shopping lists

Oh how I love writing lists of the stuff I want to buy next and how I LOVE to mark them as bought or delete them from said lists. Always do it with a lot of joy and fulfillment. My hardest task is to stay true to those lists and avoid impulse purchases, which is almost always impossible, but still something I struggle hard to maintain since my shopping lists just grows larger and larger if I never go ahead.

I've been very good this month actually and only got stuff I've noted as much needed fragrances. The only one to arrive yet is Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Aqua Motu. That one was actually almost an impulse buy, but I'll let it slip this time.
One their way are:
L'Artisan - L'Eau de L'Artisan (thank you viktorov)

I've had it as a sample for quite a while and even though it is light and fleeting I can't help but love the grassy topnotes. I wanted this one for a long time now and when viktorov's offer came up on the sell board I took my chance.

Montale - Soleil de Capri (thank you maisonstinky)

Out of the 10 samples I ordered from Vijay, SdC was one of the instant loves. I have another 2-3 I really like as well and some of them will be future purchases for sure. I hope this one will become my summer staple with it's adorable creaminess.

Serge Lutens - Daim Blond (thank you Ebay)

Finally, the scent I've adored for I don't know how long (well actually, from the same time scentuer7/perfumecritic's decants landed on my porch, but I can't remember when that was) and said that I want to force it to become my signature scent wearing it exclusively for a month, is finally on it's way home to me. Why oh why did I wait this long? Magic and seduction in a bottle. I always envy the ones how get to smell my surroundings while I'm wrapped in this fragrance. Daim Blond reminds me of why I got into fragrances in the first place...

Santa Maria Novella - Nostalgia (thank you mum and dad)

Last but certainly not least, Nostalgia! My parents are on vacation in Italy and passed through Florens yesterday. They just scent me a SMS telling me they bought me a bottle. This is a new love, but one I've had so high hopes on. dr.creed helped me with a small decant and it was love at first sniff. It is everything it promised and more. And my girlfriend just loves it on me!

I can't believe how many sought after fragrances there are coming my way this month. I wish I stayed true to my shopping lists more.

Coming purchases:
Frederic Malle - Vétiver Extraordinaire
Frederic Malle - Musc Ravageur
Serge Lutens - Chergui
Comme des Garçons - Odeur 71
Comme des Garçons - 2 Man
Costes - Room Spray
Diptyque - Philosykos
Gendarme - Carriere
Montale - Wood & Spices
Montale - Ginger Musk
L'Artisan - Passage D'Enfer
L'Artisan - Tea for Two
Agatha Brown - Conquest
Shiseido - Basala
Gianfranco Ferré - Ferré

What have you got?

Yes! Amazing! I still have some left from a sample dr.creed included when I got some decants from him, but I will very soon run out so I bet that one will be coming this way next month. I really can't add another one to my purchased-list this month.
