Hi,
It's been a while since I've really delved back in here. But I had to come back, I've learned a lot about fragrance since signing up
The most wonderful surprise to me was I was not liking many of the scents suggested to me at first, for example.. Hermes' Eau de Merveilles. Now, I can't get enough of it.
Other new faves...
Calypso Mimosa by Christian Celle
Vintage Gardenia by Jo Malone
Bois Farine and Chasse Aux Papillon by L'Artisan
More summery faves...
Cologne a la Italienne, by Institut Tres Bien
Cucumber baie by Index Fresh
Rockin Rio by Escada
And the thing is, some of the scents I have and used to love before are now not so appealing, such as...
Chanel Chance
Volupte
Michael Kors
Lolita Lempicka
Burberry Brit Red
J'lo Miami
J'Adore
The most disappointing thing is that Bois Farine, which I absolutely LOVE, and smells so warm but clean on me, seems to fade so quickly. I recently bought the large bottle, and I am going to go right through it - not so good for my pocket. I find myself sniffing my arm all day
I have to force myself to hold back on using my Xmas gift cards on fragrances only... but its just soooo goooood!!!
So I have a question.. do ya think any of the scents I love (the newest ones), have anything particular in common? I have trouble distinguishing/identifying what "types" of fragrances each is, I just like the way they smell... and I want MORE.
Looking forward to more sampling and shopping,
Pepper
