Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

Montale Black Aoud today.

Spending the day at home never stops me from wearing a fragrance.

Me neither. But I felt inspired by HORNS to "light up my Noel candle".

If you guys are wanting a lovely Christmas candle, you should get the Noel - it's the best evergreen holiday candle available, in my opinion.

I was looking for a nice winter candle and found a Dyptique holiday coffret that I think works well. The three fragrances—Opoponax, Oliban, and Feu de Bois—work well individually, of course, but I was surprised at how well all three work together. Beautiful, sweetly resinous, and smoky.

I'm still looking for a nice holiday candle with a piney scent, so I'll check out the Annick Goutal—Thanks.

I also have been wearing PoaL for the last couple of days. There's a dryness to it that I find very pleasant; I guess it's part of the patchouli but I find that it actually makes the scent very masculine. Or very clean, at least. I shared it with a couple of (female) friends and they all fell in love with it as well; I've been bombarded with text messages asking me where the hell they can get it for less than 300$.

To answer my own question from a couple of days ago - it was clear and cold today again and I wore ambre russe and have really enjoyed it. The vodka note is oddly comforting (and, to my nose, really really alcoholic), and there's something that comes off (to me) as very ripe plums. Basenotes has "Russian Tea" listed as one of the notes, so maybe that's it, but it's an almost prune-like scent. It's very warm and boozy (which is, I think, how another member described it). I'm not sure I can identify the leather, and I also don't get anything overtly "feminine" from it - something I would say about a lot of the scents I have tried recently, most of which have been marketed as "feminine" scents. It's all just, like, a state of mind, dude.

To whoever recommended i (l'inc?)t: I actually have a tiny decant of De Bachmakov that I've been returning to over the last month or two, and I don't think I love it. It really smells strongly of coriander to me, and not much else, which sort of just makes me think of body odor - on me, at least.

Rambo, I'm not sure what a pile of ***** smells like. I was thinking more like leaves. Or roses with frost on them. You know, poetic-like.

Oh, and speaking of Ropion/Malle, I have also really been loving une fleur de Cassie! It seems to have a similar dryness to PoaL; almost chalky. I dig.

SOTD: Cartier Declaration.

So, after work I headed over to Aedes to check out Portrait of a Lady. Wow, this is really beautiful juice. I'm pretty much a rose virgin, but the rose in this is a little dark and a little dirty, with a big patchouli kick that keeps it in perfect balance. I got fruits, but nothing too sweet, just a well-balanced composition that kept calling to me all evening...

I scored a sample, so I'll be wearing this fully at some time in the future to really get the whole effect.

I'm glad to see everyone trying Portrait of a Lady lately! I think anyone who loves fragrance has to try it.

I've switched into Jicky edt for the evening. I've gotten accustomed to wearing Ungaro II when I wanted that kind of vibe, but Jicky really is in a class by itself, IMO.

SOTD: l'eau d'Hiver FM. It's starting to feel like winter in here. That's why.

Today, an unusually warm day, even for Texas. Went with Etro Shaal Nur: a dry incense / vetiver / vanilla

Yesterday, Halston Amber Man. wow wow wow, why didn't I discover this juice a while ago. It's one of the best Amber scents out there.
Will give Ferrari Oud essence a full wearing today.
