Etat Libre d'Orange

I've been on an orange blossom kick lately.  I've been making samples of various fragrances for someone at work.  I had a mini of ELDO Divin'Enfant  and was, like hmmmmm.  I gave my co-worker the mini and decided to order a full bottle (50 ml).

Now that I have a full bottle, though, I'm not getting much orange blossom and it comes across kinda screechy.  Well, I'll give it more time but for the time being I'm not convinced.

I also ordered a bottle of Une Amourette  -- Roland Mouret (30 ml) blind.  It's got a bunch of great reviews and thought it might be worth it.

I've not given it a full wearing yet, but, from what I've smelled it seems kind of buttery. Kind of like La Fin du Monde in a way.

Anyway, I like the brand and am glad I'm trying more.

Ummagumma

Continuing with my love of Bruno Fazzolari scents, I picked up Ummagumma (30 ml). I was expecting it to smell sort of like Cadavre Exquis, but no. It is sweet but not that sweet.

It does have chocolate, but the tobacco and leather kind of cut it. To be honest, I've never been much of a Pink Floyd fan, so that part doesn't really resonate with me (reminds me of my troubled teens).  I did get the poster as well!

I finally got a bottle of Comme des Garçons Jaisalmer (50 ml). I was not expecting to like it much and it is actually quite a beautiful incense.

It's really weird but the staff at Barneys always seems to steer me away from Comme des Garçons, so I ordered it online.

I got a travel size of Frédéric Malle Monsieur. (10 ml).  It kind of reminds me of Comme des Garçons Luxe: Patchouli, although not quite as interesting. I guess extra added levels of patchouli don't make that much of a difference. 10 ml will last me quite a while.

I did get another but I want to devote more space to it, so I'll have another post.
