For my eveningtime fragrance, I am wearing a fragrance of which is called Secretions Magnifiques. It's by Etat Libre d'Orange.


Ewwww, NASTY!!!!!!!

Last night I wore Oak Moss, by Parfums Regence. They are the same ones who make Kolnisch Juchten.

Have you tried Secretions Magnifiques?

Pre-shower: Terre d'Hermes. Even though I don't wear this a lot anymore, this is the fragrance I have worn the most of over the course of my lifetime. (Also, this fragrance is associated with lots of good memories. Probably my happiest time was in 2007, and I was wearing TdH a lot then.)
SOTD: Nuit de Tubereuse. At first I was a little disappointed with this, mainly because of all the sharp pepper at the top, but now I'm coming to like it quite a bit. It's strange how that can happen.

I tried it on a blotter, but I sure as hell didn't put it on my skin. I was being overdramatic, by the way. I do, though, find the sour, sharp, metallic quality of Secretions to be impossible to get over.

I don't actually wear Secretions Magnifiques when I go out in public. (I used to, though, and even received compliments!) But yeah, it's not exactly pleasant.

Today: Guerlain Derby - I don't remember what the old formulation was like, but damn this new stuff is amazing.

I won this on eBay yesterday.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Her...-/281134191838?ssPageName=ADME:L:NCCB:US:1123

The seller immmediately cancelled the transaction because he can't ship to the USA. I'm kicking myself that I didn't think of you guys first. If I can talk him into it, would one of the USA members like to give me an address he can ship it to, and you reimburse me the cost. It looks like a steal for one of you.

Today I am wearing Narciso Rodriguez For Him. Two tiny squirts to the neck and it is just barrelling along. For the price, incredible bang for buck.

A lady friend of mine was toting For Her when we went out last night, and I quite like that one too (which was my reminder to wear For Him today).

Hey has anyone set their minds to wonderin' what I'm wearing as my eveningtime scent it is Memo Granada. It's a sweet white floral, with orange blossom taking the lead. (I see that others describe jasmine as the most prominent floral note. I don't smell it that way, to be honest.)

I'm a fan of all the Memo scents I've tried so far.

Also, Etat Libre d'Orange announced that they'll be releasing a new fragrance called La Fin du Monde, in October I think. It will smell like popcorn.

Pre-shower: Black Orchid. I got my bottle of this on January 17, 2009. (If that ever appears on Jeopardy, you will know the answer now.)
SOTD: Noel au Balcon. Seasonally inappropriate, obviously, but it's a great scent. Definitely one of my favorite gourmands.

Giving ELDO Fat Electrician another shot today. Still not a fan of the rubbery smell at the start.
