I would imagine that those who love Le Mâle by Jean Paul Gaultier(LM) might love the combination of worlds here in Armani Code Ultimate (ACU). I find it strange as I have not yet learned to love...
this is easily the worst amouage i've tried & i've tried most. a cloying clove cluster that really sends a feeling of nausea through the system. i persevered through the interminable dyrdown (it...
I went shopping for a new perfume in March and had difficulty finding something new to try at Sephora. The scents at the store become blended after smelling a few samples. I decided to buy...
Purchased this in the duty free on the way back to Doha. I picked Forever And Ever Dior because the description contained base notes that I normally like. This is a clean scented-floral that is...
A smooth, lightly-spiced vanilla. Unlike many vanilla-dominant scents it isn't heavy, cloying, nor too sweet for non-teenagers. I don't know where the name 'Santal' comes from, I can't detect any....
I love me some skanky perfume! This thread has had me laughing out loud several times.
I'll contribute my skankiest best in TDC's original RosePoivree...the civet "monster". I love it!
Oh, I forgot about Rose Poivree! I love that one and still have a little in my travel-sized bottle. Maybe tomorrow... thanks for the reminder, RHM!
Having done my part this morning to skank up my little corner of Wisconsin, I'm now in the soft and sweet, warm and woody Secret Obsession by Calvin Klein. Enjoy your evening, everyone!
Bal A Versailles scared me with a skank at first, but now it dried down to something very sweet, deep, and comforting! It embraces and envelops without even a thought of dirtiness. I am happy that the skankfest made me rediscover this fragrance!
Hello everyone! Had to wear a quiet fragrance this morning and afternoon for doctor appointments, I chose Vanisia by Creed. Now that I'm home I'll get out my Jicky sample to wear tonight.
111 samples? Wow, 30 Roses that's amazing! I felt lucky yesterday getting 8 at Macy's. You'll have to tell us your secret, how to get them to be more generous with samples.
Hmm. I meant to put on MKK but think (as I have an unlabeled decant that looks like one I made) I'm in Fumerie Turque this afternoon. (heh.) It's pretty, odd, musky-spicy, and leathery and smoky, but I understand why I traded it off for Montale Black Aoud.
I printed out my original post for the Malle sample group and told the manager about how I'd like to set up a sampling group for Penhaligon's, told her how it works and that we would give credit to the Yale Center for British Art gift shop. She was very supportive of the idea.
The point is, they are not samples for me. They won't end up on eBay. They are for BNers to try and pass along.
I think if we approach other companies with this sort of request-- Creed, Bond No. 9, Diptyque etc-- they may also be supportive and generous. We should try!
30 Roses... I agree! We Basenoters, as perfumista/perfumistos, should try to test as many different scents that are currently out there as possible! (I know that my samples are growing at a slightly scary rate, and it would make sense to share the samples I have if something does <or doesn't > "resonate" with me.)
My SOTD was SJP Twilight a musky jasmine with a touch of cedar(hey I had to go shopping and to work & break down 75 boxes I didn't want silliage from the back room to the front door.)
SOTE hmm? either Diva -cumin,or Jicky or Shalimar-civet(boy I hopethis doesn't threaten my tomcat Zorro. If it does I will be doing a LOT of laundry &/or couch scrubbing tomorrow!)
I was at my mom's house today. I almost wore her vintage Femme, but I just could not do it. It is my mom's. That is the perfume my dad gave her when they started dating, and she has worn it ever since. Last Christmas I found a vintage parfum for her.
Funny, I have no problem wearing my dad's fragrances.
Today I wore Cabochard. Is that skanky enough? I just find it deliciously green and oakmossy.
