Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

I wanted to try the Sex Pistols scent a while back but never got around to it. Now that it's Malaise...no thanks.

There are still lots of the old Sex Pistols bottles available. I was exactly the opposite: I didn't have much interest in trying Sex Pistols, but now that it's Malaise of the 1970s, I'm very keen to try it. I ordered some the other day, so we'll see.

I also ordered some Archives 69 because of the pink packaging. I don't know why, but I can't resist pink packaging.

ELDO Rossy de Palma today.

First time summer around here this year...

SotD: Colonia Assoluta.
SotN: Yerbamate. Too dry, almost offensive bitter/dry. And a tad pee. Drydown is still bitter but more pleasant.

Anyone been to the Perfume House in Portland and care to share their thoughts on it?

Today: Portrait of a Lady.

I'm jealous.

L'interdit today for a warm, but fairly dry day. The fruit/white musk/aldehydes are lovely on this kind of day... it give a dry, slightly powdery feel to balance the heat.

Wearing my new bottle of vintage Aramis "natural cologne spray." As I said before, not really sure if there has been a reformulation, but I've never worn Aramis before, just sniffed it in passing. I'm struck by how much this smells like Balenciaga Portos, which I do have. Aramis mush surely have come first though.

Been thinking of trying Aramis for a while, but I could never justify buying it, since I always found it similar to Antaeus. How do you like it? Is it similar to Antaeus in the heart and drydown?

I've been wearing a bunch of ELDO scents lately. This has always been one of my favorite houses, but I haven't worn them a lot over the last few months. I figured I'd try my old nemesis Vraie Blonde as my bedtime scent tonight. I only made it about ten minutes before I had to scrub it off. I think I'm done trying to appreciate this one.

I like the logo for this perfume:

You have been on a ELDO kick recently. I need to get a sample of Jasmine et Cigarette and try it - I think that would be my best introduction to this house.

I don't find it all that close to Antaeus, which to me is really set apart by the beeswax note. The only thing that ever really reminded me of Antaeus is Bel Ami, and only in the later stages of each. Aramis is good, but it's very much of it's era. It's a brash spicy leathery man scent. I'd only wear it with a very light hand.

I think there's also a good chance you'd really like Rien.

Pre-shower: 100% Love. It's hard for me to imagine even a single person in the whole world enjoying this.
SOTD: Secrete Datura

Thanks for the info. I wear both Bel Ami and Antaeus and can certainly see a similarity there. I actually picked up Antaeus when I couldn't find a replacement bottle of Bel Ami. I didn't realize Aramis was so strong, but now I will have to try it the next time I see it. The leather and spice combo sounds good.
