Sotd next eau nude I think

UnnecessaryFennel · 20/06/2018 10:03

SOTD is Tobacco Rose. Really enjoy this as a spicy rose but get absolutely no tobacco, which is a darned shame.

3DSpex · 20/06/2018 10:16

Morning all. Another name change - think I'm going to stick to names with '3' in them from now on to avoid confusion).

SOTD is Annick Goutal Quel Amour. I rarely wear this, but I do love it. The sour-sweet freshness of the flowers in this one is beautiful. Very strong, though. Two sprays is enough to get you through the entire day.

I've managed to ebay about a third of my perfume in the last few weeks, so am thinking I deserve one FB of something lovely. I'm swaying towards Serge Lutens Fille de Berlin, as I am bereft since and JP Joy for a very long time. And the sensible bit of my brain (tiny bit!) is thinking I should get something that'll see me through the colder months.

Any other recommendations for a floral that works in cold weather?

3DSpex · 20/06/2018 10:17

that should have said bereft since draining my sample of Fille de Berlin

3DSpex · 20/06/2018 10:18

OH god...and should have said I have been promising myself FBs of JP Joy and/or Fracas for a long time. Don't know what happened there!

PlausibleSuit · 20/06/2018 10:38

SOTD Narciso Rodriguez Narciso EdT. At the moment it's rose, wood and tyre rubber. In a good way.

BlueKittens · 20/06/2018 11:39

L’Artisan Skin on Skin again today

Hope everyone has good days today Grin

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 20/06/2018 11:58

My samples came today!

SOTD Sexiest Scent on The Planet

Not sure I agree Grin

CoconutAmericano · 20/06/2018 12:20

Im a bit late to the party but if anyone else happens to be visiting Dublin we have a fabulous niche perfume shop here called Perfumarjia (sp) in the Westbury mall off grafton st. It really is a treasure and worth a nose! Ive only bought Molecule One and POAL here but they have so many niche fragrances..

ThenCameTheFools · 20/06/2018 12:35

I am sorting out papers today and am wearing Liz Earle n1. Trying to decide which of LE1, Jade or Eau du Sud to bring to the UK as my crisp citrus. LE1 is in a smaller bottle...but I have a sentimental attachment to Jade + UK as I was there 3 years ago when I first discovered it.

There, I've answered my own question haven't I?

mrsreynolds · 20/06/2018 12:41

Mrstark...its one of my faves but no....im not sure it's the sexiest.
It's comforting and subtle

BlueKittens · 20/06/2018 14:16

Yep Sexiest scent definitely isn’t sexy but it is lush!

Coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz · 20/06/2018 15:42

Sexiest scent becomes very subtle on me very quickly but I do enjoy it. I’ve never tried the extrait.
I tried Dior addict today at the local department store: my first go with Dior and I’m hooked. Comforting, vanillary goodness. Can’t believe It’s taken me so long to try Dior! This could prove expensive

mrsreynolds · 20/06/2018 16:29

Ah addict!.....a very apt name imo

PlausibleSuit · 20/06/2018 17:04

I occasionally have to be forcibly removed from Dior. Eau Sauvage, Gris Montaigne, Granville, Diorella... perfection. I had a little of the much-missed Midnight Poison, for a while.

I've fallen for Narciso. The rose has softened and it's gone a little musky, although it's a polite sort of musk. I'm sure there's a little vetiver, or at least something rooty or green, in there. It's lasted very well for an EdT.

mrsreynolds · 20/06/2018 17:11

Narciso rodriguez is gorgeous
I adore poudre

PlausibleSuit · 20/06/2018 17:54

Narciso rodriguez is gorgeous
It really is. It's my first NR, won't be my last.

mrsreynolds · 20/06/2018 17:59

Try poudre!!!!!

TeenyFloofyKittensMakeMeCry · 20/06/2018 18:18

Ooh ooh NR talk! I'm still looking longingly at their new Rouge, I have a tester strip (was it a mouliette? Grin) in my handbag from last Friday and it smells lush in there today

Then all the Jade love here wasn't three years ago was it?? how long have we had these threads now? I think I've been on since the first in various incarnations, on that note 3 thank you for keeping a NC reference so as not to confuse us Smile

Coconut that sounds lovely, Grafton Street and perfume

Hope everyone's days have been better Thanks and Brew bit crappy here too, unfortunately the hospital have summoned me back, hopefully just via out patients and not as a guest Hmmbut I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly worried, plus very stressful exams seem to be going forever in this house. Roll on next week. How's MiniSock's going sock and any others? Are they finished yet?

PlausibleSuit · 20/06/2018 20:17

Sorry you haven't had the best day, Floofy. Flowers and Brew

I clocked NR Rouge! So scarlet, I love it. The last red-themed one I had was Giorgio Beverly Hills Red, which, on me, came across a bit Tom-Selleck-impersonator-regional-finalist. Did not love.

Clearly NR Rouge is a totally different beast and I need to try it now. Along with Poudree. Honestly, I haven't been so impressed with a new fragrance since, ooh, Saturday (Cartier La Panthere, also tres marv ).

OCSock · 20/06/2018 20:19

SoTD has been (fanfare)... vinegar. I can now see out of all the windows.

SockJr finishes on Friday morning (C4 maths and the paper is likely to be a complete b*gger) but he plans to be in the local Wetherspoons by 11.15.

Your fragrant journeys all sound better than mine today. Tomorrow however...

BlueKittens · 20/06/2018 20:25

I like Narciso Rodriguez too. My favourite is Poudre and I would really like a FB. I was also impressed by the new rouge. Don’t care for fleur musc mind. I absolutely love their bottles.

Sote is Miller Harris Noix de Tubereuse. Warming Vanilla and Tuberose. A good fragrance for snuggling up on the sofa with mn and a book

Judydreamsofhorses · 20/06/2018 20:27

SOTD is L’Air de Rien. It’s like October here today.

Hope you’re okay, floofy.

BlueKittens · 20/06/2018 20:30

Two bits of fragrance news spotted on social media today

4160 Tuesdays are going to start micro investments a bit like Brewdog apparently

I Scent you a day has positively reviewed the new niche Perfume house ‘Rook’ and compares the Amber one to a Tauer. They are on offer and they offer a discovery pack for just £9.
