SOTD: Wednesday October 6, 2010

For the evening: Jubilation XXV

[ExtremeK]

It's supposed to reach 80 here today, so I am exercising my perogative to change my mind and save Fumerie Turque for a cooler day.

In light of yesterday's mini-leather kick, I'm wearing PdE's Cuir Ottoman, which, on the "lumberjack butch" scale (thanks to actiasluna for such a great turn of phrase -- which I am now shamelessly stealing, again ), is significantly less than Cuir Mauresque and much more leather-y than the elegant suede of Daim Blond. I'm loving it.

Have a very lovely birthday - Sophi's Little Girl !


Scent of the morning is Mitsouko extrait.

[Mr. G]

Guerlain's Tonka Impériale, "between gingerbread and chocolate," food-loving Sylvaine Delacourte puts it, as pleasing as Cologne du 68 but executed at a level of quality and restrain that brings forth sensory effects of exquisite Parisian leather goods and fine cigars. A pine note adds to the gingerbread aroma and its accompanying atmosphere of fireplaces and furred walks in snowy winter woods. Like the previous L'Art et la Matière fragrances, Tonka Impériale doesn't have much of a development once applied, although the opening bergamot-rosemary-almond-jasmine accord has its own brandied vibe, a soberer variant of Jean-Paul Guerlain's boozy Spiritueuse Double Vanille.

Beautiful day here! Going to go buy some new tires for my car in Chanel 19, but only because I don't have any Bulgari Black!

Just saw and "liked" a page on Facebook called "Favorite Smell Triggered Memories" Check it out if you're a Facebooker!

L'Ombre Dans L'Eau.

I've discovered that this is a wonderful scent for rainy days. Dark, brooding, absolutely wonderful!

[mikeperez23]

Eau Duelle by Diptyque (first time from a sample)



The similarities to Sublime Vanille by Creed (and for that matter Shalimar Eau Legere by Guerlain) are striking. Wonderful salty vanilla.

[Candy Perfume Boy]

Another day in the beautiful Une Rose Vermeille by Tauer.

[knit at nite]

CHERGUI for me....I'm freezin', need some of that deserty influence

[Lessa]

Rubj EDP this morning. Definitely not a light version of the extrait. Along with the fruity-floral of the passion fruit, a quite animalic note of cumin and musk coming through.

Bvlgari Black.

[Twolf]

E., great ad too! As a (former) linguist, I interpret Feel Kif as not only "Smell this scent", but also as "Feel the Same" (kif kif Fr. same). Thanks for having introduced it to me.

[Nuria G]

Hi, everyone,

Roberto, we share house today. I'm in Le Parfum de Thérèse.

[Lessa]

Another day in the beautiful Une Rose Vermeille by Tauer.

I'm testing this one this afternoon. I agree, very beautiful!

[Evangeline]

You're very welcome Twolf, but the pleasure is all mine! Since you've sampled almost everything under the sun, you must know that it's extremely gratifying for me to be able to introduce you to a fragrance that you actually like. I'm just thrilled, and enormously pleased with that ol' Kif for being on its best behaviour (and I thought it meant "pleasure" for some reason, but that could be a slangy marijuana connection, of course.)

Anyway, I'll be in Coco for the rest of the day. Y'all have a wonderful evening!

[Leesee]

Tried posting this am to no avail; aaah! I'm wearing vintage Dioressence and loving it so. Haaaappy Birthdaaaay to Sophi's little daughter.

[shadesofbleu]

I'm wearing L'Air du Desert Marocain today. Applied at 6:30 am and STILL going strong!

[Guest 3]

Prada L'Eau Ambrée this evening. I'm loving this lately. It's intimate and close to the skin.

[cello]

Joining the SL Chergui smelling folks this evening.

[Mimi Gardenia]

Amouage Ubar this evening .

[actiasluna]

I've been so very busy today that I beat the sunrise before work and came home after sunset. So for today, I wore heavy hitter combo Black Aoud with Bulgari Black, touched it up in the early afternoon on the drydown with Citizen Queen, and this evening I added a little Amazone to the mix. It helped energize me!

[Haunani]

Happy Birthday to Sophi's daughter and Kiliwia's hubby!

My SotD is Martine Micallef's Gaiac. It's a very fine sweet woody fragrance. Listed notes include bergamot, jasmine, cloves, gaiac, vetiver, vanilla. I love this on myself and I'd adore it on a man.

[Mimi Gardenia]

Added a spritz of Jubilation 25 to Ubar - very nice !
