The only new scent I can think of is Maison Margiela On a Date. I have a lot of favourite scents but they don’t date from this passing year. And, alas, when I am tempted to add yet another new fragrance, I’m always reminded of that “dictum” from Hubert de Givenchy (though I don’t know why I let it affect me so much, but there you have it – it’s not unlike the tyranny of my Apple watch!)

This is Her is my most-worn fragrance this year. I don’t know how they managed to make a perfume that’s simultaneously comforting and cold, but it’s fantastic!

Looking at the year in total, Izzy Miyake’s L’Eau de Izzy would be the most used. I wear it pretty much all year round but especially love it for spring and summer. I also wore a lot of my Joy this year. I have a couple of backup bottles and while they haven’t changed scent, I don’t want them to go bad so wearing them more. Just for everyday, I like Tokyo Rose Tainted Love and recently, Tom Ford Lost Cherry, although I really hate the name.

Oh, how to choose just a few! Well, there’s L’envol de Cartier, which I love for colder weather. Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum for all year ’round! And I’ve recently been pulling out REPLICA Jazz Club, which I also enjoy a lot.

I rotate perfumes constantly but 2 of my favorites this year are
Juliette Has a Gun “Not a Perfume “ and when I want something warmer Guerlain “Terracotta” …

Dior Addict. Sadly, according to Dior they are reformulating once again. This will be the fourth flanker in 22 years. Big sigh, many tears

Prada Candy is what I wear almost exclusively and I have repeatedly been told I smell amazing (trust me–it’s the fragrance not me 🙂 )

I reached for Zadig & Voltaire This is Her (and then when it ran empty, the Zara Fields at Night dupe) almost every warm day and night this year—which is most days and nights, since I live in the American South.

I also loved Commodity Gold enough to spring for a full bottle when I ran out of my 10ml sample—which says a lot, since I’ve (embarrassingly) accumulated far more perfumes than I will ever get through.

A less-worn, but no-less-favorite, new-to-me perfume was Afnan Amberythme; it’s a warm amber-saffron-spice that smells amazing but is just a bit too heavy/spicy for the warm climate here.

Clearly I need some clarification….do these questions about 2023 products apply to NEW products released in 2023 or is it a question about our own personal favourites worn/used in the past year? I guess I thought these questions were for “new” releases but clearly, I’m the only one who seems to have interpreted it this way….

Thanks, Christine. As I said in a few of these question threads, I’ve purchased so little in 2023 (mostly replenishing products I use up) that I didn’t feel I could actually “take part”.

Probably For Strange Women’s November in the Temperate Deciduous Forest: “Lapsang Souchong tea brewing on a wood-burning stove. Fallen leaves nestle into the earth and mushrooms sprout across thee damp forest floor. A chord of resins create a sweet aura reminiscent of the air after a cool, rainy morning.”
