Most worn in October

post #1 of 25

Statistics time again, nerdettes and nerds!

5\tCologne Mûre et Musc, Mûre et Musc
4\tChypre Rouge, Mûre et Musc Extrême, Vetiver (Etro)
2\tCarnation (Mona di Orio), Dzongkha, Jolie Madame, Messe de Minuit

All three Mûre et Musc variations are high because I packed Mûre et Musc Trio with me to the trip to Paris.

My brand new Chypre Rouge is another winner and an instant success, it also matches the cold, dark and stormy weather very well.

Otherwise incense and vetiver seem to have been close to my heart...

[QUOTE=Riannon]
The rest of the days I seem to have been bouncing through the whole collection. Unfaithful kind of a woman, I suppose.
But there have been other scents after 'SotD'. I simply did not made a note of it. But by heart I would say:
Lots of Rahat Loukoum, La Myrhhe, Ambre et Diamant Noir, Jicky and Theorema. Quite sure of these. [QUOTE]
Dear Riannon, I am just as promiscuous when it comes to fragrances. Look at my list above, I have been trying hard to alter my muses everyday.

Coconut, I love you!!
And I just edited my mailing after reading your list! Thought I misunderstood the meaning. I am confessing every single scent I had for SotD Next time I wait till everybody has coughed up, and THEN I mail.
Feeling extremely silly right now

Eau des Merveilles -3
Eau des Merveilles layered over Elixir des Merveilles -1
Donna Karan Gold EdP -2

Some impulsive purchases this month meant taking cover in the familiar, hence not a lot of repetition. Have had a significant number of Bad-Perfume Days (aka "Scrubwoman Days"). Also sold off things that I had randomly uneasy relationships with, subtracting ten from my collection.

I only had two repeat wearings this month: Angel and Ambre Sultan with two wearings each.

I tested two new-to-me scents this month: Miss Sixty and Montale Steam Aoud, neither one will end up on my wish list.

I had one repeat: Dior Addict.

I sampled SL Fleurs d'Oranger for the first time and was smitten.

I have not been tracking. But I'm going to start again tomorrow, excel sheet and all.

I'm pretty sure I wore mostly samples this month, and none more than twice.

Oh MAN - didn't realize this thread existed and of course have not kept any kind of record of ANYTHING, but feel "promiscuity" doesn't even do it justice.:bounce: Talk about a fragrance tart.

But that's OK - I plead inexperience and innocence (heh heh) and will get organized.

See you next month with the stats!

This month included a good deal of sampling, including a foray into the company of Caron frags. The most notable thing is having discovered (thanks to Shycat) what DSH Nouveau Gardenia does to La Chasse aux Papillons. This layering combination takes me to new highs in floral ecstacy.

I didn't keep a record of my sotd for every day, but I'm pretty confident that my most worn this month was Coco Mlle. I've worn it almost every day since I bought it.

I also wore a lot of light and/or floral fragrances this month: Eau du Ciel, Fleurs d'Oranger, Fracas, Pleasures Intense, FSBT Breathe, Sheer Obsession and Amazing Grace.

For me:

2-Winter Delice; Azahar
3-Sweet Oriental Dream; NK Lavande; Asja; Angelique Encens
4-Lolita Lempicka
6-Coco
12- Feminite du Bois

I wish I could say I was surprised about FdB, but since I got the courage to finally try it out last year it's been my "autumn scent" for 2 years now. It's about all I can do not to reach for it. I think it's a most perfect creation!

Coco- of course is not a surprise either. The two biggest surprises were Winter Delice (feeling festive already???) and Lolita Lempicka. Hadn't worn that one in quite a while and then such a flurry.

That's why it's so hard to thin out fragrances. Ones you haven't worn in awhile become suddenly the only thing you want to wear!

This month went fast dn my documentation was not 100%, adn it seems I had only 3 repeats (!)

3 wearings of Shalimar eau légère
2 wearings of Hiris
2 wearings of KM Loukhoum

Had some lovely sampling experiences this month! Due to this, a tie between Caron and Guerlain in representation of the houses with different scents. Guerlain wins the amount of wearings though.

My list is rather more (ahem) modest:

Samsara
Chanel No. 19
Iris Poudre
Une Rose
Champs Elysees
Fumerie Turque
brief one-limb flirtations with Chanels 5, 22, Coco & Crystalle, Apres L'Ondee, Mitsouko & Shalimar and various freebie samples best forgotten.

I never thought I'd say this, but I want to be a fragrance tart when I grow up (scentwise) ;-)
