Friday scent of the day 11/27

Posted by Robin on 27 November 2015 155 Comments

Diorissimo, Rene Gruau

It's Black Friday! Stay safe, people. As our community project today, we are giving thanks: wear a perfume you're thankful for. (suggested by thegoddessrena)

What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.

Duh, I'm in Diorissimo! Thank you, Edmond Roudnitska, for spending all that time in your garden smelling muguet. And I'm extra thankful: I have two concentrations of vintage, both sent to me as gifts by very kind people.

Reminder: next Friday, 12/4, wear an incense fragrance.

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.

    Jo Malone Black Vetyver Cafe for Black Friday! Still grumpy that they discontinued this, but slightly pacified by the new Herb Garden collection Candy Perfume Boy posted about yesterday. The perfumer is Anne Flipo (who did my beloved Mimosa Pour Moi) instead of the usual Christine Nagel, so I’m feeling cautiously optimistic!

      Black Vetyver Café keeps coming up in the past couple of days – wish I’d known about it before being discontinued. Sounds lovely – and you must smell great.

      I did not know about the new Herb Garden collection – since Mimosa pour Moi is possibly my favourite perfume I shall have to explore – thank you for alerting me!

      That set does sound compelling…but JM so often lets me down! You smell great, that’s one of the better ones. Wish they’d bring it back.

    I’m thankful for all my perfumes, and today I’m just test driving Ambre Oud, which smells mostly of lavender to me.
    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

          I’m rather enjoying it, although I think it’s far removed from her best.

    ahhhh. I should have gone all out since my officemate is still out of town, and it’s very light on people here. Didn’t see this, so I’m actually in Bottega Veneta on my wrists – rubbed from a magazine and Mimosa and Cardamom spritz on my neck from a sample. Should have stayed with my original plan of drenching myself in Tolu. But the weather in NYC seems freaky warm so that just didn’t feel right.

    Speaking of Tolu, is anyone taking advantage of the OJ sale today – today only during London time? I did last year, and the only thing tempting me is blind buy of Vanille D’Iris, but not enough to go for it. I’d consider a split of the travel sprays, if there were others who needed enabling….

        The travel sprays are $106. So, I did the math last night – unless you are spending more than $280 you still pay shipping. So, basically it’s a wash. You get 20% off on the travel sprays yet you pay shipping. So, you get the travel sprays for basically what is free shipping. Let me know if you are thinking about it. I’d go halfsies or if you only want to part with one travel spray, I can do that.

      Oh nooo – yesterday I hear about the new FM coffret and today this. All very tempting and very bad for the wallet! Shall go off and investigate in a cautious way…

      Having read others comments, I am in the UK so does that mean I can order and then send decants? Not sure if that helps with the shipping but let me know if it does as happy to try to do this (have never done a decant but am sure I can learn).

        I think the travel sprays are pretty easy to send. I bought a full bottle last year also, and there seemed to be more customs stuff around it. I got the travel sprays quite easily.

      YES!
      In fact, wearing Tolu in celebration of the bottle I just bought. Also, purchased samples, including Vanille Iris which has me very excited. I ordered 3 of the 4 “World” scents, too–excluding Qi, hoping that it’s hints at being a subtle, skin scent would suggest it doesn’t have enough oomph for me. Would be very interested to know if anyone has tested it and can confirm!

    No perfume just yet, but in the spirit of this community project, I may wear Aftelier Secret Garden. It is one of the few all natural perfumes that lasts more than 30 minutes on me, and it smells like real perfume, not just a random mixture of essential oils. It really is very pretty, I can wear it any time of year, it never feels inappropriate, it has enough presense that I can smell it on myself, yet is subtle enough not to offend the perfumephobes.

    I’m thankful for Iris Silver Must today. Purchased before the exclusives were less exclusive but a sweet but surprised friend. I remember when I first wore it: she lived in Galveston and we took a long walk on the beach. I was stubbornly wearing jeans.

    I love the image! It was my favorite header image. I can’t remember the article but it was one of Angie’s non reviews.

    TGIF!
    I am wearing Mon Parfum Gold by M. Micallef.
    I am thankful for what this fragrance stands for, friendship that stands the test of time and distance. (It is a nice fragrance! It’s just the other aspect is much more significant!)
    My best friend and I, although share many things in common, when we are different, we tend to find our selves at the polar ends of things (we just agree to disagree and it’s quite interesting to us how it’s always the case). We used to live two blocks down from each other so we pretty much meet up everyday for coffee, meals, shopping etc. Now because of work, we live in different cities so we only see each other like, twice a year now.. Boo. :(
    One of our differences is perfume.
    Imagine my surprise when I opened my mail box to find this birthday present last year! My friend actually spent days researching and looking for scents that I might like and tested them all out various times to get to this one.

    First and foremost….Thankful that I am blessed enough to be able to enjoy perfume, and purchase the occasional little amount. Perfume is a very low priority in life. It’s a luxury, and I hope I always remember that! (Considering my income vs expenses, that shouldn’t be too hard to remember! LOL)

    Second, THANK YOU, NST blog, for such a well written and informative place to come and learn more about fragrance! I love to come here and see what’s happening in the perfume world.

    Third, thankful that I’m finally learning what fragrance notes I love, and how to discover new scents by description and note lists. I apparently love a good rose, patchouli, and powdery classic. I love girly scents! The gourmand ones are faves too, but I’m narrowing down the notes that really get my attention. Wearing Lumiere Noire pour Femme today, and thinking how perfect the rose scent is. Wow!

    Have a great weekend everyone! :)

      Completely agree with your sentiments! It seems perfume lovers are constantly evaluating their tastes, and actively seeking to identify their likes and dislikes, and the reasons behind those feelings. That’s what makes it a hobby, and is part of why I enjoy it. :)

    I’m wearing vintage Mitsouko. I’m thankful that there’s still some of this stuff floating around, and I’m thankful that I was lucky enough to find some. Mine comes from about the seventies I think, an edc and extrait set (edc in the coin shaped bottle, extrait in the umbrella). Top notes are a little bruised with that maple-syrup quality you get in old perfumes occasionally, but the drydown is just fine as far as I can tell. Jean Harlow was a famous wearer of Mitsouko; so was Charlie Chaplin. I can see them both in it. It’s pretty much Harlow in a bottle.

    I actually forgot it was Friday this morning but I dont think it wouldve changed my choice. I’m having a little love affair with Reem Acra, so Im making the most of the love while it lasts, for tomorrow I may change my mind ;-) (notes are bergamot, peach, orange blossom, ginger, jasmine, lily of the valley, peony, amber, cedar, patchouli, musk)
    Im grateful that despite our plummeting dollar, some online discounters are still cheap and ship free. Yay! (after just putting in my yearly Luckyscent order Im extra grateful for these cheap delights to balance things!) :)

    I also just heard that an old friend has died. I hadn’t seen her in almost 20yrs and I know she’s had a rough trot of things. She died the night before her sons highschool graduation. It was a long time ago, but we were very close once. Im grateful too for old friends and warm memories.

    Commando so far until post-swim, but I’m feeling an Eau des Merveilles day coming on. This was one that dragged me down the rabbit hole, and still the one that I’d be happy to wear any day, any season, any occassion. It always helps me feel easy, comfortable, happy and strangely…Italian. For that, I am thankful. ;-)

    I’m thankful for Germaine Cellier’s life and work and will later wear either Fracas or Bandit. I think she was a genius and the context of her achievements makes them even more remarkable. The perfume industry of 40s and 50s wasn’t the most feminist of places, I suspect.

    Happy Friday! I am in 31 Rue Cambon, which I associate with the holidays. Robin, have you noticed any turning in your vintage Diorissimos? I have a couple, too, and have been long wanted an expert nose to sniff the older one (60s) because I’m not sure if it’s off, or just different than the more modern (80s, I think) juice I have. If you will email me I will send you some. enkessler@gmail.com.

          Interesting! I have to admit that my favorite JM, by some distance, is Blackberry & Bay, which came not only after the EL purchase, but also after Jo left the line altogether… but, still curious. I love coriander in perfume so even just for that one, I’d be glad to get to smell the line!

    SOTD is turkey — DH is making stock from the remains of yesterday’s bird :) Also, the remains of yesterday’s Dries Van Noten — for a quiet scent it sure is persistent.

    I’m thankful for health and happiness, good friends and good cheer. Happy for the joy that perfume brings to my life, and thankful for the pleasures that NST brings us every day. Happy holidays, all!

    I’m in Gucci Eau de Parfum, the one from 2002 (brown juice, heavy clear bottle). Thankful for this fragrance because it taught me that there is more than one perfume to adore. After wearing a signature scent for about 20 years, it became unfindable at retail outlets … and I was debating how to go about finding a replacement. Along came Bois de Jasmin, followed quickly by NST and Surrender to Chance, and down the rabbit hole I went. The Gucci was in one of the first sample sets I ordered, and was the first of (now) many new loves. Can’t believe I ever thought I could be happy with ONE replacement scent!

      Yes, BdJ’s ‘perfume wardrobe’ concept is so much more enjoyable and makes so much more sense than having just one ‘signature scent’. Much less heartbreaking when you realize your favorite fragrance has been discontinued, because you already know you have others you can love.

    It’s Saturday (can’t be doing with Black Fridays ) and the sky is a kind of tourmaline pinkish green, and the moon is full, sitting above the hills. I think I might get organised and get rid of some perfume clutter….scents that I don’t like. There are four in this category that I feel bad about not liking: no. 19 Poudre, Byredo Flowerhead and Oliver Peoples, and … Wait for it…Jour d’Hermes Absolue. I was very foolish regarding the JdH as I liked the original but when it came to replacement got a kind of ‘supersize’ mentality and thought, Why settle for plain old JdH when I can have JdH ABSOLUE! I will send all my rejects to an artist friend. I actually love the idea of having only 5 scents at a time and for me it is going to be Cristalle, Rahat Loukoum, Lumiere Blanche, Traversee du Bosphore and, hmmmm, one more…

      Five at a time? Amazing! Astounding! Fabulous! Utterly beyond my comprehension or capacity to achieve, but all of those superlatives, all over again, squared! I don’t know Lumiere Blanche at all, but the other three you have listed are in my “adore” range. Please tell us your fifth choice when you make it.

      I’ve just sprayed a bit of Bill Blass to get me through the early part of my Saturday morning:,make a cup of tea, feed Dakkie and Isabella, remove remains of chewed knitted mouse from carpet, get breakfast. This is a surprisingly lovely, gentle scent, ideal for a soft start. It won’t survive my shower, but that’s OK.

      Oh, and by the way, I’m with you on Jour. I’ve tried and tried to like any version, but I just don’t, and the Absolue simply magnified all the qualities I didn’t like in the more slender interpretations.

    Very best of good mornings to all. I am spoilt for the choices I have for participation in this project, so this is the first thing I am thankful for, that I like almost every perfume I own, actively love most for their different qualities, and positively adore a handful. The perfume I’m going to put up for my thankfulness award today is not in the “love” or “adore” category, but it is the one I bought about five years ago –almost certainly would not buy it now– that was a complete break with the perfume habits of my past: Versace Crystal Noir. This was the first perfume I ever chose that was not a floral, and it taught me to look further than flowers in a bottle. It also didn’t really satisfy me, so I shortly afterwards bought myself Narciso Rodriguez For Him and learnt that I could be quite happy on the other side of the scent aisle. Between them, these two perfumes changed my relationship with scent, and a couple of years later, I tumbled down the rabbit hole, for which I am really rather thankful every day.

      What wise words…the simple aspect of admiring and recognising unique qualities in each perfume … Just as we do with our friends and family, and everything else in life. My problem is that I look at my perfume collection and it seems to wag it’s finger at me, and say, see how impulsive you are? You just never learn, do you? If you just slowed down and thought a little….’ I have ten bottles frowning at me right now.
      Have a very happy weekend!

      Waterdragon, I am completely with you – I’m amazed I love/like just about all that I have and that they all seem to have a purpose at some point in my year. Even thinking of a particular scent allows me to experience it as if, along with the bottle/sample, I’ve purchased the rights to its phantom scent. My tastes have changed but seem to be only more inclusive as time goes on.

    I’m actually grateful for Victoria’s Secret Heavenly Luxe. I won this $250 bottle, which is gorgeous, but the perfume inside was just blah for me. My curiosity spurred me to research what makes perfume smell “good”, which is when I fell down the rabbit hole.

    I can’t bear to wear Heavenly Luxe on such a gorgeous day, so I am trying out Feminite du Bois.

    I am so grateful to have found such a fascinating hobby at a period in my life where I have the luxury and resources to pursue it. Also, I am terrible at responding to posts, but I wanted to let you all know that I am constantly heartened and inspired by this communities’ kindness and generosity.

    SOTD = Al-Rehab Choco Musk

    I braved the mall to get a much needed haircut. I am thankful for the choice of walking there instead of driving and YES, I also got in some exercise. I am thankful for clarissa who mentioned this on several NST comments (and thankful also that we are generally scent twins and she is feeding a hole left by a favorite splitter on Basenotes who developed a passion for … restoring cars). I am thankful for L. whom I met at my first Sniffapalooza; I saw her again on the Friday night Sniffapalooza weekend event, continued our conversation as if we had just been briefly interrupted by a sneeze eventhough we had not seen each other for 18 months, brought up Choco Musk (not even sure how we got there) and voila, the next day, she gifted me with the roll-on. I am thankful for cheap thrills of which Choco Musk is probably the mother of all cheap thrills.

      Oh, and I am thankful that this is virtually undetectible by my mom who is the ultimate perfume-phobe. I think she is anosmic to musks but ultra-sensitive to synthetic woods, flowers (especially BWF and roses), incense, aldehydes, sandalwood, leathers and just about everything else except the lightest gourmands.

      I am grateful for great recommendations I have been getting from people on this board. It really helped me broaden my horizons – and to think that 14 months ago I only shopped at Nordstrom’s for my frags
      Happy holidays everyone,

        A previous one was accidental — Choco Musk and Rose Cut. Today’s was deliberate — I think I am slowly coming around to Aftelier Vanilla Smoke. I wore Choco Musk first, then added Vanilla Smoke 3 hours later and this was a super nice combination! I would tend to think that Amber Absolute and Vanille 44 will layer nicely as well. That will be this week’s experiment since the community challenge is wear something with incense.

        Oh gosh. Well I also know how hard it is to persuade someone to seek medical treatment if it’s not already obvious to them that they might need it…but I’m absurdly thrilled with my newish allergy regimen. I didn’t even realize I had allergies; I just thought that feeling vaguely headachey and worn out all the time was what being human felt like. I started taking daily allergy meds (just the generic for Claritin, not even anything fancy) last winter and it’s WONDERFUL. I think Mr. Spicebomb certainly deserves to feel so improved as well!!

        The shots are a long-term project, rather than an instant fix, but I am glad I started mine when I did. I can no longer take most allergy pills or decongestants, and I shudder to think how miserable I’d be without the shots. Saline rinses (I use a squeeze bottle rather than a neti pot) help, too. I still miss generic Claritin, though.

    I’m also grateful that Dior Sauvage smells exactly like a piney toilet cleaner like a few reviews said so I’m not the mad person here.

    I’m actually unscented today. Had a very fun Friendsgiving last night (I wore Journey Woman) and ended up sleeping in very late today. The hubs is sick and that usually means it’s countdown to when I’ll be hit like a sack of bricks with the plague. Note: a “cold” for him ends up as “plague” for me. *sigh* Occasionally I can dodge the sick bullet from him, so we’ll see. Fingers crossed!
    I ran a few errands today: cat needed food and the hubs needed some throat medicine so it was one of those roll out of bed, throw on whatever, wear the old coat and sunglasses with that DO. NOT. BOTHER. look and try to run in and out of stores as quickly as possible.
    When I got home I found a package for me from Annikky!!! It seriously made my day and made me so thankful for having discovered NST and all the wonderful people here. I’m seriously thankful for all of YOU and hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

      Sounds like your hubby and I share the same illness. I have had a scratchy, sore throat now for about 3 days. We had a lot of kids at our school sick with strep throat. One of my friends told me that she thinks I caught it. Yikes! I went to my local pharmacy and stocked up on medicine. I told her if I don’t feel better in two more days I would go to the doctor. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that its just a little bug and nothing serious. Hope your hubby gets well soon.

    Hello and happy Friday, all!
    I enjoyed my Black Friday a day early, and made several purchases yesterday. I don’t have intentions of any further. Probably.

    I am grateful to this band of cheerful enablers who always seem to have my back and let me know when something I wontonly lust after, and loudly deny myself, has become available and really mustn’t be ignored any further! My collection brings me so much joy and you all add to the beauty of my days! Thank you! (How’s that for a positive spin on hopeless splurging after months of whining!)

      You know something, I have honestly never noticed you whining…if you think that your occasional comments about this’n’that constitute whining, then I have to tell you that your efforts in the whining direction are a clear fail.

      I’ve only just got my head around this American version of Black Friday, so I haven’t bought anything. In A-NZ, Black Friday was/is traditionally a Friday that fell on the 13th of any month. There was one earlier in November, and I thought Amazon was talking about that in its early emails, but then nothing happened, and I got so muddled that I decided my best way forward was to quickly ignore everything. I can see I’ve probably missed out on some really good stuff, but I’m glad you got things you wanted.

        I had to google Black Friday as it made no sense to me. The funny thing about the NST blog is that its one day behind us, due to the time difference…so every morning I end up doing a kind of double take, like, Did I miss something? Its like reading day-before horoscopes and you go ‘Drat, yesterday was the best day of the year…and I never knew!’
        Majorie Rose – you do not whine!
        Gaynor and Waterdragon – would you do me a favour and take a Christmas Mystery Box of perfumes, one each? You’ll have to overcome your NZ reticence and fear of appearing greedy – but you’d be doing me a favour! I can send it to your work address …. It will be a mixed bag…a 5 cent mixture!

        Thank you, waterdragon, for your sweet support! I am aware, on an intellectual level anyway, that I am not truly a whiner. But, as you are discussing culture elsewhere, it applies here as well–my family is one in which it was ever-discouraged to express discontent when basic needs were met, or wanting of unecessary or luxurious things whenever!

        So, I am often self-concious and self-aware when my “needs” include Frederic Malle Coffrets or full bottles of long-discontinued fragrances! It is somehow easier to downplay its importance in my life by calling it whining. Otherwise, I am stuck acknowledging some weakness in my character illustrated by defining such things as needs in the first place!

There is something almost minty/camphor to its dirt, too. I tucked the empty vial into my fanny pack to fragrance the rest of my day. (Know someone recently be-crutched?

    I am thankful for all the wonderful people who contribute to this fabulous blog! This is my little scented haven of sanity in a world gone mad! I am wearing Anais, Anais today because it was the signature scent of my Aunt Kathy in the 1970s. She had surgery today for her third go round with melanoma. She is in good spirits and quite formidable but I cannot help but worry. She is so like my father who succumbed to this difficult to treat cancer more than thirty years ago, I think it would be more then I could bear to lose her to it as well. I am very grateful for her and her wonderful company and good advice over the years.

It was my first real perfume and I fell in love with it. it was a gift from my dear aunt who brought it back from her trip to Europe. which made me feel most special and sophisticated. Sadly, I do not have any to wear today. I did wear my beloved Gucci Rush. I have a needle point my friend made me that says “You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you” a quote attributed to Isadora Duncan. I wear Rush when I need to remember that. wow, I think this is my longest post ever.

      Gucci Rush was a slow burn fragrance for me and now I love it and am thankful I succumbed to the cheerful charmer I find it to be! You smell delicious.

      I absolutely adore Ysatis! My mom used to wear this. I remember going to her vanity and seeing the beautiful bottle and just spraying it all over me. I have seen it available for quite reasonable prices on a lot of sites. I will have to get a bottle.

      Gucci Rush defined my wild days. I’m so glad you mentioned it because I’ve been trying to figure out what to pack for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas. I bought my first bottle of Rush there 15 years ago; I think I’m going to take just that one and make some new memories with it.

    A belated contribution today! I’m layering LADDM and Nu today and I’m thankful to Elisa for suggesting this combination last week. It really is divine! I smell like a whole spice market.

    I am thankful for perfumers who get to make perfumes that reflect their personal mark; people like Andy Tauer and Laurie Erickson. So I lavishly sprayed Andy’s Rose Flash this morning, only to realize a few seconds later that I had actually lavished his Incense Flash all over my wrist. Darn those bottles and boxes that look exactly alike!

    I’m thankful to have found fragrances light enough (and high enough quality) that I can tolerate them when my breathing is irritated. Today that’s Dior Bois d’Argent, but Chanel Sycomore is next on the FB list.

    Enjoy the long weekend, everyone.

    I realized that I don’t really have any perfumes that I am NOT thankful for. :-) (Now, I once had Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet, which is the most vile perfume I have ever owned, but I got rid of it immediately.) But really, they are all little works of art, aren’t they?

    I just felt like wearing the noble Sharif from La Via del Profumo today. I guess I do have a special place in my perfume heart for the talented and devoted Dominique Dubrana.

      I made myself finish my bottle of Ultraviolette. Ghastly, truly ghastly, and I had tried it plenty of times before buying a bottle.

    I’m wearing L’Artisan Parumeur Vanille Absolument. I’m thankful for the warm, boozy vanilla on a cold (by Southern California standards) night. I got it in my very first swap (thank you Lisa D!), two years go I think, which was a blind swap, and I am also thankful that the swap went smoothly and I loved the perfume. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

    Commenting late, wasn’t feeling like myself at all yesterday. But I do want to thank you all for being such a wonderful group! Even when I don’t comment, just reading everyone elses is one of the best parts of my day :)

    Late to the party, and I didn’t post on Thanksgiving either, but I wore Theorema on Thanksgiving and put it on again this morning. I’m so grateful to have a 7/8 full tester of it.

    Yesterday I wore…Farouche parfum from the beautiful Lalique heart-shaped crystal bottle.

      I’m sure you smelled great. I’ve never tried Farouche but I’m very fond of the original L’Air du Temps, Nina and Fleur de Fleurs.

        They are all quite beautiful, though Farouche is my favorite.

      I am very lucky to have two small vials of Farouche, which is very, very beautiful. The most beautiful lactonic aldehyde fragrance I’ve ever smelled.

        My parfum has held up very well, too!
