Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

It's probably my second-favorite from Bond No. 9, behind Chinatown. Maybe New Haarlem is tied with it for second.

Interesting! I never owned Chinatown, but I had a sample. I don't remember dying over it, but I should try it again.

Of all the Bonds I had, Riverside Drive is still my favorite, followed by Nuits de Noho, West Broadway, and HOT Always. New Haarlem was a unique scent, but didn't hit with me personally on all levels. I found it a better layering scent or "base" than a scent on its own.

I liked Fire Island only for the fun factor; it's far too expensive to enjoy otherwise (got my bottle in a swap on Basenotes back in the day).

I no longer have any full bottles; I used up my 2nd bottle of RD 2-3 years ago. Were any scents reasonably available on the market, Roucel's RD and Helmut Lang EdP would probably be in my regular rotation; the former for meetings and the latter for evenings out. Both have a wonderful, soft, rich flavor to them.

I honestly don't know how you do it. I smell so much like unwashed **** and the heat makes it 100x worse.

Some of my favorite memories involve the scent of unwashed ****. It really depends on the girl attached to it.

I wore Riverside Drive as my pre-shower scent today. There's something about cool green notes like basil that I just don't like, and there's lots of that in this one.

SOTD: Guerlain Parure.

Admittedly, I'm not exactly sure this is how I want everyone else to remember me.

Day: YSL - M7. Interesting and decent longevity but poor projection.
Night: Annick Goutal - Ambre Fetiche. Not my favorite amber, but its unique (to me, at least).

Which version of M7? New or Old. Old never had a projection problem on me.

I guess the new, else STC would've specified it.

Lalique - Nilang. No fan. I'm not sure what it reminds me of, probaly TF - Black Orchid because I get some sort of similar melon note -- but melon isn't listed in the notes of Nilang so maybe I'm just confused.

Today: vintage Van Cleef and Arpels Pour Homme

Pre-shower: Amouage Gold Man. With the Lord as my witness, I declare that I like this one better than the feminine. My favorite Amouage of the ones I've tried.

SOTD: Keiko Mecheri Canyon Dreams

Longevity is much better, too, right?

Edit: Didn't see the pre-shower part.

This evening: Arquiste Aleksandr - a leather offset by a pleasant green violet leaf scent. I like my leathers to be dirtier or they cross over into the "gourmand" realm in my mind.

Some interesting SOTDs, fellas. Keep up the good work.

Finished up a 30ml of Ungaro II today. Was a little too hot/dry for it to work (the citrus burned off and left the civety/creamy vibe, which didn't work at this temperature).

Will switch to something lighter for an evening out tonight. Haven't decided yet, but probably Cristalle EdT (Chanel)
