Happy Friday to you all!
Feminite Du Bois on this cool, wet day.
I just love the feel of that little purple bottle -
so smooth and perfectly formed.

Good morning!

I tried to find out what we had to wear for synchronised Friday last night, but Basenotes was down...

So I am wearing Kenzo Amour, it is very nice this cool autumn morning.

THIERRY"S MUGLER HOUSE FOR SYNCHRONIZED FRIDAY



Wearing :ALIEN !!!!!!
post #7 of 78
Good morning and TGIF! My SOTD is Angel Liqueur de Parfum - for Synchronized Friday (House of Thierry Mugler).

post #8 of 78
Hi all! I couldn't get to Basenotes yesterday, very sad because I was testing Tauer's Une Rose Vermeille. It's very, very fruity, but it isn't sweet; it's a green raspberry note. The rose didn't come through very strongly on me, unfortunately, so I didn't adore it. The base is gorgeous, though; vanilla, sandalwood, tonka bean, with the raspberry overlaying it. I'd cautiously rate it at 3.5 stars, but will need another test to be sure.

As there's no way I'll ever be caught in a Mugler (I'm sorry, they just don't work for me!), today I'm testing Tauer's other newbie, Eau d'Epices. I'm disappointed, frankly. Of course, it's too soon in the day to be sure, but so far it's moderately warm and spicy and ... that's it. I think it might work in warmer autumn weather when the sun's shining, and I'm sure it will sing in the summer, but when it's 12 degrees outside? No and nope. I drove by the beach this morning and the North Sea was terrifically grey and violent and unsettled; I'm kind of wishing I'd worn Sel Marin instead of Eau d'Epices' spicy warmth. Just the wrong choice, I think.

Have a good day, everybody!

Thought I agree with mel_lou about being caught in a TM fragrance, until yesterday (same as an AT fragrance, regretfully).

TM A*Men again.

Have a nice day and a beautiful weekend.

Beauty by Calvin Klein today.

Thanks for the welcome Jon Rodgers. My husband and son are massive Leeds fans, although missing out on the game against Blades tomorrow, much to their disappointment!
post #12 of 78
Hello, everyone! So glad to be able to access the site again!

I was unwittingly in sync a day early as I just happened to wear Thierry Mugler Innocent yesterday. Continuing to be in sync today with B*Men.

Happy Friday, all!
post #13 of 78
I'm going to sync with the best of you today & wear Muglers Angel Sunessence!

Ducky, that's a copied pic of someone else's rare amphora....I can't afford $500 for one of those :P

Mine is a little too vintage...a very strong green note. But not unpleasant.

I mised Basenotes! Glad it's back.

Yesterday's scent was Highland Lilac of Rochester and today's will be more of the same note: Mary Chess White Lilac.

Mom only managed to have broth yesterday; I hope today she'll be able to take a bit more food. It's just a stomach virus but these things are hard on the elderly.

There's a phrase 'To die for', but I'm not ready to die for Dior....not yet.

But yes, I'm OK dying for Guerlain...haha

Hahah...Who asked eBay to give such scant offerings from your pet fashion house? :P

Even when there's something worthwhile buying, it's so overpriced & the competition is so intense I give up eventually.


Either that, or it's affordable modern reformulated drivel.


That day, I sniffed Miss Dior Cherie & almost died from nausea! The artificial sweetness was overpowering...

But Guerlain....ahhh...everything I smell from Guerlain so far is bewitching and mysterious....

Except perhaps Vol de Nuit, which resembles petrol too closely for my liking.

Betrayal is only a matter of time, dear lol
post #23 of 78
I'm wearing Etro Messe de Minuit today, if I feel up to it I will wear the tiniest dab of Angel tonight. They layer quite well, by the way, if you can apply Angel carefully enough not to completely wipe out MdM - it's one hell of a morbid, scary combination, but I like it.
post #24 of 78
sophi, you have the nicest photos! Hope you don't mind but I snitched it for my computer wallpaper.

It's clearly not your day!

Good morning everyone Still no internet access from my new place,but hopefully on monday. since I haven't been on the internet for a while I failed to notice it's Thierry Mugler day today...Instead I'm in Chergui. Yesterday was a Dzing! day.

Promesse de l'Aube on this ugly, windy, rainy morning
post #28 of 78
I know today is Mugler day for Synchronized Friday. I have nothing by him, but will be at the mall today. Not an Angel fan. What should I try?

Have a great Friday, All!
post #29 of 78
Mugler Cologne is really nice! Crisp, clean musk, but still interesting and rather unique. If you like heady florientals, Alien is worth a shot, and the new one, Womanity, has been fairly well received, from what I've seen - I haven't smelled it yet.
post #30 of 78
Guerlain Terra Cotta Voile d'Ete

Thanks for the hugs.

A great weekend to everyone.
post #31 of 78
Hello everyone!

I'm back in warm clouds of honey, amber and magnolia this morning - L'Instant de Guerlain, edp for the cool weather.




So sorry Duc - BN wouldn't let me in last night so I didn't know it was Mugler day. I'll be sure to play along next week!

(((pomander))) - thinking of you. You and your mom, too (((30 Roses))).


Y'all have a great day!

Creed Original Vetiver this morning
post #33 of 78
Goodness, I missed you all yesterday!

I'm out of synch this morning, wearing this stunning Emeraude vintage pdt, which I've fallen madly in love with. But the day is young, I may get in synch yet! TGIF!
post #34 of 78
Well! Eau D'Epices turned powdery like Vetiver Dance, without the vetiver and so considerably less interesting. So it's been washed off and replaced with Parfums DelRae Coup de Foudre. If you've ever walked in a rose garden, you know this smell. Stunning!

Hard to say then. Mugler is all about sweet and heavy scents!
You might fancy Eau de Star, or Womanity, yes, try that one!
post #36 of 78
I will not be wearing Thierry Mugler today. Angel was so bad that I haven't been able to bring myself to try anything else. Sorry!

I wore Shalimar yesterday. Today I'll be wearing Possets Perfume's Sunshine in a Bottle - California.

Mah wah hah hah hah !
My darling Ducky
knows me well ! *LOL* Well, but I'm not enraged - each to their own . I * adore* Vol de Nuit

30 Roses- thinking of you . PM'd !

I am so glad to see all of you- it was a looong time for Basenotes to be down though I did managed to log in yesterday morning for a few minutes before it went up s**t creek .

This morning it's Amouage Ubar. I do think if you love Shalimar but want something drier- Ubar would do nicely.

Due to the site being mostly down I didn't know about the Mugler theme today. (I don't own anything Mugler anyway, so what I am kvetching for?) In any case, today feels like a Barbara Bui day so I'm going with that. Take care, all!
post #42 of 78
Hello everyone, missed you yesterday! I don't have any Mugler scents, and actually threw away my Angel sample after 2 sprays. Yesterday was my favorite, Un Bois Vanille, and today, for this sunny day, Jo Malone Orange Blossom. My dad's in town visiting - hope you guys have a good weekend!

With all the love towards Angel today,
it's impossible for me not to choose it
as my SotE ... so, Angel it is!

I'm cross posting from Synchronized Fridays thread:

Don't pummel me, Duc, but the house of Mugler scares me. Angel made me run away! I stopped sampling from that house at that point. But such is my devotion to the Sync Fridays that today I have procured and will test wear Alien.


Edited to add: Duc, I'm sure that ON YOU Angel smells FAB!
post #49 of 78
No Mugler for me, I'm afraid. I'm down to a just bottle of lotion after my obsession with Angel in the 90's and it's just too strong for a trip to the Doc's! I did catch a whiff of it on someone in the supermarket though! I went with a little spritz of Guerlain Après L'ondée!

Nobody in Alien yet? Not even Divatologist or Sunnyfunny?

Just saw it: knit_at_nite will try some tonight!

Hey cool! I get to be scent twins with mel_lou today!

SOTD: DelRae's Coup de Foudre

I know that it's gotten mixed reviews, but I absolutely love this one!

I feel like I've missed a lot here (and I certainly missed visiting the SOTD thread yesterday)...pomander, I hope you are doing okay...30Roses, I hope your mom gets better quickly....and add my warm (and somewhat late!) welcome to the new BNers!
post #54 of 78
Yay, I'm synchronized. TM's Rose Angel for SotE.
post #55 of 78
Greetings all, I have missed you and hope all is well! I'm having a heck of a time getting onto BN in the last months, and even when I do, I often get booted before I can send messages. I read messages sometimes when I can, so I'm not totally gone

Today I'm wearing No.5 EP layered with No.5 parfum (new release). EP has really grown on me, and it gives the sultry parfum some levity for day-wearing.
post #56 of 78
I've got some Violet Angel left on my t-shirt from yesterday - does that count?
post #57 of 78
This a.m. it was a layering of:

Extract of Mysore Sandalwood by Crabtree & Evelyn + Santalum (brown juice formulation) by Profumum



The combination of these two benefits from the irresistible tonal contrasts of each fragrance. I will have to revisit this combination again in the future.

This afternoon it's:

Splash Forte by IUNX

post #60 of 78
Asha, there you are! I've been wondering about you lately... I've been having similar trouble loggin in and posting, too. Anyway, great to see you.

I didn't know it was Thierry Mugler day, but yesterday I sampled Womanity. I was pleasantly surprised.

Today I'm wearing Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere. Almost scent twins with Asha - the lucky lady has the parfum to layer.
