I never like to leave things on a bad note and considering my review of the previous fragrance, I thought I would lighten things up a bit with a bubbly poll! I will randomly draw a response to receive a large sample of my By Kilian fragrance, Liaisons Dangereuse, which has now made it to the West coast! (Lucky Scent and Apothia both stock them now.)
1. Of the fragrances you have tested in the last month, how many full bottles have you purchased?
2. If you received a sample from BodyNew, do you like it? If so, what do you like about it? (If you do not know what this is referring to, just reply n/a.)
3. What is your favorite aspect of this time of year?
4. What is your favorite flower that blooms this time of year?
5. If you were to characterize yourself by a fragrance category (spicy/woodsy/floral/chypre/green/fresh/gourmand), which one would it be and why?
My answers:
1. 0
2. I loved sharing!
3. Birdsongs most of the morning and baby quail
4. Honeysuckle
5. Floral simply because I adore floral fragrances and I enjoy being a woman

4. Again, so many! Can't resist the smell of hyacinths, either.
5. I have loves that span genres, but am especially drawn to spicy, woodsy scents. I like the deep basenotes in wood & incense fragrances.
1. Full bottles - 0. I did purchase the roller balls of Carolina Herrerra 212 and the original Stella by Stella McCartney. (I'm a fan of rollers, since I hardly ever use up an entire bottle!)

Hello Risa,
ReplyDeleteI see you in Orientals so that is very fitting! Enjoy the breezes. :-)
Hello Anita!
ReplyDeleteI have been wearing Marc Jacobs Blush lotion intermittently and I agree it is a beautiful fragrance. Ten dollars is a steal! That reminds me, I should have added TJ Maxx and Marshall's to my tip on buying because great deals can be found there! For woodsy/incensey have you yet tried Dark Amber & Ginger Lily from Jo Malone? It has that deep resonating feel about it.
Toasty,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you! Stella is a fab choice and I like roller balls as well, since you know I'm a fan of smaller sized fragrances. I adore open windows as well, although I have to admit our air-conditioning is on already due to 90+ degree weather. But the month that we were able to open our windows was glorious!
Edwardian,
ReplyDeleteViolaciocca must be a type of violet, eh? Never have I seen flowers more beautiful than those of Sicily and Northern Italy! I believe Vol de Nuit would fall in the "audacious chypre" category. Hehe. I'm sure you wear it well.
1. Cuir de Lancome
ReplyDelete2. n/a
3. Sitting under a tree and watching the green leaves move in the wind, also the rolling green grass in the wind.

Thanks for the chance to play.

Hello Jenavira!
ReplyDeleteYour "under a tree" image is beautiful.
Italian Girl,
ReplyDeleteI remember those weeks on end where we didn't see the sun in Chicago. It inspired me to move! Hehe. Lilacs are my favorite flower that blooms where you live. Unfortunately, here they're no where to be found. :(
Dsb,
ReplyDeleteGreat find at Marshall's once again! Spring rainstorms are so comforting.
Hello Claudia!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day. Great choices!
Ines,
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! Ananas Fizz is a perfect full bottle choice for this time of year since it will last through the summer as well!
Good Morning Kim,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I'll have to check into Parure. I'd not heard of it before your comment.

Oops. :) I realized while I was lying in my bed that the fact I'd like to buy a fragrance from A. Goutal makes me attribute everything to her. :) My Ananas fizz is L'Artisan Parfumeur - sorry. :)
ReplyDeleteInes,
ReplyDeleteNot a problem at all. I knew what you meant! :-)
Hello Elaine!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing.
