Some new scents coming for Guerlain   

I wore Tauer's Lonestar Memories. The opening is unique and unexpected. It's a bracing, medicinal/herbaceous smoke that's a touch phenolic, but not as intense as some burning rubber scents like Bruno F's Lampblack. What I love is how it reads much cooler than a more typically warm, sweet/spicey smoke. The dry down is very beautiful in a rugged way. Not an easy one to pull off. 

Gucci II smells a lot like YSL Paris <3

Luckyscent has some new GWPs up including this really good Diptyque deal, 10ml Tempo eau de parfum travel spray, and 2ml samples of: Eau Duelle eau de toilette, Philosykos eau de toilette, Fleur de Peau eau de parfum, and Tam Dao eau de toilette with any US$125 purchase.

@bloemermama Lavanilla has great vanilla fragrances that you may like. 

@JavNasu3  Glad you figured it out! What was it?

Hi @Kxaia, @WinglessOne has some good suggestions! If you can't think of notes, try describing the vibe you want (sultry, girly, sophisticated, fresh, fun?) and maybe where you want to wear it?

Today's celebrity is French actress Catherine Deneuve who loves perfume <3 Her tastes run very feminine and polished. Perfumes she's mentioned includeFresh - Rose MenthéeJo MaloneFrédéric MalleGuerlain - L’Heure BleueAnnick Goutal - Sables (her first perfume)Serge Lutens - Ambre Sultan, Un Lys, Rose de NuitDiptyque - l’Ombre dans l’EauFrancis Kurkdjian's Lumiere Noire for Her is a rose-patchouli originally created as a bespoke scent for her. She also had her own scent Deneuve through Avon in the 80s. It was a green floral chypre. Online descriptions of it sound sooooo good. 

@RGbrownit does seem more like they just found a bunch...? I'm not really seeing it restocked anywhere else. I def know the feeling - I also thought about picking some up myself even though they're not my style!!

@ChrissyT35  Welcome to the fragrance addiction club.  To answer your question, for myself it is kind of like Lays potato chips: I can't wear just one.

Ulta has restocked all of the Nirvana scents! I kept checking TJM/Marshall's and had no luck, so I'm happy to see some inventory 😁

Yes. Distribution is a big thing in cosmetic. That's why even La Mer, Tom Ford and Frederic Malle are under Estee Lauder now.

@Hollizzieyou can always try your luck at a discounter like fragrancenet

Some great suggestions have already been made but here are some additional ones Tea vapour = Bvlgari Green Tea is a classic and there are others, Penhaligon's LothairChai = L'Artisan Parfumeur's Tea for Two, Serge Luten's Five O'Clock Au GingembreOolong = Mona di Orio's Bohea BohemeJasmine = Kilian's Imperial Tea is discontinued but there's another tea one I think?Smoky = Beaufort's Vi et Armis very strong and divisive so definitely sample first, Bvlgari's Black Tea is supposed to be really good but I haven't tried

Thank you !!!

@Vmastergood luck with scoring another vintage

A friend sent me some incense coils from Nippon Kodo in "aki nishiki" which means something about fall. It's a pleasant, spicy-sweet scent with a hit of creamy vanilla. I've never burned coils before but they seem to release more smoke. 30 minute burn. Very affordable too! 

Thanks a lot! I am going to NY I’ll take the sample with me and ask them!!

@LineHorslev, wow, I don't recognize most of the bottles in the second pic!!!

Groupon has E&J rollerballs on sale for $14.99 each.  

@jenndujour, thank you for posting this report and all the details about smelling the individual notes <3 Perfume blending is not as easy as blending paints. When you mix ingredients together, even if it's just in different ratios, the results can be really unexpected! Interesting to read she's a fan of Oud Wood!

@pinkwater2melonglad you found something you really like

@Mochapj, amazing! Natural extracts are the best materials to learn from!

@Carolina201Perhaps try DKNYs Be Delicious line? It is also apple-based.
