Fragrance of the Day Thread

HI:

I'm wearing Creed Royal Water cuz that's all I have. :bigsmile: Oh and I still have a few drops of Le Labo Rose 31 Perfume Oil left. It still smells decent!

cheers--Sharon
 
Ordered the Mini of the new Tauer "sundowner" that just came out. Booze, Tobacco, cocoa, patchouli, spices...

SHOULD be a winner & I'm having high hopes for this....but Tauers are aren't"easy" fragrances, so I wasn't comfortable blind-buying a full bottle.

I read that part.... he's Swiss -German (German is my mother tongue) and that word is a somewhat frequently used Anglicism for "l'heure bleue" & the cocktail that goes with it... I'm pretty sure it didn't even cross his mind someone could be offended by that (other than abstinence related)

ETA: I didn't know about the dementia-related meaning before .. I guess knowing Andy Tauer he's most likely googled the term before using it.

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. It was a blind online buy to cheer myself up last year during the height of the pandemic and when I first wore it, I thought "This smells like the mall." So I thought I'd wear it today since I am going to the mall.

yep, I immediately thought about doggie dementia when I saw the name. Its other connotation...well certainly unfortunate. My parents tell the tales of such towns in the south sadly.
 
HI:

I think my Youth Dew has gone bad. It didn't think that was possible for YD! :lol-2:

cheers--Sharon
 
HI:

NEST candle Blue Cypress and Snow. So fragrant I don't even have to burn it! I'm thinking the wax is so nice I should use in case I need to wear a bikini? :lol-2: :kiss::appl::rolleyes: JK of course.

cheers--Sharon
 
J'Adore for me today. :)

This is what I love about this thread. So diverse in choices and scents! I have to google most of these brands, and I don't feel silly about that, at all. I love to learn and I'd love to try them all!
 
Bought Burberry Her: sweet fruity scent

But I think this will be my next one. Chloe eau de parfum : powdery rose scent. Yum
 
Today was Acqua di Parma’s Ginepro di Sardegna. To me, this was like my own little aromatherapy to sniff during the day. Unfortunately, I now associate it with the awful, early days of Covid in March 2020. I was wearing it to work (which, as a nurse, is kind of a no-no) and the smell was providing me comfort in a time of misery—working weeks without a day off, unsure exactly how the virus was spread, being apart from my kids because everyone was afraid. Anyway, it gave me comfort until I realized I shouldn’t be wearing it out of consideration for others as we were all rewearing and sharing the same PPE gowns at that point due to the PPE shortage. Good times . I’m trying to get past that mental association but no luck. Scent memory is very powerful.

Great choice! You will find yourself reaching for this often
Portrait of a lady is very nice if patchouli is your thing
 
Tonight is Villorosi Teint de Neige. Time for a new bottle i think!

I haven't tried that one. Tuberose is my jam and therefore have enjoyed CF it for years.

I discovered it about a year and a half ago and I reach for it often. You are right the tuberose is the magic 'potion' in it.
 
Today I'm wearing Bortnikoff Chypre du Nord from one of their sample sets. This stuff blows my freaking mind and I wasn't sure what to expect but that wasn't it...lol Peach always scares me a little but in this its really light hand.

Not a house for everyone as they tend to use a lot of natural ingredients (some of which might be frowned upon by some)

Soo , I bought a BuB of vanilla flash AND decided I still needed the new Sundowner (in spite of the name). I'm Sorry Arcadian, as I'm not a native speaker and have only followed 2 fragrance blogs and done a quick google search I wasn't aware that there's apparently a third very gruesome meaning to it. Im 100% positive that's the case for Andy Tauer himself as well....

The fragrance itself starts very earthy, astringent and quickly reveals that cacao note. I find it very similar to Vanilla flash in teh "feeling" , but where vanilla flash is radiant Ans floral in the beginning, sundowner is way more earthy. It develops smokey and more rosey .



It has excellent lasting power but mild sillage. But maybe thats due to the broken Spray nozzle my bottle came with. I know Andy Tauer is a one man show and does everything himself, but unfortunately that means that the bottle/mechanism isnt top notch. Which is a price I'm willing to pay without hesitation for a a truly independent perfumer who does whatever the h*CK he wishes to do without any marketing peeps telling him what to do!!

Your description makes me want to get a sample. I love vanilla fragrances and this sounds right up my alley

Dior Ambre nuit.

Toned down, soft musk scent. As usu with the Dior extraordinaire line : excellent lasting power.

Nothing ground breaking, but a calming, warm skin scent. Extremely wearable ( thank you Santa)
 
Do you guys have a website suggestion for where to get perfume samples? I’d love a new scent but going into stores to smell things doesn’t feel like an option right now!
