Yesterday I was off from work and not online much (which I enjoyed) so I wasn't able to post that I was in Sync, in my (I can't...

So funny I put a bit on last night before I headed out for Chinese food. Such a classic!

I tested Murkwood and Steading this week and I also wore Christmas Wine before that and my sheets last night when I got into bed smelled like Pineward!!!! lol

Diptyque L’Ombre dans L’Eau?

Quarry you have no idea how comforted I feel when I log on to BN at the end of the day and see your post. Any post. Serious. It's soooo nice.


Il Dieci by Bogue Profumo
...

Same with the other L'Artisan that Giacobetti did, Jour de Fete. I'd love to have a full bottle so I could spray w abandon!

You have to try it Zealot! One of Giacobetti's best and also one of her strongest scents. There is absolutely NO other scent on the market that smells like Dzing!

This morning I wore:

Tonight it was:

Patchouli Absolu by Tom Ford

So nice to read everyone's words of encouragement, positive vibes and hopeful posts. I stayed totally 'offline' today so I didn't know what would happen but it sounds like it was a good day.
...

I've tried it. It's sooooo synthetic. I tried to like it and I just don't.

Would you call it refreshing?

I love the idea of a clove prominent eaux-type cologne/fragrance.

I own IUNX Splash Forte but that one is more cinnamon. The EdC version of the original CdG...

You're not missing anything. I have disliked entire houses, for years (I could probably name 10 from the top of my head where I dislike every single scent in the line and everyone raves about them...

I had no idea that you were engraving it yourself. Wow!

Sorry but I have no idea.

If you find a bargain priced bottle Bigsly in my opinion stick with EdP or EDC or Parfum. I personally don’t like LhB in EdT.

Also this one doesn’t age well. Buyer beware.

Yeah I feel like it's a bit overpriced for what it is: a nice 'fresh' unisex rose. The Cartier you asked about as a comparison is much more dynamic, radiant and multi-layered compared to the Aesop. ...

You'll love Sarassins.

Wow so we're on the same page when it comes to this house lol.

My friend said Olympic Rainforest had that smell of decay...much more so than say 'dirt'. Sounded interesting. I like some...

So have you smelled vintage Joy by Jean Patou? If not please try to get some Parfum. It's unbelievably good and pretty much sums up the title of this thread.

Today, for the 1st time, I finally got whatever was talking about when it comes to Mysterious Oud. Wow! What a beauty. There are several elements of this scent in a few other Bortnikoff's, but MO...

I was able to sample this yesterday as I spotted a bottle at this hip men's store in Wynwood and they have several CdG scents.

I like it. Def vetiver prominent, lot's of caked dirt and iodine and...

I see what you mean. I think I even mentioned that I smell something Guerlain-ish in Grandenia - which appealed to me. I do think that vintage Habit Rouge EdT is a bit more citrus-radiant than the...

A nice casual, slow Saturday. I'm loving it.

This morning I wore Royk by Madhat - it was nice and cold and this stuff smells so good in this weather. After Cross Fit I showered and went to...

Really enjoying my Woodcut.

I also got samples of Salamanca, Cafe V and Night Flyer (which I have owned as Bat before).

A friend I talked to today said he sampled Olympic Rainforest today...

UPDATE: I saw the shop open today!

See!!?? I am not alone. :)

Haha!

Try Radish X Vetiver Eau de Parfum by Comme des Garcons: Clash

^ This!

I am interested in sampling this one. I love Thunderstorm by Demeter. For that matter I like iodine prominent vetiver notes. And I'm a CDG geek.

Is it anything like the theme of say...Memories of a Trepasser by Imaginary Authors?

Yep, these ^

Essence No. 8: Santal by Elie Saab is great!!

I bought a decant online (eBay) because it got a lot of good talk on some sandalwood thread somewhere...don't remember which one. I wore it 2 times...

Wore this one today:

L'Heure Exquise by Bortnikoff Perfumes

I thought it might be that one.

I have made a pomander - the smell of a real pomander is quite amazing. It's just so much work.

Yes! I wore it Boreal two times yesterday (drained my sample) and loved it. It wears very close on my skin so I can't wait to get more of it so I can spray with abandon. I think it's next on my...

Potpourri? Although I don't see orange listed.

Have you smelled Secret Melange lmdm? In my opinion it smells EXACTLY like a pomander.

They are, most reviews mention the orange. Or at the very least they're mentioning it in a double-entendre sort of way. Alas...if it smells like oranges and cloves I'm interested.

Today I wore Boreal by Pineward Perfumes, the very last of my sample.

https://fimgs.net/mdimg/perfume/375x500.64599.jpg

Lovely stuff. Think forest pine, dense with a cool whiff of...

Have you ever tried Caron Pour un Homme? It's got lots of vanilla, with the lavender, but the combination is super-comforting and powdery. I miss my bottle and to be honest I wore it just as much...

Thanks. Note list looks promising: Materials: Civet, African Musk, Japanese Ambergris, Indian Sandalwood Oi, Mysore Sandalwood, Ceylon Sandalwood, Moldovan Rose Otto, Medina Rose Otto, Taif Rose...

Haven't worn this decant in a while - today it smells pretty darned good. But, yeah, only a whiff of sandalwood in this one.

Scandalwood by Heretic Perfumes

Quarry - handling each day, at a time, is definitely a good idea. Not only for this temporary health craziness in your life now, but overall even after that. It's easier said than done - but then...

I agree ^

Another suggestion, not mentioned is Arancia di Capri by Acqua di Parma. I got a massage at a spa this past weekend and they had Arancia Hand Soap in the mens room and wow I forgot how...

I was thinking the same thing. Or for that matter Secret Melange by MPG.

I have to be honest I think Vetiver Nocturne, in any version, is one that would choke me out if I oversprayed. Maybe I'm hyper sensitive to something he used in that...

Thanks, no surprise. I wore the rest of the sample of mine today. It does, to me, remind me the most of Norne by Slumberhouse - and I mean that as a compliment. I only own one Slumberhouse FB...

Thank you!!!

Happy Birthday Capri Dog!

khanada - I luuuuuurve the Pet Shop Boys. One of the few concerts I got all choked up and cried during, hearing some of their old songs brought up so much memories of my...

This got an overall positive review on Now Smell This. I am still interested in smelling this, but I don't think this line of Serge Lutens is sold in any stores in South Florida at the moment.

So it's a smoky vanilla, then (LiTA?)

Interesting. Is Murkwood (previously called Incense & Fir) your best selling one in the line?

Me too!

Musk Cologne and Musk Khabib by Bortnikoff

https://fimgs.net/mdimg/perfume/375x500.55971.jpghttps://fimgs.net/mdimg/perfume/375x500.54484.jpg

Wow - thank you all so much for the kind words and the hugs and the prayers + most of all just listening to what's going for everyone in our little 'world' here.

I spoke to Dad this morning, he is...

I don't think I know what that smells like isolated. The only thing I ever remember smelling that I (think) had carrot seed in it is this After-Sun Spray that Burts Bees used to sell (I never see it...

I had a tiny amount left from my sample of Musk Cologne so today I wore it and Musk Khabib at the same time. Wow! Amazing combination.

Sounds great! Question: Is it powdery?

Jon Rodgers - Happy (Belated) Birthday! You're the best, and everyone here is made more comfortable by your presence

Which was described perfectly by Ryan on the Pineward...

I was so busy yesterday I didn't get to post or read the SOTD thread until very early this morning (when I had a weird bit of insomnia - probably because (like Quarry) I drastically changed my diet...

I am not surprised that it doesn't have immortelle. I mean Steading is not like...say...Eau Noire by Christian Dior...or Sables by Annick Goutal. It is not quite as 'maple syrup'. But the...

In the past couple of days I have worn Grandenia, Musk Lave and Baikal Gris Attar. They all have insane longevity. I really have to be careful.

I love Grandenia, more and more, each time I wear...

Yeah I feel like, looking at his attention to detail and packaging he is up there with Tauer and Aftel.

((giggle))

Have you tried Green Water by Jacques Fath? Everyone raves about the re-release (and re-packaging) but I love the old stuff just as well. But you have to like mint to wear this one.

I agree with...

Oh whiffs of Philosykos over here with Momma Quarry and a cloud of Kai over here with Shycat. Let's stink up this joint!! ((plopping down between you both...probably still reeking of my SOTD and in...

My patient partner rarely complains about my SOTD but today's smoky powerhouse was strong enough to get him to say something ((and open up a window...cough, cough)). Those of you who own this or...

I wore Sayat Nova (one spray) to bed last night. I kept waking up, having these whiffs of the most unbelievable scent and then remembering why and falling back asleep lol.

Ah so you know how Giacobetti creates her scents. She applies that same sparse, minimal technique to Indian sandalwood. It's very well done.

Thanks for the heads up MdM

The top notes of Steading are very immortelle-forward...very curry-ish, with that signature celery seed note that I recognize from Yatagan.

Had an awesome dinner by myself tonight (Ruth's Chris Steak House) and now home getting ready for tomorrow, The First Work Day of 2021 in a tiny spray of:

Steading by Pineward Perfumes
...

So this bottle - but with the dual choice of an atomizer or cap? ^

I couldn't agree more. I feel like it and Prada's Luna Rossa are cut from the same cloth.

This morning I wore a spray of Woodcut by Olympic Orchids (it's addictive stuff) and then after a super-sweaty Cross Fit session, and a drive to Miami Beach to get into the cool ocean water, and then...

Smelling Aromatic Elixir on someone is absolutely divine. I had a co-worker who wore it for years and every time she was in the office I loved smelling it when she walked by.

Quarry - who knew showers could bring such excitement, right!? You smell figgy and green and yummy...so enjoy it.

foxbins - that kitty would surely wear on my patience...I don't know how you do...

Sounds like one of his early ones. Maybe Amber Tar.

I really like this apple note in this one. I also could see this one easily sliding into warmer weather...the tobacco isn't cloying on me.
