Guerlain's Vol de Nuit old Parfum, spicy-resinous-earthy and darkly aromatic like the inside of an old mahogany closet. It's powdery to a near-carnal degree, and very tenacious.

Many happy returns to Riannon!

I was planning to wear Coromandel again today, as yesterday, but then considered a different Chanel to stay with the house but ring a change. I couldn't make up my mind, and eventually decided I wasn't in the mood to tolerate the topnotes of the Chanels in my wardrobe.

So here I am in TEA FOR TWO , by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti for l'Artisan.

Notes include smoky tea, woods, spices, ginger and honey, cinnamon, green anise.

Now this has topnotes I could live with all day. Fortunately it gets even better, so I'm in for a treat as the day goes on. Why don't I wear this more often? A BNer whose name escapes me used to have a signature which read 'So many perfumes, so little skin.'

And why do I always think TforT is by Patricia de Nicholai? The best time I've had on Basenotes was when we did the month of women perfumers a couple of years ago. I managed to wear a different woman perfumer every day for a month, and sometimes more than one, and it was a blast. I have a spreadsheet to remind what I wore and by whom it was created, which is just as well.

Have a good Wednesday everyone.

I'm wearing Fracas today.

I'm so happy to be back in one of my favourites! The weather has cooled, the light has changed, the leaves are beginning to turn. I'm in 24, Faubourg and it's glorious. Orange blossom and honey and jasmine and amber and all good things.

Have a good one, all!

Happy Birthday to RIANNON



Yesterday it was a surprised day for me!!I received a package ,out of the blue ,containing many decants and samples!
It came from Atlanta GA,and includes many samples of Insence series mostly I am not aware of the sender...but he/she make me so happy
Today i wear Comme des Garcons Insence Zagorsk:This is an oriental woody one
Zagorsk is light, a bit melancholic fragrance, the smell of Russian monasteries placed in endless snowy Russian planes, the odor of light birch and dark pine tree woods, and northern red forest fruits. The main notes of this composition are white frankincense, pine tree, red hot chilly pepper, violet, cedar, iris, Hinoki cypress and birch.

Happy Birthday Riannon!

Sestra, I think that quote is in VM_I_hate_civet's sig.

My sample trawl continues with Bigarade Concentree. I still prefer the shorter-lived Cologne Bigarade, but it's nice to get a blast of orange through my cold.

Happiest of birthdays to our Dutch Dragonlady! Big kisses and stroopwafels to you!

I am in the glorious skankorama that is Miller Harris L'Air de Rien today. No school, so no embarrassing moments when picking up Small and wafting around the aroma equivalent of 'the walk of shame'. This is a 'take me now!' fragrance if ever I smelled one. Hoorah! And it's a sunny day.

So I'm off to do the laundry while smelling like I'd rather be off in a haystack with Johnny Depp. (Well, yeah! I can dream.)

Oh by the way, yesterday I sampled Belle d'Opium and almost cried. How can they even hint that this very average thing is related to the great and glorious O?

Trollop alert!

I must find my sample of L'Air de Rien

Hello everyone, and Happy Birthday to Riannon - wishing you all the best the world has to offer!

I'm in my favorite Gucci this morning, the original Gucci No.1, vintage parfum and edt.





Y'all have a fantastic day!

For my favorite Dragon Day of the year -- Lalique Le Parfum, she knows why. Neither Jicky, nor Hadrien Noir is currently present among my decants.

Would your Dragon Highness show up more often on the boards, or you need a special invitation engraved in gold and beads? Consider it done! And I pray thee: say to me not nay.

You smell gorgeous, Wolfie!

I'm off to the eye doctor this morning wearing Dior Addict. I've put off getting glasses for so long

Sending happy birthday wishes to Riannon

Petra, plum jam? YUM!

Azzaro Elixir by Azzaro (first time from a decant - thanks J!)



Well, the natural scent comparison my nose is making is London for Men by Burberry, but it has a strong ambery base that keeps giving me whiffs similar to Costume National Pour Homme and/or Fahrenheit Absolute minus the oud.

This, I'm thinking, might smell better on me in the Fall.

Just a spritz of Dolce Vita as I have 2 meetings today.

Thank you all for your birthday wishes and really beautiful dragon cakes and pictures. It feels like old times again

Ah, Twolfie my dear, I have been on Facebook for months now but I promise I will show up more often here. Really!
This dragon does not need special invitations, just kindness and friendship

The day started with Ungaro II,
birthday gift from a very special friend but for the evening it will be Jicky

Have a wonderful day all and please, have some cake!

I'm scent twins with mel_lou today in Hermes 24, Faubourg. Love this one! Plus I'm wearing a dress I haven't fit into in years!

If by Apothia.

I had to see what all the hoop-la was about.

I am not fond of it at first spray but the dry down is very nice. Has a very clean smell and great sillage.

It's going to be 106 degrees F here today, so I'm in the ultra-refreshing Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermes.

Happy Birthday, Riannon!! I hope you're having a splendid one.

Guerlain Sous le Vent. I applied it quite lavishly today and I must say, I smell wonderful!

A very Happy Birthday to you, dear Riannon!
I hope you are having a truly beautiful day!

I´m wearing Jicky too, to celebrate your special day.

Finally decided on my SotD. Very hot here, but I'm wearing Shaal Nur anyway. :-)
post #46 of 62
Happy Birthday, Riannon!

So... I started out today (root canal day, oh joy) in a little spritz of Bulgari Black... and for "comfort" this afternoon, I'm in Aramis 900. Nice blast of rosewood in the top, and a bit of a floriental to the heart.) What a nice scent for an unintended day off, lazing about on the back patio (in the cool breeze break from temps in the 100s) with a sore jaw and under the influence of pain meds!

Happiest of birthdays Riannon!



I am smelling great today in Aedes de Venustas!

Happy today and many days hereafter, dear, sweet Riannon

This is where you spray scent on a dragon.

Trying to be calm in Cadjmere 18, but people are driving me nuts, and there aren't enough hours in a day. If I don't post for a few days, that's just me dealing with demands. Argh.

Good Evening

My trip to incense world continues:
Tonight ,i am testing Incense Series by Comme des Garcons:Quarazate:
This is an unisex oriental woody but it includes sweet berries and jasmine along with spices and anise!I think,i enjoy this one most of these series

Ouarzazate (to be pronounced as 'war-za-zat') meaning 'the Desert Fire', is devoted to Islam and named after a small historical town of Ouarzazate in Morroco. Ouarzazate brings the smell of precious sweet and intensive Arabian spices and aromatic desert plants. The fragrance becomes milder on skin. The grassy note of sage, a herb that Morroco is known for, wriggles through the spaces, calming pepper and nutmeg, and opening the space for mysterious frankincense.

SOTD: Chanel Allure EDP
post #54 of 62
Still working my way through some birthday samples - this evening a third wearing of Chanel's Bois des Iles. I am on to something here, after a year of intense trials and many, many errors, I am finally honing into what works for me. This one is special, and a full bottle will be mine shortly. I'm not one for searching for vintage anything, but I could very well do some searching for all concentrations and incarnations of this one scent. This one makes me rethink everything.

Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere.

I have several meetings today on my new job, so this lovely stuff will not offend those who don't know me.

(My apologies for the many edits. For some reason, I am totally unable to post pics, despite Sophi's best efforts)
