Innocent Dave is not here, it's just the friendly perfumistas thread no 19!

[CountFosco]

New thread!

Old thread here.

Post here for all perfumista chat and complex Venn diagrams. Dave went that way -->

Yes Paris 1948 is a chypre ( and a divine one!) but I was just naming the peachy things.

Paris1948 does have a peach top note I think.

SotD Rosarium. Interesting not too sweet incense.

A nuclear one. Usually dampen down a bit with Empreinte. Best suede chypre ever.

Hello I'm a lurker. I had a brief cameo on the last thread, when I discovered YSL Manifesto L'élixir. Wore it yesterday and had a compliment.

Now I'm mostly revelling in my new Narciso (the white cube) which I bought in a whopping bargain 150ml bottle of edp from allbeauty which I spotted after reading Luca Turin, or 4160 Tuesdays Oriane. Oriane is v grown-up baby lotion.

Good description of Orianne!

SOTD was Chloe Nomade

Philosykoss Another kiss by the fireside, Who Knew and Doe is the Snow for light relief.

SotD is Elizabeth and James Nirvana, like lying in a barrel of bourbon with a hefty wallop of tuberose.

Wow Mop - what a great shop, bet that was a wonderful discovery?

Welcome back Fanny. I like Orianne too but it has yet to feature as scent of the week! (Perhaps it's all gone?).

Just had a look at the Sidmouth shop - looks wonderful. I would buy Grossmith's Shem-el-Nessim or Phul-Nana if I could afford them. I had tiny samples once from Bloom.

I've been trying to decide which scent to take to hospital next week and I think Orianne is the one.

If I win the lottery, I'm planning to go to that shop again 😁

SOTD Etui Noir. It's not feeling right.

SotD Noel au Balcon.

i have hyper sensitive sense of smell - get headaches etc etc
but love the idea of the persume making afternoon.... sigh... Mrs

Fennel there is something in etu noir i can't place.... or maybe i am jsut vaguely remembering someone who wears it? WHO KNOWS?!

SOTD Rive Gauche, which was possibly a bit too chilly for a cold day. Yesterday was JHAG Mad Madame.

DP told me the other day that our cat smelled of Chanel 19, so I think she should be an honourary perfumista.

The iris in Etui Noir makes that a tad chilly too Fennel?

Put me down for some Shem-el-Nessim too Fanny .

You want a day Mrsr8 - rather than an afternoon. Seriously! You're giving me nostalgic flashbacks to the Vipers' Outing - was that really 2017?

And welcome back Pesty! We've missed you . By coincidence SotD was Black Sheep. Would you recommend Nirvanna?

My cat smells 'fruity' in the way I imagine Sarah Mc meant when she described her take on the smell of monkeys in her interview with Victor Wong (about her Macaque).

Thank you Calm .

Yes, it was chilly - standoffish and metallic. Completely wrong for yesterday and annoyed me all day

SOTD is au coeur de desert - the opposite of chilly!

revealing quite how cheap my tastes actually are SOTD Ted Baker prob for teenage boys not men but there is something about this i love....

MrsL Nirvana smells like what we imagined Atkinsons Pirates would. Extremely boozy, well worth getting a 10ml roller ball but not a FB.

If you stopped doing bad things Mrs8 , you could afford it save up, it is worth it. Just absorbing all that knowledge and smelling everything with guidance.

We had quite a love of cheap here Kalifornia , a good smelling bargain is welcome.

Iris is a weird one, some days I love it and other days nah.

LADDM is bliss in a bottle mrsr8
