Guerlain Parure

 

[Arcadian]

I'm in a class so its a no perfume day (so far!!) can't wait to get home and spritz myself with something!

 

[Arcadian]

Today I'm wearing Hermes Un Jardin En Mediterranee I think I'd rather wear this one on a much hotter day. Its still very nice though.

 

[ckrickett]

I have been LIVING In Givenchy L'Atelier Iris Harmonique. The Iris, Ylang Ylang, Gaiac Wood and Oud! LOVE IT! Just wished it lasted longer on my skin

Today is Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée

 

[Arcadian]

reached way back and pulled out Frederic Malle Le Parfum de Therese. Why I don't wear it more is beyond me, its always so scrumptious and lasts forever. (my bottle is of older stock I heard they changed something in the newer stuff.)

This thread is amazing...and also super dangerous!! I'd somehow fallen into the rabbit hole that is LuckyScents last week and then visited this thread for the first time today - let's just say I've already placed an order for a bunch of samples and my cart is already all the way filled up over on Surrender to Chance as well.

I was wondering if some of you amazing ladies might be able to give me some suggestions, Freesia is my makes-everything-better scent, along with tart, peppery scents. Some of my favorites are Calvin Klein Eternity, Gucci II, and Bath & Body Works Sheer Freesia. I've already ordered Byredo Tulipe which sounds promising, as well as a few others based the descriptions on LuckyScents. Are there any others that I must try?

Also, when you order samples in the glass vials, do you just dab those on your wrists?

Thank you!

Its cool enough to wear Balmain Jolie Madam! This perfume is my favorite for leather and violet (and oakmoss...lots and lots of it!) I'm wearing the parfum version, which can be quite strong if you're not prepared!

@walkinfaith, yes very dangerous. I'm surprised I having jumped the shark and broke my no buy. so many here have phenomenal wardrobes. If I had more room....

The glass dabbers are ok for some things, but I don't fee like they tell you the entire story. I purchased some 1-3ml atomizer sprayers from on ebay. Most of them are chinese companies but the prices are pretty negligible.

I got a sample of Sud Pacifique Vanilla Abricot and I like it so much I might just purchase a small bottle.

 

[ckrickett]

Something smokey today! MFK Oud Cashmere Mood

Thanks for the tip on the sprayers!

How is the Oud in this one? Sometimes it can be so sour Only type I found that I liked was Cambodian Oud.

this isn't sour at all but it is very heavy and smokey. I love it, but haven't worn it in awhile and over sprayed (I just need 2 spritz but I did 5) so I was like WOOOAHH BOY! But it is one of my favorite Ouds! Also South Florida never gets cold enough to really enjoy this heavy smokey fragrance, but I do love it

Thanks, I will have to search this one out and give it a try.

Well for south florida I think you may be south of me as I'm in PBG. But it sure was chilly this morning! Of course, my friends left in New England tell me not to rub it in. I think I will love this winter.

Terracotta Le Parfum by Guerlian. UHHH I adore this so much!

 

[AGBF]

I haven't been reading or posting in this thread for a long time, but it was a great help to me in getting back into fragrances. What happened was that I used it for a while, then amassed many vanilla perfumes (and a few fig ones) as well as a lot of samples, and retreated into my own little world. I now need some help. My father's male aide uses my vanilla perfume from time to time (whichever one I have available). I told him I would get him a nice male vanilla fragrance for Christmas and I would like your suggestions on the best one. Thanks in advance!

Deb, try L'Occitaine Eau des Baux This is a spiced vanilla with a touch of tobacco. One of my favorites and IMO unisex. Not terribly expensive either so should fit the bill

Thierry Mugler A Men Pure Havane Its more tobacco and honey but vanilla rears its head There's also a touch of dark cocoa. I wore my sample for 2 days. yeah its not exactly manly IMO...lol


Dame Perfumery Black Flower Mexican Vanilla this is just really really good. I got a 5ml sample from their website.....swoon-worthy! Unisex. Worth getting to try it out (they send samples of all types of stuff...they have amazing great stuff!)

Givenchy Pi. I wore that in college I really like it, it should have been dubbed unisex frankly. Might be another extreme version of this but I've never smelled it personally.
