But I was in NYC just last month and I wore all my favourite fragrances. If I ever get to experience another winter, the below would be making their cameos again:<br /><br />1) Parfums de Marly Herod --> cinnamon, vanilla and tobacco = PURE WINNER<br />2) Phaedon Tabac Rouge --> why TF Tobacco Vanille when I have this<br />3) MDCI Chypre Palatin --> I only have a tiny decant of this but after wearing it once, I tell myself I have to have this!<br /><br />I love winter fragrances, and it saddens me that I live in a country that has tropical climate all year round...Nazrulhttp://www.fragrantica.com/member/865712/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-25977573530682093142016-01-25T10:19:53.209-05:002016-01-25T10:19:53.209-05:00I wish my husband would wear a scent! :)

No seasons for hubby. More like decades. <br />I must be wearing 3 scents a day now to get all my faves in. Boxeuses, La Myrrhe, Vol de Nuit, Fille de Aiguilles/5 Gigembre, Ambre Sultan, Un Bois Vanille, Mon Precieux Nectar. Last night doused in Paloma Picasso. Can barely see anything from my window.

Thank God!<br />I found Brut Shaving foam for him this Christmas and you would have thought I had given him the very coveted Guerlain Iris Ganache! LOL Overjoyed! <br />So for me ... of course my Gaia's L'Ombre Fauve. I have a new perfume for winter now ... bought it on Ebay for half price and my husband picked it up from the husband of the lady who bought it in Dubai and did not like it and sold it to me - Guerlain's Rose Nacree du Desert.Can you just imagine two old boys exchanging perfume for money in a parking lot.... and they threw in a Jimmy Choo body lotion too !

BUT, in my recent frantic sampling I did fall very much in like with Atelier Cologne's Santal Carmin, so a small decant lives with me now. I would happily add Naomi Goodsir's Bois D'Ascece but my husband is not a fan. <br /><br />I am adding Gold Undergreen to my list of scents to sample, too.

I'm out the door before he spritzes and it's long gone by the time he gets home. He's a light sprayer anyway. I'll have to find out if his choices are somewhat seasonal or not. I'm like you, I wear the traditional winter perfumes year round. I don't wear summery ones in the winter too much though. Lately Noel au Balcon, Chergui, and Ambre Sultan have been in heavy rotation for me. Poodlenoreply@blogger.com
