Lulz. Those are the types of girls you don't want chasing you.

Today, Amouage Dia (Homme). Starts pretty gentle, subdued, mildly interesting. Not bad. Now, three hours later it strongly resembles PdN Baladin, except with just enough spice and sunshine to make it worth sniffing. Or, if you prefer, a lighter, easier-wearing Azuree / Aramis.

As with Goldilocks and the three Bears:

Azuree: too loud
Baladin: too boring
Dia Homme: just right.

Too bad it costs and arm and a leg.

Thanks M-C and Thomas for the offers. I don't want anything else on my plate for the next week or so, but I will come calling eventually. As for today - PdN Vetyver - very light and gone (to my nose at least) within an hour. Meh.

Sticking with the vetiver theme, SMN vetiver today. I would actually consider this a very accurate representation of vetiver. Very earthy grass. I think I'm just coming around to the fact that I really don't like vetiver all that much.

Same here.


Too hot to wear anything today so I went bareback.

I used to limit my barebacking to warm-weather days too, but I've discovered that it's a good option in many different meteorological conditions. The trick is just not to overdo it.

Rose 31 really is an excellent fragrance, though. I was looking over Turin and Sanchez's Perfume Guide the other day and noticed that they gave it one star. I was shocked. I don't wear Rose 31 a lot because it just doesn't feel like "me." But I can't imagine someone denying that it's a great fragrance.

I'm not sure I'd call Rose 31 dark, though. C&S No. 88 and Dark Rose are darker roses. Also Montale Black Aoud.


I've said it before but I hate Rose 31 - I put my two decants into the sample box and sent them away. I find it to be a thin, harsh black pepper scent with hardly any rose at all.

I just got back from a short trip to NYC and I only brought Knize Ten, so I wore it the last 5 days. Absolutely love it. I loved it before, too, but now I think I need to find a full bottle (just have a decant now).
