I will be wearing Escapades/Lily-Oh! Violette et le Gantier today, a lovely interpretation of the smoothest leather backed up by non-candied violets. I think I've got to get me a full bottle very soon.

I'll stop wearing black when they make something darker
Goodmorning. It's cold and dark overhere, and I'm wearing Eau de Camille. Have a nice day!
I've seen you writing about Escapades last week, and I can't find information about it. It looks so good, could you please explain where I can find these fragrances and read about it?![]()

Tabac Blond. I wasn't sure what to choose today, but one of my colleagues likes this one so why not.
Good morning![]()

Wishlist is pointless.
Good morning all - still dark here - package of 8 SL decants in front of me that arrived yesterday - as yet unsniffed. Deciding which to try first is hard. But since I asked about datura scents previously - I think I will start off my testing with Datura Noir.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.

Totally ridiculous, perhaps-
But I've been hankering for Orchidee Blanche-
Creamy as it is.
So, there it is !
Have a great day, all...

"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

It’s thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. They’re confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, “Something is just around the corner,” what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers “Something is just around the corner,” something always is. -- Charlie Elberson

Medjool? Tamarind Tree Leaves? Indian Ajowan? Auramber? Eaglewood?
What strange notes. How do they smell to you?
Ajowan seeds are little black things that smell pungent, and are used in cooking.
Tamarind fruit I am familiar with, but not the leaves.
Medjool, aruamber, and eaglewood have me stumped.
I have applied Diorella!
How lovely! First time user, here.
Thanks Quarry.
I smell a similarity to Parfum de Therese and Cristalle here, due to the peach and vetiver.
But I think the emphasis on the honeysuckle makes it unique.
I applied some to my dear mother's wrist, and she was instantly pleased. She has been expressing her disappointment in the new perfumes, saying they all smell like "earth" and "celery" lately, asking where all the florals have gone.

Scent clone of Coconut: Black Orchid dupe from The Fragrance Shop--I think it's better than the original.
Medjool = Dates, and the most buttery of dates. Drooling. But I found Varvatos too much, too strong, too masculine. Still, those dates!

Strong scent (like the others I've tried in this line). Thank goodness for small sample bottles with dabbers.

Chinatown again.....I am having a serious craving for it, must be the change in the weather![]()
Courreges Empreinte today. Chypres are my favorite category in autumn. Can't believe the weather is still so hot.
Fancy names for the notes? We got them!Will they make me want to add on about 10 years in order to totally comply? Don't think so! Will they also make the fragrance deep, rich and intoxicating? Depends on their balance.
