Hello Fellow Fumies,

Every Saturday 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 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.

Saturday Question: Currently High Rotation Perfumes?

High Rotation around here is not so very high but there is a tray in my wardrobe with some of the things I reach for most regularly. It has about 20 fragrances on it but I don’t reach for all of them weekly.

My Answer:

So the three that I reach for most at the moment seem to be

Hermès Monsieur Li:

Monsieur Li has been a favourite since I picked it up a gift pack on sale in Japan a few years ago. The refreshing, greasy citrus and cool water smell of it is both calming and centering. Perfect for the heat of summer here in Sydney.

CHANEL No 19 EdT:

I think most perfumistas have at least tried the elegant cool sophistication of CHANEL No 19. Awash in roses and iris with a mossy dry down that manages to be both comfortable and aloof. I can’t imagine summer without it.

Neela Vermeire Pichola:

Shimmering white flowers with green herbaceousness cutting through the creamy sensuality. Pichola is a perfect reflection of Pichola Lake in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. Having stayed at the lake Palace there a few times I am also transported to very happy times indeed.

My Saturday Question to you is:

What Are Your Currently High Rotation Perfumes?

  2. Being very flighty I’ve not reached for anything regularly. The only one that could possibly qualify is Casablanca as I wore it three times in the space of a week.

    Pichola 😍 💗 ❤️ 💕

  5. No high rotation perfumes, at the moment my most worn is Fils de Dieu, followed by Dzing! and my dwindling decant of Felanilla. Trying to use different scents to give all bottles and decants some love. But still lusting for new ones….

  6. Hmmm.

    Lately Clinique Aromatics Elixir, vintage Chanel No. 22 edt, L’Air de Rien edp, Papillon’s Dryad and Donna Karan Black Cashmere. These are all great cold weather scents and they smell even better on my scarves, hoodies and coat collars a few days later.

  7. I also have too many fragrances and am sampling a lot lately. However; my highest rotation fragrances lately are Dioramour, Ambre Russe, Aerin Ambre Musk, Niki St. Phalle, Molinard Habanita, Tauer Le Maroc Pour Elle, and Sisley Soir de Lune. And past couple weeks I pulled out very random Schiaparelli Zut (re-released version of 1998) and am wearing it a lot! Love it

  8. I have one perfume I’ve been wearing for weeks, April Aromatics Irisistible. I’ve only ever had this ‘homecoming’ feeling with Heure Exquise.
    Irisistible is perfect for me at the moment.

  9. Fickle nose. Fickle nature. But Le Mat has held me in it’s thrall since I got the sample. It’s probably not the one that has been worn the most but certainly the most memorable and cravable. Most worn would probably be vintage Shalimar perfume. That tends to be my evening go-to.

  10. No regulars here either, but in the cold of winter I’m definitely drawn to my ambers so I work through those heavily. I also have a winter “I don’t have time to look through my collection” perfume – SJP Stash.

  11. I love that you are luxuriating in Pichola, one of my favorite perfumes of all time!
    It’s winter here and we are expecting snow tonight. This season I have been wearing a lot of L’Erbolario Dolcelisir, Solstice Scents Estate Vanilla, Micallef Note Vanillee, and Nocturne Alchemy’s Crystal. I guess I need to smell like dessert at all times to stay warm and cozy lately, haha!

      • Hi dearest Portia!! I have missed you too, I haven’t been writing new reviews much lately, but I still follow your writing religiously! Life is busy but fun. You are too sweet, you’re the dessert you got ticket! xoxoxo

  12. I don’t know why but this is tricky for me to answer! I have been using things up lately and doing lots of thunking so not sure I have worn anything for more than two days in a row? Except maybe my Nubian Heritage Raw Shea Butter or my homemade vanilla cardamom body oil every night. Now the week before or the week before that I would have said Casablanca. I would have to go back to the SOTD threads and see what was in my rotation-LOL!

    But I have to say that after my shower I put on one of my new gifted bottles….Natura Amor America Paramela….holy cow…it is so stinkin’ good that I might just keep with it for a while…to my nose it’s an aromatic citrus but it’s got some heft (I think honey might be one of the notes in it) and it is just elevating my mood and making me happy.

  17. Dior Ambre Nuit has seen a lot of wear and Le Labo Iris 39, too. Other than that Tauer Amber Flush perfumed body oil has been used a lot, not much left in the bottle really.

  21. Right now I don’t have a high rotation perfume though this will happen eventually once I have downsized collection. I keep thinking everyday I will start the process today until procrastination overcomes me.

  22. I have been wearing a lot of Cuir de Lancôme and the new-to-me Safran Troublant. We are very lucky to have a mild 9C and even a bit of sun today. No. 19 will probably come into rotation for the spring – real spring that is.

  23. It’s winter here, so Chypre Mousse gets a lot of love, as does Cuir Fetiche and Caleche (always caleche). Ambers are generally too much for me, but I have a few samples, and work through them in winter, so I’m reaching for Eau d’Ambre Intense relatively often.

  24. Of late, my two easy go to’s are L’artisan Al Oudh – I absolutely adore this one and surprisingly to me it handles the heat pretty well. Zadig & Voltaire this is her is an easy pick for the office.

  25. I have been giving Madarino di Amalfi a workout due to the heat, and also because I decided it was time to thunk a few things.

    Otherwise, Acqua di Biella Number 1 is getting repeated airtime, probably coming out weekly. I’m all over citrusy EdCs in the heat.

  27. Recently I’ve been on a sample thunking mission so I didn’t reach out for my full bottles so often. When I did, it was mostly: Parle Moi de Parfum – Orris Tattoo, BV Eau de Velours and my vintage Feminite du Bois.

  28. Fickle as always, but a few things are in three or more wears these past couple of months:
    Rozy VdP, MEM, Cuir de Russie parfum, Couer de Noire, Mitzah, Reve d’Ossian, and Musc Ravageur.

  29. Have been sampling styles I am not normally comfortable with and failing mostly 😁 As for the rest, I’m new on the Juicy Couture train, I don’t think I’d like the rest of the range but I’m really enjoying the tuberose of JC in the heat.
    Also, Valentina Assoluto and Kenzo Parfum d’Ete.
