Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

[L'Incandescent]

I am kickin' it Cuir de Russie (Chanel) style this evening.

 

[HORNS]

Even though the two small dabs of Parure is still has a lovely glow on my left wrist, I slapped on (applied via an atomizer) some Balenciaga Pour Homme on me tonight. For those who have not tried it, it is discontinued yet still available at an inexpensive price online, and I highly recommend you consider getting a bottle. I'm sure some of the veterans on here will disagree, but it is a hybrid, in style, of the Histoires de Parfums line combined with some of the high-quality exoticism of the Amouage men's line. One of the most opulent powerhouse male fragrances ever made.

Holy crap, I was really close to applying Balenciaga for my SOTE and only decided on CdR at the last minute.

James, Orange Star is indeed a Tauer. I would say it's a powerhouse in the sense that you smell more an orange oil than a citrusy EdC. It's about 8 hours since I applied it, and it still comes through as mostly orange, with a bit of Amber.

Andy Tauer offers a Discovery Set of 5 samples in a presentation tin for E31, shipped free. You can pick whatever you want in the samples. It's a great way to dip your toe into his range. I'm on my second sample set, and have tried 11 Tauer frags overall now. Since you can't buy Tauer in Australia, this is the best way for me to check them out.

Re balenciaga PH, the incense part is intriguing, but the patchouli is scaring me away.

BTW, anyone can recommend a good fragrance with myrrh and frankincense?

This evening, IUNX Splash Forte. Giacobetti has somehow managed to tune down the cumin on this, which is fortunate as my skin chemistry usually turns cumin into armpits whiffiness.

May I recommend to you pretty much the complete line of Amouage? Each of their scents features frankincense and/or myrrh in some way or the other.

ALL the powerhouse fragrances who's origins are from 1980-1990 have a lot of patchouli in them.

Sounds like the way to go.

I am wearing New York today. It is by PdN.

 

[California Dreamer]

Original Vetiver today. I'm not a huge Creed fan (Aventus leaves me cold) but this is one I do like.

 

[L'Incandescent]

There is a rumor circulating around the Internet that I am wearing Byredo Seven Veils hey guess what the rumor is true.

Did you buy that bottled or make it yourself?
I must admit i will be pretty disappointed of it isn't the latter. (Hypocrisy)

I prepared it using my own raw materials and wits (just calling it Byredo Seven Veils so everyone has a rough sense of what I did create).
