How Do You Smell Today?

Chene Serge Lutens, come on guys!!!!!!

Le Labo Oud 27

 

[pavonine]

Heeley Iris de Nuit.

It's literally impalpable on my skin. Worse than some of the L'Artisan scents which have next to no longevity.

Commes Des Garcons Avignon

It's a great incense fragrance, but I'm not quite sure incense agrees with my body chemistry. I'm not one who easily wears masculine fragrances, and while I think this would smell beyond amazing on a guy, I just don't see myself ever being able to pull it off.

 

[tangerine]

^ I liked it but not on me. I think I traded my bottle away.

Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille

 

[Spike413]

I've tried Avignon as well. Love the scent itself, but I'm not convinced it's actually wearable on the skin. It's too dense.

Today and tonight it was Le Labo Rose 31

L'Artisan Tea for Two

Crikey! This smells exactly like one of my Dad's deodorant. It's so smoky and rich that I personally love it, just not on me.

Besides, I don't want to smell exactly like my Dad.

Speaking of dense, smoky and rich incense, today,

Le Labo Labdanum 18

I used to like this more, it's a bit sweet for my current preference.

Luv Spiritueuse Double Vanille!!!!
And Vanille Absolument by LAP on me, it's a divinely gourmand scent with yummy jerk and leathery note.

Caron Tabac Blond

Love!

Le Labo Vetiver 46

This may just be the first vetiver fragrance I really love. Granted it's really not about the vetiver, but still...

Serge Lutens Muscs Koublai Khan



This is the first time I think I felt scared to try out a fragrance.

I didn't hate it outright - I mean, I did give it a chance, but it did end up smelling urinal on me. It's just such a strange smell, definitely not pleasant one.

 

[tangerine]

Spike, I think it is part of the brief that each Le Labo fragrance should not smell like the namesake ingredient. Well, except maybe for Rose 31.

pavonine, I love MKK, but as I said before, I think we are fragrance opposites. To wit,

Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque

 

[Spike413]

Definitely the case with Le Labo, although the interesting thing is that their scents usually give off the impression of their namesake even if they barely smell like them. That's my take at least.

MKK on the other hand was really just a little scary at first, but on me it's certainly not the fearsome beast other people experience, unless my nose is completely dead to it and I reek to other people.

 

[bittercain]

MKK's not only a skin scent for me but also a super amazing base to strengthen the sophistication of florals or fruities, e.g.+Sarrasins, give it a try

Today Fleurs de Rocaille by Caron

 

[pavonine]

Caron Tabac Blond

Love!

I take that back. I wore Tabac Blond again last night, and I thought I smelt like an old musty cupboard in my nan's old house.

MKK's not only a skin scent for me but also a super amazing base to strengthen the sophistication of florals or fruities, e.g.+Sarrasins, give it a try

That's interesting. It wouldn't hurt to try that, though, as I've still got about 1ml of MKK and own a full sized bottle of Sarrasins.

Anyway, today am planning to Wear Hermes's Ambre Narguile.

...It wouldn't hurt to try that, though, as I've still got about 1ml of MKK and own a full sized bottle of Sarrasins..

I am going to try bittercain's recipe, too, though in my case, my quantities on hand of the ingredients are reversed.

for now, Le Labo Oud 27. More wood than oud but perhaps, to paraphrase Spike, "the oud is out there".
