Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

[Maquis]

Yesterday: Portrait of a Lady. Today: Armani Privé Bois d'Encens.

I received about half of my decants yesterday, so I'm going to be slowly working through them over the next few weeks. (I also picked up a couple Hermessance samples —Vetiver Tonka & Poivre Samarcand—and checked out Jour d'Hermes as well.)

On wearing PoaL I found it to be a gorgeous, busty, jammy & citric rose with the patchouli beautifully balanced. Symphonic; it reminded me of Amouage Homage in it's depth and scope. I *love* smelling this stuff, but I'm not sure if I can wear it—overall it seemed disembodied, like it wasn't part of me but instead just laying on top of my skin.

Bois d'Encens: Smooth, dry, frankincense smoke in a freshly cut super-resinous cedar trunk. Back in the mid 90s, I would buy those bubbly chunks of frankincense and burn them with abandon. My house probably smelled like a head shop (not too far from the reality at the time! ) so it brings back, uh, interesting memories....

SOTD: Montale Aoud Blossom

This evening: Parfums Regence Oak Moss - very "Guerlinade" in its qualities with a LOT of stank.

Today I felt like something different so I dug out the decant of Divine L'Homme Sage. Very satisfying.

SOTD: Etat Libre D'Orange - Afternoon of a Faun

I needed something warm and comfortable so I put on Balenciaga Pour Homme.

Decided for Lys Méditerranée. Spring feelings in the middle of December. Great fragrance.

Mitsouko Parfum. For some reason this is reminding me of Derby today - I've never had that reaction before but I suppose it makes sense.

Interesting. What kind of stank?

Today: Ormonde Man. After wearing Bois d'Encens yesterday, I'm recognizing the woody evergreen accord as clear as a bell...

Just bought Tom Ford's neroli portofino. Great scent, and a good amber base which is somewhat similar to prada's amber.

Long lasting, too, contrary to many reviews.

Interesting. What kind of stank?

Either civet or castoreum, or both.

Creed GIT.

Parure for me today. It's a comfort scent for what has turned out to be a really awful day. (Bad news about my cat's health.)

Sorry, bro, I hope whatever it is passes.
