Goodmorning! It's Sinterklaas today.

I wear Eau de Camille because I planned to go out, but I have to stay at home. Youngest son is ill, so I'm nursing.

I'm really glad to say that I'm officially back to normal now How's your cold?
post #14 of 52
That's great to hear. It must have been quite scary (as well as sore!)
The cold is almost gone and I feel fine although I am still coughing a bit. I can smell though! Thanks for asking.

Happy holidays to all the Dutchies in our BN family!

Lievje, I wish a quick recovery to your dear son, and Ineespenes and Indiscreet, glad to here all are on the mend!!

Yesterday's talk of NMF Midnight Tryst got me going a bit, so today I am in Neil Morris Fragrances Gotham. All "don't mess with me... though I bet you'd have fun if you did" in smooth leather with a touch of damp mist, and roses.

Me too!
I like the parfum better than the EDT.
It contains a much stronger peach at the bottom, and that is what I live for when I wear Mitsouko--that woody peach.

Cool. What do you think?
I thought I was the only person who loved this one. Smells like roses and leather--like the rose hand cream in the old-fashioned white glass jar. Decadently rosy.

Season's Greetings to the Dutchies!

Inees, so glad to hear that your eye is better. What a relief!

And that your cold is better Indiscreet.

Wearing Ghandara by Neil Morris today. Wow. This guy is GOOD. This is the fourth of his fragrances that I've tested (Midnight Tryst, October, Gotham, and Ghandara) and I love them all.

Joy, I don't know whether to thank you or blame you for the samples! My bank account is quivering in fear.

I would have wound up in Groningen.
NOT South Boston, LOL...
But I'm SO rusty.

Today I am wearing Lentheric's classic Tweed. This is Lentheric's scent not a later Tweed by another manufacturer or a reorchestrated version.

Tweed is a chypre with carnation, jasmine, lavender and bergamot. The patchouli is restrained and does not overwhelm the mossy base. Glad I finally got a bottle of the original. My mom and her sisters used to wear this one and it is a great fragrance.

Excellent! Just got a sample of that. Love the name, had to try it. It's not at all what I thought it would be and I actually like it more than I expected. Night Bird!!!!

I've been really curious about this one ... what do you think of it?

I'm wearing Bandit today.
post #46 of 52
This whole traumatization of:
how much to wear?
is it too much?
can someone smell it?
Left me a little empty.

But, there's always resampling
of the bottles that haven't been
touched in ages.

On this evening I have 6 SotE

Sensi, Paul Smith London, Jasmin Neroli
and on the other arm
Princesse Muscat, Juicy Couture, Armani Code

This is FUN!!!!!

I, erm, I'm not wearing any perfume today.
I'm coming down with my hubby's cold and actually forgot to spritz.
Blimey.

Anyway, happy Sinterclaus. Here it's Sammiklaus tomorrow and St Nick will do something in Basel Cathedral and we have the big winter market in town. I thought it was the same day for the Dutch, so don't tell my half Dutch hubby and hopefully we can celebrate it tomorrow.
(And yes, I have one of those amazing Dutch surnames that no non-Dutch person can spell or pronounce.)

I'm wearing Bandit today.

Patchouli Antique's opening is musty and pungent, almost like entering a damp basement. Fortunately, the musty opening phase transitions into a damp, rich, earthy patchouli. This where the fragrance exudes the feel of an out-of-time classic patchouli scent while moving slowly and steadily towards eventually revealing its slightly sweeter side. Vanilla and musk arrive about 2-3 hours into the wearing and the now faded patchouli blends into the flow for the remainder of the ride. The patchouli note in the base is lingering but still quite evident. A welcome change from fresh and clean, Patchouli Antique is damp and earthy with a mildly sweet twist.

If I did not know Patchouli Antique was from Les Nereides, I would have guessed Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier was the house behind it. The potency of the patchouli in the early heart phase reminds me of the deep, earthy feel and smell of Profumum Patchouly. Patchouli Antique is an interesting, well crafted fragrance with all-day longevity and moderate sillage. Its surprisingly low retail price makes it one of the best buys around.

Sprays:6
Longevity:10-12 hours plus
Sillage: Moderate
RIYL: Profumum Patchouly, Santa Maria Novella Patchouli,...patchouli.

Many thanks to Renee [rtamara41] for sending the sample that introduced me to this scent and to scentemental for inspiring me to continue exploring the Les Nereides line. One of the most underrated houses around.

PS: Bandit gives me impure thoughts. It's wicked fun.
