Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

[HORNS]



No, it took me a couple of sniffs and I was hooked. When I found a bottle secondhand, I jumped at it. Sometimes I'm not feeling it - but I can say that for pretty well everything in the herd.
The rest of the Le Labos...nope. I probably said that about Rose 31, or Labdanum 18, which I eventually gave up on.

Ahh. I can see how Rose 31 appeals to people but the the flowery component is too fleeting on me.

Malle - Une Fleur de Cassie. Complex scent.

Tonight on my wrist: L'Artisan Safran Troublant - a great gourmand but couldn't imagine going through an entire bottle.

Rose 31 today... first day at new job. Felt it gave a nice warm impression for the walk around meet and greet.

plotting day 2....

I recommend Secretions Magnifiques. You will make quite an impression with that.

I've had a bottle of Bel Ami for at least 5 year now and have hardly made a dent in it. Too sharp, too spicy.

Today I pulled it off the shelf, and for the first time in forever, it's agreeable.

Your choice is probably better than what I recommended! Congratulations on the new job, btw.

About five years ago, Bel Ami was probably the fragrance I wore more than any other. I haven't worn it as much in the last few years, though. When I read your post I thought, is it really that sharp and spicy? I went and applied a little and discovered that yes, it really is!

MPG George Sand for me today.

Voyage d'Hermes today - I sprayed on a shitload to see what happens.

I got rid of my bottle years ago for that same reason. It overpowered me.

Next up in my sample box, Guerlain Eau de Coq. First of all, I love a Guerlain eau de cologne because it has that beautiful Guerlinade backbone. Second of all, I dumped on a vials worth and it's just about gone already, an hour later. Third, I realize that I don't really have a bottle of an eau de cologne, apart from Eau Savage, which doesn't quite count I don't think. I'd like to remedy that. Any suggestions? I was thinking of trying that Tauer one. Also, I know Luca Turin raves about Eau de Guerlain. There's also 4711, which I love but which also doesn't last.

Chanel's Eau de Cologne is supposedly nice but it comes in a huge bucket. That said, I'm not sure any classical cologne will last very long. The best I've seen in terms of longevity that comes close is Signoricci.

Tom Ford Black Orchid.

I like the scent - seems sophisticated and sexy - but it's a little stifling, if you know what I mean. It's not overpowering, like spray-on deodorant, but it's as though there's an ingredient that clogs the nose and prevents you from appreciating the scent to the fullest extent.
