Scent of the day part 10, the friendly perfumistas are spritzing again!

[IDontHateRainbows]

Shiny new thread just in time for the new season - I'm thinking smoky, spicy gourmands as we head through autumn.

I’m wearing Vilhelm Faces of Francis from Liberty 24, really love this one!

I'm wearing the Bibbi from the Harrods scent tote. I'm not a big fan of bibbi scents but I'm really loving this one. It feels like a late sunshine to me so it's perfect for sunny autumn days 🧡

I love that one too. My DS really likes it. I had two travel sizes and he talked me into giving it to him.

Original Debaser for me today. I'm still in Greece and its a hot one today so it works

Phlur father figure. Ok but dries down a bit too powdery.

Thanks everyone. Ive git some new ideas now to work out.

I really like the JL stackables.

Today wearing PdM Delina. The sun is out.

I used to love powdery scents such as La Vie est Belle and Flowerbomb but Im leaning more towards clean and fresh scents these days, flowery but light, woody etc..

I absolutely despise Bibbi. Im bummed out every time they put it in an Advent, box, edit whatever.

Same with DS & Durga.

I dont know what it is with these houses that I cannot stand. They are so offensive to my nose. Not wanting to insult anyone as people experience smells differently. Maybe its my skin

Add fugazzi for me. I am not overly keen on born to stand out either.

From the 4 brands there is one perfume I like - rose Atlantic.

Cra-yon Sand Service. Interesting but so far too reminiscent of an elastic band for me!!

Ah yes, another house thats not for me. I find all 3 houses very similar as well. All 3 I dislike necause of the same reasons. I find it has a strong herbal scent almost chemical and it just goes straight up the nostrils without warning. Im not good in describing perfumes. But its an instant recoil.

I have no experience with Borntostandout yet. Although the reviews of Golden Milk makes me dread trying it in the Harrods frag I bagged.

Yesterday’s ‘advent’ offering was Destin by Balmain. Gorgeous. If I keep liking it, full bottle time.

I’ve only tried fugazzi vanilla haze and I thought my nose is broken as it smells like the worst burnt rubber smell. Does anyone else get that? It may just be the way I perceive it though it as some people like it.

I think there's often a base scent that runs through all/most of a brand's fragrances, like their base DNA, that you either like or you don't. There are a couple of aroma chemicals - particularly ISO-E and Ambroxan - that some people are particularly sensitive to that you could be picking up on as well. I just don't vibe with most Tom Ford, or Penhaligons, but a lot of people love them, and anything that's got strong projection is liable to give me a headache (so no Baccarat Rouge!) - everyone's different!

I'm wearing Fugazzi orange crush today and I love it! I only have one day's worth left and I shall be sad to see it go. I also like Vanilla Haze, although not at first - I really like the drydown though.

That is so true.

I always loathe Zara scents because, on me, they all turn to sourness on the skin and all smell the same. A shame because I absolutely love Waterlily Tea Dress and Fashionably London on other people.

It’s the same with Chanel - don’t like any on my skin. All Dior, on the other hand,….

I love Vanilla Haze - am lucky I don’t get the burnt plastic with that. The Extrait, on the other hand, is a scrubber. Probably because of the Oud in it.
Which reminds me, I have an untested Vanilla Haze Extrait 8ml bottle in my collection. Free to anyone who would like it.

I'm usually the same with bibbi, but I'm glad I tried this one and didn't just chuck it on vinted. It's my current favourite 🥰 I like some Fugazzi fragrances, like angel dust and Pomegranoudh.

Liberty has nailed 👌 summer. Both Maze and Adelphi skin are fantastic. I may consider getting Liberty membership later to get bigger size bottles before next sunny vacation.

SOTD yesterday was Debaser in Bloom again. Have decided the dry down is way too sweet for me, so probably jumped the gun a bit with my bottle purchase!

Still keen to test Debaser, in the hope that is less sweet, as I have a bottle of that waiting too.

Undecided on today’s mood.

Testing lilyphéa again today. Confirmed it’s not a fs buy for me. It’s not a love. Good for my wallet as trying to be more mindful.

Feeling cherry today so it's cherry stem by phlur. One of the few phlurs I rate - I haven't got on with many of them. Honeymoon was too sweet, father figure too powdery. This is nice.

I also ordered the new fugazzi, Cloudh 9. I found fugazzi quite a brash, loud dna but more recently got along with vanilla haze and pomegranoudh. This one sounds nice.

SOTD : Escentric Molecules Cologne One.
intial impression: fresh gin. Not unpleasant but very heavy on the juniper!

Completely disappeared after about 2 hours. Not a hint remaining.

I’ve got a 7.5ml bottle of the +Iris from an advent. How similar / different is that? Should I try or just sell based on this?

Sabrina - sweet tooth SOTD. Nearly emptied this!

What do tou think of BDK Rouge Smoking
