...it would have been made for Satan himself, and it would have been called Love in White.

Wow, Satan's fragrance is better than Jesus'! Who would have thought? I am learning so much on S/FOTDT.

It was cold this morning, so I went with Amber Absolute. Since it's all but unwearable in the summertime.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine wearing that one in the heat. Yikes! vintage Moustache for me today. This is a weird one, but very neat. Starts off almost like a chypre (think old-school Chanel PM), then becomes a little spicy, with a hint of PdN New York/ Boid dP, then finishes off a rather classic fougere with all the lavender/mossy goodness. It's also something like Mouchoir de Monsieur, only I don't believe there is any civet in the Moustache. SO, think Mouchoir, minus the baby poop. Definitely recommended if you don't want a linear development as it goes along, and something a little "old fashioned." I've HEARD the recent formulations cut out some of the funk/spice and inserted more citrus, which would be a shame. As it is, it has that lovely Roudnitska (of eau d'hermes fame) slight funk beneath a rather classic facade. It's also in the same universe as, but I find more refined/less sharp than Eau Sauvage (another Roudnitska creation) Vintage juice, though, is very cheap on the interwebz.

^^ I may consider having a go at that once I pare back the herd and get through this no-buy that Dane tricked me into. Although I do have to say that it's been interesting to force myself out of the old routines and use the bottles I hardly think about these days. I think a few former keepers will get banished, and a few neglected ones might get back into the spotlight.

Not quite 500, but Bois des Iles has 33 reviews, and only 1 neutral! Meh.

Wearing Missoni Arancio...surprisingly durable.

Today I'm wearing a fragrance called Womanity. I think it's the most popular fragrance on SOTD.

Yeah, what is this? I was at Saks just ******* around with some Creed Vetiver and the next thing some old hag is going off on me about JFK and Jackio O.

I always retort to them that truly important individuals like J-Lo wear Silver Mtn Water. Then I ***** about the Ambergris drydown of the Millesimes, to which the SA pulls out a chart trying to argue to the contrary.
