Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Sophi - happy birthday to your little girl!
Roberto, you smell so divine (as does everyone, as usual) that I'm glad I picked a fragrance with your name in it for today!
Roberto Cavalli Oro
top notes: magnolia, coriander, iris, pepper, apple, bergamot
middle notes: apricot, patchouli, cinnamon, freesia, cedar
base notes: sandalwood, amber, musk, vanilla, gaiac wood
Take care, everyone!

Wow. Evening has fallen already.
My SoTE:
Today, orange and neroli beckon strongly!
Last night I was testing something not mentioned often on the boards -- from very lovely Ms.E -- Tonino Lamborghini Kif. Apart from the fact that it has been long discontinued, virtually unknown for my regular Directories and, consequently, impossible to find for a decent price -- it is great! A nice oriental with chypresque tendencies ending with dry sandalwood, lively patchouli and delicios sweet amber. Not for the timid of heart. (In a Blind Sniff I would have probably said Parfumerie Generale, and the second thought was about similarities with Bois des Iles and then Ambre Sultan, how about that?). As translated from Arabic, the name means "haschisch" or "marijuana", and the fragrance is addictive. It is no brainer what my SotD is going to be today and many more days. Thank you, E.!

Good Morning Everyone!

Hello all. Wearing a sample of Nuit de Cellophane and have to say not feeling the love.

My sample finishing mission continues. I want to clear some things out and stop hoarding, not just fragrances. This morning I'm wearing Montale's Vanille Absolu. I've been in the mood for vanilla & spices. This one smells like praline with a slug of booze.
Happy Bithday to Sophi's baby girl!
Happy Birthday to Mr. Kiliwia!![]()
Wow Wolfie - great review! I'm so glad you like this lush but very obscure perfume! (Btw, my brother bought this for me when he was 16 and into fast cars, and I was 14 and into perfume. I still have that red leather-bound flacon, plus an enormous refillable canister that I just hope I never need to refill!) Actually, I feel a bit of serendipity going on, for it's highly unusual for me to check in sans fragrance, but I did this morning and I decided to be scent-twins with you today, just because I can! So I'm also in the very addictive Kif by Lamborghini -perfect for this clear, crisp morning.
Y'all have a fantastic day!
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
Dia--from a sample. And it's a sun shiny beautiful day in Jersey. Dia and sunshine go well together!!
Quorum this morning. Low humidity, mild temps. Ahhh....
