SotD Thursday 11 March  

My SOTD is Guerlain Mitsuoko EDP – or Eau de Old Lady as some "affectionately" refer to it. Have a Guerlain day everyone!

Notes include bergamot, jasmine, rose, peach, oak moss, pepper, cinnamon, and vetiver.

Going to fall asleep in LLP Most Precious.

Hypnotic Poison, baby!

Love that picture Joe!

I'm in A*Men Pure Malt this morning.

Morning all,

started the day early at 5.15 am in Christiane Celle's Calypso Thé.

Started the day in Burberry London.

Ended the day with Lolita Lempicka EDP on my left wrist and Dior Addict on the other.

Arpege EDP (new version).

Armani Night.

Good morning all Off to most likely argue / discuss a bit with an office today. I'm thinking that at least L'heure bleue will make me feel confident and classy. Have a nice day all!!

Testing a sample of Sonoma Scent Studio Tabac Aurea on wrists and wearing Molinard Habanita.



Have a great day all.

Good morning, everyone!

A homebody today, I will spritz a mist of Bodycology Gardenia to put a spring in my step.

May each of us engage our imagination to the fulllest...

Great pic, J !

Aromatics Elixir- great perfume, period.

Have a good and a safe day ,everyone.

Aramis JHL this morning

Big hugs, my friends...
How are you all this am ?

L'Instant for bed, after all.

I'm awaiting a few 'bon marche' packages...
[You know, the stuff perfumistas dream of and can actually afford !, LOL ]
I can't go scentless-
Heaven forfend !
So, Niki de st. Phalle for workout.

Later...maybe Rosine ?

Kisses to all.

Love that picture, Joe! It's great!

I've been feeling unwell -- chilly and sickly -- for the last few days. The Mitsouko I applied late yesterday really disagreed with me, so I am steering clear of anything of that ilk. I needed a floral with a bit of substance today, so went for Patou 1000.

Green Irish Tweed for me today.

Wish you all a terrific Thursday.

Chanel Bois des Iles for me today

Feel better soir!

Iris Pallida 2007 by L'Artisan Parfumeur

I went to bed last night in Shanti Shanti Miller et Bertaux... starting today off in Datura Noir Serge Lutens. Beautiful, but it certainly is fleeting on me though. I can tell already that I will adding another SoTD.

Soir, I hope you feel better soon!

Wearing SL Bois de Violette today. I have a mamo scheduled for later this morning.

Dawn Spencer Horowitz Amber for me today - spectacular for amber lovers!

(Mine is not the vintage, but I thought the bottle was so pretty.... For the stats, it is my SotD. Last night's SotN was Guerlain Vol de Nuit.)

Hello everybody!

I'm delighted to be scent-twins with mysticknot today, in Aromatics Elixir...not only great, it's perfect.

Something I found in my bag: MK Romantic Petals EdT...

Still fighting the lurgy, this time wearing Bvlgari Blv. Trying for a homeopathic cure, with Blv's odd hot/cold temperature fluctuations, overlayed with a touch of the more traditional lemon and ginger. Bvlgari Flv?

A lazy Thursday in front of me as I am currently caught up on most of my "to-do" list.

For day four of amber week I am going for it as unadulterated as I can get it.

Madini Amber

Sometimes you just want your favorite things with nothing else around them. When I order bourbon I order it “straight, no chaser” because I don’t want any water to alter my enjoyment of it. In fragrance that opportunity comes along less frequently as most fragrances are compositions consisting of many notes. But like my bourbon there is just a time that I want to wear my favorite notes as unadulterated as I can get them. When I want to do that I turn to a small Moroocan perfumery Madini.

Madini, according to their history on the website, have been a family business for fourteen generations. Madini produces perfume oils that are strong and only require a small application to be surrounded in fragrance. At the price, for these kind of fragrances, Madini might be the best bang for your buck perfume House out there.

Madini Amber is nothing complex it is amber that has been beachcombed off the shoreline in Morocco, again according to their website i.e. take it with a grain of salt, and turned into Amber. This fragrance starts with the intense almost medicinal aspect that amber can give but the longer it is on my skin the warmer and softer it becomes and towards the end it almost takes on a woody aspect.

Madini Amber has excellent longevity and excellent sillage.

Amber is one of those notes, when used in other perfumes, that has a great deal of versatility. What is nice about wearing Madini Amber is all by itself that complexity is released over time while on my skin; straight, no chaser.

Have a Tranquil Thursday everyone.

Roberto, you smell DELICIOUS today!
Feel better, Soir!
Same to you, Petra, hope you fight off the lurgy successfully.

Eva Pasco - I love the quotes you've been posting, today's included. Thank you!

Sharing the house with Ubu in L'Artisan Parfumeur, Safran Troublant for me.

Best to all!

Ambre Sultan - Serge Lutens
was wearing Black Aoud yesterday

I'm wearing Ma Griffe EdP today, just aquired after not having owned any for years. I'd forgotten how much I like it.

I have this bottle. It used to be my mom's but she gave it to me. I t was my first scent love when I was a toddler. It still has some in it.

Wearing Parfum Sacre today.

Guerlain's Shalimar EdC.

Soir: I hope that you feel better through the day.

I am wearing Havana Vanille.

Scent Two: Laurel by Monocle x Comme des Garcons



petruccijc - love the picture in your SOTD post. (giggle)

Feeling under the weather, as are some of you poor dears, so I have to be careful about a scent today so that I won't invite upon myself a nasty headache. Thinking that another day in Replique is a safe choice. Take care, all.

(Asha -- I voted for Jicky.)

I'm wearing Tom Ford's Arabian Wood. I have to say that it reminds me of Halston Z-14 quite a bit. A nice, 80s retro fougere/chypre, but what's actually Arabian about it?

Hi all,

I´m spending the day in the lovely Une Fleur de Cassie (FM).


Hugs and good thoughts to everyone of you.

By pure chance, YSATIS, from a mini I forgot I had.

Vol de Nuit vintage parfum.

I noticed I'm more attracted to citrussy fragrances, particularly of the orange variety

Happily enjoying the orangey, thin and light l'Artisan Mandarine Tout Simplement!

Hello dear BNers...last night, I arrived home to find my package from Neiman's had safely arrived. It included the three (!) fragrance samples in their GWP - which I tried on different parts of me - Balenciaga Paris (subtle skin scent - pretty - will retest), an Atelier (forget which one, but it had lots of orange, in a nice way! might be a good one in summer - will retest), and Van Cleef & Arpels (Oriens). Fruity floral with patchouli in the base - the descriptions sounds nice enough on the various websites, but it is absolutely wretched on me. I took a shower and doused myself with Boucheron for bedtime...

Today is shaping up to be one of those annoying days, unfortunately...place Raindrop on "low" and simmer for 8 hours. LOL

Lucky for me, I am wearing one of my favorites

SOTD: Chanel No. 19 (parfum)

Have a great day, dear friends...

Lovely day to all - I am wearing one of my favorites of last year, Back to Black. Kind of a tobacco-cousin to Antaeusintheair today.

Yesterday afternoon after work I spritzed on some AL No23 and bedtime wore Paestum Rose.

Feeling better after 3 decent night's sleep in a row!

Calm healing thoughts to all who need them!

Thanks for the afternoon tea, Lessa. I'm only now donning fragrance — and it was quite a chore. Looked through all my bottles and decants and samples — yes all — nothing was appealing, but I needed fragrance. What finally spoke to me? Mitsouko.

Lovin’ that scootering mouse avatar musse has deployed.

Just back from the most relaxing short break in the Lake District, bliss. Took some samples with me and wore mostly Ume and Midnight Violet (trying to use this so very sparingly!). For coming home to the rain today I wore Coco Mademoiselle.

Mmm, I wish I could get Midnight Violet. Why didn't I buy it when it was available??????
Today I'm wearing Guerlain - Philtre d'Amour

Annick Goutal's Songes in the morning, and in the afternoon L'être aimee by Divine poured in a tissue paper and stucked to my nose to cover a horrid home scent poured by a coworker. It has saved my day (and my coleage's)

Wore Ivoire de Balmain.

Good health to everyone. Have a safe Thursday, all!

Today I'm wearing Serge Lutens' Fleurs de Citronnier. Haven't worn this in a while; it was buried so deep in my perfume drawer, I forgot about it.

Hello!

I am wearing First Love by Van Cleef & Arpels

Uomo? Moschino

I'm time travelling again. For me it's actually Firday morning .
Hi everyone !
Now I'm in Fracas - my old time fave - *love* Fracas.

Chanel Sycomore this morning, this afternoon, and this evening. (the cool cloudy weather makes this woody warm scent so comforting!)

Get well soon, Soir!!

I wore JM Vanille & Anise for a day in Manchester at the agency I am working for. Applied at 8.30am. home at 7pm, didn't sniff myself once in between! Shocking news...

I am in my new and resplendent green floral, Safari edp, for the evening. Quite a bright and zesty shock after the smooth seduction of Tabac Aurea and Habanita all day. It is quite reminiscent of No. 19 (as you all said it would be), but more voluptuous and less austere and actually reminds me a lot of Diva and Z-14 as far as chypres go. Fabulous!

Old Spice tonight, just because..

I swear I'm gonna buy a bottle of OS to wear to work, for that very same reason. (proving I was raised by men?)
