@ckrickett, thanks, but no need to be jealous considering the beauties you have in your wardrobe! If I had more room Id probably go crazy I'm trying VERY hard to put myself on a perfume diet but you know how well that goes....lol My biggest weakness are the vintages. the bottle of narcisse noir was so cheap because it was mispelled and nobody else bid on it...lol I also got a bottle of 80's Coco Chanel for pretty decent amount. LUVEEEET!!!! waiting for it to get cooler to wear this baby!

I'm still going through the Dame Perfumery samples I purchased. Today is Peach Blossom, Violet, and Vanilla. and OMG this is so full bottle worthy

 

[ckrickett]

Simple and sweet today. YSL Mon Paris again. I love this fruity floral

I figured it would be up your alley based on your description! I'm very excited for you!

 

[Arcadian]

so I took a detour on Dame perfumery and wearing Guerlain Elixir Charnel Oriental Brulant after a particularly nasty hot day clearing the yard and a particularly luxurious shower... wow... #YAAAASQUEEEN!!!!

I really do like this even though I'm not really stuck on sweets. Its sweet but not little girl sweet. Like a lot of perfumistas I kinda have too many samples This one I got from a trip to NYC about a year or so ago. On my want list

 

[Confection10]

Many thanks for posting your collections. It helped me to believe I'm not totally nut...I have ordered almost all my parfums from US, because we have quite limited supplies here in Finland. And insane prices if You'll find something interesting.

 

[Arcadian]

Nice collection Confection10! I've heard that before, which blows my mind. There's definitly houses that are hard to find in the US as well. I find it hard to get some Italian houses here, which means I might have to find a perfume mule to bring some back for me.

What cheeses me the most is when houses do exclusives to a certain area. Guerlain has a bad habit of doing that.

 

[ckrickett]

Love it Confection!!!

 

[ckrickett]

Today is something fresh and green and slightly floral. The Beautiful Veviter Babylon from Armani Prive. Supposed to invoke the gardens of Babylon. Just lovely and so fresh!

 

[Gem Queen]

Today I'm wearing Jordan Amalfi by Creed.
So pretty

 

[Arcadian]

Lolita Lempicka Si Lolita. It was the perfect day for it, a bit breezy, cooler, overcast. One of the few in my wardrobe the is sweetpea centric.

 

[ckrickett]

went on a perfume buying binge last night. Wearing one of my purchases. MFK Baccarat Rouge 240. Light and sweet

 

[Confection10]

Gorgeous heliotrope today; Trussardi My Name. Heliotrope is one of the most delicious flower in the world. Every time I see it in our parks I'll stop to sniffing and hope that I could bottled that scant

 

[Arcadian]

I reached way back and pulled out Bath and Bodyworks Night Blooming Jasmine. The pup is off getting a dental cleaning which doesn't make me a happy person. So, pulled out something to help keep it in perspective.

Not in production anymore, so my 2 bottles are very precious. I also have 2 lotions.

New purchase today I smelled this on a whim and fell in Love Derek Lam Silent Street. Gorgeous white musks!

 

[redwood66]

Just reporting back that I love it! Narcisco Rodriguez is amazing and I will enjoy it. Now if I could just find a couple others to switch up with. How do any of you like the Dolce & Gabanna pour femme? I love the D&G pour homme on my DH and he gets so many complements on it, the women at his work love it. LOL.

I found it to be pretty, like a raspberry marshmallow! If thats up your alley, then I think you'll like, but of course must test first. I have cerruti 1881 blanch, is in the same vein without raspberry.

Are you looking for something on the sweeter side of life?

Maybe a tad sweeter because the NR is quite musky.

Confection inspired me to wear Creed Fleurissimo today. I had just picked up a new bottle of it but hadn't gotten around to wearing it yet. I love the complex floral notes in this!

 

[Arcadian]

Redwood here's a few that I think may work for you and a few you may want to try because you just never know how they act on skin;


Insolence by Guerlain. It also has a raspberry note (I find it a bit more pronounced) but combined with violet. There's a sense of powderiness on the drydown until it fades. I found it longer lasting than D&G though by quite a bit, but very office friendly.

A heavier perfume is Miss Dior Cherie. I don't consider this anywhere near fresh though I do like the popcorn note. Also, its got patchouli, so if you hate fruitchoolies, maybe not for you.

Fresh figs; Diptyque Philosykos. I really like this one, slightly woody, fresh figs are very nice. Coconut milk keeps it from being too austere. If you can't find that one, then look to L'Artisan Figuier which is very similar (I find it wears softer though)
Outside of that Jo Malone Wild Fig and Cassis. In fact try anything you can find of this line. I find they wear quite light for the most part.

If you have a Saks near you, try Love by Kilian. Its sweet, thats all I'm going to say


Estee Lauder has this perfume called Pleasures Delight, which I think you would have really liked. I still have a small sample of it but I think its been discontinued. If you see their counter, ask about it beacause it may still be around.
