Love's True Bluish Light was certainly my summer favorite for all three months. I have used up a bottle and my daughters have become fans too. It layers brilliantly with many scents from Elizabethan Rose to incesey accords.

Other favorites were Nanadebary Green, a superb ebay purchase
Folie de Rose (ebay again)
AL Moss
Habanita
and a collection of samples that grows like kudzu.

This summer was all about Nanadebary Green. I rarely turned to anything else. Only in the past two weeks have I pushed myself back into my usual wardrobe mix.

Do you folks actually keep written records of what you wear on a daily basis, or just total up the SOTD threads or something? I'm just wondering. I wouldn't have a clue what I wore when, or how many times. I go with the whim of the day...

...I'm admiring you by the way, not taking the pee. I'm just in awe of such dedication!

Normally, Clem, I click on my username to get to my member profile and click on "Find all posts by Quarry." Then I scroll down, counting up my SotD choices.

Until I started doing this, I had a warped perception of what I was using proportion-wise. Of course, recent Basenotes technical difficulties have left this summer's posts scattered.

That's kind of why I asked, because I don't do SOTD every day, and losing Basenotes for the summer means we don't have that facility. I just wondered if people were keeping perfume diaries (what a cool idea anyway!)...I wonder if I could remember/be bothered to do that...probably I'd start off all gung-ho, and then tail off after a while. Story of my life! :-)

I always write down my SotD in my diary and every now and then update the stats (list of my frags on the left, months on top).

I started to keep stats in 2004 and have been doing it ever since, it's interesting to see which scents you actually wear most often, they aren't necessarily the ones you love most.

I started keeping a tally a few months ago.
Yeah it's a bit anal but I write down my workouts and all the rollercoasters I've ridden so why not keep track of my other interest?

You see, it's this kind of dedicated organisation that I yearn for (but never attain). I should try this (but I know I won't keep it up). What a splendid thing to do though...to see your perfumed history over the years, on a kind of life-map would be tremendous, wouldn't it?

I started doing that with the films I went to see - back when I went to the cinema every week at least once and sometimes twice (I had an unlimited pass)...but I stopped. I tried it with books I was reading too. And I stopped. I have no stickability.

I keep track of mine too on a Word Document ... Its fun to look back sometimes.

For August, I had three repeaters: Musc Ravageur, Fire Island, and Bandit (two wearings each) and I also tested for the first time: Caron Poivre.
