Louis Vuitton Contre Moi. I swear it smells better & stronger than when I first got it years ago... I remember needing a couple of sprays but now just one does it.

Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule sample: Not sure about this one. I was expecting it to be a rich, deep fragrance with smooth, creamy sandalwood and a dark velvety rose with some cocoa. Instead, the opening is somewhat jarring, and while I do get a lot of sandalwood from the get go, the quality of the sandalwood could be better. The rose is airy and bright, and I don't smell any cocoa. Overall, the fragrance gets better towards the drydown and I might try it again in the summer to see if my impressions have changed.

Interesting. I've been wondering about that one.

Today is Christian Dior Ambre Nuit.

Yes, Santal Majuscule was a bit of a disappointment. I think one of the issues I had with it was the sandalwood note itself. It's a bit sharp/synthetic, especially in the opening. However, that phase does not last too long, and it does smooth out and becomes more natural smelling as it evolves. Still, it detracted a little from the overall enjoyment of the fragrance.

However, the perfume I am wearing today - Borneo 1834 - more than lived up to my expectations. It's fantastic! I wore it yesterday and I am wearing it again today.
In the first hour or so, I get mostly patchouli and to me, it's a very wearable patchouli. Then slowly, the cocoa, which was faint in the early stages increases and they pair together beautifully. It lasts a long time on the skin and it smells gorgeous and gets cozy in the far drydown. The labdanum is not very prominent, but I sense its presence in the drydown.

I didn’t like Santal Majuscule either. It was synthetic and not memorable. What I really like is Santal Mysore. Will get it next time I go to Tokyo
