Wednesday scent of the day 8/15

Posted by Robin on 15 August 2018 400 Comments

Happy Hump Day and happy National Relaxation Day! (I participated by sleeping through the alarm.) What fragrance are you wearing?

I'm in Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Summer Cologne.

Reminder: 8/17 will be Guessing Game Friday, edition 2. Describe your perfume to us, OR, give your perfume the name it ought to have had, and we'll see if we can guess what it is.

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2018, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

        oh yes way!!! When she said, “can I take some of that with me?” I decanted and ‘poof’ it was gone! This is what happens when I wear things over and over again….eventually one of the marzipans likes it enough to “steal” it from me…I don’t mind though…I like spreading the love :)

        yup! not sure what is next…I have two bottles that are itching to be finished…but I also have a boatload of essential oils that I enjoy wearing as “perfume” so I might start to tackle those..some of them might be slower on the THUNK but then again if I turn them into body oils they will be done sooner.

        LOL! a bit unexpected but the girls are starting to pack up for college and they are working on their perfume stash at the moment! and of course this includes me having to make decants for them when they don’t want to shlep the full bottles.

    Oh Robin, I slept through my alarm this morning too! It does make for a discombobulated morning. Luckily I had decided last night what perfume to wear today, saving at least several seconds of dithering.

    My perfume anagrams to MINERALS.

        I can’t think why either, so was wondering about Thierry Wasser since I guess it was a bit controversial that he got the job at Guerlain? So then could be Dior Addict, although that’s unlikely in August maybe.

    I am ready to play! Guess what perfume. I come from the private line in this company’s stable of fragrances. I have been discontinued, mostly because my name was ridiculous and did not describe me well. I am a gorgeous Ylang Ylang fragrance with a small suggestion of lily. Two of my siblings are in the more modest, if this word can ever be used to describe anything about my company and founder. Sibling one is an excellent Frankincense and Myrrh and sibling 2 is so loud and so distinctive that my owner feels like a Valkyrie when she wears it. Who am I?

        Well… after all your praises, love and commitment to it and a decant from a generous NSTer, I had ” absolutely” no choice, but getting that beautiful bottle with such an uplifting and refreshing juice! :D Today, like never before, I am getting wafts of incense that is not listed as a note. I just wonder if the combination of tea and sandalwood is the reason for it. Any idea?

          I would not be surprised if there is incense in there. The Berdoues Grand Cru always only list three notes but there is definitely more in them. Have you ever tried Arz El Rab? Ginger Iris and Cedar ( and I know you like Iris ????)

            I just tried Arz El Rab for the first time yesterday! Just did a quick sample spritz, but for the first several minutes it was the most beautiful, true Virginia cedar scent. After that, the cedar went to the background and it became a woody iris. Still great though.

            Yes it is heavy on the cedar for me as well. It’s beautiful though and definitely unisex. I think for the price the Berdoues are pretty darn good. Plus I am addicted to those bottles :) I would not mind having all the bottles, even if they were empty!!!

            No, I have not tried it yet. Is the iris noticeable?

          • chocolatemarzipan8 says:
            15 August 2018 at 5:52 pm

            I get more cedar but holyneroli says it dries down to a woody iris.

            Arz El Rab was all cedar all the time on me. No iris. YMMV.

    Can’t play the game – Baby Jack turns four today! I’m in Jo Malone Orange Blossom, as that’s what I was wearing when we were in the hospital. I don’t love or hate the scent, but the memories make it one of my favs. And it should be good for a whole day of bouncy houses and train rides. :) Happy Wednesday everyone.

      Happy bday to your Leo! (I have two of my own).

      Jo Malone Orange Blossom was my first full bottle purchase from Jo Malone…I bought it because I loved the sample and also because I knew it was a scent that Barbara Herman wore before she became “famous” (that and Gucci Rush which I also bought). It is such a beautiful orange blossom….

      Enjoy your day with Jack!

        Gucci Rush may be my all time favorite scent. I bought it upon first sniff and we’ve had a love affair for almost 20 years. The Orange Blossom is lovely, but Gucci Rush is captivating.

        Thank you for the birthday wishes, we had a very fun day.

    This perfumer formerly worked for Guerlain and now has her own line of muscs and vanillas. This particular scent got a one-star rating in the new Guide and LT described it as “a cloying, misbegotten mishmash of mimosa and almond notes, and whoever did this must be glad to remain anonymous.” Lol.????
    I like it, but I’m a sucker when it comes to perfumes with a note of almond.

          You’d be out of luck for today, because Florentina only has one review and it’s positive. I’d be in luck though, because Sel Marin “doesn’t smell like the ocean at all. Neither does it smell very good. More like a cucumber/bergamot/seaweed smoothie bought in a Los Angeles rawfood yoga café.”

    great job celebrating Robin :) How do you like Summer Cologne? It sounds great and very tempting. Love that picture too!

    today I’m wearing Sand & Sable. I sprayed two baby sprays on a cotton ball and dabbed some skin, and put the cotton ball inside my shirt. Much better way to wear this scent than full on sprays.

    yesterday’s SOTD: Elizabeth & James Nirvana Black (3 simple ingredients, bottle can be used to exfoliate feet)

      I like it, but I do think it is almost certainly something that needs to be sprayed, and sprayed lavishly, and I have a tiny little rollerball sample. So it isn’t making as much as an impression as it should.

      Brighter, rounder, less green & bitter than CB I Hate Perfume Memories of Kindness. I think I like her Kaleidoscope better for a summer green / citrus / eau fraiche kind of thing– and would say that one lasted longer, but I really don’t know because I have that one in a spray.

Side note, can the heat go away now? Not ready for cold but some temps in the 70s would be a welcome relief!

        No…. Oh no…???? I like HG scents a lot but don’t think of it as a sophisticated house.

        This house is not an old one but it is an incredibly expensive one. I can only afford their travel sizes. I would say that the house is probably better known to people who like classic perfume with a modern edge. Their bottles are opaque and very plain considering their prices. However, they package their scents beautifully.

    Good morning, friends! I am wearing a rich, spiced, gourmand vanilla fragrance (I don’t know if this is what Robin means by wood pudding, but it smells like wood pudding to me!). The scent comes from an indie brand that is well loved here on NST, and with good reason, as the brand owner/perfumer is by all accounts a wonderfully sweet and generous man.

    Day 3 of Project Don’t Dress Like a Grad Student is going well! I have a shocking amount of white clothing, and it all makes me soooo nervous that I’m going to spill something (usually coffee) on myself. I wonder how long this project is going to last. I have a feeling I’ll manage it one more week before falling back to my extremely casual ways.

      I don’t have a guess for your perfume, but congrats on your wardrobe project, that sounds interesting! Don’t know how casual you usually dress, are you more jeans or stretch pants casual? I heard someone somewhere recently touting elastic waist band cotton or canvass pants as a more versatile way of dressing casual, i like the idea.

      The big problem I have with clothes is I can’t put anything even remotely nice in the dryer, even casual clothes as it ruins them – so stuff piles up because I dread hanging up a load of wet clothes.

      my MIL has a basic uniform, a concept I admire from afar – she always wears black flats, black pants, a black themed blouse, hair teased up in a bun with long bangs, she uses jewelry to add variety.

        One of my best friends wears only black. Oh, on occasion she’ll throw on a white blouse or tank under something black. She does the same thing…the shoes, bags, jewelry are the variety and interest. And where the $$$ goes….

        All my clothes are black or denim, with a few black and white stripes. I accessorize with perfume. Mainly because of work, but because my feet are so bad from working, I don’t have to worry about finding matching shoes that are comfortable.

        Your MIL’s uniform sounds lovely! I’ve contemplated a uniform myself (they say it’s the kind of thing successful people do!), but I think it would just make me unhappy. It would be like restricting myself to one perfume.

        I typically wear jeans and a casual top. I’m having fun wearing nice pants/skirts/shorts right now (yes, shorts can be nicer than jeans! Pretty much all of mine are!). I understand your dryer problem :) We have a drying rack that’s almost always in use, drying either gym clothes (heat hurts elastic) or nicer clothes. It’s in the office/music room, so it’s out of our way for the most part.

      Maybe you could fit a dressy week into your schedule every so often? That way, you spend part of the time not looking like a grad student, but also enjoy the benefits of a wash and wear wardrobe that students generally have.

        I think that’s a really good idea :) Also because if I were to dress nicely all the time, no one would say nice things to me about my outfits. On the other hand, I’ve gotten a pile of compliments over the past few days about my attire! I know that when they say “You look so nice today!” it’s not wholly dissimilar from them saying “You look like you made some kind of effort today!” but I still enjoy the compliments :)

      Wow, Koyel! We have different noses/different skin because Earth Mother is really soft and plush on me whereas Dark Horse is a powerhouse. I don’t get wood pudding but a strong sharp guaicwood. I don’t dislike it but I prefer Earth Mother. My eldest wore Dark Horse her entire freshman year and drained her bottle. She has a decant which she saves for reference. I will have to find it and sniff it again.

        I had the same experience with Earth Mother that CM8 did… soft and plush. I’ll have to re-sniff Dark Horse when the weather cools off. It was definitely a cool weather scent based on my initial reaction.

    This perfume by a long-standing niche line bears the name of a song from a 1925 musical and a 1950 film, in which it was sung by Doris Day. It became a jazz standard recorded by Art Tatum in 1933 and famously performed by Anita O’Day at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, and by countless others. Its catchy tune made it the most-played song on the Lawrence Welk Show.

    I can’t find any version of this song that exemplifies the scent, which is neither light, sentimental, nor midcentury, but more of a dark, spicy leather, at least to my nose. I think it would sell better under a different name. Bonus points if you can suggest a better one.

        Fun fact: Christopher Walken started out a dancer on that show.

        It’s so crazy that LW also introduced the US to the Beatles and Eric Burdon and the Animals. Maybe call the perfume Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.

Found out from that Gallivant has a new fragrance coming out soon – think major hyper modern Asian city.

          I have travel sprays of Amora and Rosenthal. I’ve tried Bourbon and Bourbon EDC (which was a lighter version) and liked them, but I’m not huge on vanilla. Fume I liked but saving it to try in the Fall. Mown was interesting but not something I’d want to wear. Haven’t tried his new one (Blond?) or Jade. Smells like he uses a high percentage of naturals and quality materials. And love that he does travel sizes.

      It’s so odd they linked L’Eau d’Hiver with winter — to me it’s too light for cold weather but great other times.

    My scent is the last rider in the Tour de France (the caboose). Fortunately I don’t smell like the last rider in the Tour… Well maybe a bit, at the open… This scent starts out a bit animalic for me.

      Sounds absolutely lovely…

        Exactly! This one is a shape shifter… 45 minutes of sweet fruity animalics, then a much more pleasant (to me) sweet osmanthus.

    Wearing Vetiver Extraordinaire and wondering why I don’t wear it more?

    I finally figured out how to adjust my new shower head and am happy to report that I had a glorious, misty shower this morning rather than the needle sharp spray I was enduring. I’m honestly starting to wonder if that shower wasn’t destroying my whole mood, because I feel great today!

        Vetiver is tricky on me – sometimes it’s weirdly sweet (Fat Electrician) and other times there’s an unfortunate, vomit-ish edge to it (Timbuktu). But VE is perfect.

        Has anyone else tried the Harry’s Body Wash (new-ish Target product) in Shiso? It smells a lot like vetiver to me and it’s very nice for the $$

    Brain is tired, can’t think of a better riddle. I bought a small set that includes this purple one plus two siblings, a “noir” and a “boozy.”

    Also must add rollerballs are not my favorite. Will have to decant these into spray vials.

        honestly, I would not have bought the little set of 7 ml bottles if I had known. The packaging does not say roller-ball, so buyer beware. I should have thought to open the box in the store to check. But I’m loving the dry down of Amethyst, so that’s a win.

          Is it bad that I still have a crush on him at the ripe old age of 53? He’s got some great moves. I find his face kind of fascinating…Like studying the Mona Lisa- all kinds of stuff going on under the surface.

    Thanks for the pats on the back about my challenge yesterday! To answer Hajusurri, no I am not planning on extending it, though I do believe I am done drinking at home. I previously enjoyed a drink in the evenings or a glass of wine or whatever, but I’m over it now. I will, however, probably have one or two at a social event tomorrow.

    Today I’m finishing a sample of Nemer. It really is quite lovely to me but not for $875!!! THUNK!

    I’m planning a trip to take my sister to NYC for her 40th birthday in March (yes, I realize it will still be quite cold, but that’s the best time for us both haha). It will be our first time there. We are super excited and look forward to exploring together! I’m thinking of renting an Airbnb rather than a hotel room because my son and his girlfriend are thinking of flying up and joining us. Have any of you used Airbnb before? I have not, but have been wanting to try it.

    SOTD = “Fleeting Iris”

    This perfume from an eponymous fragrance house is said to be fleeting. I say go big or go home! 8 sprays + 1 for extra measure!

    Spotted in a garbage can in the office – a Le Labo shopping bag. I know it’s not from my co-worker. ????

    Commuting Woes No. 450:
    Spotted on the train this morning – a couple where the guy looked 30 years older, the woman dressed in short shorts with a loose button down shirt 2 sizes too big half-sitting on the guy’s lap. They looked ready to have a quickie before getting off at Newark Airport that they looked upset that I decided to sit in the same vestibule. I wouldn’t be surprised if aborted quickie was actually Round 2 on their journey because they had THAT look.

        You got it Bear!

        Speaking of indiscretions, way before a cousin announced his separation from the now ex-wife, I bumped into him and the person with whom he was cheating on their way to Hawaii (I got off at SF.). He was at a loss to explain who she was. Anyway they eventually married, divorced and got remarried. Last year, at the repast after our uncle’s memorial service, I had no choice but to sit with them; the wife kept sitting up straight, chest out and waving her hand, the better to flaunt gaudy jewelry that my cousin could ill-afford. Out of all the relatives there (and there were at least 30 of us), only our aunt (the wife of the uncle who passed away) stopped by; instead of greeting him, she berated him to be a better person. Oh the drama! I could write a book!

          That Crazy Rich Asians book isn’t yours ? ????????????

          (No offense intended, just making a timely joke because I’m seeing the commercial for the movie everywhere!!)

            I wish, then I would be laughing all the way to the bank! I do want to see the movie though!

      gross.

      In my younger days I had a friend who would look for the PDA couples on mass transit and then go sit right next to them and chat them up. Hilarious.

      Okay…this sounds cynical I know, but I’d be wondering if there wasn’t some form of “professional” relationship here….
