Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere. I love those sort of warm gourmand scents.
Maison Margiela Soul of the Forest
That sounds really lovely! I hadn’t heard of that one.
Prada Infusion d’Iris (it’s been discontinued for some time, which is a real shame) – I just spritzed some on now and I’m leaving for the gym in 5 minutes. It’s a nice, inoffensive scent so I can wear it to the gym without giving anyone a headache!
Mariella, the Bay still sells it. It is now a more prestige fragrance. It was one of my favourites until it became expensive.
I’ll have to look at The Bay if I’m ever in there again (!). I once got a fantastic gift set that included the shower gel and a body lotion. I treasure that shower gel and I’d love to find that again. Maybe at the holiday season they’ll have similar gift sets. Glad to know they still have it – I thought Prada had d/c’d it entirely for some nonsensical reason.
Winners sometimes gets a gift set or two around the holidays. Anytime I have gone back for one, it was gone. Keep an eye out. Only the higher end Bay stores will have the perfume. I think next week is the President’s sale. In the past, it has included cosmetics at 10% discount.
I love this fragrance so much have worn it for years – you can still get it on fragrance net.com
I’ve got a full bottle and a roller ball but it is good to know that if I can’t find it at The Bay, I can get it online.
YSL Black Opium, when I went for our anniversary dinner about a week and half ago. I’ve worn fragrance only two or three times since going on lockdown in March.
One of my favorite scents!
One of mine as well.
Clean Reserve Radiant Nectar.
Did NOT expect to like this– I tend to go for bitter, deep woody and green scents.
I got a sample of this and got so addicted I bought the large bottle!
Mad Madame by Juliette Has a Gun. It’s making my San Diego sinusitis with ash worse, but still a comfort during a pandemic. ?
I love not a perfume by Juliette got a gun I will have to try this one!
It’s unique. Think euphoric blackcurrant/berry overtone with a hint of jasmine that dries straight out to animalic musk. Pure sex. I just put on a spritz and can’t stop smelling it!
Florabotanica by Balenciaga!
Yes! Smells lovely. Nice but does not last!
Tom Ford Tabacco Vanille
Today it’s Aerin Iris Meadow. I have been rotating my fragrances a lot lately so I can test my sense of smell every morning before work. Of course, wearing a mask means I don’t get to really smell it as the day goes on.
I put on Acqua di Parma’s Fico di Amalfi after i shower, but it’s a light scent and fades midday, so I then put on Elizabeth Arden’s Red Door. I’ve had the Red Door bottles for ages – an old boyfriend loved it, but it’s a strong scent so I’ve just started to use it as we slide into Fall.
Maison Margiela Beach Walk! ??
Lipstick on is also a good one!
I rarely wear fragrance nowadays and I only have one at the moment, so it’s Versace Chrystal Noir.
Today is overcast, hot, and humid. I’m really not complaining, as the west coast and southwest are a conflagration, and that poses an even more dangerous and immediate threat to residents than Covid. The grammar is probably off, but hopefully the sentiment is not. I’m finishing up a quart bottle of 4711, and have decided not to repurchase any scents, due to my age. Mariella, I’ve had to bid farewell to Jicky.
I have been having a love affair lately with YSL Libre. I just had to get Libre Intense and have been wearing it the past two days.
I usually enjoy classics from Chanel or Guerlain, but YSL did a great job with this one. I like the way it warms up on my skin and the drydown is long lasting and gorgeous. The bottle is so beautiful. My husband loves it.
L’eau D’Issey by Issey Miyaki
One of my favorite scents and it is a standing gift from my daughter every year. I go through about a bottle a year. It is a citrus, floral, woodsy, oriental scent and is very light. I think it has a very sophisticated scent. Definitely not overwhelming. It screams spring/summer to me but I do occasionally wear it throughout the year.
This scent was one of my first favorites and something I keep in my collection. Love the distinct, clean, light scent. It always gets compliments.
It is one of those scents that is difficult to pin down exactly what the notes are because they blend so beautifully together. I don’t personally like over powering scents. I prefer something light.
Valentino Valentina-I only have a tiny bit of this left and I am trying to use it up. I wore it when I got home from work last night. Fragrance free workplace. Not sure if I would repurchase but I do like it.
Jo Malone Blackberry Bay.
Ah, I wore that a couple days ago!
Vera Wang Rock Princess
Yesterday I wore Frank Boclet’s Vanille. Happy I got compliments which was a bit puzzling since they were wearing a masks. Notes include vanilla, citrus and caramel and musk. A pretty gourmand scent. I wear perfume and makeup just about everyday.
I got a few Le Labo city exclusive samples and have been wearing Cuir/Dubai and Poivre/London all the time since they arrived.
I just used up my Le Labo Musc / Los Angeles scent I love it!
Oooh I almost got that one but held off. I’ll be sure to give it a try while I still can. They’re all so good!
Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb Dew.
Guerlain the new Iris Torreife. It’s beautiful.
Dior Addict, my husband bought it for me and we both really like it.
YSL Ysatis – just now I sprayed some on!
L’ombre Dans L’eau by Diptyque. Fairly new purchase. It’s an energetic, slightly cooling, unique chypre that seems perfect for moving from summer into fall. And mood-lifting to breathe in something other than smoke and ash from the Nor Cal blazes. Had never asked myself before …Hmmm what would be a good scent to wear while surrounded by fires?
On second thought it’s not a chypre. More of a very green floral.
Replica beachwalk
Philosophy Pure Grace Desert Summer.
Tory Birch Bel Azur – my new favorite go to. Beautiful ocean-y scent
Lancome Idole. I don’t usually wear fragrance that is heavy on advertising but I got a sample and…I couldn’t help but like it. It’s a very pleasing floral with some sweet pear.
Dior Dolce Vita
I love fragrance so much .. I was wearing mostly Tom Ford fragrances last year – Cafe Rose being my favorite. This year I have discovered maison francis kurkdjian. Gone a little crazy and bought feminine plural , a la rose. Oud satin mood, Oud silk mood and baccarat rouge! I rotate these with my Maison Lancôme Oud Bouquet . I’m also majorly into body wash current fave is Crabtree Evelyn Rose –
Last week I wore Ralph Lauren Woman, from a Sephora sample.
I wear a different perfume every day.
L’Artiasan Parfumeur Passage d’Enfer
Gaultier Classique. It’s been my most used one for about two years now.
