As far as I understand, good perfumes are designed to work with your skin chemistry, and so just dipping a cotton ball in a perfume will not have the same effect as applying the perfume directly to your skin. I like to apply on my wrists and behind the ears, but I think anywhere your skin is not over sensitive (for example, not on your face) and yet close enough to the nose that you can smell it is fine. Unfortunately, these sample vials do last only a shortwhile ... If there is something I am pretty sure I would like, I order a spray of 5ml (of course, if the price is not exorbitant). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-74129 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:01:30 +0000 Vani 74129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, I added everything to the cart but didn't get a chance to finalize and place the order what with unexpected guest. Guess its a good thing because now I can add a sample of Kenzo too. I promise I will update as soon as get them.</p> <p>On another note, how would you suggest I maximize the mileage of these samples? I've never figured out the best way to apply perfume out of a vial. I read somewhere to apply to a cotton ball and tuck it between the breasts and let the scent release throughout the day. Does that work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73885 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:47:01 +0000 HannahC 73885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy, I think I am going to order myself a set of CB samples ... Both Black March and Russian Caravan Tea sound divine.</p> <p>Lena, I read in some perfume blog that Burning Leaves is supposedly very good layered with a vanilla scent. It makes a lot of sense to me, but I have zero experience in layering my perfume.</p> <p>I just applied Jicky again yesterday, before going to sleep (I find the best way to smell perfume is to apply it when I am ready to bed, because perfumes tend to open better on a warm skin underneath the blanket), and still ... nothing animalistic Just a very nice, hard to describe, scent I think I need another sample of Bandit or another equally crazy perfume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73855 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 06:29:24 +0000 Dashrashi 73855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you love citrus but not sweet, Russian Caravan Tea is going to be a hit. </p> <p>Personally, I don't love Christopher Brosius's take on the aquatics--I don't really smell the same "ocean" as he does, I guess. (See, e.g., Demeter Ocean and CBIHP Mr. Hulot's Holiday.) But the perfume that sent me on this whole odyssey is Demeter's Snow, which I find to smell exactly--EXACTLY--like the ozonic, crispy smell of snow when you eat it. Others don't, and that's clearly personal (see above re me and CB not agreeing when it comes to the ocean), but that's always made me think that Winter 1972 would be amazing. </p> <p>As far as Black March, my understanding is that this is some sort of Wonka-esque blend of the clean-dirt notes from Demeter Dirt (which CB also formulated, I believe) and his clean-floral notes, a la To See A Flower, which I have a sample of, and find absolutely charming. Others have described it as like sticking your nose in a florist's refrigerator, and I agree. There's a lot of green, and a lot of FRESH flowers--nothing warm or heady. It's all very crispy. And it's my understanding that Black March has a lot of this Dirt note and a lot of the crisp floral of something like To See A Flower. (Apparently some of the Demeters also hit this crispy floral note--off the top of my head, I think it's Pruning Shears, Greenhouse, and/or Flower Show). </p> <p>I know people love Burning Leaves, but I can't vouch for it personally. I like to limit my smoke, though, so it might not be up my alley anyway. Ambre Narguile is about as smoky as I get. </p> <p>I have no frakkin' idea about Violet Empire. </p> <p>My next CB is probably going to be one of: Tea/Rose, Wild Hunt, November, Cradle of Light (I looove a jasmine minus the indoles, like a really fresh jasmine, which is why I love L'Artisan The Pour Un Ete, since jasmine tea is like jasmine without the indoles), or Lavender Tea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73835 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 04:05:27 +0000 Lena 73835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, I've perked up when you mentioned wood+dark chocolate. I will definitely keep an eye out (and nose) for this one!</p> <p>Yikes, I was so zen about my sample collection, and now this thread is waking up my inner maniac. Must go spray some calming lavender, hehee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73768 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:15:56 +0000 HannahC 73768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>God, we completely occupied this thread :)</p> <p>San, I just remembered: you might like Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan (should be easy to find in any department store). It is a woody scent with an amber base (Tresor also has an amber base, as Lena said). And it is not sweet, judging from the description (I am not a big fan of amber myself, so I haven't tried it).</p> <p>Vani, what do you think of Kenzo "7:15 AM in Bali" ? I just looked it up, it has citrus and orchid in the list of notes. It does have vanilla as well, so if you don't like vanilla in your perfume it might not be the right thing for you. I personally love vanilla and I am always looking for not too sweet vanilla-based perfumes. Currently, my favorite is "Un Bois de Vanille" by Serge Lutens - the bitter base saves it from being too sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73765 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:07:18 +0000 HannahC 73765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Vani, you are going to try CB I hate perfume! And the ones I have on my wishlist too! Please tell us your impressions when they arrive and you try them! The only thing that prevents me from ordering a set of samples myself is that I have too many samples currently and I haven't made up my mind about all of them yet. </p> <p>San, if you are going a less conventional route, you may want to try Serge Lutens' "Cedre" - it is, as you can guess, a scent based on Cedarwood, so it might be just the thing for you. In general Lutens' scents are not overly sweet at all, they all have a slightly bitter base (which I love). </p> <p>Oh, and by the way, speaking of men's perfumes on women - don't laugh, but the most widespread and conventional perfume - the masculine variation of Angel (I think it is called A* or something like that?) by Thierry Mugler is actually quite woody and not too sweet (well, at least on me). Imagine wood and dark chocolate together, this is what it smells like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73762 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:24:46 +0000 Vani 73762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lena, Spring orchid has been long discontinued so I can't find ANY information on it. I guess I will make do with lotion I fortunately bought along with the EDT. It is just such a gorgeous scent, instantly lifts my mood. A bit on the sweeter side but gorgeous nonetheless </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73760 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:20:31 +0000 Anonymous 73760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the starting point Lena. I will check out Declaration by Cartier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73759 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:20:02 +0000 Lena 73759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, there's a new woody perfume from Estee Lauder - Sensuous. I find it too sweet, especially in the opening. It's well done, and it's very smooth. If you feel like it, give it a try. You can always wash it off if you dislike it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73757 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:13:34 +0000 Lena 73757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Niva, I'm not familiar with Spring Orchid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/4#post-73755 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:11:50 +0000 Lena 73755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, cedar and woods is a great category. So much to choose. </p> <p>How about something easily available at Sephora or Nordies - Declaration by Cartier. It's a men's scent, but don't let that stop you. I sniff across the aisle all the time. It's a terrific refreshing woodsy scent, with cedar and some spices and citrus. It's not overly complicated and I mean that as a good thing. </p> <p>If you're after some serious woody scents, I'd skip the women's section and head straight for the men's. <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/section.jhtml?categoryId=C8104" rel="nofollow">http://www.sephora.com/browse/.....ryId=C8104</a> </p> <p>The women's woody classification is pretty jumbled in my opinion.<br /> <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/section.jhtml?categoryId=C8103" rel="nofollow">http://www.sephora.com/browse/.....ryId=C8103</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73751 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:58:26 +0000 Vani 73751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lena, roses in dirt "sounds" magical to my nose I was looking for a sample on perfumedcourt and just stumbled on another old favorite: Creed's Silver Mountain Water. I used to "wear" it vicariously though, through a manager at an old job, because I could never afford it! I didn't know about samples then, heh. Another 5 minutes on that site and I will have a $100 worth of just all samples! I have a pretty small collection of perfumes, but still...must...stop...</p> <p>Ooh, one more question, I am running out the last few drops of a lovely perfume I picked up at The Body Shop years ago called "Spring Orchid". Is there anything similar ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73749 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:49:38 +0000 Lena 73749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Niva, I don't see myself as any sort of expert at all. But thank you :)</p> <p>Unfortunately I haven't tried any of the "CB I hate perfume". Yet What you picked sounds really good. Dash recommended Russian Caravan Tea earlier in the thread. I hope she chimes in again. </p> <p>Hee, I still read NST and etc weekly. Weirdly, it relaxes me. I hear ya about overloaded shopping carts. Nowadays I just put things on wish lists. I'm really careful with my samples and full bottle spending. I'm also pretty satisfied with what I have right now and I'm currently revisiting lots of old things. My perfume obsession is kind of cyclical this way.</p> <p>Since you like patchouli, I'm tempted to recommend one of my favorite weird patchouli combos. L'Artisan Voleur de Roses. Imagine roses in dirt. (I also get a bit plum and rye bread from it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73747 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:35:00 +0000 Vani 73747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to add that according to retailmenot, code "MUA" is currently available for free shipping from Lucky Scent </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73745 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:28:29 +0000 Anonymous 73745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to see if I had some Tresor to sniff so I could remember what I liked about it but I don't have it anymore. I remember liking it as it warmed up after several hours and even the next day if it was still on me or my clothes it smelled good.<br /> I did just now find some samples of Philosophy Grace and Hope which I remember thinking were nice.<br /> You haven given me an interest in learning more about perfumes. I had always thought one puts on perfume for others rather than for yourself. Weird how I had that twisted.<br /> There is always the person who wears way too much perfume and annoys others and I didn't want to be like that.<br /> I remember loving a perfume when I was youger that smelled just like a flower but I cannot think of the name of the flower. If I remeber correctly it was quite sweet so I probably would not like it now.<br /> I don't like the smell of lavendar at all. Rose perfume never really smells like a rose to me. I don't like sandalwood. I do love the smell of cedar and some other woods.<br /> So I'll go and read the article you have shared and begin my journey into the world of perfumes.<br /> Thankyou, this will be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73740 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:11:07 +0000 Vani 73740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had been wanting to post something since this morning but finally got some time to :-)</p> <p>Lena, Hannah, you've ignited the curiosity I had about 2 years ago about perfumes and craving something beyond what is available at Macys (the CKs etc.) I used to be an avid reader of <a href="http://nstperfume.com">NowSmellThis</a> and had become so very intrigued with CDG, CB I hate Perfume, Annick Goutal, People of the Labyrinths, Hermes, Caron, Guerlain and other perfume houses. I would spend hours on Luckyscent each day going back and forth, reading reviews etc. I had a shopping cart the size of a gorilla, but somehow I had never gotten around to ordering any samples. It was in the Pre YLF days when I still hadn't wrapped my head around how to spend money on perfume, cosmetics, clothes etc. </p> <p>I did however end up loving Calyx by Prescriptives, so much so that I ended up buying it right at the counter. I had only used test strips so I didn't realize it evaporated on me in just a few minutes. Anyways, then I went back to my old faithfuls Light Blue and Truth. </p> <p>I am about to place an order on th Perfumed Court for a 5 sample pack of the CB I hate Perfume series. Thinking of Black March (I have craved this forever, something about the description just reaches out to me), Burning Leaves, Winter 1972, Violet Empire and Russian Caravan Tea - what do you think?</p> <p>Just so you know me a little better, I love non-sweet citrusy scents, white flower scents that are not too sweet (lilies, honeysuckle etc), do not like Lolita Lempicka and the only fruit smell I've liked was Nina Ricci's appley perfume Nina. I adore Bvlgari Notte, Bvlgari Green Tea and have a thing for vetiver and patchouli. I also adore Demeter's Grass.</p> <p>Thank you so much! Picture me falling at your feet and chanting all hail Lena and Hannah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73734 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:23:13 +0000 HannahC 73734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lena,</p> <p>I tried Sables and it smelled exactly like maple syrup on me! It was nice, but a little strange to walk around smelling like a pancake </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73733 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:06:23 +0000 Lena 73733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, it's been a while since I smelled Pureology, but how about Prescriptives Calyx? It should be easily available at any Prescriptives beauty counter. It's a nice fruity floral with a bit of green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73732 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:01:27 +0000 Lena 73732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, here's a slightly different list of notes for Tresor: peach, apricot, pineapple, bergamot, rose, orris, heliotrope, jasmine, sandal, musk, vanilla. It's not uncommon to have inconsistent lists of notes: sometimes perfumes get reformulated, sometimes marketing teams change things around.</p> <p>San, did you like the fruity aspect of Tresor? Or the florals? How about the very end, did you like how it smelled at the end of the day or after several hours? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73731 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:54:33 +0000 Lena 73731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, what did you like about Tresor? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73730 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:52:50 +0000 Lena 73730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, I've tried Eau de Hadrien (ok, but I prefer Diptyque's L’Ombre dans L’Eau), Mandragore and probably Songes. Mandragore doesn't open on me at all, no matter what I do, and smells mostly sour. I can't believe I got a bad sample because it was from a reputable place. Yes, they are very light and short lived on me, too. Kind of like L'Artisans (many of which I adore).</p> <p>It's nice to see AG more widely available in the US (both online and in stores). Unfortunately they been cutting back on their selection lately. I still want to try Duel and Sables and Vetiver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73723 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:32:19 +0000 HannahC 73723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, Lena, I was laughing at it too when I read it for the first time! I actually don't find Mitsouko that challenging (Bandit surely was much more challenging for me!), but I guess it depends on a particular skin chemistry.<br /> What do you think about Annick Goutal? It is supposed to be very good, but on me it is very very light to start with, and evaporates in a matter of minutes Also, the ones I smelled were floral-romantic type, and I somehow cannot really connect to it - I prefer scents with bolder personality, and not floral. But maybe it is just that they don't sit well on my skin? They are getting rave reviews. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73720 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:04:34 +0000 Lena 73720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, I'm rereading that Perfume 101 post and cracking up at: "Mitsouko - advanced beginner, try hard. It's like your first bite of asparagus" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73719 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:59:43 +0000 Lena 73719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, I posted before seeing your detailed and very helpful reply. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73718 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:57:50 +0000 Lena 73718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, Tresor is a lovely classic scent. I associate it with so many women in my life, and never try it on myself. It features apricot, rose, lily of the valley, lilac, peach, iris, amber, vanilla, musk. I'm not very fond of the signature Lancome amber base, so I don't try most Lancome creations. Amber in perfumery is kind of an abstract grouping of several concepts and I don't entirely get what it's supposed to mean. I perceive it as something rich and warm and sometimes balsamic and sweet. Sorry, I don't mean to lecture. I'm just trying to figure out what you may like based on Tresor.</p> <p>I hear you, it's really hard to go through perfumes at the counter. Most counters have coffee beans for you to sniff, it's supposed to help clear your nose. </p> <p>Hmm, let's see. I hope other ladies chime in, too.</p> <p>I agree with your husband about candle shops and potpourri. I suspect he is reacting to the quality of the fragrance as well. I find it homogeneous. How does he feel about men's fragrances available in department stores? Normally they feature notes not represented in candles and potpourri. </p> <p>If you like the smell of regular soaps and lotions, you are probably smelling synthetic musks and abstract florals. Like you, I love Pureology smells, and have yet to find an equivalent :(</p> <p>I'm going to think about your question some more. </p> <p>Hee! about scents mixing together on clothes. That's why I envy people who commit to one or two fragrances. It is indeed a problem. I normally test my samples on wrists for this reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73717 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:36:18 +0000 HannahC 73717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San,</p> <p>Thanks for the compliments! :)</p> <p>I actually never try perfume in a store, because, like you, after 2 different perfumes I cannot smell anything. What I recommend is to order several samples and try them at home, one perfume a day. I love <a href="http://theperfumedcourt.com/" rel="nofollow">http://theperfumedcourt.com/</a> - they offer samples and sets of samples and have the most amazing selection of both mainstream, boutique, and niche perfumes. Another good source is <a href="http://www.luckyscent.com/samples.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.luckyscent.com/samples.asp</a> - I never ordered from them because their shipping rates are higher, but they have a good selection. </p> <p>Generally, perfumes are divided into several groups by their type: chypre (based on oakmoss), floral, oriental/spicy, fruity, animalistic, and their combinations. There are probably some others ... You can start by ordering a set of samples that covers several groups. Then, once you decide which group you like, you can proceed with ordering a set of samples from this group (for example, if you decide that you like floral, you can order a set of lavender-based, rose-based, jasmine-based, etc. perfumes). Or, you can order a set from a particular perfume house. Usually, each perfume house has its distinct base, which is present in all its perfumes. So, if you like several perfumes from a particular perfume house, there is a good chance that you will like others from the same house.</p> <p>Come to think about it, maybe the best way to start is by reading this post: <a href="http://perfumeposse.com/2006/05/30/perfume-primer-notes-from-the-edge-of-an-atomizer/" rel="nofollow">http://perfumeposse.com/2006/0.....-atomizer/</a><br /> This blog is written by the same ladies who run theperfumedcourt, and they are very knowledgeable in perfumes. This post is "Perfume 101" - the best, most interesting, and, at the same time, accessible perfumes (accessible meaning that they are not too weird).</p> <p>I do indeed put on perfume primarily for myself - I am being very careful not to overdose so that nobody can smell my perfume from more than two steps away. I am also careful not to spray any perfume on my clothes (most of my perfumes are samples in vials, without atomizer, so this is not a problem), because indeed the scent can linger on the clothes for several days. I put perfume on my wrists and behind my ears. Having said that, this winter I had a minor obsession with Chanel's 31 Rue Cambon (I finished my sample ... sniffing and wiping tears), so I put a little on my pashmina to be able to smell it during the day. But then I knew I will be using this perfume several days in a row.</p> <p>Oh, and good perfume smells nothing like a candle shop. The scents are much more subtle and complex - no potpouri </p> <p>Good luck San!! I am very curious which perfume(s) you will end up liking enough to buy full-size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73715 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:22:53 +0000 Lena 73715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, I haven't tried any Carons yet. I'm a little intimidated by them, I don't know why. Maybe it's something I read when I was starting out and it stuck with me. I have a few on my wish list, though. </p> <p>Musk Ravageur is also on my wish list. I keep meaning to seriously explore musks, and just didn't get to it yet. I don't even know if I can smell musks (I think some people can't). I've tried Narciso Rodriguez "For her" and SJP's "Lovely", both of which are supposed to heavily feature musk. What I smell is this fruity sweet something in the base (mixed with amber?). I prefer Lovely because I like how it hums; NR For Her is too rich for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73703 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:08:31 +0000 Anonymous 73703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am amazed at the perfume knowledge here.<br /> I have not worn perfume in years. When I was young it was always a simple floral scent. I do not like heavy scents at all. The last perfume I loved was Tresor by Lancomb. I'm not sure if that one is a floral scent.<br /> I think pitchouli oil in the 60's ruined me. Every once in a while someone would put that stuff on and go to a public place like a movie and Ooooooh I can still smell it. It was awful.<br /> When I do want to do a little sniffing at the perfume counter I cannot smell a pleasant smell after 1 or 2. In fact I would have to just try one a day in order for the smells to not get confused.<br /> What would you all recommend for someone who is sensitive like me? My husband cannot stand the smell of a candle shop or going into a place that sells potpouri, so the scent should be light enough to not bother him, yet worth the effort of wearing it. I usually enjoy the smell of my regular soaps and lotions. I do not like to smell a vanilla candle. Right now I am in love with the smell of Pureology hair products.<br /> I am fascinated by the depth knowledge and smell that Lena, HannahC, Ana, Angie and a few others have. You have done your homework. Usually I question why I would want to smell like this or that perfume, but you sound like you put on a perfume so you can enjoy it yourself. I love that point of view, and I think I could go for that.<br /> What about your clothing smelling like all of these things combined since I do not wash my clothes after every wear. Does that become a problem? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-signature-scent-or-scents/page/3#post-73661 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 10:55:23 +0000 HannahC 73661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha, I finally get the joke - I went to Alan Cumming's site and watched the video. </p> <p>Caravan teas sounds delicious! I LOVE bergamot! Dash, I also wouldn't mind if my whole world had a scent of bergamot :)</p> <p>Lena - you know? I actually don't know whether I like vetiver! I have to try something vetiver-y asap. L'Heure Bleu, on the other hand, sounds like something I definitely wouldn't like, because I don't like anise.</p> <p>What do you think about Caron's perfumes? I have a sample of "Perfume Sacre", and I cannot make my mind about it. When I apply it, I like the scent, but it is not something I have an irresistible urge to re-apply or re-sniff all the time. Is it just the way it smells on me? </p> <p>And, what about musk in perfumes? I have Frederick Malle's Musk Ravageur, and it is beautiful, but somehow it is not a perfume I want to wear for the whole day, if this makes sense. Not because I suffer from the scent, but because it somehow doesn't fit in. I like to apply it before I go to bed, so that I can sniff it before I fall asleep. </p>
