Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread - Page 983

Thx, yeah, not looking for aftershave just looking for something less complicated than what I've been wearing. I'll check out YSL.

Today: Cuir Ottoman.

For you guys in or visiting New York, you should go by Village Tannery, which is very close to MiN (it's on Great Jones Street between Broadway and Lafayette) - it has a wonderful leather smell that is quite inspiring to those who love leather scents.

I'm really liking this Cuir Ottoman.

I think we might have had a conversation about this before. Yeah, I do enjoy Coeur de Vetiver Sacre. I'd go so far as to say that the name is a bit misleading, as vetiver really isn't the star note at all.

Yeah, we did have a conversation about this. Not long ago at all.

I will try to check that out next time I'm in the area. I used to work across the street from MiN, but for the last couple years, I don't get down to Soho as much as I used to (plus, it's turning into a sort of fashionista version of Times Square...)

Listen to Baron, he is the fougère king...

That's funny, I was trying to avoid the single note fragrances they have there (kind of difficult, actually) but the only one I *wanted* to try was the opoponax. I didn't get the chance because the sales person was standing over me staring, so I hurried up and missed smelling that one. Next time...

Yesterday: Nasomatto Absinth. Frankly pretty boring.
Today: Frapin Passion Boisee. I like this very much.

It's funny to see that - I suppose I've taken a recent interest in fougeres the last year or two but for a long time I didn't really like them at all.

SOTD: Versace pour Homme.

I think you did you did mention that a while back. I struggle with fougères, so the chance that I'll come around to them keeps me trying...

SOTD: Histoires de Parfums 1828 Jules Verne. (This is probably the most fougère-y I can go, except for the odd Azzaro Pour Homme or, more likely, YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme. I grew up in the 80s/90s, so there are some memories that I'd prefer to keep repressed ...)

I love the sales person in the US... Even the worse ones are above and beyond anything you will ever find in Paris, where they teach contempt from kindergarden... I never feel pushed, as I am led to believe everyone in the store works for me, the customer.

SOTD: M7 Oud Absolu.

SOTD Fahrenheit Absolute

Sycomore today.

Pre-shower: Bois de Cedrat
SOTD: Acteur

SOTD: Eau de Rochas Homme. I really like this one in the hot weather.

D&G Velvet Patchouli. Of the three I Velvet's I tried (Wood, Vetiver, and Patchouli) this is my favorite one.
