Thread: Most worn in January |
Since I'll wear L'Heure Bleue tomorrow, too, my first stats for 2008 are ready:
6 Antihéros
4 Jasmin et Cigarette, L’Heure Bleue
3 Charogne, Dzongkha, N’Aimez Que Moi
2 Champaca, Eau Impériale, Folavril, Poivre Piquant, Rossy de Palma, Safran Troublant, Sécrétions Magnifiques, Vierges et Toreros, Vraie Blonde
January started and ended with Guerlain scents: Eau Impériale and L'Heure Bleue.
Some L'Artisans were also on the menu. But the main event of the month was ordering Etat Libre d'Orange sample pack. Antihéros became an instant workhorse lavender, Jasmin et Cigarette and Charogne were another favourites.
What do your stats look like?

I've got to admit, I probably wore Burnt Amber more than anything else.
But I also wore many Madini's, and Ava-Luxes- particularly Ambra Tibet and Gardenia Musk.
Lots of Tabac Blond.
For day:
Vera Wang Princess
Eau d'Hadrien + Body Time Egyptian Musk oil
For evening I wore a variety of samples and fragrances in my collection.
Poivre 3
Love's True Bluish Light 2
Musc Ravageur 2
Memoirs of a Geisha 3
the rest is a variety.

I've only just started a database of what I wear every day. Even though I have hardly any perfumes, I like doing organised stuff like this!
Revlon Fire & Ice - 8
Miss Dior Cherie - 6
Guerlain Cherry Blossom Fruity/L de Lolita Lempicka - 3
Davidoff Echo Woman/Champs Elysees - 2
Pink Sugar/Midnight Fantasy - 1
5 days are unaccounted for, as I hadn't started recording what I wore each day yet. I can bet those days were PROBABLY spent in Fire & Ice, and maybe a couple in Echo Woman. I'm looking forward to recording next month!
Those are adorable dogs, Tavorna!
I, too, have only a partial month. Since I'm still a beginner, and I like to know how a fragrance will evolve on the skin, many of these days were testing days. (heck, most of my wardrobe is sampler vials.) Also, I know I didn't document every day.
Looks like Eau de Cartier wins!
January:
x3 - Eau de Cartier
x2 - No. 19, Stella (I know I've worn this more), Mitsouko EDT, Burberry Classic
x1 - L de Lolita Lempicka, Prada, Bvlgari pour Femme
I will just say; January seemed to be my month to honour Guerlain.
Quand on boit l'eau, il faut penser à sa source
Worn 39 different types of scents in Jan 2008, and here is the break down:
Cuir Améthyste x 3
Floret x 3
Teint de Neige x 3
Hypnotic Poison x 2
Musc Ravageur
Rasa x 2
Sequoia 2
Soir de Lune x 2
The rest are single application, and I realised that I fell in love with Teint de Neige…
My top scents for January were...
Cote Bastide Orange Blossom
L'Occitane Almond Milk scented body cream
Epicea...I like to smell like pine trees in this cold and gloomy month.
Not quite over yet- will probably need to add one or two more of something for the 31st, but for now here is the list:
8- Coco
6- Etro Gomma
3- Lolita Lempicka, Encens et Lavande, Norma Kamali Lavande
2- Montale Aoud Roses Petals, Trouble, Etro Sandalo, Norma Kamali Perfume, Norma Kamali Incense
1 off wearings: Asja, Rumba, Etro Patchouly, Winter Delice, Bandit, Fracas, Le Maroc pour elle, L’Air di Desert Marocain, Feminite du Bois, Agent Provocateur, Malmaison Carnation, Angel Innocent, Chanel No 22, Montale Intense Tiare, Jasmine Sambac Solid.
Tigs- your mention of Safran Troublant makes me once again realize I need to dig out my sample of it and try it again. Now that we can get a bottle by itself, I may have found my first L'Artisan that I really enjoy.
Scent is such a lovely, simple pleasure!
3x : Chanel Cuir de Russie, SL Cuir Mauresque, SL Fumerie Turque
2x : vintage Cabochard, Kolnisch Juchten, Nuit de Noël, En Avion, Jasmin et Cigarette
1x : Dzing!, Rose Poivrée, Tabac Blond, Habanita, Une Histoire, Bandit, MKK, Musc Ravageur, Rahat Loukoum, Cuir Ottoman, Ambre Sultan, Borneo 1834
Summary: the month belonged to Serge Lutens, but a lot of that was testing; the home fires are still burning bright for Caron and Chanel. Guerlain got the cold shoulder in January; thanks Brielle for keeping her company!![]()

I wore YSL's Kouros quite a bit, and also Clinique's Chemistry.
(The latter is undoubtedly one of the best "sleepers" out on the market today).
Peggy: "Right now, we have to get to the mental institution. Something terrible has happened."
Latrelle: "What?"
Peggy: "Brother Boy has tried to kill himself. He jumped out of his bedroom window."
Latrelle: "Isn't he only on the second floor?"
Peggy: "Yes, but he hit his head on a lawn gnome."
