For the first time in over 2 years, I have everything I wanted and desire nothing at the moment. That could change by tomorrow though.

Not that my list is any shorter, but my money will be longer. I shall use said funds to purchase a couple of these that I have sampled .


1. Montale Black Oud ( ehh..em game on?)- Got it- Thanks Vijay!
2. Chanel Egoiste- I should already own this, I can't believe I don't
3. A FULL bottle of HAVANA
4. Dior- Bois D' Argent- still milking a decant
5. T42- for my daughter .She has depleted my decant.
6. Maybe a Creed of some sort- still debating which one and if it's worth it.

I have quite a wishlist of decants that I'm perfecting.

Oh, and Thrax, imo, Amber Sultan>Amber Precieux. Much more interesting.

My wants are simple

Some nice wishlists that have been posted. For me:

Egoiste
Dior Homme - now that I have sampled it I like it
Le Dandy
Havana
Tea for Two
Tam Dao - unless I find a better sandalwood frag. Thanks to the sandalwood thread for introducing this to me.

Or others that strike my fancy as I come across them and money is left available (which is not very often).

L'Occitane Green Tea and Mint
L'Occitane Eau De 4 Voleurs
Acqua Di Parma Colonia

Anyone familiar with the Green Tea and Mint? It is on clearance/sale right now, and I haven't had a chance to give it a thorough test drive. I was instantly attracted to it when I first smelled it last weekend.

It was just too much for me to pass up two L'Artisan scents that are discontinued, but bottles of which were still available at the SoHo boutique:

L'Artisan Vetiver
L'Artisan Santal

I also just scored a 1 oz. spray of R de Capucci, and a half-ounce splash of Lancome Trophee. Essentially, I'm always ready to acquire a discontinued scent that I don't already own a bottle of.

I want SMN's Melograno. It'll be a late Christmas present to myself, and I'm going to get it really soon.

Go for it! I just ordered myself a bottle of SMN Acqua di Cuba which should be arriving any day now.

Ah, the memories ...I can recall testing Acqua di Cuba a few years back as if it was only yesterday: the frantic gasps for fresh air, the bulging eyes. Retested a couple of weeks ago, and decided I had to have a bottle!

mmmmmm....
the big bottle of odeur 53 (and maybe 71 as well).
decants of chergui and aomassai are en route, but bottles will be on the list in short order i think.
bottle of MPG parfum d'habit, and decants of a few other MPGs.
bottle of Fou d'Absinthe
bottle of l'Antimatiere

that should hold me over for a while...

Definitely an incense - either Kyoto or Passage d'Enfer
And Faizan's (zztopp) Creed Bois de Santal sample blew me away! Of the santals I've tried thus far, this is the "most likely to succeed" - a must own...

Now, quickly, everyone go deplete the available supply so Scentsibility can't get any!

LV Sandalo was pretty impressive as well, but if I couldn't own both, BdS wins out...

I doubt I'll be getting much money back, but, on my wish list for 2007 are full bottles of:

Apothia - If
F. Malle - Musk Ravageur
Parfums de Nicolai - Vie de Chateau
Lorenzo Villoresi - Musk

And last but not least...a big ol' whoppin' bell jar of:

Lutens - Borneo 1834 (I've been planning on taking a 4 day trip to Paris later this year and this will be my special purchase)

And after that...I'll be all done(hehehe...right.)

Kim

PS: I've just sampled Montale - Blue Amber(oohhh dreamy)....looks like I may have to add just one more to the list. oy.
