How Do You Smell Today?

[KoV]

Durga by DS & Durga. I feel like Shiva

Just ordered the Pistachio perfume by DS & Durga. I haven’t smelled it, but hoping for the best. What’s the smell phrase equivalent of “sight unseen”? Scent unsmelled? Anyway, not typically one for gourmand fragrances but I hope it won’t have been a waste of money.

Wearing Barenia by Hermes today, another recent newbie for me. I like it, it’s a nice everyday sort of smell.

Byredo - Oud Immortel

Another 13 by Le Labo
This fragrance is seriously my favorite scent in the world. Its unmatched in my opinion, its musky but clean at the same time. 100% recommend.

Jo Malone - Pomegranate Noir

Dries van Noten, by F. Malle.

The mix of vanilla, sandalwood, jasmin, saffron and spices is pretty unique.
One of my favourite winter fragrances.

^ It's a shame that's been discontinued! In a strange coincidence, I was just looking at listings for it on eBay this afternoon wondering if it was worth a blind buy, but the cost is kind of insane, so I don't dare. Speaking of Frederic Malle, I was gifted The Night for Christmas. Only worn it once, it's almost disgusting at first (smells like blue cheese) and then transforms into a beautiful warm floral (rose) smell.


Has anyone tried Dries' own line of perfumes? The bottles are so beautiful, I want one just for that. Bitter Splash is what I've got my eye on currently. I'm a sucker for anything grapefruit.


Oh, and today I'm wearing Tonka Hysteria by D'Orsay.

Yes, I still have half a bottle and it is precious to me. It is really unique.

Have you smelled Ambre Eccentrico (Armani Privé)?
DVN is not sooo far away, A.Eccentrico leaning more towards almond, DVN more towards vanilla.
They kind of belong to the same family: spicy gourmand.
But not "blind-buy-friendly". Too particular.

I have never smelled The Night!
I am curious, if only because of the price!

And didn't know that Dries has their own line of fragrances!
Thanks! ❤️
