Thursday scent of the day 11/14

Posted by Robin on 14 November 2019 257 Comments

It's Almost-Friday and Pickle Day and World Diabetes Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

I'm wearing Allure Homme Édition Blanche, one of those rare flankers that is better than the original pillar fragrance.

Reminder: on 11/15, wear a fragrance by Chanel, if you have one. (This is a repeat from 2014.)

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 images are from Chanel Pharrell (2019), "an urban capsule collection highlighting Pharrell Williams' longterm relationship with the House".

    That is a very nice Chanel, Robin. I’ve never tried Allure Homme, but have sprayed the Blanche more than once.

    I’m in the very un-Chanel Enlèvement au Sérail from Parfums MDCI. I love it and fortunately it is no longer evaporating since transfer to another bottle.

    Tea is MF Marco Polo.

      I need to do the same with a few evaporating decants. Glad you were able to rescue your Elèvement. Sadly my Profumum Rosae Mundi was ruined from the evaporation/oxidation.

        My Enlèvement actually evaporated from the original bottle. It’s odd, because I also own a bottle Promesse which has so far shown no evidence of evaporation at all.

    I need to go smell that Chanel, Robin – it sounds lovely. Today I was thinking about Sycomore, but either I used up my little decant long ago or its remains evaporated because all that’s left are dregs. So I did a 180 and went with Ummagumma. Wow, do I love this stuff. I’m just now noticing that it shares a bit of DNA with Kerosene’s Broken Theories, another love. Happy Friday Eve, all.

    Im wearing 31 Rue Cambon. Ive had this bottle for years and I love it in winter.
    Started Xmas shopping and tried Loccitane´s new home sprays, gorgeous. Also tried the By Terry rose body oil, soooo expensive but gorgeous. Theres no way Ill buy it though!

      U smell exquisite Gabriela, I wore 31 Rue Cambon to a job interview on Tuesday, a very cold day and it was perfect. Sadly it was the last few spritzes in a decant that I have eeked out for a couple of years, and I’m sad I won’t be able to replace it.
      Still I am in training, and in 18 months when I’ve taken my exams I am going to buy a bottle to celebrate my achievements!

    80’s Opium today, perfect for the cold rainy day. Man, do I love that hit of clove! I didn’t sleep very well last night so I’m looking forward to the sillage mixing with my first coffee.

      I really like The patchouli in Jo Malones. It’s dry and herbal instead of sweet and funky.

      Continuing the basic mass market stuff. Finishing up Infusion d’Iris with a puff of Pleasures on top. Can’t go wrong there.

        I’ll add my 2 cents- the edt smelled more “horse stable ” to me than the edp. I thought the edp was deeper and smokier, and I personally preferred it to the edt (which didn’t really work for me).

            I meant the EDT smelled more like a horse stable to me ? The EDP much less so (which was a positive change for me). I like the smell of a horse stable when I’m in one, I just don’t want to smell like one ?

        • perfumelover67 says:
          14 November 2019 at 1:15 pm

          CdR EDT was barnyard. When I read horse stable, I thought stable was as in shelf-stable and therefore, tamer than the EDP ? so thanks for the explanation!

I’ve just never been a big No. 5 girl, so I can’t necessarily recognize it from sniffing…. if my sister were here, she’d know. She only wears the original. It’s pretty much her signature,

    Commando at the moment… But I would not mind being in a Chanel perfume later:).

    I’m looking for natural cleaners that don’t smell too bad/strong but that are still effective. I know there is the Method line and the Meyers line..any others? I can smell perfume all day long but some of these household cleaners? Umm no.
    Thanks in advance:).

      Thanks guys, will check out 7th Gen. I got some Ever Spring stuff..very scented in an essential oil type way. Not bad but a bit much. And the Scentiva by Clorox..nice smelling for about 30 seconds till whatever is in it starts to kinda just become toxicy.

      I think I had one from Natural Grocers which was good..might go back to that one too. And I always forget about plain ol’ vinegar. Thanks guys:).

        I am not afraid to admit that Hermes as a perfume house has never blew my socks (nose) off, and most of JCE scents don’t last but a NY minute on me, but this one is different. It’s fresh without being over powerful, yet last on my scent eating skin.
        It also has a little sillage on me, but not much

    Well, no snow yet…we skipped straight to freezing rain. Very glad to live only a few minutes from work.

    SOTD is Montale’s Intense Cafe, which is neither, but “actually, it’s a rose!” is a welcome surprise as far as I’m concerned. It goes well with my tea this morning from The Spice and Tea Exchange of Anchorage – their Victorian Chai, which is also a floral by another name, adding rose and lavender to chai-spiced earl grey.

    Sotd is Coco edp. Every time I wear this, I wonder why I am still searching for the perfect perfume. My version is about 5 years old, and it’s still perfect. Conceding, not as perfect as the original, but still.. one of the bests ever!

      How cosy you smell. I have a strange relation with Coco. For years I have been an EDT aficionado, then a few months ago I spritzed the EDP at a counter and found it more interesting than I remembered, so I bought a bottle which turned out to be a vintage by chance, and fortunately I still find it interesting.

    * Delightful stuff. Introduced to it in Phoenix on a cool day when I needed tea, and asked the waiter what he liked. This was his recommendation, and I ordered a medium bag of it as soon as I got home. If I found a fragrance like this tea, I would be All Over It.

    ** Barely started, but I can say the photography is gorgeous. I’ve had the sitting around book for a while, always promising myself I would crack it out in winter.

    First, just uggggghhhhhhh about the shooting here in Santa Clarita this morning. I am listening to the news and I feel just sick about it. The news is very sad.

    I have loads of Chanels, especially if you count decants. But today I am in Ella by Arquiste–I *might” have gone a little nuts with the Beautyhabit 20% off sale a week ago after I learned I missed out on Le Cri… This shopping therapy was naughty that I’ve shoved most of it under the bed and am rationalizing that it will go as holiday gifts… but the Ella I opened, along with the GWPs, which included several fun perfumes. Ella is one of those that has been on my “buy” list for a while.

    Work is churning along, and I smell wonderful in this truly unisex jasmine and rose (my take on this scent is a little different from Angela’s 2016 review), but gosh the news from Santa Clarita is twisting my stomach.

    Vintage Gucci No3, bought for cheap on ebay. I like it a lot, but sadly it does not last long on me.
    Today my vintage Cinnabar arrived. My mother wore this in the early 80ies, i feel a bit nostalgic. Nowadays she does not wear perfume anymore, because her sense of smell is not good anymore.
    Tomorrow i will wear one of my vintage Chanel scents, still dont know which to choose.

      My mother always wore perfume. She wore Youth Dew, L’Air du Temps, and later on, Tresor. Recently I took her some (to the assisted living place) and she said “Oh no, I’ve never been one for perfume.” It made me very sad. So many things about her are becoming lost.

    Well, I sorted through two big shoeboxes of old samples to find whatever Chanels I might have forgotten I had, and came up with two small and almost empty decants: No. 18 and Cuir de Russie. I took off their caps and dumped the few remaining drops on my hands (separately of course). Very nice! Cuir de Russie is much easier to like, with its musky notes not too dominant to my nose (I have the EDT). The No. 18 is a really strange one though. The decant doesn’t say which version I have but I’m sure it’s very old, possibly even ten years or so. It’s dry and kind of has a sour note to it, but something there is rather tangy and enticing. Must be the ambrette, I guess. I get no florals at all, nor any fruits. My first thought was that it smelled like toast! It’s not my thing, but it’s definitely worth the experience of trying it. We have a dreary rainy day here and I have to take one kitty to the vet this afternoon because he’s doing very poorly lately. His appetite is way off and he acts kind of depressed. He is only three but he’s FIV+ and so I’m quite worried about him. I suspect he’s got some bad teeth problems which –> $$$. Sigh. I will have to decide whether to spend the next thousand dollars on his teeth or my own (I need a new crown badly on a lower molar).

        It was originally the nice canisters that made me buy them, but it means I’d have to look for identical bottles to refill it and not sure I could find vintage refill easily. I like the modern No19 too, less warm in the drydown, more summery.

        I must admit it’s a bonus, realized when I look at the ingredients list (just water, perfume, no list of allergens), but I really like modern No19 with it cooler notes to my nose, ideal for summer. I suppose I should have both vintage and modern (sigh) 🙂

    Today I am wearing the lovely Clinique Blue Sky Neroli. I bought this earlier this year to take on vacation. It is such a small bottle (0.5 oz), that I forget it is present on my perfume tray. I moved it to the front, and plan on wearing it more.

      Oh, I forgot about that set — never even tried it. So it’s a good neroli?

      And this is just all kinds of incorrect! That is what happens when one tries to post and rescue a tree frog from the plant room and get ready for work. Note to self: pick one! Chanel Pour Monsieur, a beautiful neroli, verbena, clean cedar wonder. I know it was created in the 1950’s and I can only imagine how lovely the vintage must be.

          Poor little frog. I am sure it came in as unwilling cargo when I moved all the tropical Bonsai into the house on Monday. I found a good spot in the yard with adequate moisture, leaf cover and some insects! Frog is free!

    Well I *was* wearing 28 La Pausa, but now it’s just the teensiest whisper, even on my shirt. Yesterday was No. 19 parfum from a sample that’s at least 8 years old and smells amazing.

        I tried one last nite, Vdravetz. I love the artwork. It had an opening similar to original Audela…then the medicinal note that was fig like to my nose and had some serious longevity. ( maybe my skin only? I am not sure fig does well on me.)The rose and geranium went well together, it was slightly spicy and tart. Vote: Undecided yet. Please let me know how it fairs on you.

    SOTD = Les Exclusifs de Chanel Coromandel EDT

    … and got a compliment. I wore 28 La Pausa level ?. The admin came around and ask who’s wearing patchouli and of course I said moi! So hopefully it wasn’t a backhanded compliment because she followed it up by saying she has patchouli oil and she loves it but she can’t wear it to the office because it is very strong. I told her what I was wearing and also said I will give her a sample.

    In other news…so far so good with the package receiving service. I had ordered a bunch of things and I have not encountered an issue! It’s worth it for peace of mind. If I break down the cost, it comes out to $1 per day.

      Hello scent twin! Based on what you posted, I think that the perfume compliment you received was a sincere one. Maybe that person is looking for a work-safe patchouli?

    Had to train my supervisor today on one of my accounts. Thankfully he’s very hands-on and gets it so i feel a bit better about it. I’m off tomorrow, getting some long-overdue lowlights and highlights in my hair plus a trim. One more day of work on Monday, woo hoo!

    Commando today, but maybe I’ll put a perfume on at bedtime. My folks and I were in Robin’s town today. Well, Dad dropped Mom and I off at the super-Walmart on Route 1 and went into town to pick up something at Big Lots. We found much of what we wanted at that Walmart.

    I hadn’t realized that Route 52 and part of Route 100 (or what used to be labeled Route 100?) were closed off from the south of us to a southern section of 926. Now we know. I wouldn’t drive on 926 at night. I saw a herd of deer grazing in a meadow near the road as we went along, and I remember seeing herds of deer in various spots near 926 years ago. We got back home just before dark.

    Oh, tea this morning was PG Tips.

      Those deer; not sure what is going on this year! For the last 2 months we had deer hanging out on the side of the road (or on the road) on the way to work. I live in the city, about 10 minutes from my job! Like yours, they graze close to the road and can spring out at any second. Don’t want to have a close-up meeting with them, ever!

      My hubby had to do some defensive driving to avoid a Mom and 2 babies; thankfully he was a driving instructor in another life. The ‘Dad’ had already made it across the road and was on the other side! lol.

    I had a very wacky day.
    I reached MFK540 Rouge extrait and it was delightful.
    I sometimes get anosmic to my own perfumes especially this one. But I love it and can still detect it in my hair. Yay!
