Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

Vintage Fidji de Guy Laroche parfum/extrait tonight for going out.

This one was a major trendsetter back in the 1960's... a fresh, green, crisp floral with a hint of spice and aldehydes. I expected much more sillage, but it's quite subdued. Very unique, and unfortunately not available in this concentration anymore.

Was in the mood for drinks so went with Frapin 1270, well, TGIF

Creed Fantasia de Fleurs today. This one was designed especially for AWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Bockwinkel, who wore it in lieu of a championship belt from 1975 to 1980 and then again in 1982.

This is a beautiful old-fashioned floral. Rich and heady, featuring a gorgeous rose note complemented by a somewhat indolic jasmine. I'm liking this one a lot so far.

Never heard of that one before.

Yesterday - the new Dipqtyque 34 St. Germain. Actually rather nice. A bit of spice and fruit. Longevity wasn't great but it was humid as **** last night.

$60 for 8X1ml samples? jeez oh pete that's some scratch for samples. Back in my day (when we walked both ways to the parfumery uphill in the snow), samples' wuz free!
Never heard of Krigler. Good stuff?

Raining today, so I'm going with Kiehl's musk.

I hadn't heard of them either until BillyD did a split last month. Whodini got in on it and seemed impressed. The bottles run $250 and up so I sure as **** hope they're good. I would buy the sample set if they were bigger. They run $7 per sample on the site. That's a bit nuts for me.

Today I had 2 scents - First: L'Artisan Coeur de Vetiver - stinky vetiver, kind of reminds me of sel de vetiver. did not like.

Then, while I was at the mall, I managed to snag a few sprays of Creed Royal Oud - it pains me to say this, literally, but I might actually like this one. ****, what's the world coming to?

Been hearing that it's actually something special. At $300 for 2 oz, it'd better be. Freaking liquid gold.

I'm withholding judgment until I find out which statesman or celebrity it was designed for. If it was designed specifically for Captain Stubing, I'm in for sure.

I'm wearing Jo Malone Rose Water and Vanilla today. In my experience, the names of the Jo Malone fragrances tell you exactly what you can expect. I wish that were true of this one. I get three notes competing for my attention: orange blossom, vanilla, and oud. I was not expecting orange blossom and oud. If there were a more prominent rose, I think I'd like it a lot better. As it is, it's just too sweet.

 

[Rambo]

I think Captain Beefheart is much more likely.

I still have yet to find a Jo Malone frag I like.

Odori Iris today.
Iris, herbs, vanilla, amber, clean and dry.

Never heard of that line. Link? What do you think of it?

I had a sample of Odori Spigo - big, medicinal Lavender. Not bad, but not bottle worthy.
