Chanel Bois des Iles today: Such a beautiful fragrance -- sandalwood and ylang ylang; bright with a touch of citrus, and smooth and creamy in the drydown.
Enjoying the scent of Lipstick Rose by Frederic Malle on a damp, overcast day. A creamy fragrance, reminiscent of makeup, with lots of violets and pink roses. Excellent longevity and sillage - my little spray will last a long time.
This is probably the most complex fragrance I've encountered. The drydown is completely different from the initial spritz. I did NOT like it at first - but after 30 minutes or so, it goes from a smoky/leathery/cognacy "kick in the nose" to a powdery vanilla scent (reminiscent of the discontinued Love, Chloé by Chloé).
