Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

[CalTex]



Houbigant Fougere Royale to test today

what do you think about it?

I have it, and I think its okay.

I really like terre d'hermes though, need to buy another bottle soon

 

[Rambo]



Wow, thanks for the heads up on Amber Absolute. It seems like that scent should have broad appeal; I'm surprised it's not selling well enough to keep in the lineup. I'm not as surprised about Purple Patchouli and Velvet Gardenia: those aren't "easy" scents. But AA?

AA didn't sell for **** down here. WAY too cloying for anything above 60 degrees. 90+? No way.

 

[Baron]

Just your typical 80 degree January day in LA, and I'm wearing Declaration.

Last two days Kilian - Incense Oud.

Today Malle - En Passant. Kind of a herbal/peppery fresh scent.

As I understood it, it became too expensive to make. Kind of understandable, I guess, but given their price point - REALLY? SRSLY?

After a day of wearing it I'd say the top notes are too much for me, but as it wears on I really do like it.

I think I need a better method of applying samples, how do you guys apply samples?

By comparison, Tom Ford Private Blend are pretty reasonable.
BTW: I heard it on the grapevine that Amber Absolute is being discontinued. I am sorely tempted to get a flacon of this, or at least find a split.

I'd buy into a split

I heard the same thing about AA too actually... PM me and we'll talk numbers since I may be able to help you guys out there...

I heard the same thing. Speaking of which, anyone know when Lavender Palm is going to be introduced? Its almost Feb for ***** sake.

1. Eh, I've smelled it a few times and you're not missing out... personally I think it's pretty boring.
2. I think Neiman's had the exclusive for quite a while and we just got it a few days ago here in Canada/Toronto.

I tried it on paper in December at Neiman Marcus. The top-notes somehow reminded me of Sprite of all things. I wonder if you or anyone else got that out of it? It seemed to be getting better, but the top notes were a real turn-off for me.
Today, Ambre Narguille

I've been really excited to try Lavender Palm, but the bottles I've seen have been absurdly expensive. The perfumer is Yann Vasnier, who did the Divines that I love so much (L'Ame Soeur, L'Inspiratrice, Divine).

I've heard hot and cold about Lavender Palm. If Vasnier did it, then I'm curious - really curious.

Amouage Epic Man today

 

[L'Incandescent]

Dior Eau Noire. This one is fun to wear. Lavender with immortelle, which smells like curry-infused maple syrup.

 

[HORNS]

Tuberose Criminelle today.

Penhaligon's - Opus 1870.
