Smelled on the Street

[Pippin06]

Monday in the market a man, vying for attention was wearing lashings of Kiehl's Musk.
everywhere I went he hovered - had he back off I would have complimented his scent.
a~~

I can relate. My wife and I were out to dinner the other night--enjoying a lovely evening in the restaurant's garden, when a young guy walked by--and stood near us while waiting for his table--with so much
Bleu de Chanel on, I thought the sky was going to turn from dark back to blue.

The stench of Sauvage at the airport and during the flight. 🤦‍♂️

Another reason not to fly.

Wow, seriously impressed tonight, don't usually get such refined taste in my village on a Friday night! Casually dressed dude was rocking vintage Chanel Egoiste EDT, just enough to be quite strong but certainly not overpowering from four feet away. Respect! 👍

Got a strong dose of Diptyque Volutes at a wedding. Not sure who was wearing it but that was one heck of a strong projection ad nauseum

I always find it a pleasure when individuals choose to wear iconic classics.

Boss Bottled in its regular EDT version (or at least a very good, almost identical clone of this at worst) while waiting in line at the cash register of a local store today.

With the warmer weather, I'm smelling a lot more fragrances - which is usually a pleasurable experience.

There's a certain floral-spicy thing that women seem to be wearing at the moment, of a range of ages. No idea what it is, it's quite nice though.

I still get the ambroxan-oriental bomb, usually on men, far more often than I would like. Also the lads who work at my nearby co-op use far too much of a mix of dark blues and some sort of ambroxany fougere - not bad, but that much ambroxan in an enclosed place smells fucking awful. Save it for summer days/nights out.

I smelled what I'm sure was Philosykos or Premier Figuier (probably the former) on a SE Asian woman today and it was lovely in the air. It reminded me how much of a shame it was I never found a suitably masculine fig fragrance, as it's a lovely note. It suited her well.

I also smelled a lovely vintage-smelling floral-spicy oriental on a woman a week or so ago. It was fantastic, smelled like a Guerlain or possibly a Chanel, but I couldn't be sure. Certainly had a timeless/non-modern smell to it. I regret not asking her what it was as it was beautiful - a very well balanced feminine.

Uber driver is wearing something generically blue and fresh but the sillage is mild and I'm not hating it.

Black Orchid on several people recently.
Most memorably on someone in a supermarket.

Walking down the high street to get some groceries, passed a small group of people watching preparations for the town gala week : Gucci Guilty Absolute. So unexpected; most unusual for this small town.

BR540 on a colleague

I smelled Aventus on the mail delivery carrier today.

I smelled Aventus on the mail delivery carrier today.

About or two years ago I sold a 100ml bottle of Aventus and it went "missing" in the post.

I'm not suggesting anything, but...
