Solander, I’ve never tried Ambre Cannelle! Sounds intriguing.

Carmencanada, love your choices! Ah, any perfume worn in Paris just sounds so charming.

I wish I could enjoy La Myrrhe, as I own a bell jar of it (a gift). Maybe I’ll give it another try.

This week was all about sun and balmy winds in Paris, so I broke out:
Serge Lutens Un Lys, so astoundingly sensuous I could’ve snogged myself;
Diorissimo vintage parfum;
Frédéric Malle Une Fleur de Cassie, my ! what a warm, deliciously slightly funky drydown she has;
and today, with the clouds coming back to tint Paris with a dove-grey coat, a dove-grey scent, Jicky, just to remind myself how much I love it…

I’m pretty jealous of you ladies with decants (or flacons) of the new Chanels which temporary circumstances have forced me to enjoy only in the boutiques… the want monster rears his head, RUN!

Oops, here’s my late answer, Evilpeony: I find La Myrrhe to be sparkling, slightly powdery, sweet, and vaguely floral (even though I don’t think there are any floral notes listed), and very comforting. I have a decant and I think that will be enough for me. I will see how I feel once I finish the decant!

Oh and today I’m wearing Ambre Cannelle. What a nostalgic scent of cracked, dry, yellowed old guest soaps and musty old houses!

Oh dear, let’s see if I can recall… I’ve mostly been testing new samples, as usual.
Monday – Miss Balmain, I’m quite sure.
Tuesday – um, was this when I tested the horrible plasticky sweet Lollia samples? I think so, yes…
Wednesday – Angelique Encens, and then, because the sun was shining I wanted something heady and tropical, so BPAL’s Bayou in my hair.
Thursday – Tabarome faded fast, so I started to experiment with Bois d’Encens and Escentric 01.
Friday: YSL Nu for class, then I went to the movies (El Laberinto del Fauno) swept in a lovely cloud of L’air de rien (I bet I was a pest to the people sitting next to me, but someone smelled strongly of garlic so that’s only fair)

Thanks, everyone! Loved reading your lists.
Evilpeony, I adore La Myrrhe! But it’s not loved by many. It works great on my skin. Very bitter and mature, so to speak but the drydown is amazing.
