Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

[Nobilis Animus]

Neroli Portofino I love more in its Forte version; it adds just a touch of woodiness that gives it some lasting power, and makes it a great hot weather fragrance, like Ambulance Chaser said.

Jo Malone - next time ask for Wood Sage and Sea Salt. Fantastic scent! Wish it lasted longer, but they're supposed to be fleeting.

Jo Malone has done nothing for me personally

Could not agree more.

Definitely not my favorite (that goes to a very special scent)

Thinking of a very clean fougere for tomorrow.

What's everyone's favorite rainy-day perfume?

Ones own undercarriage?

It is unspeakable.

I actually appreciate how it comes out of the small stopper too. It means that it can be applied very subtly if necessary.

Could not agree more.

This is not an insult to anyone, but I've always said that Jo Malone is for suckers. Seriously, the level of fraudulence of this line is absurd. If you're going to charge as much as you do, you better be offering more than just lightly scented perfumer's alcohol.

I have begun to think that Geo F. Trumper Eucris is a great rainy day fougere. I'd love to try it out on a cold and rainy fall day some time in October.

Sounds like you've moved on and you're Post Malone?

To be honest, I don't own any Jo Malone scents for just that reason. I'd rather spend on something that lasts a little longer on me.

As for Eucris, definitely a rainy autumn day - something of a chill in the air, when the leaves are changing. It's a bit warmer today and I'm thinking of something softer. Maybe a tobacco instead.

I had to google that.

Some thoughts I had this evening: I am not one who believes that perfumes are a purely individual pursuit. On the contrary, I see a lot of value in discovering what works best with one's skin chemistry, tastes, and lifestyle that also manages to be alluring/having an effect on others whom you wish to attract/impress.

For those who maintain it is - would you then say that you'd be willing to wear a frangrance which gave you great pleasure and enjoyment, but repelled others? Bear in mind that if you answer yes...you will arguably be making the case for those poor, lost souls who wear Axe in the mistaken belief that they actually enjoy it (a near physical impossibility).

I never gave this too much thought, however I definitely seem to prefer wearing fragrances that are reflective of my lifestyle or environment, I never wear a fragrance to portray something that I am not. I am me, first. For example, I don't care for lighter marine type fragrances. Some of them are lovely, but it doesn't work for me in NYC. Maybe if I preferred more tropical, beach type places to reside and had that lifestyle they would be more important to me. I don't think I wear a fragrance to impress or attract anybody, however. I actually think that is kind of silly and that person usually has an odd vibe about them anyway.
