Happy birthday, Badarun!

I'm synching with Avon Today, and will change into Sarah Jessica Parker's Twilight in the evening. :)

I believe Donna just wanted to say "No idea why this is not in the directory?" but probably was typing it in the phone and autocorrect or mistap messed it up. Happens to me, too.

Synching with Today by Avon. This lovely elegant floral is not exactly drugstore as you won't find it in one, but it's just as affordable and easy to get. :)

In the evening I will probably spray...

Inexpensive drugstore fragrances tomorrow!
I might wear Sarah Jessica Parker's Twilight or Avon's Today.
Oh, and also Aquolina's Pink Sugar! :D

First of all - thank you, Kotori, for the warm welcome!
Secondly, I'm afraid I won't be of much help to you as I cannot truly compare Meharees with Musc Ravageur and L. L was already discontinued...

Hello!
Lolita Lempicka Oh Ma Biche today.
I'll join teardrop in giving out hugs and healing thoughts to all who need them, too.

A little, not as much as I wanted though - my budget is not neverending and I'm also interested in newer fragrances, too, and I decided that some of my favourites will last me many years just as they...

Happy birthdays, Larimar, VintagePoison and Kalli! :birthdays:

Gucci Guilty Absolute pour femme, because today I'm working from office (lunchtime right now) and I was looking forward to wearing it out of home. There's something about it that makes me feel almost...

CuddleCat, I'm glad to read the Original Cuddle Cat endured the procedures well. Best luck for the kitty. Those lamp cones aren't fun.

Hugs and healing vibes to everyone in need of them.

I am...

Teardrop, have a nice week off and good luck on your studies! It's fun that you have a studying scent.

Kewart, good luck and have fun painting the door! What colour did you choose?

Sunnyfunny,...

I absolutely agree with everything that teardrop said!
I also agree with Bonnette's thoughts. I wouldn't call the interest in fragrances a 'hobby', it's more like an interest or a passion to me,...

Happy birthday CapriDog! :birthdays:

Congrats on vaccine, teardrop!

Been wearing L'heure bleue for the day and sprayed some Opium in the evening. Both are so gorgeous.

Welcome, Korka! I find Basenotes a very useful, informative and friendly place. I hope you'll find what you're seeking here!
Euphoria is a great fragrance.
If you liked pomegranate and slight...

But funny for those who read it! :D

I have two scented hand sanitizers - one is Verveine by L'Occitane (glorious! yet a bit on a pricy side for me) and another is by a local natural brand with...

CuddleCat, best luck to your oldest cat and hugs to you.

I'm enjoying the sandy warmth of Meharees by L'Erbolario today.
I see Serge Lutens is kind of popular today! Had I seen it before I might...

Two weeks is nothing.
My reviews are usually approved in a month. The longest I have waited for them to appear is 1,5 months, never longer. ~2 weeks is actually the fastest approval I have got so...

Zealot Crusader, I thoroughly enjoyed your review on Basenotes trends.
It got me thinking. Before reading this I was pretty sure I'm a bit of outlier here, but it seems like not so much so - as a...

Thank you!
Honestly, when I actually counted how many bottles I can realistically finish this year, I think my plan maximum is absolutely unreachable and my plan minimum is my plan maximum already,...

I have gone with Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT - its fur-like softness reminds me of snow and it smells a bit white to me. It's more like I'm on a cold white mountain, it snows in big fluffy...

I'm synching with Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT today.

More hugs for ((((Mike)))).

Big big hugs to Mike. Hopefully your dad recovers quickly and your mom stays out of virus.

Thank you guys for posting!
I misread the calendar and somehow was falsely sure it's a Vintage day this Friday... Good to know in advance that it's Snowy Mountain after all!

To me, iris and musk...

Shalimar, because I'm enchanted by it.
Who could have thought two years ago... I remember I found it rather difficult the first time I tried it. Luckily I had guts to retry it later!

Congratulations, HoP! Here's to many more years here at Basenotes! :beer: :thumbsup:

Happy Birthday Juxtapozbliss! :thumbsup: :birthdays:

Since I finished the last drops of Rebelle and apparently the Mon Guerlain EDP sample was already emptied when I put it in rotation (it was opaque), my big rotation shrank a bit and I intended to...

Khanada, it's fun to see yet another newbie to rotation threads! I hop we both will find a way to make this work and feel fun, interesting and rewarding.
Your rotation is on the bigger side, too,...

L'Eau d'Ambre Extrême by L'Artisan Parfumeur because it's a beautiful and cozy, yet light and easy to wear amber (well, at least it's light and easy to wear when dabbed from a mini).

I also took a...

Dear American friends, I wish you strength, calm and peace. Hopefully the democracy will not be destroyed.

I was on a news diet past month, too, but yesterday evening I made a stupid decision to...

Happy birthday, FiveOaksBouquet!!! :birthdays:
Many great scents, bottles worth finishing and replenishing and a great year to you!

I sprayed some Insolence for the evening.

And Quarry, peanut...

It's the 6th of January and I'm already sneaking something out of my self-made rotation in. But I wanted something fun, enveloping, and quirky for the evening. And honestly, it's not a scent I would...

In 2021 I expect to finish:

YSL Black Opium (~5 ml left of a 30 ml bottle)
Azzedine Alaia Alaia Nude (~6-7 ml left of a 10 ml bottle)
Azzedine Alaia Alaia (a big bottle of body cream and a 5 ml...

Happy birthday, Jon!!! :birthdays: :beer: :thumbsup: Have a great year - no matter what happens outside. You're worth the best that can be.

Cook.bot - thank you for staying alive, kicking and...

Ugh, then let your gut rest and heal, and you'll be able to munch on all that peanut butter and veggies in some time - the sooner, the better.
(I also prefer natural PB with no additives - love...

Herring is another thing to be thankful for, really!

Ouch, Q, I kind of remember you following some variant of Keto diet before. Pasta and potatoes diet might sound great for some as many love...

Ineespenes, glad you're feeling better!

Hugs to friends in England.
We are in a very strict lockdown since the start of December and I feel you. I'm absolutely thankful for internet and phones...

I wore Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune in the morning because I really wanted that amazing grapefruit pick me up, and then I went for a walk at noon and thought I should spray something strong on top to...

Yeah, I've been spraying my masks since spring and been enjoying it.



Haha, never thought about dabbing masks with a scent, but you did it unintentionally!

Oooh, that's a pretty little bottle of No.5, FiveOaks, no wonder you want to keep it and refill it!

I finished my first this year, too: bye bye Rebelle by Rihanna! I wanted to spray some on my...

First bottle finish this year - finished the last drops of a small bottle of Rihanna Rebelle while spraying it on my mask and my scarf before going for a walk today...and realized there's nothing to...

My wonderful Cook.bot, Quarry, HoP, and again - khanada, sending you all feel better vibes. And to anyone else who needs them, too.

H_West, thank you for reviving this yearly thread which is fun, helpful and eye opening at the same time!
I massively failed my last year's goal to shrink my wardrobe a bit and instead it got only...

Khanada, get well soon! Allergies are sooo annoying.

Off to the office today in Bvlgari Black. It gives me strength and comfort.

I have a sample of Remarkable People and truly liked it when I tried it! I'll definitely drain all the sample eventually. It's a lovely, subtle and bright citrusy-spicy scent with a lot of cardamom....

Oh Quarry! How good to see you. I devoured your recovery update, thank you for sharing. You went through A LOT. I can only imagine how trying these months were/are. Wishing you all that patience you...

Thank you, CuddleCat!
Actually, it's your posts in this thread and your descriptions on your approach to building monthly rotations that always include your seasonal favourites, newest scents,...

Happy New Year everyone, and hopefully it's much much much better than the past one!

I'm synching with Bvlgari Black for Annick Menardo synch, and synching with the ones in a grey, wet and...

Happy Annick Menardo day!

It seems like she created a lot of great fragrances, and I am lucky to own two: Bvlgari Black and Lolita Lempicka Mon Premier. I really like both.
I went with Black...

70 is a lot!

I like your thinking! Yes, the leather and rose in GGA are more like side kickers and the blackberry and cypress are more forward. I personally enjoy the somewhat cooling effect they bring. Both...

I love Moonlight Patchouli, too! A really great fragrance. I do want a bottle, but I feel that I don't really need it at least right now as it would play a similar part to which Guilty Absolute does...

I don't know about best, but at times they definitely feel refreshing and rejuvenating almost to the point of healing the mind and the body.

Lots of nice fragrances, guys!

I'll share mine, too:

Scents of the Day
Your most worn (in the last year)

Happy New Year, smelly darlings!

I planned and still plan to wear Guilty Absolute for the evening, but I woke up with a serious case of shalimaritis, so I just had to apply some EDT. I'll shower...

I decided to try something new for the next year and to dabble in Rotations for the first time. I really love variety and it's very hard for me to narrow down my choices as it always feels like it's...

Hello, I wore Oh Ma Biche by Lolita Lempicka in morning and day, and in the evening I applied one spray of Incense: Avignon.

I can choose Bvlgari Black or Lolita Lempicka Mon Premier - both are great! I'll probably wear Black, but will ultimately decide on Friday.

Hmmm, I won't be of much help as I've never tried any of the Bombshell line, but maybe you'd like to try out other fragrances of the Bombshell line?
The marketing notes of Bombshell Paris are...

Yesterday I wore L'Eau d'Ambre Extrême by L'Artisan Parfumeur during the day and Shalimar in the evening, because I wanted coziness and opulence.
Today I wear Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune because I...

I love Cuir de Russie! It feels a bit too expensive to me right now but maybe some day. I'm not in a hurry.

I smelled the cap of Black Opium and it felt amazing today so I went with it for an...

Avon Today because it's new - a creamy, soapy, milky floral. Not my taste, but well made and a pretty scent.
I might change into something ambery for the evening.

It is going well - boyfriend just made some shrimps with pasta, and we are drinking white wine and playing computer games together. Hopefully yours are going well, too!

And I'll agree that...

Cloud is fun, and I like the look of travel spray better than the original bottle!

Dior Hypnotic Poison, Guerlain Terracotta and anything Serge Lutens for you!

Merry Christmas! I'm wearing Eau Duelle for Christmas and ComDiva's cardamom day.

Beautiful gifts, Jon!

NCal, I already shared it somewhere else on BN, but I got a travel spray and a hand cream...

:D Merry Fahrenheit Friday, Danny! :D

I'm celebrating Christmas in Eau Duelle by Diptyque - because it's ComDiva's Cardamom Synch day and because it fits perfecly as a Christmas fragrance to me.
...

Merry Christmas and happy ComDiva's cardamom day!

Just like planned, I am synching with Eau Duelle by Diptyque. It's from a sample which might morph into a bottle before next Christmas - it's that...

Got a travel spray of Avon Today for Christmas, so +1 to my Wardrobe :)

Current wardrobe balance +26 (-20; +46).
Samples balance: +19 (-12; +33)
Backups balance: +9 (+10; -2)

I started 2020...

I'm all scented in Opium and a couple of sprays of Avon Today on top that I got as a gift :)

I would like to try vintage, too. The modern one is also very good

I was wearing Opium as I chose it as my Christmas Eve scent - so good! - and I was gifted Avon Today from my boyfriend's mom, so I added a few sprays of that, too. Lovely!

I received a 10 ml travel size of Avon Today and a complimentary handcream of the same scent among other small gifts from my boyfriend's mom today. Yay! It smells lovely and it's also my first Avon...

Happy Christmas Eve to everyone!
I chose Serge Lutens Un bois vanille for the day and will be changing into either Coco or Opium for the evening. We'll see. :)

Yesterday evening I wore Bapteme du Feu by Serge Lutens because it's very fitting for the season, and I'm sure I'll wear it again during the upcoming weak.
On the Christmas Eve day I chose Serge...

Alaia Nude today, because again I went through all my fragrances and this was the one that clicked today.
I like the idea of wearing either Bapteme du feu or Ambre Extreme in the evening, but we...

Hello, Alaia Nude today. I will change into something else in the evening, maybe into Bapteme du feu or something ambery.

I am looking forward to the last Synch of the year - ComDiva's cardamom day!
I love spices, and cardamom is one of the best smelling ones.

Talking about cardamom - thankfully I tag all the...

Habanita, because it's been a long while.

Happy birthday, Vernona!

Le baiser du dragon by Cartier today.

Ooooh, that's a lot of good smelling gifts! Hopefully you'll enjoy them all, CuddleCat!

Congrats! I hope you'll enjoy it, too. :) Do share your thoughts - even if you don't like it at all!



And today I chose Le baiser du dragon by Cartier - it was another morning when I couldn't...

(Hug)
Somehow I suspect we might not be the only ones going through this. There should be more of us.

After a quick afternoon shower I sprayed some Gucci Guilty Absolute pour Femme because it's my POLO.

Mandarine Basilic is amazing - enjoy it, kewart!
I really want a new and big bottle of this since I finished my travel spray - I will start hunting for it in spring.

This was a crazy year where I wanted some very different things at once.
I started the year with wanting to finish as many mere "likes" as I can, get some backups of loves, add a few classics, test...

Good morning!
I'm enjoying Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT immensely today.
Wishing everyone a good and calm week.

I couldn't decide what I wanted this morning - maybe a citrus, maybe a ginger, maybe a light amber, maybe my version of POLO (Guilty Absolute), maybe a vanilla... so I took time to smell all the caps...

This sounds exciting! Have a great time on the road together, Rick & Beth!
I haven't had the joy to try out Tauer scents yet, but I agree that Five O'Clock Au Gingembre has something Christmas-y in...

Noir Exquis by L'Artisan Parfumeur in the morning and Samsara EDT by Guerlain in the evening - both because they felt so fitting today. I smelled caps of different fragrances and these two were the...

Whoa! Thank you for the ton of work you have put in it, NCal!
I can't wait for the next year's synchs! (The few left for this year are also great :) )

Hello, today I'm cleaning my home and enjoying Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT.
Teardrop, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to town, I hope you're enjoying your haircut too. I was at hairdressers at May...

Narciso Rodriguez For Her because I felt it would be perfect today - and it is. Its softness feels like kitty fur and snow at once and it feels lovely and cozy.

Went with Chanel Coco EDT for the evening. Very wintery, Christmas-y and delightfully spicy. It took me some time to fall in love with it though.

Rest in peace, Coromandel... Long live Le Lion!
(And this is an impressive streak of finished Chanels)


I myself finished my 70 ml bottle of Alaia body cream and opened a bigger 200 ml one to...

I can definitely say that I followed this plan except for the first part of it - the buying less part.
I failed it mainly because of three things:
