SOTD Sunday 16 September 2012

[hellkelpie]

Ah, Sunday here we are. I unearthed a few samples from the disordered piles on my dressing table, so now I'm wearing a multitude of scents from forearms to knuckles:

Angel Sunessence
Fumerie Turque
Borneo 1834
Madini Ambergris Oil
Ambra Nera

and some byspray from filling a Travalo with my new Habit Rouge EDP.

Being an old Angel hand from way back, I'm considering the Sunessence for summer wear. It's not quite as sledgehammerish as original Angel, which I've pretty much given up wearing.

Today I'm wearing Frapin L'Humaniste.

Hi G.!

[devilcat]

Creed Aventus. Almost 1,000 posts devoted to batch numbers alone - had to try this!

Good Sunday all.

[Twolf]

Good morning, nice smelling folks!

While I completely and politely disagree with both hedonist and iodine -- not my thang is that too sweet lavender and spice -- I am somewhat rested after a short trip out of town and ready to face the music of another day. In Fragrance C from the Blind Sniff (Sturm und Drang).

Fico di Amalfi today Bright and cheerful as always.

Scent twins with Hedonist in Seville a l'Aube. ITA with you and Iodine - this is utterly gorgeous and has totally captivated my heart.

Notes include Luiseiri lavender, pink pepper, lemon tree leaves, orange blossom, jasmine, magnolia, beeswax, incense, benzoin Siam

Have a lovely Sunday, all!

The last bit from my MFK Amryis sample

[Evangeline]

Hello everyone!

I'm in LouLou this morning, 80s edp.

Jon - whatever did y'all do with all your blackberries? We have some now, too - I'm thinking of making a big ol' crusty cobbler.

lilybelle - I have lots to tell you about but I need to check a few things regarding Réveillon ...several restaurants offer special menus for it, but I'm not sure which will actually be open after Midnight Mass. I won't leave you hanging too long - I promise!

Feeling steel-sharp in Acier Aluminium this morning

[ladymurasaki]

Good afternoon.

Revisiting Gardenia Petale today. Seemed appropriate for this gloriously sunny afternoon.

[Foustie]

Wow! Do report back! G, you smell so good I want to throw myself at your feet. I can just picture it. You saying, "Oh for goodnes sake, get up!!" Ha Ha.

With hellkelpie in Habit Rouge, except I'm drenched in it. Reading the papers, eating chocs, seeing you guys. Cooking later. Happy Days!!

Evangeline, please take your time! It is still months away. About Christmas Eve, I didn't even hope that any restaurant offering a Réveillon menu would be open so late. I was just hoping something would be open for a drink and a bite. Thank you so much again! It is very good of you to go to the trouble and I am grateful.

I'm wearing Eau Arpege. I love the bottle, a rectangle with the square cap like in Jujy's avatar. There are no sharp corners, they are actually octagons. Its simplicity and elegance of classic proportion, the intaglio logo in the screw-on cap, the amber color of the juice (old), all are delightful. Sometimes I need visual beauty that is spare and serene. And the scent is a reminiscence of days long gone...I love the creamy sandalwood especially.

[anomie et ivoire]

Hooray for Evangeline, representing Loulou! You know, I tried it again the other day after seeing your comments on the Loulou thread, and I think you're right: the old formula is not really brash. More sultry in an introverted way. Interesting how adjectives that get repeated about a fragrance seem to stick, even when they don't totally fit.

I'm in a combination of old formula Jovan Musk oil on the pulse points, Reminiscence Patchouli spray+walkthrough, and Caron Pour Un Homme liberally applied to the arms. The combination isn't so heady as it might sound, really very softly herbal. I cannot stop wearing Pour Un Homme; I've sneaked it four or five times this week, sleeping in it three more times! A first serious and unexpected specific scent addiction.

Hope you all enjoy the remaining weekend! I'm off to sing A Sunday Kind of Love.

Jon - whatever did y'all do with all your blackberries? We have some now, too - I'm thinking of making a big ol' crusty cobbler.

Sounds like a great idea !. We made apple and blackberry crumble, miniature pies, pancakes, and took on board your suggestion, concocting a vodka based liqueur. Will be looking forward to sampling it over the festive season . We've still got plenty left so have frozen the rest.
