Since I'll be busy tomorrow (packing etc before returning to Finland) and already know what I'll be wearing, I'm posting the stats today.

June
15\tDzongkha
10\tCoeur dété
3\tSafran Troublant
2\tDZING !

I was smitten with my brand new Coeur d'été (which I had wanted for years!) and wore it through the Lilac Time, but Dzongkha, the scent that was my first choice for my stay in Edinburgh was still the winner.

2nd Quarter
32\tDzongkha
24\tSafran Troublant
19\tDZING!
14\tCoeur dété

1st Half
36\tDzongkha
24\tSafran Troublant
19\tDZING!
14\tCoeur dété
11\tVétiver Oriental
6\tBlack Cashmere, Encens et Lavande, Mitsouko

Not surprisingly, my "Edinburgh scents" are in the lead...

The next stats will undoubtedly be much more varied since I'll be back home with my wardrobe again!

Welcome home, Tigs!

For the month of June, I have had two scents repeated: Angel with 3 wearings and my new Bond Andy Warhol with 2 wearings.

I did some testing with full wearings this month. Worn for the first time was: Bond Little Italy, FM Dans Tes Bras, Guerlain Mon Precieux Nectar, and I Profumi di Firenze Plenilunio.

Thanks!

Can you guess which scent I have smelled on the locals most often?
Yes, Angel! The other one I have caught here as often was none other that good ole YSL Opium. Both smelled great!

But the most alluring scent I caught here remains a mystery. I was at Waitrose and suddenly smelled something amazing: woody, slightly spicy, possibly incensy, VERY elegant. I followed the trail and found a man in his late (?) fifties, wearing a grey suit. He smelled so good I just had to keep following him at a safe distance and when he went to the checkout, I took my place behind him in the queue and kept taking discreet sniffs. If I ever smell that fragrance again, I will recognize it and then I will also hopefully find out what it is.

Oh, how could you not have inquired of him what it was?

I'm too shy. Plus he was flirting with the checkout girl!

I hope your trip home went well, Tigs! It's hard to believe that we're at the year's halfway mark!

My stats:

JUNE (two or more wearings)
2x Byredo Seven Veils
1x Lots of other things!

SECOND QUARTER (three or more wearings):
5x Guerlain Vetiver Pour Elle
4x Hermes Vanille Galante
4x Malie Organics Koke'e
3x Hermes Eau des Merveilles
3x Neela Vermeire Bombay Bling

FIRST HALF (four or more wearings):
8x Guerlain Vetiver Pour Elle
6x Byredo Seven Veils
5x Hermes Vanille Galante
4x Balmain Jolie Madame
4x Malie Organics Koke'e
4x Neela Vermeire Bombay Bling
4x Neela Vermeire Mohur

This exercise is always interesting. It looks like I have some new top picks that are here to stay (the Byredo, the Neelas, and the Malie), along with some enduring favorites (VG, VPE, and JM).

Yes indeed, I smell fabulous!

Oh yes, it did. I can't believe it, either. It's incredible how time flies.
