I dumped every drop of Balenciaga perfume I had in the house. After what happened this month I won't be putting any of their products anywhere close to my body ever again. Chloe Nomade does not work for me either, but the Absolute version is an absolute fave. Still a Chypre, but more green and a much better fit for me.

Hello Cherie, you are certainly a lover of florals and chypre fragrances. It will be interesting to hear about what you gravitate to wearing over the hotter season. Have a good holiday weekend! Take care! - Jenn
I love Narcotic V- I will be picking up a bottle in the Spring. I also love Eau de Soir, it’s one of those in my collection that I don’t wear a lot but when I do, I enjoy it so much. I just bought a bottle of Chanel No 5 EDT, and it’s definitely become my favorite formulation. Happy Summer☀️ too you. The seasonality of fragrances is another aspect of this perfume hobby I truly love. I’m in Northern California near the coast where its cold and foggy, so I’m deep into the ambers in my collection (Grand Soir, Safari, Cairo, Oud for Greatness, Ex Nihilo’s Venenum Kiss, Lalique’s Encre Noire A L'Extreme) In between pulling for these denser scents I’ve been wearing Terre D’Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver, Bottega Veneta, BDK Gris Charnel, TF White Suede and I’m having an Iris moment with No19, Iris Poudre, and Feminin Pluriel. I have yet to find an Iris fragrance with any longevity. Does anyone knows of a good iris centric perfume that lasts? I would love any recommendations.
Hi Yana! Oooh love a good Amber they are so cozy to wear 😍 I think an Iris that I have which has good longevity is Violet Blonde by Tom Ford. It is now discontinued but I think it still pops up from time to time from secondhand sellers. Oh! And Iris Poudre by Frederic Malle is also quite long lasting on me.
Hi Cheri, love the choices! I’m with you on the Serge Lutens, I love Nuit de Cellophane. TF Soleil Blanc is a fav! I just came back from Florida I wore Tardes by Carner Barcelona. I live in NY so it was nice to wear something from my summer collection! Have a great week 🎉😊
I'm a Chypre lover too, and I agree that Eau du Soir can work in summer. On the other hand, I tried Nomade and it just doesn't translate as a Chypre to me. Something about the balance of notes in the accord is off to my nose. I'll be interested to see whether you find it works for you in summer!
Hi Cheri. Beautiful list. I've thought about getting rid of my florabotanica. I wish I had a little bottle though. But my big bottle, I don't think I can ever finish it. Ty ❤️🎄✨🦌

Oh what have I missed? What happened with Balenciaga?
Nomade Absolue is definitely on my to try now, thanks for sharing ☺️

That is appalling!! Thank you for sharing that with me I haven’t heard about this.

Hi Cheri ! I always come back to Terracotta for summer. I don't wear it often but for summer nights, this is the one I love to wear if I go out 🥰
I love soleil blanc always . Santal complet! So gorgeous
Goodness, I just discovered the mentions tab on youtube. Sorry, I'm such a newbie. Thanks for the mention, Cherie!
Haha all good, it took me 2.5 years to notice that! (And I still regularly forget to check)

I agree with you. The Chloe just didnt work for me, too fruity and too sour in the dry down.

Oh my gosh Gabriel essence is so stunning I think I ruined her for me with bad memories though I’m so upset about it
