Thread Starter 
Tomorrow will be the last day of October but since I'm going to stick with today's scent, my stats are ready to roll.

5\tChêne, Encens et Lavande
4\tOpôné, Tea for Two
3\tHinoki\t
2\tAmbre Sultan, Coco, Fleurs dOranger, Fourreau Noir, Fumerie Turque, Narcisse Noir, Un Bois Sépia

Autumn often means lots of Lutens as you can see. I was also in the mood for orange blossom, spices and woods.

What did you wear this month?

No repeats in October for me.

I tested several new-to-me frags this month: Portrait of a Lady, Shalimar Parfum Initial, Creed Royal Water, Neil Morris October, AG Parfum Chéri, par Camille, Andy Tauer Zeta and Orange Star.

Hi Tigrushka! I only had two multiple wears in October (2x each):

1000 Flowers Reglisse Noire
i Profumi di Firenze Violetta di Bosco

Violets and licorice/anise/absinthe were themes for the month. I wore several fragrances featuring those notes.

Like you Tigrushka autumn means Lutens for me. But we had an Indian summer in London at the beginning of the month, so things like Eau de Campagne got a look-in. I had the most romantic month, partly due to the lover/dreamer role of Mariane I played in Moliere's L'Avare all month, partly due to an actual love affair, reflected by the piles and piles of roses I wore in October (at least 13 rose days). It's all ended in heartbreak however so I anticipate a dearth of roses for November

Poor lemontree, l'm so sorry for your heartbreak, sending hugs your way!

My most worn this month;

x 6 Jasmin Noir

x 5 Shalimar

x 4 1000 Kisses Deep, Allure & lmperial Opoponax

x 3 Samsara & Magie Noire

x 2 Virgin lsland Water, Gigi, Cinema, Armani Code, Tiptoeing Through Chambers of the Moon, Alien & Stella

x 1 Royal Egyptian Amber & Honeysuckle, lntense Tiare, Aloha Tiare, Bronze Goddess, Sweet Oriental Dream, Roma lmperiale, Organza, Brasil Dream, Vanille lnsensee, Cavalli Oro, Stoned, Anne Pliska, Ambre Narguile & Ghost.

Very little time for sampling this month, so only one new scent tried; L'Air du Desert Marocain.

A total of 29 scents worn, house of the month; Guerlain as usual.

October began with a wonderful few days of summer weather, hence the strange transition from scents like VIW to Magie Noire in the space of just 4 weeks!

Hoping to get around to more sampling in November, & looking forward to bringing out more of my heavier orientals for winter!
