Hello Humans!

It's time to tell Basenotes Robot what you're wearing today!

Don't forget you can also log your SOTD here.

Check out today's Birthdays.


Today I am wearing: Indiscret by Lucien Lelong



By the way, I have moved the older FFD SOTD discussions to here, to give you some more room to talk about perfume

Morning all!

(((((@Kotori)))))

Welcome back @foxbins, love the pic. More, please!

Our clocks went forward last night for the start of "British summertime", so l'm a little bleary-eyed after losing an hour's sleep, but looking forward to walking home from work in daylight later.

l'm wearing Flower Market for another long shift today, & there's probably only one or two wears left in my bottle...

 

[donna255]

Hello all.

Ligea "La Sirena" by Carthusia

For some unknown reason, I had this marked as owned when I still own it? Perhaps I was going to give it away and then changed my mind? Who knows.

 

[JON RODGERS]

Good morning all !. Sending positive vibes to (((Kotori))).

Open-mouthed at the utter devastation following the tornado in Mississippi. Mother Nature really can be a cruel and indiscriminate mistress 😲

Amouage Lyric.

 

[ineespenes]

Good morning everyone I see I haven't been updayed on what's going on here the last few days.... I will do something about that when I get home later today Sotd is 31 Rue Cambon edp.
I will try to add a picture from Gryllefjord, where we are.... Hope it works

 

[Franco65]

Let the Sunshine In.....

 

[sakecat]

Weekend synching with Malin + Goetz Stem

Today - I'm getting more floral notes than stem notes.
Becomes a fancy airy floral soap after an hour on my skin.
For fancy airy floral soap - it's not bad.
I'm just not a fan of perfumes that mimic fancy airy floral soap.

At least my skin isn't doing anything tragic to Stem - unlike many other fragrances in this category where the base feels like someone is suffocating me with orange Dial bar soap.

I guess that's a win.

Hello and best to everyone. 🫂❤️ Joining the Chanel wearers with N° 22 today.

 

[strangelight]

First time properly wearing Le Cri (Parfum d'Empire).
Unfortunately, I'm finding my opinion unchanged from when I first tried this in that I love the first 10 minutes in all their sparkling iris glory, but then rose comes fully to the forefront as the dominant note for me, and I guess my ambivalence about rose leaves me underwhelmed by the scent as a whole.
The opening really is so beautiful though, I wish it lasted longer.
@tdem1961 I really need to try 22 now that I've gotten over my aldehyde-phobia. Do you like any of the current/recent formulations?

 

[Kiliwia]

Good morning! Wearing Creed Wind Flowers from a decant.



Have a nice Sunday!

 

[cologne connoisseur]

Tabarome

 

[JoM68]

Good afternoon all. I completely forgot the clocks changed and woke up at the usual time, but late. It's quite odd and has left me feeling a little bamboozled.

Trying 4160 Tuesdays - Paris 1948, as a weekend sync choice. A chypre re-imagining of a classic french perfume. Peach is quite dominant, though to my nose not true peach. I am hoping that will lessen as it dries down, not that it's unpleasant, but with a woody, mossy addition, a little odd.

Hugs to those that need it and hope that today is a better day.

Hi @strangelight, my 22 is edt from Les Exclusifs, and I’ve had this bottle since I think 2012 or so. I haven’t tried current or recent but I’d be curious - I say give it a shot. 😊

[CookBot]

Foxbins, wonderful photo. I wouldn't have thought that tigers lounged in rivers. I'm with Teardrop: more photos please. And I hope you got to experience some great Indian food, too.

It's raining here today, in that perfect spring way -- soft, slightly warm, nothing stormy about it. In searching for something for the weekend sync, I was surprised by how many appropriate green florals and chypres I had, given my self-described floraphobia. I pulled out a bunch to go through them this week, and am starting with an old favorite: original "Y" by Yves Saint Laurent, a scent that goes all the way back to high school for me. My best friend, whose family was rich while mine was poor, had "Y" and various Diors on her dresser, which were a revelation to me after a lifetime of Avon.

Green, bright, buoyant, hopeful. Just like spring.

 

[NGC_6475]

hi all,

wearing Extrême Pureté by Grès. Fresh figs and tobacco leaves, a soft and good-humoured scent, with just a touch of sweetness.

The morning started with a big storm and thunder, and then after the rain, the sun poured down and now the garden is bathing in bright, vibrant shades of green. It's spring at last

 

[Trilby Lark]

I'm wearing my favorite Sunday scent - Le Lion de Chanel.

I'm excited to be going out to dinner tonight with my favorite brother in-law and his fiancée. They're so much fun!

 

[foxbins]

@CookBot (where did your punctuation go?) and @teardrop. Tigers like water and swim well. I have a photo of one with just his head sticking up out of the pond but it's taken from far away, so I won't post it. The first two lodges I stayed had okay food, but the third lodge had a great chef and meals were delicious. I love mutton and ate lots of it, and had paratha paneer rolls for lunch when they were an option. I did eat a steak when I got home Here's a tiger in the road. My jet lag is improving so I might wear something light, like Kyoto.

 

[30 Roses]

Hi everyone,

It's a sunny warm day. Very spring-like! I'm wearing Crabtree & Evelyn Lily of the Valley-- the 1990s version.

 

[CookBot]

Here's a tiger in the road.

Even without anything else in the photo for perspective, he looks so massive. And thrilling.

@CookBot (where did your punctuation go?)

It misbehaved and got banned.

 

[CookBot]

wearing Extrême Pureté by Grès. Fresh figs and tobacco leaves, a soft and good-humoured scent, with just a touch of sweetness.

I was just reading about this on the F-word site. It sounds very interesting: fresh tobacco with citrus, fig and cinnamon? I feel like it would either be really great or revolting.

For me, it has a similar vibe as Voyage d'Hermès

Interesting! For me, Voyage is all about cardamom.

 

[NGC_6475]

Interesting! For me, Voyage is all about cardamom.

this one has no cardamom, but still there is some cinnamon and spice... and it has figs instead of juniper. I'm not saying these two scents have a lot in common, but I do find the vibe is somehow similar. for me, anyway.

Chanel Bois Noir later today

 

[kosui no kaori]

Good afternoon …

Your photos are captivating, @foxbins! Such beautiful creatures.

More spring cleaning today, between my own home and my mother’s.

Today is the first warm(ish) today we’ve had so far, at 60 degrees. It certainly feels like spring - I’m wearing Un Jardin Sur Le Toit.

Have a great day!

Wearing Estée Lauder vintage Alliage. Love this 70's classic green beast.

[Shycat]

(((@Kotori ))) I am sorry for your loss, and sorry for how shocking it is. Because it is shocking, a betrayal of our expectations and sense of security in our life's contract. Hugs to you, virtual hugs, but know if I were there the hugs would be real.

sotd : Polo Blue

 

[Twiggy]

Good evening everyone, My sote is this- A real white Jade Orchid (as known as white champaca) natural fragrance.

It’s beautiful! I am in heaven now.

 

[N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer]

I'm doing a late sync with Creed Aubepine Acacia.

 

[mikeperez23]

I only wore the scent I sprayed on at Aesop the new one, coming out next month: Gloam. It did not grab me, but I am looking forward to testing it again. Notes are listed here on Now Smell This.

Nonetheless, the Sales Associates at the Aesop store were so sweet and so interested to hear my thoughts on the other fragrances in their line that I like. I don't think they get a lot of male fragrance enthusiasts in there.
