Friday scent of the day 2/21

Posted by Robin on 21 February 2020 247 Comments

It's Friday and International Mother Language Day and Nina Simone's birthday. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance by Parfum d'Empire, Parfums DelRae, Penhaligon's, Pacifica or Parfumerie Generale, if you have one. (Yes, we already did a community project for Parfums de Nicolaï). Partial credit for any other small-ish brand that starts with the letter P.

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.

You guessed it, I'm in Parfum d'Empire Azemour Les Orangers. (And, a quick note, I'm hitting the road again later today, going to various places for various family reasons. I will probably be back home next Thursday.)

Reminder: 2/28 will be Unicorn Friday: wear a perfume you suspect no one else (or almost no one else) on Now Smell This owns, or something that you very rarely see worn or mentioned. Suggested by Oakland Fresca. 

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2020, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

    Well too many house guests, I can’t to my bedroom and my perfumes so no scent today. My niece and her 18 month old baby needed a bigger bed. My niece has actually taught the baby how to sniff for smells like flowers and perfume. It is super fun to watch the baby smell perfume.
    Love the picture for today. Really — I love most of them. Tea pot “porn” many days, as I have too many tea pots already. I really love reading this blog each morning, although sometimes I am too early. Thanks.

      Hope I was early enough for you today then shellyw! And do have fun with visiting family. 18 months is such a great age, it is worth missing a day’s perfume for 🙂

        I think few get up at 4:40 and are online by 5:30. I usually check back later in the day. I really love it when I can read it in the morning like today! thanks

      I wonder if a baby raised around perfumes is likely to understand them better when she is older, the way children who are taught music from very young learn it better…

    Safe travels, Robin!

    Wearing Parfum d’Empire Fougere Bengale. Sample thunked! Not my cup of tea. Lots of tobacco, herbal notes and vanilla. A masculine scent that is definitely not for me.

    For McDonald’s lovers:

    I like Quaker Pounders, but not enough to have my place smell like it.
    Happy Friday, everyone!

    Wearing just a wee bit of Penhaligon’s Cairo on my inner elbow under my clothes. LOVE THIS STUFF. It’s rich and warm and incense done right. The Perfume Grinch shouldn’t be bothered by it, and it he is then he needs to get out of my personal space! 🙂

    Last night I pulled out my boxes of samples to find Cairo, and my hubs sat on the bed in amazement at how many samples I’ve amassed over the years. LOL I don’t think he’d ever really noticed how far down the rabbit hole I’ve been….

    I’m with Robin in Azemour les Oranges today – it’s heavenly, and Mr. G enjoyed it too when I came downstairs for our customary hug and chat before we go off on our separate ways for the day. It’s a GORGEOUS morning here, clear and very chilly, with the sky that luminous color of blue that I can’t describe adequately. Happy Friday everyone!

    SOTD: Black Cashmere

    We are back to 22 degrees in NYC today. It’s cold out there campers, but happy in my puffer, hat & gloves.

    4 months today at my new job. Wow! How time flies. All good but starting to get irritated by my colleague who overthinks things. What a brain he’s got and there’s definitely places where more thought is needed but, not everything needs analysis of every option/angle/nuance and it’s beginning to frustrate me. There is wisdom in knowing where to take this kind of time and when not to.

He’s terribly overworked but he sort of brings it on himself by writing out long explanations of things where a simple yes or no would do!

    Will you still make SOTD posts on Monday – Wednesday, or is NST on a break till Thursday?

    Since I wanted to wear as many P scents as possible, today I applied:
    Penhaligon’s Castile
    Penhaligon’s Lavandula
    Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia

    It is a very bight and refreshing combo. 🙂

    I’m wearing the last of a small decant of Le Cri de la Lumière. I remember buying it, but I don’t remember wearing it enough to empty the decant. I suppose it could have evaporated. Now I’m wondering if I need another (larger) decant. When I first put it on, I wasn’t impressed. Now however, it smells beautiful. I’ll have to check my favorite decant houses.

    • Elisa P says:

      I had the same experience with dismissing it on first try. I think wearing it in warmer weather might’ve changed my perception of it, but I love it now. Holding off on more until I finish my decant, and like MMK, will see if I still want more at that point.

    I saved my favorite P for last: PG Bois Blond from my dwindling decant. I liked perfume way before I met Bois Blond, but BB was really my rabbit hole perfume. I didn’t know perfumes could smell like this (greens, then hay, amber, musky woods) before this one.

    Have we done that as a CP, Robin? Wear your rabbit hole perfume.

    I’m wearing Parfumerie Generale’s Iris Taizo, apparently now known as Iris Oriental but mine is an older sample. Pretty enough but I am underwhelmed – I don’t think it’s the age, I tried it when I first got it and there’s a reason it’s sat around so long since then! I think I’m just not that into orientals.

    SotD is Wit. This sample was included with a Luckyscent order a few years ago. Florals aren’t really my thing but this one is really pretty. The other DelRae’s were on my to try list but I guess I have missed out on those.
    Had my yearly eval with my manager yesterday and that went very well. Spring is typically annual raise time and usually they are standard of living raises across the board. Last year there was rumblings that we might be going to performance based raises. We shall see…

    I’m smelling like fields full of daffodils in Ostara by Penhaligon’s. Daffodils are my favourite flowers doing their best to remind us that spring is on the way when pretty much everything is grey and drab.

        There have been a lot of these sales recently and they are making me a little worried about Twisted Lily! Anyone know how the store is doing?

          I actually asked them once a while back when I was in the store because I had the same worry. They said they just try and clear stuff out to make room for new things. They may have taken things off the website in order to get rid of the things they want moved out.

          I suspect it is an unannounced going out of business sale as there is hardly any stock left and whole lines are being removed. Their sister site Parfum1 is gone. But I hope I am wrong.

          Adding very late that a couple days ago EauMG’s story on Instagram said they are closing. She’s NYC/NJ based. Based on all the markdowns they’ve done over the past few months and their discount code frequency, it wouldn’t surprise me.

      • cazaubon says:

        There are a couple of threads at Basenotes confirming they are going out of business. Not sure if the brick & mortar store cost them too much money, or if it was due to all their discount codes. Luckyscent almost never gives discount codes and I think it’s probably necessary to maintain profitability.

    SOTD Puredistance White. Thought about Azemour but the weather is too grey and cloudy. I have a bottle of Puredistance 1 but I noticed recently that the topnotes have turned, not that strange since I bought it 12 years ago. Since it’s a favorite I plan on a replacement bottle.

    Was going to wear Ostara, but remembered my Pacifica rollerballs in French Lilac and Tunisian jasmine lime… unfortunately, the rollerballs aren’t working properly, and I got very little out of them. What little I got doesn’t smell that good….

    So, I’ll wait awhile and dig out my Ostara. Then will be heading out into the cold soon. I’m on a mission to find a couple of stackable drawers for under my bathroom sink. Container Store, here I come…

      Perfume cousins with Penhaligon’s. How is the Iris?

      PSA alert.. I was watching a perfume video on YT who had mentioned a great shop in San Diego for vintage men’s fragrance. Not sure if you like vintage scents or if the shop carries ‘women’s scents’ as well but the fragrances are the real deal.

      It’s at The Headquarters at The Seaport in case you are interested!

        The only thing I see listed at Seaport Headquarters is The Perfume Gallery, which looks like one of those generic mainstream perfume kiosks, but next time I’m in the neighbourhood I’ll peek in.

        The Iris Prima is a leathery iris, but very delicate. Pleasant but very little sillage.

    Penhaligon’s Sartorial is the only thing I could find with a P. I like it a lot, but it’s not really me. I hate gendering things that are inanimate, but just maybe, it’s too masculine. So I paired it with bright fuchsia lipstick just to be an enigma.

    Maybe I can convince my boyfriend to wear it?

        It’s a good house. They have a lot of classics, Blenheim Bouquet is Prince Charles’s scent. They have samplers. They also have a newish line with animal heads as caps which seems to have been successful with the public. But the prices have gone up (sigh).

    Did a super early morning hike today- like, before COFFEE early! I got a wild hair and drove out to the desert last night and camped at the deserted trailhead. Consequently, I’m in Eau de Sweat, but I’m going to spray some Papillon Perfumes Salomé to really finish it off?

    After breakfast and coffee, we are headed to some historic sites in the desert. We may get lost, who knows. Here’s a photo of the start of our morning hike. The destination was way back into that canyon in the horizon. We’re pooped! ?

    My scent is Pacifica Persian Rose solid perfume.It is a lovely rose scent and I love all of my little tins of Pacifica solids more now that they aren’t available.Somehow the new solid perfume sticks aren’t the same to me especially with most of my favorite scents discontinued.

      I’m your twin today, except in spray perfume form. I like, but don’t love, this one. The strong lemony opening tickles my nose and reminds me somewhat of household cleaner, but eventually it softens to a deep, dusky, slightly spicy rose, that nicely suits a cold winter day. But we’re enjoying 4 straight days of bright sunshine here, almost unheard of in February in the Midwest, so no complaints here!

      I’ve had several of the solid Pacifica scents but they seem to lose their scent quickly, so you are lucky! But I do really enjoy the liquid spray perfume, especially Tuscan Blood Orange, Temple Mountain Incense, Malibu Lemon Blossom, and French Lilac.

      Wishing everyone a sunny weekend ahead!

    SotD = Parfums DelRae Wit

    I love Wit! It’s perfect for today – the sun is shining, fluffy clouds float in a blue sky, and it feels like spring is coming.

    Glad I bought this bottle a few years ago. It’s aged well, and the packaging/presentation were just lovely. A+ 😀

    Happy FriYAY, perfumed peeps! Looking forward to reading everyone’s choices. Hope your day is spectacularly scented.

    Partial credit, I think, in Parfums MDCI Promesse de l’Aube. A gorgeous day here, but my laundry room sink is backed up and very stinky. Plumber time. Oh, the joys of home ownership.

      • Calypso says:

        Yeah, mine is $60 just to come but that goes toward the repair if I choose it, which should be $100. But they can’t come until Monday, so I am watching things to decide if I need another plumber on an emergency basis. I’m a bit peeved because I pay to be a supposedly “preferred customer,” and now, what good is that?

        Musc Maori is a somewhat sweet dark chocolate scent with either a hint of coffee or hazelnuts in it, according to my sniffer. Maybe both coffee and hazelnuts. One spray is plenty for me.

    Do I get credit for wearing The Party in Manhattan by The Party? It’s the decant I’m finishing this week. Gosh, I love this. I describe it as the crazy love child of MItsouko and Jubilation 25. It’s an amazing fruity chypre that’s completely natural. But since I already have bottles of vintage Mitsouko and Jubilation 25, I’m not sure I “need” a bottle of this. And it’s super expensive (though I think if you buy it in Europe it’s much cheaper).

      I have heard the name of your fragrance a number of times. Do you happen to know where it is sold in Europe outside of the UK?
      I would love to try the love child of Jub.25 and Mitsouko.

        It’s from Italy. See: https://www.profumeriagambarini.it/catalog/category/view/id/57

        It’s 165 euros there, as opposed to like 500 dollars in the US.

    Penhaligon’s Ostara for me! One of the only fragrances for which I have not one but two backup bottles, since they discontinued it not long after its launch. I still resent that, but I have my backups!

    Well, I read some posts in the morning yesterday but never got a chance to post. I wore the fun and cheerful Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom, and last night I tried my just-arrived samples of Füm Aloha Lei and the reformulated Nerola. I will probably buy a bottle of Nerola after I use up the sample. It’s the most gorgeous and long-lasting neroli/citrus perfume. I can still smell it this morning!
