Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

The sun is finally out in London, so I'm wearing some Jardin sur le Nil from Hermes. Not entirely sure how to describe it, but it's a nice scent, and lasts a very long time.

Tobacco Vanille today. Yesterday was Guerlain's Après L'Ondée.

@Maquis: :Regarding Mitsouko, I haven't tried any other formulation/concentration yet. Anyhow, I'll give it another wear next week and will try to describe it.

Yesterday I had current Chanel Cuir de Russie EdT on my left wrist and vintage Cuir de Russie EdC on my right. The vintage is much more animalic and a stronger blast of aldehydes in the beginning. The overall structure except for the musky and castoreum animal note was very, very similar between the two, and the vintage EdC I have is probably sixty years old.

Jardin sur le Nil is one of my summer favorites. The first time I smelled it, right after it came out, I thought it must have been a mistake. That tart mango note at the top really took me by surprise.

Pre-shower: Smell Bent She Wolf
SOTD: Histoires de Parfum 1969 Revolte. I'm becoming a fan of this one.

Walking around in the sun today, so it was Annick Goutal Duel. Then later, vintage Eau Sauvage. Rosemary basil yerba maté...

SOTD: Histoires de Parfum 1969 Revolte. I'm becoming a fan of this one.

This one is interesting. I spent the better part of an hour on Friday going over the entire HdP line; some aren't to my taste, but they are almost all really well made...

Need to try HdP 1969 again. Agreed it is well made, but again, not sure whether I wish to smell like a chocolate peach the whole day.

SOTD: HdP 1828. Not bad longevity on my scent eating skin.

Not a SOTD but where is a good place to buy some samples? Just bought a bunch from Luckyscent, any other places I should take a look?
