Yes! It was Coromandel (and Amouage Interlude, I believe) that really helped turn me on to patchouli. Since then, I've become more interested and willing to try fragrances where patchouli plays a bigger role. I used to have absolutely no interest in Frederic Malle Monsieur., but now I love it.

That Lutens sounds wonderful. I wish it were easier to try those where I live, but our Barney's closed down.

Yeah, Coromandel is a beauty. :smile: I am curious to try the parfum version which was released this year, I think.

As for samples.......sigh. The Macys that is close to me has a pretty limited selection of even the regular lines (forget niche choices). Last time I checked, they did not have any version of No. 19 at the Chanel counter. I had to go to the Saks that is further away from me to try the current EDT. That is where I go now if I want to sample niche perfumes in person; there's also a Nordies and Neiman's in that area. But even they don't carry all the lines, like Frederic Malle for instance.

And I am thinking I should probably check out the decant sellers like Surrender to Chance for slightly larger spray samples. The samples I've currently ordered online come in these teeny tiny vials without a sprayer, and while I like dabbing my parfums, it would be nice to have the option of a larger-sized sample spray when one is testing out a perfume.

Indigo Parfumerie puts their samples in spray vials. I haven’t ordered anything from them but was thinking about doing so for just this reason.
SOTD = Serge Lutens Feminite du Bois

Thank you for this. I will check them out the next time I order samples. I am eagerly looking forward to receiving the samples I've ordered, despite the fact that they have to be dabbed rather than sprayed. :biggrin:

Scent of the day: Caron Parfum Sacre. :heart:

25 degrees with a high of 45 today, so it's perfect weather for Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur.
