Fragrance Junkie Central

I know there are a few of us on BT that are fragrance addicts, so I thought it would be nice to have a dedicated place where we can share our thoughts.

 

This is not to take away from the lovely What Are You Wearing Today, Fragrance Edition thread, but more a place to post longer reviews, chat about new brands or releases, and just shoot the breeze on anything good and smelly 🙂

 

For me, I recently acquired 2 new decants that I've been anxiously awaiting.  Ever since Lachaton mentioned that MMM was releasing a new scent called By The Fireplace I've been itching to get my hands on it.  My decant arrived yesterday, so I'm looking forward to marinating in it this weekend.  Secondly, I recently picked up a tiny sample of Shiseido Nombre Noir.  Supposedly it is one of the most expensive failures in perfume history - made by Serge Lutens for Shiseido back in the 80s.  Of course, with a backstory like that, I was dying to get a sniff 😄

 

What's new on your scent radar?  Do tell!

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

definitely one of my favorites and it has been my go-to scent this season when i am indecisive about what to put on. 🙂

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

Me!!!! It's my favorite discovery this year 😄

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

it's my mom's new favorite !

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

Hautelook is doing a Penhaligon's sale 🙂

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

Soooo I finally tracked down a couple of vials of Aerin Rose de Grasse. 

 

Sadly, second time around, I can still barely smell this on my wrist. It's better than the last time when I smelled absolutely nothing, but it's been 30 minutes and it's basically faded from my wrist.

 

I'm going to wear it normally tomorrow and see how it goes. Smell-wise, I still very much prefer JM Red Roses!

 

Edited to add: 2 hours later, the scent is completely gone from my wrists 😞

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

here is katie puckrik's review of etat libre d'orange's sécrétions magnifiques. i'm cry laughing. 

 

NOOOOOO WHHHHYYYYYY

 

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

...crabs gone nuclear living in industrial waste that's gushing from sort of factory that's filled with disease. lol 

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

That video just made my day.

You can't fake a reaction like that!!! LOL

 

Now i'm really curious...

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

This is absolutely hilarious. Thank you for sharing.

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

I adore Katie Puckrik's videos. I'm sad she hasn't uploaded in a long time too!

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

I haven't even finished watching it yet, but OMG.

 

WHHHHHYYYYYYYYY?????

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

i'm binging her videos right now before i go into work; incredibly enjoyable. bummed to see she hasn't uploaded in over a year. 

 

i seem to be drawn to similar things to her (but she's more refined and specific). 

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

I'm wearing Jo Malone Red Roses with a bit of their English Pear & Freesia layered on top. I'm in rose heaven.

 

I love this rose scent so much I'm thinking about getting the bath oil. Thoughts about this product? How many drops do I put in and how long should I expect a little bottle to last?

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

your layering of the two scents sounds absolutely heavenly indeed! i must try this in the future.

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

Thanks! I can't take credit for what I layered it with, the SA gave me a couple of samples that she thought would work well with the rose. I got a sample of Blush Peony and Suede as well!

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

I love Blush Peony and Suede! Fruity florals aren't usually my favourite, but I quite like this one. I like to layer it with Wood Sage and Sea Salt!

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

I love both samples that the SA gave me! I'm tempted to go back to Holt Renfrew and smell ALL of the JM scents.

When I picked up Red Roses I only smelled the floral ones.

 

There was...Tuberose Angelica? or something like that? That one sounded pretty but it almost knocked me out (I think it was part of the intense line or something?)

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

I loooove the bath oil. It doesn't have a dropper though, and I like mine heavily scented... nor do I use it regularly (it's a special occasion bath oil for me). 

 

I'd say you can make it last as long as you'd like, depending on how much you use. I tend to just pour a little in the water. I've had mine for a few months, and I'm only halfway through it. 

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

Thanks! Do you have the full sized bottle, or the little one?

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

Full size 🙂 

Re: Fragrance Junkie Central

I'm sooo tempted! Maybe I will buy the smaller size to do a trial, and get the larger if I love it (which I'm sure I would).

 

I rarely take baths which is where my hesitation comes from...maybe once a month 😞 I prefer quick showers!
