Thread: Your vintage SOTD |
Something a little fun for the opening of the vintage forum. No need to start a new one everyday, but a fun way to share.
Today I'm wearing Guerlain Heritage EDP from 1993, one year after release. While the latest versions of Heritage are still fantastic, the vintage is one of, if not the most, beautiful fragrances I have ever smelled.

Creed - Zeste Mandarine Pamplemousse for today. It's quite nice while it lasts, which isn't very long.
Yesterday was one of my all-time favorites: Jacques Bogart - Furyo
Started the day with Dior Homme (it's "vintage," but not really vintage), and ending with Maxim's Pour Homme.

Wearing vintage Or Black (Pascal Morabito). It smells very similar to...........the 2014 re-release! Gasp!![]()
Nice, very nice.
For me today on my day off the stand by, Paco PH from the early eighties. Received a couple glances at the store (not the good kind of glance) which made me smile.
Editing this so I don't repeat post,
what I like about Basenotes..... Versus things like Facebook groups is its not about the newest most expensive fragrances. Some of the best smells ever come from days past. I love all good smells but I definitely slant toward vintage with old ingredient styles versus what some call "modern" scents. When I hear that I cringe as it's usually said in a derogatory way, if they only knew you don't have to spend more to get more. You just have to read, search, amd smell.

Today I'm in Habit Rouge eau de cologne - a second-hand 30-ml bottle. It's nice. If I burn through this, I might check out a vintage edt next, while supplies last. I've seen a couple Basenoters praising the vintage edt version.
Love this thread! Am joining you all today (and house twins with Bavard!) in 1970's Shalimar parfum. You all smell fabulous!
