Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

Didn't you get a bottle of that while in Belgium?

You have a good memory! Yes, I got that while I was in Antwerp.

Pre-shower: Balenciaga Pour Homme. I think this might be illegal in some civilizations ("disturbance of olfactory peace").
SOTD: Amouage Fate Woman

Mark Birley for Men

SOTE - Tom Ford Champaca Absolute

Today: Cuir Pleine Fleure. This is such a thoroughly "organic" fragrance - with leather, violet, honey, and cumin.

SOTD - Creed Royal Water - smells like Lemon Cascade Dishwashing Detergent

SMN Colonia Russa. Nice, but pretty much completely gone in 3 hrs.

 

[L'Incandescent]

Pre-shower: YSL L'Homme Libre. I've never been a fan of this and I am still not.
SOTD: Jasmin 17.

Silver Musk today.

SOTD Amouage Opus VII. Love this stuff, but what truly is fragrance love. I suppose you define what fragrances you love by which ones you'll refill as soon as its finished. I can say bottles I'll always keep on deck are Amouage Epic Man and CDG Hinoki. I saw my Hinoki was almost drained this morning and it made me sad. Granted, I wear Hinoki more at home lounging around than I do in public. It's my personal pleasure to wear it.

SOTE - Tom Ford Champaca Absolute

I just got a sample of that one. What should I expect?

Thanks,

I'm not PCK1, but I'll weigh in: it's a bright, summery floral with a prominent boozy note at the top. It's got an interesting grainy texture that I usually associate with saffron. As it dries down, it becomes more ambery, so that it almost approaches being an oriental. I've gotten a good number of compliments on it.

Today, au bureau: Dior Eau Sauvage vintage Edt. Mmm, the oakmoss in this one is just terrific.

Tonight: Serge Lutens, Fleurs de Citronnier. If you like orange blossom (I love it) this is a winner! Better, to my mind, than Fleur d'Oranger.

I really like Champaca Absolute...but I do often debate whether it is too feminine...I think I may give mine away...as I don't wear it very often for this reason.

It's one I really only ever wear in the privacy of my own home.

SOTE - Tom Ford Noir de Noir

I prefer this to Champaca...its still got the great floral from the rose...but is more masculine...alot of gourmand going on too
