Juliana, I usually love my heavy scents but in cold weather.

I have problems with strong scents and headaches too…Maybe that’s the reason of all these light florals in my collection (and of course the hot hot weather).

Carmencanada, love your choices! Another damp earth scent is Rose de Nuit.

Spring is throwing my scent-choosing software off-kilter. Somehow, I prefer my chypres in summer, and my big white florals in winter (they make me feel like a hothouse). I’ve been off the orientals for a little while.
So right now, I’m gingerly venturing into seasonal flowers territory — after all, I also prefer to eat fruit and vegetables in seaon…
So it’s Une Fleur de Cassie : the warm, animalic drydown is just perfect in the cooler evenings, while the wet, metallic topnotes mesh with the first spring sun. Diorissimo, of course. And a very strong hankering for Frédéric Malle’s Une Rose which has also got the smell of damp earth to it.

Kris, Tiempe Passate is the ultimate “spring is here!” scent for me as well. When I owned a bottle, that’s when I wore it.
A little sneak peak: Bois Blond is really nice.

Kelley, “the heavies” – LOL! As for M7, agree! It works best in heat, it seems. The same goes for Chergui, on my skin. For the life of me, I cannot wear Yatagan – it’s so vicious! But I like your experiment.

Tamara, we tend to get in trouble a lot, don’t we?

Minsun, Fifi is perfect year around, agree. I’m not putting mine away per se, just trying to forget about them for a little. Of course, once we get another snow storm (which is a given), I’ll remember them again.

Marina, Barbara Bui is indeed comforting. Feel better soon! Remember what I told you.
