Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

You can't not like L'Autre!

O, HAI!

I put on the sample of the Hermessence Poivre Samarcande and it just pissed me off because all I get is a severely stripped-down Terre d'Hermes.

That's interesting, I don't get a strong TdH vibe from Poivre Samarcande. Maybe it's because the notes that really jump out to me in TdH--cedar especially--are the ones I don't like, and those aren't in Poivre Samarcande.

O, HAI!

Oh, hey there! You must be chiming in to register your agreement!

Fico D'Amalfi testing today. First time trying out a citrusy fig scent, got a sample from Barneys after I told the lady that I really liked it. It's definitely a more unisex smell and isn't very overpowering, not sure if I like it because it's different and I'm not sure to it or that it's a great scent.

Today: Eau Illuminee by Parfums DelRae, which is a local (San Francisco) perfumer who makes lovely complex scents with not IFRA restrictions. This particular perfume is a lovely citrusy fougere in the same vein as Chanel Pour Monsieur (not the Concentree one) and has that beautiful rich, herbaceous, earthy, but all light-handed drydown.

Funny you mention that, today it's grey, cool, and rainy so I ended up in Chanel Pour Monsieur. Just now, today, I've found this apple-peel twist that seems to run through all phases of development.

Went to Hermes this weekend and sniffed the Hermescence collection and must say that I wasn't too impressed. They gave me a sample of each to try, though. You guys were talking about the Vetiver Tonka but I like, so far, the Poivre Samarcande.
For those floral lovers out there, have you guys tried Elie Saab Perfume? That's got to be one of the prettiest jasmine/white florals out there.

Give Rose Ikebana a full wear.
IIRC, I liked Poivre Samarcande, too. What's your opinion on Santal Massoia?

Don't quite know yet. I'm going to do a multi-quadrant application tonight and see.

I realized that I don't have a sample of the Santal Massoia. And here I thought I was living up to the name my wife gave me: Sample Bandit.

I'm re-wearing the Vetiver Tonka on my left wrist and Iris Ukiyoe on my right. The latter really smells "purple" to me.

I can't believe the price they put on this line from Hermes.

I can't believe the price they put on anything from Hermes.

Today: Satori Iris Homme

I am wearing the lovely Guerlain Parure today. It's a little reward to myself, since I had a very productive day of writing yesterday.

Today: because it's another grey cool rainy day, and I've been up for 12 hours already...I went with CDG Avignon.

Then a package arrived in the mail with an old bottle of Brooks Brothers Sandalwood cologne. So I applied that as well. Not great, but decent enough and cheap as hell.

Vetiver Tonka from Hermes today. Forgot to put anything on before I left the house so I picked something once I got to work.

First time A*Men. I don't *love* it, but it's pretty nice! Fantastic longevity, too.
