I'm a huge fan of this line but By Night Black is probably the most disappointing delivery among their range. I'm used to either their thickness (Ambra Mediterranea, Versilia Platinum, Versilia...
I've tried this many times, I never understood why it stands out or sells so much. That bitter orange is repulsive and disgusting. This smells almost as bad as Guerlains Vetiver.
I don't like to factor in cost when reviewing a fragrance but for the ridiculously cheap price, this stuff is great! Smells similar to Armani Code but better. Might buy another bottle
TVlampboy declared Or des Indes as the elegant richer sister of Bal a Versailles,( but not the older) This is repeated by other enthusiasts on on other blogs. It is spot on. Bal is Zsa Zsa and Or...
I am having a lazy morning by the warm oven as I took the half day off, but I will have to attend a workshop in my area later. It saves me from commuting in and out of Vienna.
Eau de Fleurs de Cedrat for starters and possibly Jicky EdP for later.
Best to all
EDIT: I may feel more like Sous le Vent, right Wolfie?!
Hello everyone, SOTD is Mauboussin. Late-autumn splendor in a bottle.
Notes include plum, bergamot, mandarin, white peach, jasmine, ylang ylang, Turkish rose, amber, patchouli, sandalwood, benzoin, cedar, and vanilla
Oh my, I am definately the odd one out today amidst all this wonderful classicism and richness. For reasons unknown I took a notion for Molecule One yesterday, Iso e Super in a bottle. I had forgotten how much I like the floaty, ghostly, dry woody, Irisy character of this material. I really do enjoy it, so the same again for me today!
I started my morning with a much-needed hard run in LizSport, and now I'm all showered and refreshed and ready to get on with things in Vivre de Molyneux.
Morning everybody. Mike, sorry I missed your Bday yesterday, so a belated happy wish from me. Quarry! Oh my! Demeter's Dirt comes to mind, but you are right, not really much to match that mood!
Hello all Today the packing,organizing ( or an attempt of that at least :P) and cleaning continues. Sotd is Samsara. Just kind of as in that mood today. Happy belated b.day to Mike Hope the day was awsome!
(((inees))) I'm betting you'll feel better once you're out of that apartment for good. So I'm hoping the packing/cleaning/move go quickly for you. Hang in there.
Winter is really bringing out my sweet tooth cravings. Today is Mazzolari Lei, with notes of cocoa, labdanum, vanilla, patchouli, and woods. It's wearing like a cozy merino sweater, dusted with cocoa powder.
Anyway, SoTD Musc et Freesia by Coudray. It's comforting like a flannel shirt; pretty and feminine and a little bit "mumsy" (but not in a bad way). I've been wearing this for a few days now, actually.
Wolfie reminded me last week that I needed to revisit my sota, Jean-Marc Sinan's Sinan, a quintessential although largely unappreciated classic 80s chypre. I'm glad I did, too ...it is just so sophisticated and so chic ...and long-discontinued, of course.
Well, as usual, we've contributed some very fine smells to the atmosphere today!
Having sampled a load of Goutal over these last few days, I'm taking a break to wear my newest "baby", HdP Tubereuse 1: La Capricieuse. Can't get enough of this weird iris/tuberose suede. Good-night, everyone!
E., I will wear Sinan tomorrow, OK? So glad I have got me a FB when I had a chance. Somehow very tired again, all this running around in the wind. Only imagine how Q. is tired after managing a crew of construction workers with heavy machinery (almost wrote "artillery").
