Hi APJ,
A SOTD (Scent Of The Day) thread is a really good conversation generator. The idea is you’ll chime in through the week with whatever scent you are wearing. You don’t need to be super knowledgable, have high faluting tastes or be a published author to comment. Just tell us what fragrance you’re wearing, smelling, buying etc. and how it makes you feel and/or anything else about it that tickles your fancy.
You can also comment on everyone else choices too. It’s great to tell someone how much you love their choice, ask for more info about it, the house or perfumer. There’s someone here from around the world 24/7 and perfume people love to chat.
SOTD: 25.3 – 31.3.2019
You probably won’t have time to write every scent, every spritz but whenever you feel the mood take you share your current spritz and a few things about it. Maybe you love/loathe it, want it, are excited by the notes/bottle/SA who sold it: WHATEVER! As always here at APJ, taking sides never means taking offence and everyone keeps it respectful and light, even though we can sometimes trawl the depths.
Hopefully you will come back and see if anyone has responded to your comment and you can reply to them.
Go To It Crew.

SOTF (scent of the future) – finally bought Mito extrait today. I’m on holiday in Rome and rushed to Campomarzio the first day. They had to get a guy to bring it on a scooter from another location, and I don’t want to open it till I get back (no spillage!). So on the right I’m wearing Rubj extrait and the left has Lys Mediterranee. Also got some Maison Francis Kurkdjian samples so I have something to wear while in Rome.

I’m having my first day in Nomade. It’s ever so gently green. I expected a bit more Oakmoss and oomph, given the notes, but this is sitting close to the skin. It would be good in a perfume averse workplace. I like it, and it’s refreshing that the creators put out something that’s not a sugar and vanilla bomb. For me it’s probably a bit too ladylike in some ways. Though to contradict myself immediately I think this would smell fab on a man. Will wear it tomorrow again and see if my nose picks up more from it.

Vintage Expression by Fath. After all this time it seems so similar to Vu I was wearing yesterday.

My PPP arrived yesterday so last night I got started on Les Néréides. There wasn’t a name on it but one spray and I knew it was a patchouli bomb, so I had a reference point to start from.

This is a mentholated patch, there is a supporting cast but they’re hiding behind the curtains most of the time. All you get is an odd peek and maybe a muffled giggle.
