Friday scent of the day 3/29

Posted by Robin on 29 March 2019 371 Comments

The last Friday in March! (It's also World Piano Day and Pearl Bailey's birthday.) Our community project for today: wear an orange blossom or neroli fragrance, if you have one.

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.

I am repeating last Friday in Hermès Eau de Néroli Doré.

Reminder: on 4/5, wear a fragrance by Gallivant, Grès, Ginestet, Grossmith or Grandiflora, if you have one. Partial credit for any other small-ish brand that starts with the letter G.

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2019, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Note: top left image is detail from Citrus aurantium = Citronier oranger. [Bitter orange]; top right image is detail from Citrus Bigaradia Sinensis = Citronier Bifaradier Chinois. [Bitter sweet oranges on a branch]; Both from Traité des arbres et arbustes que l'on cultive en France en pleine terre (1801-1819) via the Rare Book Division of The New York Public Library Digital Collections.

      Hi twin! and thank you so much for the 60’s Batman reference. That was a Batman reference, right? Or is my dork flag flying a little higher today… Anyway, you made me smile. : )

      Twins! I keep circling a full bottle of this one — first had a sample, realized I needed more, then bought a decant and that’s almost gone. Sooner or later, I’m just going to have to break down and get the bottle.

    I went to the new opened HoltOgilvy yesterday night for perfume sniffing, finally we have a Guerlain Boutique in Montreal and so much more….
    I am wearing Portrait of a lady body oil, I think I am obsessed with body oils.
    Did anyone try Chanel Rose body oil ?

            Well, here I am speaking out of both sides of my mouth (per my comment to lovestosmellgood)…mine is still shrink wrapped. At the store, I did not want to try it on my skin in case it was greasy . What I smelled of what was sprayed smelled like L’Eau and that is why I bought it.

          Awwwww – I enjoyed visiting Ogilvy any time I was in Montreal. They always had interesting jewellery and accessories. But then again, so did Holts in Toronto. Everything now is high end designer label. Nothing cool or funky anymore… ☹️
          Now, I only go for the perfume!

      Oh, I bet the rose body oil smells lovely. I’m a huge fan of Chanel and other body oils.
      Roger & Gallet makes an oil to match their Fig scent, It’s so heavenly I promptly purchased a backup. It’s that good.

      I tried all three of the Chanel body oils and LOVED them. Pretty pricey, though :-/ They all go on delicate but moisturizing and leave you wonderfully but lightly fragranced.

    Been gone a few days to Nashville….my mom was in the hospital for 3 days to start a new drug for her AFib. Very happy that she’s tolerating the drug well and went home yesterday. I’m very happy to be back home too! :)

    I’m overdosing in neroli and orange blossom: Wearing A Lab on Fire’s And the World is Yours. Only 1/2 a spray, and it’s still too much for the office, my fragrant friends. I’ve already washed my arms and we can all still smell it. I like this scent, but it’s for outdoor use only on my skin! :)

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Hello all! I love Pearl Bailey. I would love to know what perfume she wore.

    Scent twins with Robin in Eau de Neroli Dore. So much neroli it practically shimmers. I had a few to pick from for the poll but I’m still trying to wear each perfume in my collection. This one was the only OB/ neroli I had left, but it’s a good one.

    Doing the same as Robin in Eau de Neroli Dore (thanks katsura!)

    The event at Indigo Perfumery last night was so fun! It was a workshop on “Modern Musks,” in which we sniffed a whole bunch of musky raw materials ranging from civet, castoreum (whoa), and ambrette to newer synthetics. There were only four of us there, including Indigo’s owner, and we were almost entirely anosmic to most of the synthetics. Then we sniffed a range of musk perfumes, including Sylvaine Delacourte’s entire line of musks. Some standouts for me were Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc, Serge Lutens Clair de Musc, and my favorite of the night: Sylvaine Delacourte’s Florentina. Will definitely be ordering a sample.

      Ooooohing and aaaaaaahing with other folks about that Indigo event! It sounds like something I would have enjoyed very much. I’ve smelled plenty of perfume, but not a lot of raw materials.

    I’m in St Clair Scents Casablanca after imploring my brother to bring it to me along with other necessities like toothpaste and underwear to the rehab center where I’m staying for more recuperation after emergency hip surgery. The last 10 days have been a nightmare between my mother’s ER visit followed by mine. We’re both in the same facility now and I hope things will start looking up. I’m wearing this perfume even tough it’s strong and a bit skanky as a sign of returning to some semblance of humanity.

    I am seriously lacking in Neroli. I went with Dame Orange Flower. I’m liking it very much. It would make a great shower gel.
    A few months back, I bought Insolence for really cheap at Marshalls, I ended up returning it because I noticed the batch code on the box and bottle were different, and it bothered me. Does anyone know why they would be different?

      TJ Maxx also lets you return perfumes, and I think you have to be very careful when you buy them as a result. I bought a set of three Library of Flowers travel sprays there, and realized when I got it home that the Linden was half gone. That being said, I’m going to Marshall’s to look for some really cheap Insolence! It’s over my blind-buy limit online.

    I forgot about the orange blossom, but I am wearing a floral: Rose Cardin by Pierre Cardin. I bought it on a whim because FragranceNet had it on deep discount (got it for $13.50 or something like that) and it had positive reviews on Fragrantica. And I don’t regret it! It’s a real deal rose chypre, completely at odds with its very silly neon pink bottle. If you like the idea of rose chypres but find Paloma or Diva are just too much for you, this would be a good one to try. It’s softer.

    SotD = Berdoues Vanira Moorea

    VM has an incredible petitgrain top note. It’s not quite the same as neroli though I do adore it.

    Today I’m going to wear the last of my pre-reform sample of Atelier Colognes Grand Neroli. Woulda-coulda-shoulda bought myself a bottle when it was first released, but that scented ship sailed long ago.

    Coincidentally, a neighbor cut down a diseased orange tree on Monday, so he gave me three small branches covered in flowers. I put them in water and they are still fresh. A few times a day I sniff the bouquet and rub a green leaf between my fingers. My kitchen is filled with the scent of orange blossoms and greenery. It is heaven on earth.

    I have not been here on NST much lately, life offline calls out to me too forcefully, but I think of you every day. I have some awful things on my Friday to-do list, so a stop here is lifting my spirits and filling my heart with strength. Sometimes the only way out is through! onward and upward, carpe diem, fugit amor!

    Hope each of you, my fragrant friends, have a fantastic Friday.

      Mmm, Vanira Moorea. An orange blossom bouquet really does sound heavenly. I’m visiting my sister in central California next week – not sure if there are orange trees blooming in her area, but I’ll be on the lookout! When I visited last year, I got a small cup of fresh-squeezed orange juice from a farmer’s market and it was a revelation.

      Oh the scent of real orange blossoms is just stunning!

      Whenever I hit one of those bad patches, I just keep telling myself to keep putting one foot in front of the other, lol. Slog on through!

      I hope you are able to relax and catch your breath this weekend.

    Seville a L’Aube for me today. Have really enjoyed reading everyone’s OB/Neroli picks. I was surprised to see that I don’t really have many in my collection, considering how much I love the ones I have. Clearly some sampling is in order.

    Wearing Le Couvent des Minimes Orange Blossom floral water. Found a big bottle of this last summer while clearing out my parents’ place. Although it may have belonged to my sister…not sure. It’s not as lush as Seville à l’Aube…a bit sharper citrus. Very realistic. I’ve topped it with a bit of Sal’A.

    I’m also in Neroli Dore. I did orange blossom the last few days, so I wanted to switch it up. Plus I can steadily work to finish off my decant now that I have a travel spray coming from the swap meet.

    We finally made it to Friday! This has felt like a very long week, and I’ll at least have about 4 hours of overtime to show for it. Also looking forward to not waking up to an alarm tomorrow. It’s the little things.

    Lots of early comments today! I got on the road about a half hour later than usual, but to my surprise, there was little traffic. Where is everyone, I wondered, but you all were here commenting!

    I was going to wear one of my very numerous neroli/OB scents, but then I got TWO swapmeet packages! (If I’m swapping with you: I haven’t had time to finish making decants, apologies! I hope to get them mailed on Monday!)

    So instead I’m wearing the gorgeous Baruti Indigo. It’s even better than I remember. My boyfriend HATES it, so I’ll have to be careful about it.

    Serge Fleurs d’Oranger! Orange blossom is almost always too soapy/”fresh” on me, but this one is gorgeous. The other florals and touch of spice make it less sunny tampon commercial and more real woman, if that makes sense. I got a decant last August or so and then put it away for the colder months, I forgot how much I liked it.

    Totally spaced the CP, so my scent today is Tiger’s Nest. My office mate commented on it being different than the flowery things I usually wear. I asked her if it was too strong. (Our office is little, with limited ventilation.) She said, No its fine, just different. So she is not actively bothered by it, but this is the first time she has commented on any perfume I have worn since we moved in together. Interesting. I also am grateful for the listing of OB perfumes. I am limbering up my sample list…

    SOTD is Perfumer H Orange Leaf: orange, petitgrain, basil, angelica, frankincense, cedar, yum. My notes say “3D version of Hermes Orange Vert with a really nice dry down”. I bought this at Perfumer H’s store in London when I was there on vacation over a year ago; it was a very fun visit. I was the only customer in the (un-air-conditioned) store on that roasting hot afternoon, and my husband was a good sport about hanging out for the hour+ I spent sniffing everything. I enjoy both the scent and the memory.

She sells all her scents in 100ml screw-top bottles, and includes an empty 10ml travel spray for you to decant into. I’d have been ok with just buying the travel spray!

It usually smells like garlic, high octane fabric softener, and sweet fake-flavoured coffee-based drinks. This women actually pulled a bottle of perfume out last week and sprayed herself twice. You could already smell her before she did so. Glad she didn’t work in my office…?

        ADORE it! It is warmer and richer than most orange blossom fragrances. The ad copy attributes this difference to Mexican vs European blossoms. The latter are supposedly more bitter. There is less of that strident, stringent citrus note. Hope that is helpful!

    SOTD is Elie Saab L’Eau Couture which is a nice springy scent

    Couldn’t wear it to work today but last night I went to sleep in a dab of Rubj, courtesy of the lovely Bronyraur! It screams sexy to me and I’m very glad my fiance doesn’t mind it, but I would never wear this out anywhere in the US. Orange blossom, tuberose, and a metric ton of cumin are apparently my jam.

      Out of a totally unrelated curiosity, does anyone have recommendations for green/bitter vanilla frags? I liked Guerlain’s Angelique Noire enough to be tempted by a bottle this winter, but I haven’t actually tried enough vanilla’s to know if there are other perfumes like it.

          I was just coming to suggest Virgile! It’s by Sylvaine Delacourte. Valkyrie might work too.

          Rayleighblue, I can send you my samples if you want. I bought travel sprays of both. I’ll email you this weekend re: your swap list.

        Diptyque Eau Duelle is a green, summery vanilla. Rubj sounds really wonderful. If they actually bring it back, I’ll have to make a pilgrimage to the Scent Bar to finally try it.

        It does, but the lime in this one throws me for a loop. I’m pretty sure the face I made made my mom think that the dog farted when I first spritzed this. Haven’t tried it in years though and might like it better now?

    Nicolai Neroli Intense, from a dabber sample. I might have to decant this into a small sprayer to get the full effect (one spray worth?) so I can really compare to Cap Neroli. I think Cap Neroli is more interesting, but I’m not sure yet which one would be worn more and therefore deserves the bottle purchase. As a side note, I really wish Twisted Lily printed their sample labels on a laser printer. They use an inkjet and the labels are either slightly smeared or totally unreadable once the dabbers are opened! (Maybe it’s just user error, but this keeps happening to me!)

    I have lots to confess to Donatella and a lot of NST to catch up on. Meanwhile, great that one of my purchases is so appropriate for this week’s project – Neroli Outrenoir from Guerlain. I’ll be wearing generous amounts after my shower.

    Joining today’s project in Annick Goutal Neroli, hoping that its green notes and touch of cedar (notes I prefer) would soften the other notes, but it’s not working today. I’m not much of a fan of floral fragrances anyway and white florals are my least favorite scent category. Like SheriG, however, I am a big fan of ‘the whole rest of the orange grove – juice, zest, leaves, trees and loamy soil;’ I just wish there were more of these notes in this scent.

    Although there’s a possibility of tomorrow’s rain changing to snowflakes, spring – and baseball! – arrived for real this week. Sending positive wishes to all for a great weekend ahead!

    Today’s CP was the perfect occasion to spritz from my dwindling supply of the tragically-discontinued Pacifica Nerola Orange Blossom. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it’s so realistic bees try to pollinate you when you wear it.

    As predicted, the spring birds have now shown up! I saw 2 or 3 robins in the short walk to the mailbox today. ?? ?? Also heard what I think is a mockingbird. I haven’t seen or heard much from the mourning doves this year, though. Wonder where they are?

    SOTD = Hermes Eau de Neroli Dore EdC, from the sample stash. I’m twins with Robin today! It’s still a little too cool, weather-wise, for it, I think. But it shines in hot humid summer weather! ??⛱

        I know a few birds. Cardinals have a “chip-chip-chip”, while the mourning doves “coo” at each other in the mornings. Blue jays can be rather obnoxious with their noises. And sometimes mockingbirds imitate man made sounds, like cell phones ringing or car alarms going off. But usually a mockingbird has a variety of calls in its song.

          A couple years ago we used to have a little farm next to us; they had peacocks on the property. Before we knew what they were, I could swear they were shrieking monkeys. Oh, they also had roosters, so we were covered day and night!

    SOTD was Tom Ford “Mandarino di Amalfi”, the only thing I have in the NL that even mentions Neroli among its notes. Although it smells good going on, it dies away pretty quickly – not really acceptable at the price. I’m glad this is just a 5ml decant!

    SOTE is Maria Candida Gentile “Elephant and Roses”. Aah, that’s more like it! :^)

    Top: thyme, rose & osmanthus;
    Mid: rose, jasmine & ambergris;
    Base: vetiver & sandalwood.

    SOTD was 7 Virtues Orange Blossom (the new one they carry at Sephora, not the original), from a sample. I have to say I’m disappointed. It reminds me of the dirt-cheap Citrus Flower edt from Yves Rocher, but with some little note I can’t put my finger on that I find mildly annoying. Unlike the Yves Rocher, which disappears within 20 minutes, this one is sticking around, unfortunately. (Sam of I Scent You a Day calls this the Law of Sod.) It smelled great on paper, though. I think I’ll put on a little Phoenix Botanicals Night Bloom to drown it out. I also think I’ll keep Orange Blossom and Neroli week going for at least a few more days.

    I jumped the gun and wore Lorenzo Villoresi Dilmun and Penhaligon’s Anthology Orange Blossom last week, both of which would have been better choices for today. I’ve been trying to decide which might be my next full bottle, and I think the front-runner right now might be Houbigant Orangers en Fleurs, unless maybe I happen across a well-priced bottle of L’Artisan La Chasse aux Papillons. Apparently, in spring a middle-aged woman’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of orange blossom perfumes. The citrus trees in the neighborhood are all blooming, and there is really nothing like them (although I think the Penhaligon’s comes closest). Happy weekend, everyone, and happy Springtime to all the Northern Hemisphere dwellers.
