Perfume diary: most worn January and February. March is here, so this is a little late, but I finally moved some things around over the weekend. I’m always organizing and reorganizing and hoping to move things so I reach for them and give them a good wear. That being said, I never plan what I’m going to wear in advance and it’s always what the mood is at that time. Anyone else? Anyway…
Chanel Paris-Venise. This arrived in January and I love wearing it. It’s a powdery vanilla that really works for cool weather especially if you don’t want anything too heavy. Honestly,I’ve worn it so much and I think I’m going to put it into the box and put it away for a while. This made my mornings and put me in such a good mood everyday. I love the fine mist, and the sweet lemon first thing in the morning. But it doesn’t last long, and by lunch, I’d find that it was basically a skin scent. I still love it and lasting power has no bearing on how good a fragrance is. It’s just the way it is. It’s fine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vintage Guerlain Samsara EDT. This is a heavy fragrance, and definitely not as worn as the Chanel because it’s so dense. I love it, and I want to get other versions of Samsara to try. If you’ve experienced them, let me know your favourite and why in the comments.
L’Artisan Parfumeur Coeur de Vetiver Sacre. I love this one too, it’s a bit of a tea scent, and it’s better in the summer so that’s when I’m going to wear it, so putting it away for a while.
Chronotope Perfumes Buen Camino. Lavender and immortelle make me adore this scent. I can wear a lot of this and not get sick of it.
Kayali Invite Only Amber 23. This is like a popular version of Serge Lutens Chergui, but with tobacco and a good puff of powder. Honestly, if you want a feminine sweet tobacco fragrance, try this one, it’s from Sephora so easy to order and sometimes it just hits the spot. This is my little 10ml mini. Isn’t she cute?
Anyway, I am going to put some of these away and change up this lineup a little. Actually the Chanel and the L’Artisan are going away and I’ll add something else in their place.
