Fragrance Junkie Central

[Mochapj]

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!

@tsavorite I don't think I knew that! But I don't remember that far back haha. 

[tsavorite]

Who can, @Samtian , who can?  😉

[Titian06]

@Samtian - I figured something was going on since all their perfumes were on sale.  This is so sad!  AC is one of my favorite brands and I think it was the first full size I bought.

[Samtian]

@Titian06 Ooh which one was that?

[Titian06]

@Samtian - Pomelo Paradise 🏝

[MvLL]

@Titian06 maybe you already noticed that the L.A-based B.Habit is still selling-off their AC stuff. The 100 and 30ml of Pomelo Paradis Cologne Absolue appear as being available. Cheers!

[Samtian]

@Titian06 ooh nice!

[MvLL]

Indeed, it's a sad, somewhat abrupt de-camp. I feel badly for the many A.C. fans. @Samtian 

Didn't they have a special engraving-service in a few S. locations? Foggy recollection of seeing display in a Montréal S., late 2018. I never bought any A.C., as I've been happy with my btl.of Iris Nobile Aqua di Parma (now also n/a, d/c). Silver Iris sounds intriguing though.

They had the leather embossing at several Sephoras, complimentary with in store purchases on their leather cases. They had it at the BIC launch party in Hollywood in 2017? and gave us a free 1 oz of Clementine California with the embossing. I still have mine, I’ll have to find a pic from that party! @MvLL 

[Samtian]

@MvLL I have no idea, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. They always had it available free with your online order.

In addition to the 3 Tom Ford rose perfumes (which are permanent), there is also a discovery set (which is limited) and I believe a Nordstrom exclusive 

 

[heartsmyface]

@Mochapj   I just saw that on the Sephora website the other day. https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/tom-ford-roses-discovery-set-P481400?skuId=2544880&icid2=produ...

[ragdoll4mom]

@Mochapj Do you know when this set will be available?  I couldn't find it online at Nordstrom.

[RavenR]

@ragdoll4mom  I see it available at Neiman Marcus, Saks, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, Luckyscent, Nordstrom, Tom Ford...

[ragdoll4mom]

@RavenR Thank you. I was being an eager beaver and searching before it was made available.

[pocketvenus]

@ragdoll4mom @Mochapj If you're Canadian, Holt Renfrew is carrying it

[Mochapj]

Thanks @pocketvenus so is Nords and Saks for Canada. Not sure about who is in the US, though.

[Mochapj]
