That's how Portrait of a Lady and, in fact, many Frederic Malles are. It's not a house that is easy to love on the first try. I know I certainly didn't get them at first. But something kept making me come back to them, and now it's one of my top three houses. Still, Portrait of a Lady's drydown is a disappointment to me.

Today is Christian Dior Bois d'Argent because it's amazing, and I haven't worn it since the very beginning of the month.

Firstly, thank you for sharing the memories about your brother. It is very comforting to find a scent which reminds you of someone you love.

I might give POAL another go. It reminds me a little of Serge Lutens Féminité du Bois, which I love.

Robert Piguet Baghari: Glorious! The opening threw me off a little -- lots of aldehydes -- but it settles down quickly into a beautiful fragrance that can be enjoyed for hours and hours. The aldehydes soften and the perfume sort of mellows and becomes warmer and radiates off the skin and smells wonderful. It is sometimes compared to Chanel No. 5, but I think I might actually prefer Baghari.

Mad Madame by JhaG...still not sure about it. Some of my parfum-group say that they smell stable and I think I know what they mean. Other talk about a loud but elegant rose. And I can relate to both groups :D

Mood, basically. I don't let weather keep me from wearing something I'm in the mood to wear. If the weather seems a bit wrong for something heavier, I just modulate the power of the fragrance with the number of sprays. Some people keep fresh florals for spring and summer, but I sometimes love wearing them in the dead of winter. They can be a very nice change from the warm and spicy fragrances I typically gravitate to particularly when it's cool out. And then some fragrances that people think are only appropriate for fall or winter are things I really like for warm summer nights.

Geography plays a part in that. If it were left up to me I would wear Alfred Sung all year long, but if I squirt my wrist once in the dead of summer I'll almost pass out. I've even tried the ankles because fragrance rises. It's a nope on that too. The humidity of my location does not permit it.
