Lazy perfumed day for me, another one from the summer in the city style.

Today I'm smelling with something new, I got a sample from a swap and I'm glad I did because I think I'm in love now. Gotta buy a bottle! Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile in EDP is what I'm talking about.

Something's wrong with my iris Danny? Or is it soo good that you're envious
Yes, I started testing them, how could I not! I'm waiting for samples or Interlude to arrive, I'm gonna review them on my blog and them Les Exlusifs will follow up but not one after another, there will be also few other between them

nothing wrong with 'your' iris (do you own the worldwide trademark rights to iris now, lol??)
just having a light fun poke at your 'obsession' with iris!! that's all...
btw, not envious at all, this is one note that leaves me cold, pardon the pun, it's the carrot smell/association
(seeing that iris is a cold note, sorry for explaining it, my bad.. )

oh, oh, forgot to add, there's only one iris that i like, pg cuir d'iris, but that's obviously because of the leather (and it's not a lot of iris in it actually), predictably..

and re. lady million, if you like it, that's all that matters, doesn't matter how mass market & high street it is!! my wife likes angel, flowerbomb and black orchid (amongst guerlinade and ormonde jayne woman and the like) , my first impulse is always to roll my eyes at angel and flowerbomb (the 'niche' snob in me) but i keep reminding myself, it's a matter of taste and if that's what she likes, so be it, who am i to judge??..

Renee, I am SUPER envious. "Vintage". Sigh. (No, really. No one deserves it more.)

Pour moi...the TOTALLY evocative Field Notes From Paris...a sample from the inimitable Ineke. (I just LUVLUVLUV this house.)

Of all the notes in this (to me) very Parisian frag the tobacco and orange flower (a top note) linger longest. Go explain.

Danny, no iris for you and MORE for lucasai and me!!!! Yum!
Chanel #5 Eau Premiere for today's workaday. My cold is better, but has set in my chest. It makes for such a lovely sounding cough But at least I feel OK. Thanks for all of your well wishes the other day.

Yatagan (Caron; new formulation).

Hey Roberto, I see your bottle has already been used quite a bit! Mine is still nearly full. I slightly regret that it is a very quiet scent on me (like Lui and Mazzolari, too).

my next purchase, before the end of july, hopefully. i wonder how it behaves in hot weather (not that we are having any).

- - - Updated - - -

OK, just came back from Fenwick, have Vol de Nuit edt on one wrist, Equipage on the back of the palm (left hand) and Encens Flamboyant on the other wrist and Royal Oud on the back of the palm (right hand). And the winner is: Equipage! For me, this is the most refined, distinguished, understated of the 4, a throwback to a bygone era and oh, the name is sooo right, so evocative, so fitting.
Encens Flamboyant - nice but nothing special and not too much incense so to speak (have tried it in cold weather, same effect), for an Annick Goutal fragrance is quite disappointing.
Royal Oud - there is no oud first of all, just smoke (Russian black tea anyone?)! I will stick with Tea for Two, thank you very much. It is still the one that I like the most from the house of Creed, and that says a lot about my opinion and views of the 'quality level' of their fragrances (WAY overpriced marketing gimmick), I'd rather get Body Shop's Amber Oud for £8.
Vol de Nuit - I know this one gets a lot of love around here but for me it is a floral shimmering powder, kind of like a very expensive white veil worn by an elegant, 60's -70's something Italian woman covering/masking her head and face, it reminds me a lot of the expensive 'fond de teint' powder that my mom used to use (you know the kind, black lacquered box), I don't want to use the expression 'old lady perfume' but that's definitely the image that I get, and I KNOW I'LL GET LYNCHED FOR SAYING THIS. Still, I think it would smell great on women (mature, this is not a 'young' perfume) and I think it's definitely one of those 'women only' perfumes but any man that can pull this one off is a god in my eyes (skin chemistry is essential I believe).

as I write this, I see Oswald Boateng passing by my window followed by Bill Nighy!!.. OB has his shop just around the corner and Bill Nighy has his office somewhere close, or so I've heard.

Happy 1000th post to Alityke!

Mid-week tedium has struck me. The usual tasks...grocery shopping, replacing mom's meds tray and restocking whatever she's low on, mailing a package for hubby. I need a pick-me-up.

*goes to perfumes*

Aahhh. Black Raspberry Vanilla, which I had not worn in a while.

This is one reason why I keep some fragrances that I don't wear often. For those times when I need to do something, anything, different.

I think I'll take my daughter out for Thai food for lunch. Gimme those Drunken Noodles!

Greetings from Florida, dear ones. I made it down in one piece, driving down I-95 like a migrating goose, straight shot, and few watering stops. Today it's pouring rain in Florida where I am, and it's actually a nice break from the intensity of the sun, which I'm not used to. I have limited access to internet so just a quickie to say hi and send my love.

Alityke, congratulations on 1,000 posts!

Danny, I love Equipage. I used to "borrow" my stepfather's from time to time.

I was in a quandary as to what fragrances to bring with me, as I'm going to be here a while, weeks at least. In the end, close to having to actually depart, I grabbed a few full bottles that wear well in heat and humidity, some vintage minis, and two zippered cosmetics bags (the kind you get as freebies with cosmetics purchases) that I crammed with decants and samples, most of those sent to me by Basenoters, the most generous and sweetest of people. This morning, I am sampling...for the first time ever...Tubereuse Criminelle by S. Lutens. Holy Smokes. This may be the Lutens for me. This locale, this scent...a match made in heaven.

Love to everybody. ♥

Lilybelle- hello sweetie and lots of love to you. I hope your Florida stay will be a good and peaceful one.

Alityke - congratulations on 1000 posts . I hope you got your parcel intact too . Thinking of you ! I smelt Lady Million on an unopened sample strip from a Sephora Magazine I saved when I was doing some tidying last night and it smells pretty delish .

Danny - a great day at Fenwicks with celeb spotting too.

This morning it's Peche Cardinale with some Coco M thrown in the mix .

Hello, everyone.

I don't feel fancy today, so pleasant and grapefruit-y Intuition it is. I am glad to see that I am not the only one with the Iris obsession, Lucasai . I didn't understand Iris Nobile, for me Iris - the colder, the sadder, the better.

Congratulations on a 1000th post Alityke!
post #39 of 63
Congratulations, Alityke! Very glad we've had the chance to get to know you. You're a fun BNer!

Lilybelle, enjoy your stay in Florida! I just love those tropical rains they get in the mornings there; one of my favorite parts of visiting that state.

Everyone smells really good today! I'm in Citrine by Olivier Durbano. Not the most interesting scent but it is a pretty, sparkly citrus. Citrine the gemstone happens to be my birthstone so I was hoping to be more impressed. Still a nice one, though.

Tao Lady- just sampled that again(Field Notes), I do like the sweet warmth to this scent. A little spice as well, and that tobacco lasts and lasts on me. I like the longevity of some of her perfumes. A couple just go on forever on me, which is nice, as it's so disappointing to find a love then it just disappears within an hour. I was going to save up for one from L'artisan, a real love but I just can't justify the price if it disappears so quickly on me. So, I am thinking of finally buying my first Ineke FB. Her perfumes are charming. The only one I don't seem to like much is Chemical Bonding, for well, the chemical orange cleanser smell it leaves on me.

Alityke-
I love Lady M. But I mentioned that before..so, are you saying I am not that much of a perfumista?. Just kidding. Enjoy that raspberry! I feel like that scent doesn't get enough love if you ask me. But I am biased I guess. Heck, I even like the bottle too, which also seemed to have not gotten the love sometimes. I love my mini, it's a cute gold nugget. I need a fb whenever I can get one!

Sotd: Last drops of my Feminite Du Bois sample.

Thank you you all for the congratulations

Sampling this evening. The last drop of Coromandel dislike the opening and find the dry own difficult. Shame I adore the heart. SL Sa Majeste la Rose which when I wore in the cool soured on my skin, even though it's a warmish evening, it has soured again. Will try once more in heat, if ever we get any. If it still doesn't suit it'll go on the Free to Good Home thread. Piguet Calypso smell just like my skin but deeper and suedier. Lastly my favourite Micallef Automne. This is lovely, warm, slightly sweet, carnation and a vanilla pod with a whiff of smoke.

Thank you all again

I'm wearing Mure et Musc today. After a long day yesterday, I got called back in to work for an emergency and didn't get home until after midnight. I was half asleep when I left this morning, and in a bit of a rush since I tried to squeeze a few more minutes of sleep after the alarm sounded. Mure et Musc is such an easy-going scent for days like this. I keep a small decant in my locker at work for days like this.

Hello again everyone -

We're leaving for Hong Kong pretty early tomorrow and I doubt I'll be around in the morning. I might get a chance to check in while we're away but in case I don't, y'all take good care, stay happy, healthy and fragrant, and I'll see you in a few weeks!

As for perfume, I'm in Mystère for the evening ...I still haven't decided which decants to take along, but there will be plenty of 'em!



Wow shades, that's some day you've had! I sure hope you get your much needed and well-deserved sleep tonight.

I missed that it was your birthday Gary - happy belated birthday wishes to you! I hope you had a very special day ...cheers!
