Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

[edinatlanta]

I went to Sephora today. Smelled a ton. I had been wanting to smell more the Maison Margiela Replicas and I think I went through the entire line. Thought I would like Sailing Day but nope, no way. There was a harshness to it that was almost repulsive. Beach walk was very good but far too similar to my other beach-y fragrance (The Beach from phoenix artisan accoutrements). Lazy Sunday was great but I was like yeah I would literally only wear this on a--well, lazy sunday. I also was not sure I wanted to smell like that but I enjoyed the smell. No Barber Shop which I really wanted to smell and the springtime in the park or whatever it is was very nice but again not something I wanted to smell like. I really liked the bubble bath one but I thought it was maybe too feminine. I was honestly kinda bummed i didn't want to buy any of them.

I narrowed it down to H24 and Terre d'Hermes. Preferred the latter but I have a ton of woody fragrances. Really liked H24 but I thought there was something a bit too fruity to it. Not sure why I didn't pull the trigger,

Oud Wood was excellent but not something I'd wear for a few months so I passed.

I went through the entire Clean line and there were some that sounded incredibly appealing by description but...just didn't work. I liked the Neroli but it smelled too much like Mandarino d'Amalfi that I was wearing.

This one was fantastic: maybe because it was the first I smelled? I think I have too many floral fragrances but it was a good price and really evocative. I didn't buy it. I think I was tired of trying to decide which bottle to get and I just walked out.

Wearing Great Britain by Roja Dove. A nice creamy take on the russian leather genre.

Was it @patrickBOOTH sho mentioned alexandria fragrances? Which ines did you like/do you remember any of their notes

Yeah, they are cheap as nuts. one thing I didn't know about them, is they are a dupe house. So they basically copy more expensive fragrances. Had I known this at the time I wouldn't have bothered with them tbh.

If you guys had to recommend one scent (multi-purpose/all season if such a thing exists)

What would it be and why?

I've been using Terre D'Hermes (my better half buys it for me) for a long time, and maybe it's time for a change??

Acqua di Gio Profumo it is a nice aquatic and soft floral fragrance. I don't know that it is special but I like it. Worth a sample, I suppose.

Christian Dior Bois d'Argent because I love it and think it's really versatile. It's also not terribly common here in the States.
