What flowers are blooming where you live?

Tealight10 | Off Topic

... So much in bloom. I aim to cultivate a few fragrant familiars, herbal homies, as well as some nice natives.

Summer scents with ambergris?

Tealight10 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Silverrr "Ambre Suprême | Les Indémodables" Second. I wore this during some really warm summer evenings and felt fabulous. It has a subtle silky, salty quality that when combined with the florals is just gorgeous. Lusty.

Which notes do you avoid?

Tealight10 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... MorganleFay Tealight10 I’m sorry to say that I generally dislike iris as a prominent note. I am still exploring fragrances that include it in an effort to simply learn more but so far I’ve consistently found that I don’t enjoy it. If a fragrance includes it in a well-blended, supportive fashion (which is many) then I don’t mind so much. I recently sampled "Iris Cendré | Naomi Goodsir" and learned that a fragrance can actually make me feel deeply sad. Quite strange. Probably some unconscious associations going on. Alas. Wait! You're the first person besides myself I've heard express that a fragrance makes you sad. I had that response to "Coromandel (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel" - it's such a melancholic, wet patchouli - and it is married to orris. Coincidence? I just received a sample of "Coromandel (Eau de Parfum) | Chanel" and I will see how it lands. I was reminded of this discussion today because I found time to explore some Guerlain samples and had the same experience with iris again. "Shalimar (Eau de Parfum) | Guerlain" and "L'Heure Bleue (Eau de Parfum) | Guerlain" (which is famously melancholy)—both just left me treading water in a tide of sadness. So strange.

I need some advise on Niche perfumes

Tealight10 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... "Eau Capitale (Eau de Parfum) | Diptyque" is very pretty though I would not describe it as bright and definitely not green. It’s a classic patchouli rose with Diptyque’s typical signatures: wearable and elegant, moderate projection and good longevity. It definitely has vintage vibes and “signature scent” characteristics. "Portrait of a Lady (Eau de Parfum) | Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle" is also available at the site you shared. It is also a patchouli-rose but I would say more potent and complex. It’s a legend for a reason and worth a sniff.

Lemon or orange gourmand recommendations

Tealight10 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... "The Architects Club | Arquiste" is often mentioned in this way. A lemony vanilla cocktail. I had a sample and it does have some sweetness but not overtly gourmand.

... "Benjoin Bohème | Diptyque" Dry benzoin soliflore. It’s luxurious but light like a fine silk scarf. Says “I am serious about my craft but could be persuaded to call off and share an exotic cup of tea with a food friend.” Artist Leonor Fini pictured in her Paris studio, 1952.

Indie fragrance recommendations and how to start

Tealight10 | Perfume Recommendations

... Eris Parfums is an American indie brand aimed at revisiting vintage styles in innovative ways. The founder Barbara Herman is focused on animalic fragrances and she is collaborating with Antoine Lie who frequently works with musk. "Ma Bête | Eris Parfums" is probably the most animalic. My favorites from the line are "Night Flower | Eris Parfums" and "Scorpio Rising | Eris Parfums" I am also a little obsessed and intimidated by Bogue Profumo and Antonio Gardoni. I have samples of both "MEM | Bogue" and "Maai | Bogue" and they leave me a little speechless. Incomparable and otherworldly. Someday maybe I will be worthy. Discovery sets from either or both will be a fun adventure.

Looking for a Modern Take on Vintage

Tealight10 | Perfume Recommendations

... I often describe "Au Delà - Narcisse / Narcisse des Montagnes | Fzotic / Bruno Fazzolari" as classic and modern. It’s a white floral chypre—so vintage structure—but the notes are balanced in such a way that I find it to be more “modern” to my nose. And jfc is it beautiful. I cherish my bottle.

... I have a sample of "Olympic Rainforest | Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes" that I’m slowly acquainting myself with. The realism is quite striking.

Scent of the Day

Tealight10 | Perfumes & Brands

... "Au Delà - Narcisse / Narcisse des Montagnes | Fzotic / Bruno Fazzolari" “I smell freaking fantastic.” This is the thought that runs through my mind whenever I wear this and it is fragrance number one in this month’s rotation. I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks. An absolute banger of a white floral chypre. Perfect balance of heady indoles and fresh green-ness. Longevit y is impressive. I adore narcissus and here it is blended so beautifully with jasmine and neroli. I went on a chypre sample bender a few months ago trying to learn more about the structure and the role of oakmoss and that’s how I discovered Au Delá Narcisse. Far and away my favorite. Glamorous, cozy, slightly eccentric. I do, I smell freaking fantastic. Original print by perfumer Bruno Fazzolari, 2015.

Gold

Tealight10 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... I always describe "Ambre Suprême | Les Indémodables" as “golden.” Though not in the metallic sense. More in the vein of golden light, lucent—like sunlight on the sea. I think it’s the combination of ambergris, aldehydes, and indolic florals (jasmine and neroli). "Spell 125 | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" has ambergris and ylang-ylang which I sense also as adding a component of “golden light” to the composition. Lovely question. I’m curious to see how others respond.

Your favorite noses (and why)

Tealight10 | Perfumes & Brands

... Liz Moores - Every fragrance I’ve tried beckons me into a relationship I didn’t think I wanted. Each is always so much more than the first impression. They feel alive, complex, dynamic, mature, responsive, assertive, sensual. The time and care she puts into each composition becomes evident with each wear. I have: "Anubis | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" "Spell 125 | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" Working my way towards a full bottle of "Tobacco Rose | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" Her use of ambergris in particular is magical. In interviews, her point of view and dedication as an artist is clear and engaging.
