Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

It's actually quite heavy orange and tomato.

Any pungency with regards to the garlic and cumin? Either way, I'll try it when I get the chance to.
It's probably good that it's only "inspired" by harissa. I'm not sure I'd want to smell like harissa.

Definitely "inspired" is the word, and there is no appreciable cumin.

What's funny is that Harissa was composed by B. Duchaufour and is probably one of his lightest creations ever.

Pear and Olive for me today.

Does it smell anything like pears and olives? Or more like Jules?

 

[L'Incandescent]

Definitely more like pears and olives than Jules. There's more pear than olive, but you can definitely detect a little bit of olive in the background. (No Jules in the background.)

Didn't take shower so I still have some left over of Cartier Roadster. So I randomly put some Creed Millesime Imperial on top of that and the outcome was impressive

Actually, I'm going to return the Platinum Egoitste. It is almost identical to CK Eternity which can be found for $25 in the states. Trying to decide what to spend the $90 on at Macy's.. As much as I don't want to, I'm leaning toward Bleu De Chanel or something like that. I have dry skin and want a summer frag that lasts all day.. I smoke as well so I need something that projects..

^^^ Is it just me or does Platinum remind you of Drakkar Noir?

Also, just out of curiosity, what do you think of Egoiste?

I am tossing up between FB of Antaeus or Platinum.  We do not have Egoiste in Australia.

^^ You might want to give Cartier Declaration d'un Soir a try if you haven't already.

Today: Chanel Eau de Cologne.

For an EdC this stuff has lasting power...

^^^I've found that most of the Chanel stuff has decent lasting power.

ELd'O Putain des Palaces today. Trynig not to think about what that name means in English.

Comme des Garcons Harissa might be up your alley.
Another consideration is Dior Granville - it's fresh citrus at first but with an evergreen drydown that still remains fresh.

dior, Granville looks promising...anywhere I'm likely going to be able to try it on first (in Seattle, fwiw)?

My wife cracked up when I told her. I think I better wear some Fantastic Man soon to restore my reputation.

Neimans here in SF has the Dior range now, so I'd try there if Seattle has one as well as a Dior boutique.
