Happy Thursday! If you have a free moment, do tell us your fragrance of the day.
I'm wearing Balenciaga Paris.
Reminder: this Friday, 3 April, is Chanel TNG: wear something by perfumer Olivier Polge. If you don't have anything by Olivier Polge, do feel free to wear an older Chanel fragrance, or skip it altogether. Update for those of you who did not watch Star Trek: TNG is The Next Generation.
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.
Chanel No.5 Eau Premiere, and some Enlevement au Serail on my arm. I feel quite gloriously fragrant!
Two of my favorites! I can imagine that they smell quite nice together.
They both waft so delicately so I get alternating whiffs of EP and EaS.
You smell magnificent! Good choices both.
Wow, two beautiful perfumes.
I’ve been teleported into the bakery today, holding a plate of hot buttered toast with apricot jam. Jeux de Peau by Uncle Serge.
Yum … Now I’m hungry!
I like Jeux de Peau, but I can’t take it seriously. Smells like a toasted croissant with jam to me (like your toast, but with the butter on the INside!) as well.
Today I’m wearing TF Shanghai Lily. I’ve fallen for this hard. And I don’t even like Lily that much! Anyhow, I have two questions: (1) is there anything out there similar to this for a more reasonable price (I know others have mentioned DK Gold). (2) I am curious what Tom Ford other people think is worth the $$$
I very much enjoy my decant of Shaghai Lily but due to the high price will probably never spring for a FB. I think Shanghai Lily has some similarities to the modern version of Opium, and I do have FBs of Sahara Noir and Violet Blonde (no regrets).
I just bought a bottle of violet blonde. It’s been discontinued so of course I needed it!
I liked Shanghai Lily myself. I thought it was like a mashup of the spicy lily of DK Gold and the spicy-creamy woods of DK Black Cashmere… but since I own both of those, I didn’t see the need to buy the TF.
The only other TFs I own are: a big bottle of (discontinued) Black Orchid Voile de Fleur, which I lOVE, in contrast to original Blk O which I can’t stand on myself, though when I’ve smelled it on a guy it seemed just right. Plus a 5ml decant of Ombre de Hyacinth, which I bought blind and shouldn’t have, and one of those tiny 4ml minis of Black Violet, which I bought on ebay after draining two samples.
I remember Octavian writing about how captivating Shanghai Lily was not long before he closed his blog, 1000 Fragrances.
You could try TDC De Bachmakov, which is somewhat less expensive and well-regarded.
It’s easy to find decants of Shanghai Lily, for example, on ebay. Would you really ever use a whole bottle? It might at least be worth seeing if you still love it so much after using up a decant.
I tried TF Shanghai Lily only once and thought it was very, very lovely. But my lily cravings are pretty well covered with what I already have and I need big bottles like I need extra weight, so I’m not getting any Shanghai Lily. However, if someone would give me a bottle I’m sure I would wear it a lot.
Chanel 1932 today. It’s pretty, but has already disappeared from my skin after only 2 hours. Just as well, since I have a big meeting to go to at lunchtime, but this is one where I might not even manage to drain the sample.
Hey, that was fast! I don’t think it’s quite that short lived on me, but it’s no powerhouse.
Yeah, it’s fleeting. I think I get about 3 hours out of the edt. Gorgeous while it’s there, though.
I can barely smell it even after first spraying it on. Same with 31 Rue Cambon. I’m sure it’s lovely, but I can’t detect it at all.
I can’t smell Nahema, isn’t that weird?
Oh man, i over sprayed that one last year, and have not recovered. It is pretty, but i am trigger shy 🙂
Insolence EDP. I match all the violets outside!
I’ve been meaning to ask, what does TNG stand for?
Oh, google helped – The Next Generation.
Yes, sorry, obscure Star Trek reference and I should have written it into the description!
And just added above…
Obscure?! 😉 I forget sometimes that some people are not Star Trek fans.
Exactly.
Well, then you’ve got permutations of ST fans too. I loved TOS but could never hack TNG. 🙂
I had the same thought, but you’re right – not everyone is so nerdy. 🙂
What is Star Trek?
jealous of your outdoor violets! I think it means The New Guy, young Polge taking over for Polge pere. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
That would work, too :)!
Wearing Serge Lutens L’orpheline.
SOTD is Balenciaga Rosabotanica from a carded sample. Olivier Polge was one of the co-creators of this one. It’s a nice enough rose, but I have others I like better so won’t be purchasing this one.
Scent twins!
Yup, tomorrow’s project has me wishing I had some Rosabotanica–I didn’t like it enough to buy, but after Spicebomb (which I love but am not too chuffed to wear when we are FINALLY in spring perfume weather!!), it’s the Olivier Polge I like best, I think.
(Actually I guess it’s a tough call with Balenciaga Paris, which I do think is lovely but sometimes feels too tame; Rosabotanica feels comparatively less beautiful but more interesting.)
Plus I find that Paris has outstanding lasting power, whereas Rosabotanica is pretty much gone on me after a few hours.
I’m wearing Chamade (saving my one Olivier Polge creation for tomorrow).
YAY CHAMADE!
Ditto!
Perfect spring scent!
In French Leather by Memo today.
Got my bottle of terracotta yesterday and it’s fab!
I wasn’t sure what do to with my TF Sahara Noir sample so I am wearing it like an attar
French Leather is quite pretty, isn’t it. I’m not a rose person but with the leather it’s very nice. Bergdorf gave me a generous sample of this.. shocker!
Wow! You are lucky- should shop along side you
SOTD is Dior Homme Cologne. Took a break from wearing Amouage Interlude Man 3 days in a row, but love love LOVE it.
I love the interlude woman-
Doesn’t get much love but I find it to be fab
I love it too!
Mmmm, SSS Rose Musc. Every time I wear it, I like it more.
Rose Musc is my favorite SSS fragrance. I love that labdanum.
Herb Man by Dame Perfumery….I love the drydown on this one. Thank you to all the NSTers who recommended this perfume company! So far I am loving the four samples I received (so much so that I purchased eight trial sizes , four unsniffed, two days ago 🙂 !!)
Did you get Dark Horse?
I think it’s amazing that you can get a travel spray for $10 including shipping and three more samples! I got a sample of Herb Man with my last order, and looking forward to sampling it.
Yes!!!! Actually when I recounted I purchased nine, not eight! The samples that were sent to me were Mexican Vanilla, Passion Fruit, Orange Blossom& Vetiver, Herb Man and Desert Rose. I ordered all trial sizes that were available (including Dark Horse as it sounded interesting) except the Desert Rose and the two others that were out of stock which are now back in stock…with the free shipping I am tempted to go back and order those two as well!
I think it’s very smart of Dame to offer the 7ml at a bargain price. 7ml is just enough to get hooked! And their fbs are also so reasonable.
Still enjoying the nutmeg infused dry down from the Black Flower Mexican Vanilla I put on at bedtime. It goes on like a cupcake bomb, but the dry down is beautiful.
I just put in for a travel spray of Dark Horse from the same perfumer as BFMV. The notes look yummy: bergamont, lemon, cinnamon, jasmine, carnation, rose, cloves, guaiac, vetiver, vanilla and musk. Has anyone tried Dark Horse?
I’m looking forward to sampling T’aif later this morning.
You smell fantastic! I have been wearing Mexican Vanilla for the past two days! When I get my Dark Horse we will compare notes! I also really liked the Orange Blossom one as it was very light and refreshing and uplifting to me…..I liked the Desert Rose but I have enough rose scents for now….I am looking for something different and so far from what I sampled Dame Perfumery fits the bill…and I really love the prices and free shipping!
So do you my dear. I was skeptical about BFMV because I’m generally not really into gourmand fragrances, but this one is such a sexy comfort scent. My husband really likes it on me, so that nudged me into giving it more of a chance. I will definitely post about Dark Horse when it gets here. Another good thing about Dame is that the shipping is lightening fast. I think I got my BFMV within 3 days of ordering it.
I need to sample this line!
Starting early with Olivier Polge Friday. Tomorrow it will be the incomparable Dior Homme but today Bvlgari Au The Rouge which is a very interesting Polge composition that either works for you or does not, layered with Bvlgari Black. Let me explain exactly how I do this so these two very different compositions work together. Put Bvlgari Black all over your body, I do this in my underwear. I have to use a lot because it does not have much longevity on me but your mileage may vary. After dressing, spray Au The Rouge in your hair or on your clothing or do the generous perfume cloud and walk through it! Lovely!
I like Au The Rouge much much better than Au The Vert!
I just got to test Au The Rouge this week b/c of a lovely swapper. I decided to make 2015 the year of tea notes research. I do like it very much as well. I kind of missed this when it came out. I think it is very FBW, and it’s really inexpensive at the discounters. I do with it had a little more oomph, but it’s definitely refreshing.
I love that you even discovered this approach! Was it a happy accident, or do you actively think up new ways to wear your perfumes?
I think layering is a bit of a misnomer because I do not often put one perfume directly on top of another. The spraying with abandon while just in underwear is how one gets away with strong fragrances at work! It just seemed a natural approach to layering…….
Couldn’t help myself this morning… wearing, again, Seville a l’Aube.
This one lasts all day on me and it’s so Spring-y. Yum!
Such a pretty one. One of the VERY few OB scents that doesn’t smell like soap on me.
It’s such a versatile perfume, too. Which is surprising, in a way, because the idea of it is so unorthodox.
Serge Lutens De Profundis from a teensy sample that arrived yesterday, – I’m seriously smitten already and so is my husband (who has a surprisingly discriminating sense of smell). A FB is probably not in my future, but decants? Yes please – ordering today!
I really like that one a bunch. You smell both interesting and terrific.
I am wearing Chanel Cuir de Russie today.
I also thought TNG meant The New Guy.
Sorry! Works either way though.
You smell perfect.
Wearing a scent I almost sent away for swap meet: Lolita Lempicka L’eau en Blanc. I hadn’t worn it in a year but now I’m on day 2 and I bet I could wear it again tomorrow. I need to be in the mood for it, it’s absurdly tender and dainty. But the violets and Jordan almonds combo is really working for me at the moment.
Oh that sounds yummy! I happen to love almonds in my perfume (and bitter almond essential oil added to body products 🙂 !!) Pacifica once had a jasmine almond EDP called Tunesian Jasmine which I used to spray on my pillow at night..sadly it was discontinued 🙁 !!
Jasmine almond sounds really nice.
I love that one.
I must try this.
I thought TNG meant The New Guard, replacing the old guard.
SOTD– Soivohle Lilas et Narcissus
Hey, that works too. (and seriously, none of you watched Star Trek?)
No 😉
You should 🙂
I loathe all scifi stuff, sorry, 🙂
Ha! We’ll allow it.
I watched ALL the Star Treks (the original, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager)….I wouldn’t say I am obsessed but I always did enjoy them 🙂
I did watch Star Trek but it wasn’t what popped into my head when I saw the abbreviation
ST TNG all the way, Robin! The only other show that I’ve seen every episode of is Battleship Galactica (the new one, not the original). OK, I’ve also seen all of the pre-quel Caprica, but that didn’t last very long, unfortunately. I think there is something profound to be learned about what makes them so compelling.
One of these days I will watch Battleship Galactica — I have never seen a single episode, new or old. Which actually means my nerd credentials are suspect at best, right?
My fav and first love in outerspace sci-fi is the Buck Rogers with Gil Gerard!!! I want them to re-do campy Buck Rogers with Jon Hamm…..
The New Battlestar is great – I think any ST Next Gen fan would love it!
Buck Rogers with Gil Gerard was great!
Only watched TNG, every once in blue moon cause I had a wee crush on Wil Wheaton way back in the day…..lol.
He’s still a nerd with an online show, Tabletop..LOL and no, I don’t have a crush on him anymore. I just heard about it from some board gamer nerds.
And he has a great blog…
I didn’t get the reference to TNG, but I did watch the Next Generation very faithfully and watched all the TNG movies too. I don’t consider myself a Trekkie, but I love sci-fi. Don’t get me started on the old Quantum Leap or Doctor Who! Soo… big question is: what would the dashing Jean Luc Picard dab on his bald spot? I’m thinking some earthy Goutal like Eau de Monsieur, Eau de Sud, or Sables.
I too did see TNG, but the reference completely escaped me! I picture Captain Picard in Eau de Guerlain.
Nearly certain we’ve had a long thread before on Picard, but can’t find it! Any of those would work, but I do like the idea of Sud.
Oooh, AnnS, good question. I see (smell?) Picard in something that’s heavy on the vetiver.
Robin, FWIW, I got the TNG reference. I just assumed everyone on the internet was also a ST fan. Interesting to read the comments and see how wrong I am.
I’m a proper science fiction/fantasy nerd, but I read more than I watch. During the TNG original run I was still behind the Iron Curtain and I’ve somehow never gotten around to watching it (it’s quite a commitment). I’ve seen most of the TOS, though, and somewhat heretically like the new movies, too.
ST TNG, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly! The women of Firefly clearly wore perfume…
I’m in Heure Exquise, which seems to be mentioned a lot around here lately.
Lovely stuff.
There’s a perfume that has stood the test of time.
Beautiful, one of my swoon at first sniff scents.
You smell so lovely! HE is very swoon-worthy.
Like I mentioned up a little ways, I just couldn’t get into TNG. Watched the first half of the first season with college friends who were also ST fans, but then… eh. Just stopped, and didn’t miss it. It’s entirely possible that the writing picked up and became compelling later into the series.
Because I have to have SOME regular way of getting through my ridiculous sample pile, I’ve instituted Testing Thursday. Today I’m rolling with my brand-new Teo Cabanel sample pack. I’d already tried five of the eight, but the sample pack is very cool and quite reasonably priced (about 10 euro at the TC website).
I’ve loved Alahine for a long time now. Still enjoy Oha and Julia, and when my summery roses (YSL Paris Pont des Amours and PdR Rose d’Ete) are exhausted, I’m going to spring for a bottle of Early Roses, which was everything I wanted DelRae Coup del Foudre to be. Meloe is a citrusy thing that just isn’t my style.
With regards to what I’m testing today, Hegoa isn’t doing anything for me (again, citrus not my thing). Nor is Barkhane, which I expected not to like, and I don’t, no big surprise (oriental woodies also not my thing). Lace Garden, though, is right up my alley and it is flat gorgeous. White floral lovers, check it out. SO beautiful… it’s not a particularly BIG white floral, either.
As I said to someone else the other day, pretend the first season and most of the second didn’t happen. It’s what the rest of us do.
I skipped the first season but recently went back to watch some of it… I laughed and laughed! Definitely not the place to start with TNG. I love TNG but there are some baaaad episodes scattered throughout.
DS9 is my favorite, though!
I am only familiar with Alahine and it is gorgeous!
10 euro only? Uhoh this is tempting!
Oh, is Lace Garden included in the sample pack now??? I *so* want to try that.
Just FYI you can often locate FBs of Early Roses on ebay for a fraction of the list price.
It is! That is, it’s not IN the sample pack (the other 7), and I spent a good three minutes fuming because LG was the one I really wanted anyway… and then dove back into the envelope and found it separately wrapped.
I have to work through my other two bottles of light roses before I will allow myself to buy another. 🙂 But I’m definitely not above ebay.
Early Roses is really well done.
Finally tore myself away from TF Violet Blonde and put on some Miss Dior (“original”). Once it settles it falls into my own interpretation of Angela’s “Easy” cathegory. Happy Easter everybody!
Miss Dior (original) feeling “easy” — will you be my life coach?? 🙂
Lol, I wouldn’t count on it, might be a case of anosmia :).
I was a huge Next Gen fan in the early 90’s. Sometimes when my husband or I want tea we command “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot”. I am such a nerd!!
SOTD – Burberry Brit Rhythm for Her. (SOTE was Chanel no. 5 Eau Premier – lovely)
Now that I am also a tea nerd, it amazes me that’s all he had to say on the subject when he had a REPLICATOR after all. What sort of Earl Grey??
Similarly…what I would do with a Holodeck!
YES — that was the best part of ST TNG even though they rarely used the opportunity the same way I would. Actually, they would have never gotten me back out of the holodeck. And the counselor really by all rights should have spent more of her time helping people “get over” the holodeck.
I also command “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot”. 🙂
SOTD Donnna Karan Black Cashmere. Enough substance and fortitude to carry me through this day ; )
Today I’m in the vetiver goodness of Sycomore. I also received a bunch of samples yesterday, so I’m also testing Safran Troublant, which I’m really enjoying.
Sycomore is so gorgeous. I love how velvety the vetiver gets in the far drydown.
Me too – sometimes it makes me sneeze, but not today.
SOTD for Throwback Thursday is vintage Je Reviens, always for me a moody, melancholy ‘blue” spring favorite, perfect for today’s warm but rainy and stormy weather.
I’m wearing Jo Malone Birch & Black Pepper and I like it, although I would like it even more if the tarry opening lasted longer.
Me too. But the drydown lasts quite long on me, i was really surprised.
Wearing Rosabotanica today, from a sample as well. When I first tried it on the launch, I really didn’t care for it. Now I can understand the herbal/minty opening better, and I don’t find the rosy element as sweet as I first thought…..but I still don’t think I’d need to own it. However, I’m enjoying the crisp opening and fresh take right now, under mostly blue skies but with a cold morning tinge still in the air.
I am wearing Un jardin apres la mousson. I really like the top and drydown, but the middle can be a little melon overload. This is one case where I like the Miami heat and humidity to rush a scent through its paces.
We had a temperature here, in the part of the upper Midwest where I live, of 83 degrees yesterday (before storms arrived) and today it won’t be quite as warm, but I am wearing Bruno Acampora Blu for a nice blast of tuberose, which makes me think of summer.
On the fringe of a storm so cold, wet and windy…Lumiere Blanche for comfort.
Always helps.
I was going to wear Balenciaga Paris tomorrow, but why not today? It’s perfect for spring. I like it much better than any mainstream perfume I’ve tried since Paris came out. Not that I’ve tried that many, but I’ve been disappointed by some of the popular ones, such as Bottega Veneta. Perhaps there are some new aromachemicals that my nose doesn’t like.
FYI, I’d been planning to get one of the adorable 1-oz bottles of Paris as soon as I could find it at discount, and I’m pleased to see that it is showing up on FragranceNet. 😀
You know, I tried Chanel Misia yesterday, and I like Balenciaga Paris much better. Misia has a more of that cloudy floral musk. Paris seems more spritely and has a bit more feeling. I think it’s underrated, i.e., doesn’t get mentioned as often as it deserves.
Those 1 oz/30 ml bottles are truly adorable. I picked one up at Winners last fall – almost didn’t, and I’m so glad that I did. At first I found the violet too sweet, but I particularly love the woody dry down, and I love how well it lasts on me.
I’m going to wear either Balenciaga Paris or “old” chanel tomorrow. I agree too with your comments about BP. I can smell that it is my favorite treatment of violets b/c it focuses on the green peppery leafy part. It does have a snappy green-ness to it that counterbalances the creamy cosmetic accord. It keeps it from being too linear or powdery-suffocating. I’ve often thought of buying a bottle, but I have a very large decant of it. It would be nice to have some shower gel though!
SOTD = Chanel No. 19 EDP
I succumbed to a FB after all the exchanges regarding EDT, EDP, extrait, vintage and the dreaded Limited Edition. i’m glad I bought it – it is a candidate for my Desert Island (with 4 seasons or maybe 6 seasoms) collection.
Love the edp – which sometimes doesn’t get appreciation from perfumistas because it’s sweeter and a bit more floral. I think there’s room for both it and the vtg edt in my wardrobe. 🙂
I generally don’t like florals but this one is great and not very floral to me, as compared to Carnal Flower and some of the other spring florals.
No 19 is definitely a deserted island fragrance! It seems like the only bottle you are missing is the vintage and only on ebay Voile de Parfum!
A stink eye on you if I end up getting this!
😉 As if! You’ll be smelling so good you’ll forget all about it!
You’re preaching to the choir when it comes to No. 19! I just added a decant of No. 19 Poudree (via swap) to my No. 19 collection. Although I don’t like it as much as the original (EDT, EDP, or Parfum), I’m glad to have it.
I have a decant of No.19 Poudre from a swap. It is more irisy than the EDP and I love it as well!
Wearing Acqua di Parma Rosa Nobile for the first time. Very nice!
I am so dying to know what this smells like. Reviews are all over the place, but I’m not one to dismiss a good rose. Does it smell a lot like vintage YSL Paris as some people comment? Or is it just a fresh sheer rose? Please comment!!!
I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t know what Paris smells like! I’d better try it I guess. Ann, this spring I’m trying many different fresh roses. MFK A la Rose knocked me out. Rosa Nobile is similar. The quality of the rose is high. It lasts a long time. It merges well with your skin. Keep in mind this is my first full day wearing it so I don’t have the words for it yet. It’s the closest to MFK A la Rose that I’ve smelled. The MFK uses superlative ingredients. Some people are put off by the white musk in it, but I like it. RN is much more affordable.
See if you can sample both of these.
The Candy Perfume Boy loved it.
I saw Candy Boy’s review and I tend to like what he says. But if you wander over to basenotes it’s a bit of a mix. I’ll just have to hunt down a sample of my own. I love a nice rich rose for sure!
Husband LOOOOVES TNG, I don’t. But ya, I do know “Earl Grey, hot”. Also, “Shut up Wesley!” You guys have seen the Christmas video, “Make it So?” Any TNG fan should watch it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrG4JnrN5GA
Too funny – thanks for sharing!
SOTD is (Luckyscent) Decennial Santal Sacre. It doesn’t last long but I really like it — dry sandalwood with incense/smoke. A very quiet scent.
SOTd is Ed Hardy Love & Luck. Not as trashy as it sounds – just sweet and fun, though it is almost too sweet for me now. IThikn my sweetness tolerance has decreased. I used to wear CSP Vanille Coco, which would be way over the limit now!
Big TNG fan here as well, used to watch reruns in college almost every day. It’s fun watching them again on Netflix too. I didn’t watch them in order as they aired, so didn’t notice that Season 1 was so bad – will have to go back on Netflix and see which episodes those are.
Do — it was all bad: the plots, the writing, the acting, the direction, the special effects! But I watched it anyway, and then was pleasantly surprised when it started to get better.
My SOTD is Diptyque Essences Insensees. It is finally kind of spring like today, the snow is melting, the birds are chirping, the sun is shinning. I wanted something lovely and chill, and EI is both.
SOTD is Terracotta. I moved the bottle to a more prominent display location because I love how round it is. Crazy, I know, but I am finding the bottle very attractive and I’m not really an “all about the bottle” kinda gal.
The scent itself is holding me hostage, but in a good way. I don’t know if this is really a “different” type of perfume or if it’s just different for me, as my “collection” is totally lacking floral dominant scents. I don’t like florals. I keep telling myself that. But I am REALLY liking this one. A whole lot.
Just when you thing you might have some insight into your scents choices, along comes a perfume that confuses you.
I *love* it when I’m sure I don’t like xyz, and then I find a scent that proves me totally wrong!
That is one of the things encouraging me to keep testing new stuff :)!
I agree – that’s the whole reason we all keep sniffing It’s fun to be surprised.
FWIW, I got the TNG reference. 🙂 I watched it and DS9, thought I don’t know that I watched either super-regularly.
I binged my way through Battlestar Galactica a few months ago on Netflix. So good.
Anyway, SOTD is Byredo 1996.
I also binge watched BG and had total withdrawals when it was over. Tried Caprica but didn’t love it as much. I was captivated by the character Starbucks – such a badass!
Bvlgari The Rouge. I wasn’t too keen on it in the beginning (I bought it unsniffed for very little $$) but it is growing on me. I used to prefer The vert Extreme but I now find it a bit too much.
Of course, Bvlgari Black is the best from this line. LOL!
Weird. Lots of fragrances I actively dislike from Polge Jr. The exception is Balenciaga Paris, which I have even bought as a gift for others I find it so easy to wear and just plain pretty.
SOTD is Tom Ford’s Champaca Absolute. I have a decant…gosh it is nice!
I watched the original Star Trek when it aired, but had moved on to other stuff by TNG. Tomorrow’s scent will be Balenciaga Paris, which just by happenstance I got as a freebie from a Sephora.com order. I checked and I have no other Olivier Polge fragrances.
SOTD is Patou Sublime, from the swap. I smell the ylang and the civet but there is also something sour, the same as I smelled in Pharrell Williams Girl. It’s kind of a deal-breaker for me. Too bad, I so wanted to love this.
I need to try my sample of Girl. Haven’t managed to test Sublime, though.
Girl was a scrubber for me, right there in Sephora. I just couldn’t deal with that sour note. If you want some Sublime, email me at my username at aol.
SOTD is Shiseido’s White Rose. My Great Maiden’s Blush rose bush is beginning to show signs of spring life and Shiseido has to have used this rose in its formula, the scents are identical and completely glorious.
I would love to test that one, but I’m afraid I’d fall for it, and it’s SO hard to get/expensive. Gah.
Rundholz 1968 for me today. For tomorrow, I will either wear Balenciaga, Misia or Cuir Beluga, depending on my mood.
