Scent of the Day

[Tulipsareredvioletsarebue]

I think there was one a few months/weeks back but can't find it, so apologies if doubling up.
What perfume are you wearing today?
I will wear Atelier Cologne Trefle Pur in hope it will actually be warm today.

I didn't enjoy any of the Sana Jardin Samples. I liked one but it didn't like me, it felt very irratating very quick.
Nothing for me yet, I am so busy in work since I woke up (working from home) . I don't feel anything other then my time for rest scent - Ambre Vanille Laura Mercier.

@MiaN out of the 3 I've tried the only one I liked is Berber Blonde, but that smells similar but not quite as nice as another perfume I regularly wear in summer and have a full bottle of (Lumiere Doreé, Miller Harris )

That's my winter perfumes collection after declutter and some new purchases/advent calendar keepers. It feels complete. Few words for each starting from front left. Now I need to stop buying and just enjoy what I have more.

Atalia - My current favourite, fancy yoga retreat scent.
Gris Charnel - Worth the hype. Milky, spicy, comforting tea.
Lira - Perfect citrus gourmand.
Burning Cherry - Smokey winter cherry.
Ginger Biscuit - The gourmand that won't give me diabetes.
Gold & Colette - Gypsy Water wannabe, great for the office.
This is her - I don't know if you are me tbh, but I will keep you around for some more time.
Santal 33 - Some days you just need to smell like pickle. Well.. you don't really but I may like to.
Jazz club - Getting to know it.
Witchy Woo - When you feel so cool, it's spooky how cool you feel!
Vanille Leather - Grown up vanilla, so elegant.
Queen of the night - Date night out.
Babylon - Love you but when we are done, we will be done - you don't last long!
L'interdit intense, rouge and ultime - I don't need 3 of you but not ready to let go yet.
Orange Sanguine, Orange Bitters - Fresh sweet orange, great for dance class Myth - one for the gym.
Find comfort body mist and perfume - who does not need comfort during the winter?
Ambre Vanille - Bedtime cozy & sweet coconut, almond vanilla scent
Acne Studios - The perfect clean and fresh perfume. It starts like a laundry vibe but settles to beautiful soft clean scent, by far the nicest I have tried.

Xerjoff 40 Knots for me today. One tiny spray and wow, hit with a powerful baby powder smell, which settles into a comforting amber/baby powder combo. it's not bad but it's not the one, especially for the price

Interested in the Gris Chanel, sounds lovely.

Scent of the day Gris Charnel. I wish it's longer lasting but tried Gris Charnel Extrait and I didn't like it - it's not stronger version of the original. It's different less sweet & more masculine and smokey scent.

I hate it when the stronger versions aren't the same. Had another spritz of mojave ghost absolu yesterday in a store and it's definitely got a sweeter fruitier note that I'm not sure about. Rethinking getting a bottle for Xmas. Why couldn't they just keep it the same as the original?

Seen some Gris Charnel larger size samples on ebay. Tempted to try.

SOTD is Hera Reigns again
Office day so can't be too avant garde. Also doing some training with people I've not met before. Hopefully it fades before then.

Bargains galore with the GF deals.. not sure I need anything else tho.

Slightly off topic but looking for suggestions/recommendations i literally have perfume coming out of my perfume so don't actually NEED more however I'm realising I very much prefer oriental floral type scents to any other process of life long elimination however I very much do not like vanilla dominating scents. I have black orchid and gucci floral orchid just wondering if any if u hive mind ladies could recommend me others I could make look to sample or search for on perfume parlour

Right on topic but I don't have many recommendations. One range I like is Givenchy L'interdit and they are oriental floral. Rouge or Rouge Ultime are great. I don't like the absolu at all.

Thank you i think I have some of the L'interdit range in my vast sample stash I shall dig them out and see which I have and which I feel match my new found floral/oriental pelreference

Floral Street Ylang Ylang Espresso may be worth a shot?

@MiaN may be interested to hear that I've purchased a sample of the Gris Charnel off ebay - let's see if I like it as much as she does!

Nest madagascar vanilla this morning. Cosy and warm coconutty vanilla on this grey rainy day. Will use Penhaligons halfeti for after post gym shower but it's one of those fragrances that lasts for DAYS especially if I get it on clothes, so I need to be in the mood for it.

@Realdeal1 sorry no help with your tf tuberous request but lucky friend! You're right it could be an expensive mistake so perhaps a sample set instead?

@Mackemlass79 You could play around with this - https://www.fragrantica.com/ingredients-search/

I put in floral and oriental and no vanilla and it suggests More than words Xerjoff, but you might want to get more specific

While I definitely had some viral infection, fortunately it wasn’t Covid. Sense of smell is still not right, but better than two days ago, so I decided to try something today. SOTD is Elie Saab Essence No. 1 Rose. This is a discontinued fragrance by Francis Kurkdjian. It’s a rich, dark and spicy rose that I would highly recommend to Rose perfume lovers. Currently available for an absolutely bargainous £48 on Look Incredible.

@MiaN @IDontHateRainbows I’m a big fan of Gris Charnel too. And agree with @MiaN that the Extrait is much more masculine somehow and not nearly as good.

Debating whether to cancel the Mojave Ghost Absolu order. It's the most I've ever spent on a perfume by fat ( ok, DH paying but I don't want to get something that's not worth it). If only they did smaller bottles.

I'm usually quite fickle/ changeable, all the scents I loved last year I'm just met about now.

Then again I do love the original MG , if only it were longer lasting.

Maybe I'll try and get hold of a 2ml Sample of the Absolu, not cheap on ebay tho! I can probably send the big bottle back if I then decide it's not right.

Just feels so extravagant spending £160 on one scent.

The other idea is to send it back to HN and order it from Space Nk who do accept returns of opened goods, for credit, if it turns out to be a mistake.

Still on funfair evening!

It's a scent that sometimes I really love and other times the anise is way too much for me but while I'm enjoying it, I'm wearing it

I'm trying out Molecule Black Tea today, not a huge fan of the Molecule 1 but I like the Patchouli and Mandarin versions. This smelt lovely at first, then like a strong cup of PG tips, now back to very nice and subtle.

Just bought a kayali discovery set with 25% off plus I had some credit on cult beauty, so I'm pleased with that. Looking forward to testing out vanilla 28, burning cherry and pistachio gelato in particular

I've just bought one of my own Christmas presents Nasomotto Baraonda. It's like Angel's Share on steroids, whiskey, rose and amber with vanilla On first spray it smells of my mother's kitchen at Christmas. Yum!

Scent of the evening is the original mojave ghost, body lotion plus sample spray. This may be my new bedtime scent given it wears off so soon I will probably be asleep by then.

The kayali discovery set and vanilla dreams set are on their way, with Evri. Hoping it arrives tomorrow.

It's nice to see other people have evening scents!
I WFH so exercise then shower after work and it seems natural to then put perfume on so I "wear" it technically to bed every night

Xerjoff Erba Pura today - there is something really chemical and pungent in this perfume, similar to Mezinsir Ambre Magique, it just chokes me up. Maybe it's the synthetic musk
