Today: Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte
Tomorrow it'll probably be CDG Series 6 Synthetic: Soda

I was planning on wearing Tauer's Orris for a test-drive and subsequent review, but completely forgot to put anything on. Instead I'll seek out something else - maybe Lauder for Men or some such over lunch.

 

[Dane]

Bois de Violette.

 

[Thomas]

Okay, Lauder for Men. Not bad thus far, smells better than the price would indicate, although it's an 80's scent through and through.

 

[Big Pun]

Adidas Victory League. Very good for the price.

I'm wearing Nichole Miller. Sprayed about an hour ago, and it's really developed. Really good smell at the spray, but now developed a more mellow, more complex smell. This stuff is really nice. Me likey.

 

[Thomas]

Today: Tauer Orris. It's not very flowery, though. It comes roaring at you all dry woods and fiery incense, with a bit of iris underneath it all. Full, expansive, I think this might be natural iris root and not the synthetic. It's unsettling to have Iris being this assertive.

 

[Big Pun]

YSL Live Jazz

Creed GIT

Last time I wore it, it wore off in one hour. Today Im going on 9 hours and I haven't done anything different. Actually I went to the gym for one hour. But still...iiiinteresting.

This will sound kinda dumb, but if you hydrate your skin daily with a non-scented lotion or moisturizer... you'll get much better longevity from your fragrances.

Some people find Creed to be very fleeting, but I find that they just tend to become very subtle and don't project like a lot of synthetic, cheaper fragrances. Creed won't knock you down.

Nevertheless, some become VERY subtle to the point of being almost imperceptible. As such, some moisturizer daily will help a lot.

Yesterday: CDG Soda + CDG Soda
Today: Carolina Herrera 212

 

[SoleBajan]

Today is a Burberry day. Wore the original yesterday, feeling London today.

 

[Dane]

Another tip to make stuff last longer - spray on your forearm. Hair follicles hold scent longer.

L'Artisan Verte Violette for me today.

Interesting... I never tried that one. Is that a new one? About 4-5 years ago I started a big L'a P kick and probably went through 15 different ones until stopping a year or so back. My favorite is still probably Timbuktu, though Dzongkha had a weird stoniness that I loved. The only one I never really warmed up to much was Passade d'enfer and Poivre Piquant, though strangely enough that was one that got more compliments than any other scent I ever wore. Wet and yucky weather, so Shalimar for me today.

How's the Soda? Also does 212 smell like the Herrera store (if you've ever been in one)? I have a CH candle that smells like that and it's nice, would be interested to see how it is in perfume form. Not terribly impressed with my sample of JV: Artisan. I guess I wanted it to be more citrus and less blossomy. Also, sillage doesn't seem as good as the other scents.
