How about having our second SSD on Sunday January 2nd?

And if you're game, please suggest also a scent or two (or three...) To refresh your memory the first SSD scent was Anglique Encens so leave that one out.

I'll be away for a week but when I'm back, I'll start the poll!

Sounds fabulous, dahlink! :-* I'll be visiting family that day and must, MUST smell fantastic! ;D I guess I'll get it started with a few suggestions:

Must de Cartier
Messe de Minuit
Nuit de Noel

For anyone who hasn't participated, or for those who have forgotten -- we "nominate" fragrances, then Tigs puts together the official polls for voting. Everyone is invited and welcome to participate!

At least you've softened the blow (a vote for Nu! ) with one of the most comforting scents I know. I'd be happy to wear either of them myself, but members of the The No-Nus Is Good-Nus Club may feel the need to invoke Tiggy's 'No Scent That Makes Us Sick' rule (I'm paraphrasing, but you get the gist).

Actually, didn't they sell it to Yves Saint Laurent for Champagne, and it was Saint Laurent who got taken to court?

Anyway, I'll be nice this time and not nominate Envy just to yank Tigs' crank. ;D

Paris! Everybody in Paris!

Paris is a great scent but I cannot wear this a January 2nd - implies so much spring time for me !

Here are the votes (suggestions) from the French jury :

- Royal Bain de Champagne
- Shalimar
- Coco
- Chergui

I just thought I should mention, for any new members who might be wondering what the heck SSD is -- it's Scent Synchronization Day, which the men's forum has been doing for some time now (and in which you can also participate). So right now we're nominating fragrances that will then be put into a poll for final vote. On January 2nd, all who would like to participate (it is not, of course, mandatory) will wear the 'winning' fragrance that day and you can post your thoughts, stories or impressions (good or bad) of the fragrance.

Well, I know several of the women have participated in the Mens' SSDs for M7 and Guerlain Vetiver, and several guys (including me) participated in the first Female SSD (Anglique Encens), so the more, the merrier!

Keep the votes coming!

The current situation is a six-way tie, only one scent hasn't got any votes so far. But no more spoilers...
