan to buy for the new year. It’s such a unique fragrance. 🙂
Seeing patients today, so went with Prada Candy since it’s light. Might go with Jo Malone Bitter Chocolate and Orange tonight for something fun and different. I got it thinking it was so delicious and then haven’t worn it. Maybe it will wind up being a swap if it isn’t successful tonight.
I tried really hard to like the Bitter Orange and Chocolate, but it was a bit too sweet for me. One of the few JM’s that I can’t wear.
I finally unboxed my bottle of Angel Eau Sucree for this. Yum!
Love this one too!
Cafe Cacao from Envoyage. This is so yummy that it’s on my full bottle wishlist
I still have to try the Envoyage line!
Boy Robin, that Demeter eggnog sounds delightful. I remember that I was going to try that one out, but it slipped my mind. Is it a seasonal fragrance or do they have it year-round? I miss Christmas and drinking eggnog already 🙁 .
My SOTD is Wild Fig and Casis by JM. I also layered it with Brown Sugar and Fig from BBW. The two scents seem to go together quite well.
I really don’t have any gourmand fragrances, so a foodie one will have to do. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
They have it year round. One of the better $6 fragrances 🙂
$6?!? Pfft! Demeter are about $30+ here. PdN online for $42…. not much of a bargain in comparison! There seems to be so many Demeters unavailable too, we always get the same little boring range.
Wow, really not a bargain! Those are probably the full-sized bottles…here we can order little 10 ml minis, they’re quite useful.
I’m in a lovely seasalt-and-caramel cloud today – L’Ambre des Merveilles!
That’s a nice one! I haven’t worn it in a while so maybe I will break it out for tomorrow.
I’m wearing Aquolina Gold Sugar today. I smell pretty much like a creme brulee, and I kinda like it. Luckily I don’t get the plasticky burnt note I get in Pink Sugar. I found this in 30ml at TJ Maxx for $10, and I don’t know why, but I just felt weirdly drawn to it.
I totally forgot about my Demeter samples.. I could’ve worn one of those. I think I might have a sample of Eggnog. I also really like Demeter’s Earl Grey Tea.
I have Demeter Pumpkin Pie but I did not want to smell like one today!
I tried Gold Sugar at a NM outlet, but wasn’t sure I liked it $25 worth. It’s well worth $10 to occasionally smell like a pool of warm caramel, though. It seems like something that might layer really well with other things, too.
I really like Demeter’s Earl Grey Tea. I bought Gold Sugar for $10 at Ross or Marshall’s a few weeks ago, but I haven’t tried it yet. The burnt sugar note in Pink Sugar is horrible.
I’m exhausted, about an hour and a half shovelling snow from/around my car and the car doors were frozen, again!
Now I’m going to put on some Guerlain Tonka Imperial and lie down on the sofa for the rest of the evening.
Sampling Slumberhouse Sadanne Parfum Extrait which seems to be a sophisticated berry gourmand. Imagine walking in the woods of the Pacific Northwest and stumbling upon a sunlit patch of wild blackberries or strawberries. Now sit on a stump and inhale the resins of the trees and chew thoughtfully on your berries warmed by the sun…….
Sounds like heaven to me! There are quite a few from this line I would like to try…
That sounds fabulous! I’m going to promptly forget you ever said though. I must not buy a new perfume. I must not buy a new perfume. I must not…
you had to say it was in the Pacific Northwest… lol. now i have to get a sample!
I forgot about the theme this morning and wore Creed Royal Oud, which is just perfect for this extremely cold and dry weather. I was thinking I didn’t have anything food-y but now I realize I have Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, CB I Hate Perfume Lavendar Tea and Russian Caravan Tea, Fresh Lemon Sugar, Cartier Zeste de Soliel. I think I will just slather on more Crabtree & Evelyn English Honey & Peach Blossom lotion because it is delicious.
I. too, could wear gourmands for many weeks, they are favorites of mine once cold weather arrives. But as soon as I saw Robin’s macarons photo earlier this week, I knew immediately which scent I would wear today, the scent that takes me back to a delightful afternoon once spent at Laduree: L’Occitane Delice des Fleurs, all sugared rose petals and candied violets. Tomorrow we are having our last holiday get-together of the season and I will see how those macarons that have been patiently wating in my freezer (from Trader Joe’s, not Laduree) compare to the genuine ones from Paris.
I LOVE gourmands and have quite a few so today I am twinning with nancyg above and wearing PG Indochine- it’s all kinds of spicy sweet goodness that doesn’t tip into pastry territory.
There are so many others in the PG line I would love to try, but I’m afraid time and age, not to mention the bank account, are not on my side.
Hope every keeps warm and snug in this wicked cold and happy Friday to all =)
Inspired by that fabulouse Licorice Allsorts box earlier this week I am wearing Diesel Loverdose. Every time I wear it I am surprised by how much I like it and how cheerful it is.
Have a great weekend everybody!
Does Loverdose really smell like licorice? Must try!
I went with figs and caviar. Womanity. This is definitely a love it or hate it scent. I hated it at first but tried it again and it was love. It always gets me a compliment too which is nice.
A beautiful perfume that is very under appreciated.
That bottle, though, really holds me back…
I am wearing the fabulous Andy Tauer Rose Vermeille. Its probably my least favorite Tauer rose and it often seems too sweet, but today in this chilly weather the rosy lemony vanilla pastry smell is just right.
Sometimes gourmandy things *are* very nice in cold weather, aren’t they? I do like the fruit notes in it – the sunsetty orange and raspberry.
I am wearing some PG Praline de Santal. Yum.
SOTD is Yves Rocher Vanille Noire. Lovely dark vanilla, and fairly quiet, which was appropriate for having my teeth cleaned this afternoon. I was thinking the only other thing I had was La Maison de Vanille Vanille Givree des Antilles, and worried that it might be too flowery to count as a gourmand, despite its extreme sweetness, but I guess anything with a heavy presence of something edible counts, which opens up the field considerably. Now I’m trying to decide whether to reapply the VN later, or switch to something else. (Hey, Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay would also qualify. I should have made time to read more of this week’s SOTD posts to get a better idea of the scope of “gourmand.”)
All across the world, children and the young at heart are smiling in our fragrant wakes.
I like Vanilla Noire but it has no longevity on me. I have been tempted to buy the matching shower gel and lotion to see if I could get it to stick around!
I’m wearing Jaipur by Boucheron. Almost as good as eating warm peach cobbler!
Boucheron should be prosecuted for discontinuing beauties like Jaipur!
I had a sample (I know…) of Lolita Lempicka Le Premier Parfum Eau de Toilette Morsure d’Amour (I know!), so I tried it this morning, and turns out I like it. The opening is very fruity, with sour cherry and lemon, and it isn’t as sweet as the original LL. It isn’t a warm scent at all, but I had fun with it anyway on this very cold Friday.
Tilda Swinton Like This was my choice, I don’t wear it much in warmer weather but I’m enjoying it today!
Does Icy Hot count?? I’ve been wearing a patch all day on my neck and it’s all I can smell. I did try a little bit of Santal Majuscule – according to the notes it has chocolate it in… I totally fail foody friday.
I am wearing L’Artisan Parfumeur Mure et Musc Extreme. I don’t go for gourmands or fruity fragrances much, so this was the best I could do! I’ve never tried this before, but it was in their $20 sample tin, which I splurged on during the holiday sales. Not my usual style, but pleasant and not too sweet. Kind of reminds me of the same vein as the Hermes Merveilles series.
Writing too late, but yesterday I wore Angel Taste of Fragrance. I always crave dark bitter hot chocolate. It was perfect for a cold day 🙂
I’m another that completely forgot! I didn’t actually wear anything yesterday scentwise. I’ll go with the coconut cream pie like VS Coconut Passion today though to do a belated sync.
I wore Amouage Opus I, which wears like a cinnamon cookie on me. Caught a whiff of it just now. It has lasted through 24 hours and a shower. Small wonder I am choosy when to wear it, it’s nuclear stuff.
I wore Prada Candy, one of my favorite gourmands.
