Great frag. Congrats!

I own the vintage EDC, and it never fails to brighten my mood.

Welcome!

7 of Bel Ami for me today.

I really enjoyed Bel Ami today. I oversprayed a bit since my daughter has gone back to school, and I really caught the fruity lemon in the opening. It was really quite pleasant.

She might have just missed P_M posting about it in the Vero thread. And we had to act pretty quickly because some of them were selling out.

Kotori, Proust_Madeleine and I teamed up to order some fragrances from Campo Marzio in Rome. They are the only house carrying reincarnations of Vero Profumo but with 90 eu for shipping to the...

Ugh, so sorry to hear this. Sending you good thoughts.

I grabbed my Panah London Brandied Pear this morning. So cozy and comfortable on a chilly grey day.

Yep, all valid. I've always felt she needed more help, but I believe she does it all herself. I guess that is how she manages her company finances, to stay in business. I could be wrong but even when...

It's only available from SIXTEEN92.COM. An artisinal perfume house, one my favorites. She sells direct only. She rotates her stock frequently and sells out too, but then brings them back. She...

Right? It's crisp and cool, like an icy rose.

Notes are:

(I love it.)

Congrats on the new job!

I wore Sycomore today. Wanted something warm and earthy.

I just mentioned Archer in another thread. So good! Same sense of comedy is Harley Quinn on HBO. Freaking hilarious, you should check it out.

Love it!



I hope you'll recover quickly!

Good news and great stories!

I selected an old favorite, one of the first niche fragrances that I purchased: Mad et Len Blackmusc. It's such an easy to like sweet musk. Makes me happy.

I almost bought Amber Teutonic at the Chicago meetup after sampling it. It has an intriguing amber against pine contrast



Thank you!

White Peacock Lily by D.S. & Durga. It was kind of an impulse grab this morning but felt a bit celebratory for my birthday.

I like this one too. Impulsively, I grabbed Mito extrait from Vero Profumo today. A dark, jungle green.

Glad you enjoyed this one. I think SHL is a great house, Taklamakan is one of my favorites. I think Black Gemstone is a great one for a gothic effect. I also like the Montale Black Aoud recos, that's...

Yikes. I have a full bottle of Mito extrait, which is epic. I sure would like to try some others.

Green Irish Tweed to swap!

It's a very warm delightful scent. Modest silage but decent longevity. Relaxing and comforting.

Brandied Pear by Panah London really hit the spot tonight.

Awake is the perfect representation of a sweet coffee scent. You could also try Cafe Intense from Montale for a rose-coffee fragrance that isn’t quite as sweet.

Oh for sure. I know that is an artisinal one-man shop. I used to have two pure sandalwood oils from him, but I ended up swapping them.

Impressive collection!
