Hello Fellow Fumies,
Once a week here on Australian Perfume Junkies we have a Question, an idea purloined from Olfactoria’s Travels. Everyone gets to chime in with an answer, chat with other responders and it is generally a fun event each week. Taking sides never means taking offence and everyone keeps it respectful and light, even though we can sometimes trawl the depths.
The idea is you’ll see it on the weekend or chime in through the week. Hopefully you will come back and see if anyone has responded to your comment and you can reply to them.
Over 100 responses I will draw a $10 Surrender To Chance Gift Card.
Over 200 responses I will draw a $20 Surrender To Chance Gift Card.
Comment purposefully on yours or anothers comment & you’ll have a chance, random.org will draw on Friday.
Last Weeks Winner: Didn’t make 100
Saturday Question: What 4 Would You Rebuy First?
There’s been a terrible drama and your whole perfume collection has been lost. Thank goodness it was heavily insured and you will get your money back within the month to start rebuilding your collection. Nothing else was lost, hurt or broken and everyone is safe so you’re not mourning anything except your fabulous fragrance collection. You are given a certificate that allows you to rebuy any FOUR fragrances from your collection. There’s no price limit but you must have had a bottle of the fragrance in your current collection. They can come from different places and the magic of this certificate is that no matter where the fragrance is in the world it will be in your hands tomorrow morning, first thing. So you’ll not be without perfume for your daily rituals.
My Answer:
Mitsouko EdT by Guerlain:
I’m feeling guilty because I’ve picked Mitsouko over Shalimar but I think right now that Mitsouko would be the one I’d like to have on hand. That gorgeous fruity chypre, so sweet and so bitter. It could enfold me in its silky caress and keep me smelling beautiful.
Ashoka by Neela Vermeire Creations:
AHH the guilt is real. I feel like I’m cheating on Mohur but today I think the figgy woods of Ashoka are what I’d ask for. There’s something indomitable about this scent that I think could really help me through a crises. Let’s hope it’s never put to the test.
Eau Absolue by Mona di Orio:
The soft, sheer, glassy smoothness of Eau Absolue is magical. The resigns are perfectly balanced against the spicy fruit and flowers. I can never reconcile the note list and the scent here. What I smell is light warm rain, fresh thick cotton sateen sheets and endless snuggles.
Agent Provocateur Original:
Roses, saffron and woodsy amber. Agent Provocateur is a constant delight for me and punches well above its price range. Long lasting scented glamour that can be dressed up or down and seems to fit so many occasions. Let’s not forget too the sensual pleasure of the pink egg bottle, so cool.
My Question To You Is: What Would Be the First FOUR Fragrances You Would Rebuy?
Nooooo – not my collection. 🙂
1 l’eau d’Hiver by Malle – Iris and powder.
2 Rozy EDP by Vero – So sensual
3 No. 22 EDT (NOT EDP thank you) by Chanel – Aldehydes and flowers
4 Knightsbridge by Piguet – leather and rose

2. Coromandel in the new EdP formulation. Don’t get me wrong, I adore the EdT as well, but call me crazy – I have fallen more deeply in love with the sparkle of the new version.
3. L’Artisan Parfumeur Fleur d’Oranger 2005. This limited edition perfume is incredibly sentimental to me and is the most perfect orange blossom perfume that has ever existed.
4. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab – Monsterbait:Underpants. This perfume is liquid gold and insanely hard to find. Vanilla, sandalwood, and saffron. The aroma is indescribable. Totally addictive, pure delight. I would be furious about losing it!

Well, there are 3 that would always make the list: Chanel 19, vintage Chanel Coco and Shalimar, which like many of us I have in various strengths and vintages. The fourth is kind of seasonal and very hard to choose: Winter= DSH Inner Sanctum, Spring = En Voyage Fiore di Bellagio, Summer = Seville l’Aube, Fall = Imaginary Authors Memoirs of a Trespasser. For now, anyway.
PS I just received a package of vintage perfumes I bought on a Facebook group and one is a mini of original Obsession parfum. Omg, it smells so good that my eyes rolled back in my head and I feel unable to do anything but sniff my arm. So different from the harsher modern version. Any other fans?

2. Paul Schütze’s Tears of Eros. I can’t believe how much and how fast I grew to love this hyacinth beauty, all rich resiny incense and cold air. It gives me a lot of joy to wear this.
3. A vintage Miss Dior edt, for strength and merciless beauty.
the fourth is tricky: something calm? something pretty? something filthy? *another* chypre? something lush and pillowy? Hmm. Chergui, for the warm comfort?
4. oh! of course… Mitzah. (and it would almost certainly take magic to get me a replacement bottle of this.)
LikeLike
If it’s any comfort to know, Mitzah is not discontinued as has been so often rumored – it’s just exclusive to Dior France. From time to time it’s been unavailable there but never for long, and the SAs over there promise that’s only due to ingredient acquisition when it does happen. I know I rest a little easier knowing there is actually more to be had. ❤

It’s a hard question.

1. Lancome Climat (I have all possible concentrations and versions of it in my collection so I’d decide, which one of them to replace – if possible, a vintage one in perfect condition; if no – then La Collection EdP)
2. Ormonde Jayne Ta’if in either concentration
