2+ wears of Dylan Purple and My Way to finish up some samples.

I should do a better job of tracking wears for the things I don't track in Basenotes because I'm layering or spraying at night:
- L'Interdit Rouge is currently in rotation as my night scent (because I want to smell like a root beer float)
- La Vanila Pure Vanilla is in rotation as a layering scent for anything that needs more vanilla.
- Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry was my "finish the bottle" focus for the month. I also used this for layering. Now complete.

Our May started cool, but it's slowly getting warmer.
My mind is definitely set on summer already, it's all about citruses and neroli with a dash of light woods, fresh florals and some fruit:

My May Most Worn:
7 wears:
Neroli Amara by Van Cleef & Arpels
4 wears:
4711 Remix Cologne 2018 by 4711
Les Amoureux de Peynet by Molinard
3 wears:
Bigarade Jasmin by Fragonard
Nectar Blossom & Pomelo by Artistry Studio (Amway)
Cedre Atlas by Atelier Cologne
2 wears:
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic, Insolence EDT, La petite robe noire Black Perfecto EDP, La petite robe noire eau fraiche, Molinard Citrus Noir, Hermes Eau de Neroli Dore, Gucci Guilty Absolute pour femme, Lolita Lempicka Oh Ma Biche, Artistry Studio Plum Blossom & Vanilla Musk, Violet Sketch.

I can only see this trend continuing for three more months (although I might start hearing some woods, musks or incense calling me by the second half of August when it's heading autumnwards). I'm very looking forward to summer. I'm already wearing t-shirts everywhere even if it's still a bit too chilly without a jumper or a sweater, I don't care.

My Spring Most Worn:

13 wears:
Neroli Amara by Van Cleef & Arpels
10 wears:
Les Amoureux de Peynet by Molinard
8 wears:
Gucci Guilty Absolute pour femme
7 wears:
Nectar Blossom & Pomelo by Artistry Studio (Amway)
6 wears:
4711 Remix Cologne 2018 by 4711
Iris Rebelle by Atelier Cologne
Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT
Artistry Studio Plum Blossom & Vanilla Musk
5 wears:
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic
Cedre Atlas by Atelier Cologne
Fils de Joie by Serge Lutens
Oh Ma Biche by Lolita Lempicka
Omnia by Bvlgari

My spring is mostly my moderate-weather and subtle office-suitable frangrances with some odd floral ornament and, of course, with citrus on top! This list looks happy to me.

All single wears, lots of florals and light summer citruses when the temperatures were very high. Now for June I'm looking forward to even more citrus, Hermessences, and other scents that wear lightly in the heat. I might break out the coconut, too.

Van Cleef & Arpels First EDT was my most worn, I think. Good, characterful narcissus chypre, crisp and alert, though sometimes it feels a bit disjointed to me - like the higher pitched floral notes are starting to hiss and separate out from the body of the perfume as a whole.

Also, I have a newbie question. How do you actually track this stuff?

Hello and welcome to Basenotes!

There are two parts of tracking:
First, when you wear a scent, pick I am wearing this.... Option on this site each time (no worries, you can fix the hour or date later if you want to later add things that you wore 2 days ago for example). You can do this by a) going to this perfume's page and clicking Currently wearing... Or b) through your own Wardrobe (you have to put things first there of course).

Then, after wearing and logging things for a while, you can see your stats! Do you see the section named SOTD above? It means "scent of the day". Here you can see a) what have you worn recently and all your wears ever from today to your first day here; and b) statistics of your most worn today, this week, this month, last 3 months, yearly and overall.
In this thread we usually post our monthly stats!
