What did you all wear this week?
Caron pour un Homme in the morning today, now changed to Zagorsk and drinking green tea with vanilla. Have a nice sunday
Oh I love Caron pour un Homme. Your green tea sounds delicious! I’m just having my morning coffee now. Hope you have a great Sunday, too!
As always beautiful choices, Caitlin! I am intrigued about the Tendre Madeleine…it used to sell for a song but it is very rare now I think. Does it smell like marzipan? Also, that Cristalle looks vintage…that is my favorite Cristalle (the vintage one…I wore it in the late 70s when it was full of oakmoss!).
I will try to remember what I wore this week without checking Australian Perfume Junkies where I usually post my SOTD…..Casablanca, Blackberry & Bay, Aloha Tiara and Brigitte (a custom scent made for me by Sarah Horowitz circa 1998).
I ordered my Tendre Madeleine off of Amazon, believe it or not! This was back in 2014. It was $25 and I couldn’t pass it up. Yes, from what I understand it has become more rare now. It really mimics a baking madeleine smell! It’s very zesty citrus in the top notes, then some cinnamon, before it settles into a vanilla/almond.
I had such a hard time tracking down Cristalle! I wanted the EDT specifically. Even the Chanel website didn’t have the size I wanted at the time. I ended up ordering this from Nordstrom. I believe it would have been in 2017. The batch is older, I’m guessing. I doubt this is one that Chanel has to produce as often as Coco Mademoiselle, for example.
I didn’t know you had your own Sarah Horowitz scent! How lovely!! Great choices as well. Blackberry & Bay is great this time of year!
Love your weekly pictures!
Do you own and wear perfumes from decants, or do you only do bottles?
Most of the last week I tested perfumes from the Vanilla collection of Sylvaine Delacuorte trying to decide if I want to get a bottle of 1 perfume that I really like (but it’s 100 ml!), or if there are 2 more I might want – so that I could do a split of 4 7.5 ml travel bottles. It’s much more expensive per ml but I don’t really need more than that of 1 perfume, and there’s a 30% off coupon. I tried NST’s split thread but got just 1 taker, so I’m back to thinking about just getting a FB…Decisions, decisions…
Thank you, Undina!
I do wear perfumes from decants, but I have so many bottles right now!! I’m prioritizing wearing my bottles and I’d like to finish a couple up. But I’m not at all opposed to wearing scents from larger samples or decants!
Ah, I liked what I tested from Sylvaine Delacourte, but I’m not sure I found a full bottle love from the vanillas. I agree, the 100 ml bottles are a lot! Both in terms of money and investing your time into wearing and using up the bottle.
