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!

Ooh, interesting..."feline sensuality"   @pixiedust2

[DaintyDiva]

I had no idea Kim Kardashian made fragrances - three more are being released in Feb. No clue what the notes are but the packaging is fun.

Looks like TF has a new flanker:

Eau de Soleil Blanc embodies a refreshing illumination on Private Blend Soleil Blanc, bright, crisp and drenched with sparkling citrus. The vibrant twist on the floral amber warmth mirrors the crystalline reflection of the white sun, a sensuous gleam of sky on water.

Ooh I want to try this!  Soleil Blanc is too much coconut for my preferences

Edit:  according to Fragrantica, there is no coconut or pistachio in this flanker  If its a generic citrusy floral I'll be a little disappointed 😕  Seems weird to call this a Soleil Blanc flanker when the main note is missing?

Love the frosted glass ❤️

I don't even know should I even post this... But, I will. For funsies. And, some staring. Ooo-ing and ahh-ing, and wtf-ing, too. I am sure most of us can just drool over these... 

From Fragrantica:

The first five bottles of the Mugler Premier Flacon D'Art collection, called "Nuages" ( clouds ).

Darn. €2900 is just a little out of my price range. These are stunning; I love the last one!

[Samtian]

Holy mackaroll.

[pocketvenus]

@txcatx 

LOL, just a tad over budget for me too 😛

[Samtian]

Ooh I want the second, third, and last one.

[6ixGirl]

@Samtian Same 😫 *despairing*

[veronika23]

Sooo beautiful @lyravega! Of course I want the one with the stars. Maybe one day if I'm rolling in money 😄

[lyravega]

I want the blue one ( the last one )!

Ohhh, one day, @veronika23 , one day... 😛 

If this is the "first five"... Curious to see the rest of them now.

[veronika23]

yes one day @lyravega! Curious as well to see the others too 🙂

Has any one had a chance to try the new Atelier Iris Rebelle yet? I’m really interested in it but am a little worried it will be a bit strong based on the description. There aren’t any rewiews up, I saw it online either yesterday or today. 

[moxiepancakes]

@alexasteph I tried it out in store the other day it's not overwhelming but it makes me think of carrots so its not something I would wear.  

[alexasteph]

@moxiepancakes I saw someone else say it smells like carrots... weird.
