This evening some Pasha by Cartier. It's warm here, and the minty ambiance this produces is quite nice!

Dark Rose (vintage) by Czech & Speake (first time from a sample - thanks pelle)



The saffron/rose/aoud similarities to Montale are extremely evident upon spraying this, but very quickly you notice the DR is more jammy sweet, not so loud and extremely beautiful and soft. It has everything that I love about Black Aoud, minus all of the things I don't like about Black Aoud. Wow!

I plan on sampling side-by-side the vintage and the new juice - to see how they differ.

Montale Aoud Lime from a sample.



It's currently 103°F with 16% humidity where I am and I'm finding this scent incredibly refreshing.

There has to be something oddly ironic there somewhere...

Anyway, today's SOTD is my first test of Andy Warhol's Silver Factory by Bond No. 9.



Andy Warhol redefined art, largely by taking the familiar, swathing it in new color, and presenting it as fine art. Celebrity photos, soup cans, whatever - he took images that were in the familiar pantheon and basically declared them art.

Silver Factory does that with a smell, and the smell is hamster cage. We all know it from growing up - the cedar shavings, plastic and metal, and the musky urinous smell of the hampster. Much like celebrity images or a Campbell's soup can, it's immediately familiar. But Silver Factory redefines one of the most familiar scents in suburban Americana by juxtaposing it with swatches of odor that come and go (berries, flowers, amber, smoky rubber, and even Coca-Cola). And, in the Warhol tradition, simply saying that it's art makes it art. (It could be argued that giving it a list of notes like "wood resin" and "incense", as well as charging $230 for the smell of a hamster cage makes it art, too...)

I could write a sizable essay on this, but I'll stop now, because it's getting late. Happy weekend everyone!

Hermes - Eau de Pamplemousse Rose

First test of it from the samples I got in the mail. Smells nice, very nice grapefruit but not enough rose and certainly not enough longevity. With Eau d'Orange Verte it's ok becuase it's cheap, but for that much with that terrible longevity, I don't think it's in my future.
