What Thomas said...only in Dior boutiques (also for sale on their site btw).

Leather Oud is nice...you might actually like Thomas as you have a thing for Le Labo's.

Keep in mind that Montale has two oud-leathers...Aoud Leather (bad) and Oud Cuir d'Arabie (good).

Wearing New Look 1947 today...beautiful...girly...but I'm still going to wear it.

Guerlain Heritage (it's cold enough in NYC to warrant it . . .)

TF Black Orchid. I should really wear this more. I think I sometimes neglect the fragrances I have full bottles of because I'm having fun trying samples. I bought the full bottles for a reason!

Got in my box from Aedes so its sample time!!!

First up - Amouage Dia - holy **** this is potent. Its so ******* strong that its masking all but one scent and I can't really make out what that is. Despite that, its smells really good.

Went with Tobacco Vanille today. I had previously decided that I didn't like it for being too feminine, but now it's starting to grow on me. The honey/tobacco reminds me of By Kilian Back to Black, though BtB is pretty linear, whereas in TV, the honey seems stronger in the opening and the tobacco seems to emerge later.

I find it rather demure?? Oh wait...women's or men's? Women's...yes, strong. Men's, not so much.

Testing Dior Mitzah today. Good alternative to Ambre Sultan.

^^ +1. I found the men's Dia rather... dull? I'm sure there was a lot going on but somehow it was just completely uninspiring.

If that's the one I think it was...it reminded me of a cross between PdN Baladin and EL Azuree, but properly-balanced and not blaringly loud.

Pretty sure it was the men's but not positive as its not specifically labeled either way.

It wasn't dull so much as it was...

This. Also, fixed for accuracy.
