But this year, I may have found the secret themes for the fall change: (1) skanky or (2) beeswax. For the first, I recently fell in love with l'Eau Scandaleuse and Salome, and for the second, I read MCMC Kept as beeswax, though no one else seems to.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-18667418031062818512015-09-19T16:10:37.640-04:002015-09-19T16:10:37.640-04:00I am not a fragrance connoisseur by any stretch, b...I am not a fragrance connoisseur by any stretch, but even I recognize that certain scents are better suited to some seasons than to others. For me, it wouldn't be fall without Musc Ravageur and this year I've added Tom Ford's Noir Pour Femme to the rotation. A friend had purchased it and it lasted all of two seconds on her so she gave it to me. On me it opens with a blast of sweet spice, fades to almost a whisper, and then blooms gloriously. I love it! As for Musc Ravageur, it's on my very short list of all time faves. Now if only the weather would cool down. We're having another heat wave in So Cal and so I'm still favoring my summer fragrances.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-65408935305458885012015-09-18T17:53:04.446-04:002015-09-18T17:53:04.446-04:00I'm honored to be chosen here Gaia, thank you ...I'm honored to be chosen here Gaia, thank you so much for your kind words -- I love what you say about Bergamoss!

On rotation this September: Chocolate Amere (soft, very soft, not enough power for the dead of winter but for now it works), Siberian Snow (green, soft embrace, not snowy at all on me), L'ombre Fauve and Indochine (delightful all year around), Musc Ravageur (uber tiny, cozy little kitty). wefadetograyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405480340863988032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-85563606611909079852015-09-18T14:05:32.702-04:002015-09-18T14:05:32.702-04:00Thanks for the Frost poem!

And great list of perfumes! Am thrilled to hear about Seyrig! Can't wait to try it! And am going to immediately go retry that Bulgari - I know I have a decant somewhere (am not particularly happy about all that that "somewhere" means - *must* continue to try to bring order and peace to my decants and samples).<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-87205430572371462692015-09-18T13:52:18.604-04:002015-09-18T13:52:18.604-04:00...just added Vetiver Oriental and it sings!...just added Vetiver Oriental and it sings!PrincessTonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733023843795092310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-72223107379718692432015-09-18T13:10:55.280-04:002015-09-18T13:10:55.280-04:00The Frost is so evocative of the wish to hold on t...The Frost is so evocative of the wish to hold on to the last rays and warmth.

I love this time of year for slowly sliding into my heavier fall fragrances. I am also a chypre-all-the-time person, but this time of year is especially good for these wonderful perfumes. Coty Chypre is right up at the tippy-top of that list. I am lucky enough to possess two bottles of this glorious elixir, both of which smell as fresh and delicious as the day they were bottled. I am loathe to give up my carnation frenzy just yet; I've been wearing L'Artisan Oeillet Sauvage and Aedes Oeillet Bengale, which is now my holy grail. I keep buying decants of the stuff, and I really should just spring for a bottle and get over myself. I believe this is one that could conceivably be worn right up until the first cold snap. I'm going to give it my best shot anyway. aoxoamoxoanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-46259369685153592022015-09-18T05:40:06.430-04:002015-09-18T05:40:06.430-04:00Thanks for sharing your list.
