No, L'Inc I've never heard of it until now, but just reading about it makes me intrigued. Where have you tried this line?


I got a sample from STC. It's very strange, combining leather and a kind of creme brulee sweetness. I'll be honest, I don't like it much at all. But it seemed to me like the kind of thing you might like, or at least be interested in.

I have switched in Lale by Ys Uzac for the evening.

I spent all last night writing an article about an old Australian fragrance house. When I saved the final draft, Pages lost the entire damn thing. I am soothing my frustration with a liberal amount of Dior Jules.


Do you write for a living?

I'm not a big fan of Orange Sanguine; it's just too literal IMO. I haven't tried Sedona Blue, but some of my favorite scents are made by Keiko Mecheri. (I actually like her regular lineup a lot better than her Bespoke line.)

It honestly didn't last that long, and it just smelled like OJ on my wrist. My wife's was pretty nice though! When I ordered from Min NY I could request samples so I just told them to add 3 work-appropriate scents for a woman which arrived today. They included 2 Keiko Mecheri's and The Vagabond Prince Enchanted Forest.

Yeah, Orange Sanguine makes me smell like I've just cut open an orange and some of the juice landed on my wrist.

I'm actually wearing a Keiko Mecheri now. It is Johana, which I've really come to appreciate a lot, even though I wasn't nuts about it at first.

Creed MI. I really don't get the hype about this at all. It's really light and completely gone in 3 hours.

Switched up since the MI was long gone and went with Coeur de Vetiver Sacre.

I've gotta say, I don't understand the appeal of MI either. I am actually glad its longevity is so poor because it smells bad to me. (I feel the same way about Tabarome.)
