Good morning all and Good-bye 2011!

The initial idea was to spend my day in l'Heure Bleue, so I started in vintage EdP this morning, maybe PdT later and see the new year in (old) vintage Extrait... but I am not sure whether my mood strikes differently...

Anyway, maybe buzz through the year in retrospect in your head in a quiet moment, then kill those bottles of champagne and enjoy yourself and don't feel sorry for anything tomorrow!

Cheers to you all!

Good morning everyone and happy last day of 2011! Since I got the Christmas off I have to work, but go off 21.30 at least. Can't really celebrate too much since I'm having the first shift tomorrow. Well, my sister's got the same shifts, so we'll probably do something together after the lateshift.This last day of 2011 I'm wearing Mitsouko. Happy New year all! Hope you have fun!

Another year with basenoters is a good year indeed. Such a warm community of sweet folks, and you're smart and you're funny and you smell good too!
Closing out the year in one of it's surprise discoveries: Chanel no. 22
heading out early with hubby to catch an art exhibit in the city that I am longing to see before it closes for the year.

Hello all. Aromatics Elixir today, the new solid perfume version. Need to compare with the original at some point, but it seems altogether smoother, dare I say less caustic, than the original. The rose appears less strong but still unmistakeably AE. The solid is very cute too (but I draw the line at wearing the thing around my neck)!

Enjoy the last day of 2011, and all the best for 2012

- New York City is better for your thoughts, dear Roberto!

Seeing out the year on an ebullient, sparkling note with Hermes Eau des Merveilles.

Wish you all a very good last day of 2011.

Happy last day of 2011 and happy new year to all of you beautiful and fine-smelling people! I've only been a BNer for a little over a year and already I can't imagine how I ever enjoyed this hobby without this very special group. Blessings to you all!

Hermessence Paprika Brasil for now, no idea what I'll be wearing for the evening's festivities yet.

Sadly nothing yet as I have a filthy thumping headache which refuses to move despite fresh air, a bit of light exercise (housework) and codeine. Daren't try any of my samples in case I taint them with the headache connection. Still my team have trounced our local 'big team' rivals 4-1 and Mr Ali and I will be out for an Indian meal this evening with good friends. Long weekend off work too so a headache is of small consequence. SotE probably Eau de Soir assuming headache lifts.

A Happy and Prosperous 2012 to all my new friend on Basenotes xxx

Hello everyone, and Goodbye 2011!

I'm in the vibrant, hot pink roses of Lipstick Rose this morning. Y'all have a fantastic day!






Adding myself to this worldwide BN "Happy New Year" hug!

As the shadows sweep around the globe one more time,
I thank you, my favorite people, for what you bring to the party:
Thoughtfulness, smarts, humor and wisdom.



Best New Year Wishes!

Daughter and husband are off to the State Fair Park track for the Run into the New Year event. He'll come home with a bottle of champagne, she'll head off with her boyfriend's family, and then my Mr. and I will enjoy the solitude of a clean house. I'm in L'Heure Bleue at the moment.

Happy New Year's Eve to everybody!

I'm glad to see the end of 2011 and looking forward to 2012. Sending out much love to our Basenotes family. ♥

I’m joining Ineespenes in Mitsouko this morning. I used to find this unwearable, except for maybe one or two days out of the year, but something has changed and now I love it. She's a fickle thing.

Good morning, everyone! (((RHM and Dora)))

So hard to believe that another year has come and gone (almost). I want to wish all of you a year full of love, health and happiness!!!

SotD is Prada Candy, a gift from my son for Christmas! Includes notes of musk, benzoin and caramel.


post #18 of 43
Quarry, I hope your husband comes home with exactly this bottle of champagne
I was in L'Heure Bleue this afternoon and now could not resist to break my own self-declared tradition (to wear the vintage extrait at night) and just sprayed myself generously with En Avion. I realize the house is steaming through closed and windows and doors with En Avion's sillage. Well, what the heck... at least I smell good when 2012 arrives!
Thank you all for your company, wit and personal bits here ... to a great 2012!

Happy New Year greetings, dear perfume friends!

I'm wearing an Aftelier body oil: Pear, Fir and Coffee. LOVELY.

I'm in Coco Mademoiselle now, but tonight I'll be in Candy--unless I change my mind last minute.
post #21 of 43
Happy New Year, dear basenoters! I have learned so much from you this year, and it is a luxury to be able to discuss perfumes--creations of a huge industry, but also creations of art--with you in a rather pragmatic world.

I will be wearing By Kilian Rose Oud.

You'll be smelling amazingly, incredibly gorgeous, too! This is one of my contenders for this evening, as well.

Good afternoon everyone!

I'm in Jour de Fête today.

Good afternoon, last day of 2011. 2012 looks to be a year of big changes for me, hopefully for the better.

Smelling very fruity this morning in Mure Et Musc Extreme over Body Shop Mango lotion.

Good Evening,

Take care. Smell you all next year, folks !

Wow, a lot of Guerlain being worn today...you all smell fantastic. I'll save my L'Heure Bleue for tomorrow perhaps...


I was scent less all morning (a rare occurence for me normally) but this afternoon I'm having an early dinner (just Ray and I) in a new sample from Luckyscent (that Robin from Now Smell This voted #1 Niche Fragrance of 2011):

Azemour Les Orangers by Parfum d'Empire



It is really special. As she says, its an honest-to-goodness citrus chypre and just the fact that someone in this day and age is releasing a new fragrance that smells this retro and vintage from 1st sniff is something to celebrate. I can't wait to give this several more wearings.

Tonight, at a party when it turns 2012, I'll be wearing my 'signature' NYE scent:

Orris by Tauer



Happy 2012 to all of the wonderful guys and gals who I met this year and to those who I only know 'virtually' online here. What a fantastic year it was and I am sure next year will be even better ((bear hugs))
post #31 of 43
((Bear hugs)) right back at you Mike!

I'm trying Jovan Woman for the first time this afternoon. I'm quite enjoying it, but I'll wear something else later. I don't know what yet.
post #32 of 43
It's the last day of the year and I am fulfilling at least one of my promises to all of you, my wonderful fragrant friends: here's a kitty picture.



Happy 2012 to you all!
I am in a smidgen of Infini on one hand, Pandora on the other... haven't decided what's for the evening.

Sotd- a melange of scents from long overdue decanting. Tonight's scent is undecided.

Grace a Dieu it's the last day of the year...it's been a tough one with challenges and a few "narrow escapes".
The highlights definately revolved around this wonderful community of Basenoters....this is just a great place to come to learn and relax- AND I was lucky enough to meet some of you wonderful folks in person at the San Francisco and the NOLA meet-ups, which were FANTASTIC eperiences. Thanks again Rogalal and Quarry for all your organizing efforts.

Wishing Everyone a Healthy and Fulfilling 2012!

Going out New Year's Eve for the first time in decades, because there's a party worth going to: Peruvian dinner and salsa dancing at Thistledown racetrack's Silks club.

SotD = Carlos Santa for Women layered with a little vintage Nueva Maja, together making a flowery/gourmand Latin cocktail. I will dance all night!

My son is joining us, he will be wearing Monsieur Carven.

Happy New Year!!!

I can't wait to start 2012 and leave 2011 behind

Today I am trying London by Guerlain from a sample. Not my favorite Guerlain but not a scrubber either. I was going to wear something different tonight, but I have a feeling that London will not wear out, unless I take another shower. We'll see.

I am very thankfull to have spent another year with my Basenotes friends and look fowrad to a 2012 filled with exciting fragrances.
post #37 of 43
Warum, your kitty is adorable!

As I type this I am feeling thankful for all of you -- for your knowledge, your generosity, your kindness . . . I am so glad to be a tiny part of an amazing community and I hope 2012 is a wonderful year for all of us.

I'm going to a ravioli making party this year, same as last year, so I want to wear a scent that will cut through the cooking smells without becoming "overly" as Buffy and friends would say -- I'm thinking either Dioressence or 31 Rue Cambon.

Take care, and HNE all.
post #38 of 43
Happy 2012 everyone - hooray!!

We have a couple of snazzy parties to attend before the midnight bash in Jackson Square, so I'm in Cartier's So Pretty to help ensure I'm still fragrant by the time the fleur de lis drops ...even if I drop first, lol!


Whether you're looking forward to a fun & festive soirée, a comfy & cozy snuggle with a kitty and a book, or something in-between, y'all have a safe & happy New Year's Eve! Bonne année et bonne santé!
post #39 of 43
I'm wearing Ambre Sultan, my NYE scent for the last few years.

Happy New Years to all ... Have a fun, yet safe time!
post #40 of 43
I am wearing red, featuring red nails with some glitter deep inside the red and... Nahema !!(thanks to a very special BNer)!!

Happy 2012 to y'all!
I loved it so much, to spend a year with you. I am looking forward to another fragrant one.
