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 10.2-16.2.2020
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.

Light Blue Intense (women version). HATEEEEEEEEEEE IT. Cannot believe Light Blue is such a big seller and so loved by many. I have smelled light blue, too and Intense is pretty faithful to it. Def. going in the sale bin! On the other hand, I like the blue liquid color and frosty bottle and frosty cap. I have always had a weakness for bottles that have frosty glass. They just look much cooler to me than transparent glass.
LikeLike
Hahaha!!! I wore Light Blue when it first came out, before anyone knew about it. I thought it was unique and refreshing. Then it became hugely popular and everyone was wearing it heavy handedly and I liked it a lot less. The same thing happened for me with Giorgio, Poison and Angel.

It has a pretty good apple note for fans of apple note. But still I am quite surprised by its popularity. And I am shocked after googling it now that it has been here since 2001. I thought it came like 7-8 years ago. I did not really come to know about it until 2010s.
LikeLike
Oh yes it’s a fairly old perfume. I know I liked it a lot more before it became ubiquitous and overworn. Did you ever try the original D&G with the red cap? That one was a lovely marigold. It has a cult following now. My full bottle I emptied years ago.

To answer your question, I love the original D&G Femme. It is pretty good and I think I have it in all three concentrations. I only discovered back in 2017 or 2018 that it even came in parfum de toilette formula. I got two used pdt bottles but unfortunately one of them broke as I was packing stuff for moving in December 2018..

It simply would not do to talk about the day we sailed from beach to beach, our own skipper and just the two of us on the boat. And of course, you do not need to know that it was sunny and the temps were between 25-28 every, frickin day!
And yes to living on a house on stilts! The sound of the water was tranquility itself and it was impossible to hear any noise from other pods. It was extremely private, but when we wanted excitement, poolside always had it’s share of spectacle.

It does sound posh with that nasal “n” and the guttural “r”. It seems that Dusita might be a case of “love/dislike”, but I suspect that such an avid vintage perfume admirer like yourself will find something to like. The range currently consists of nine scents, and I can tell you honestly that there are only two that I’m not ready to cough up the money for just yet: the uber-green leather Le Sillage Blanc – it’s a very Bandit/Cabochard kind of thing, – I have a bit of the latter, so I can wait, – and la Douceur de Siam which is a tropical rose, sadly, it doesn’t perform too well on my skin. The rest is a must-have: I already have the pine needle fougere Issara, but I also need Melodie de l’amour – it’s the friendliest jasmine/tuberose duet I’ve ever smelled! Erawan is my latest obsession: it’s a chocolatey grass! It took me almost a year to discover the beauty of the perfume, but now that I have, it’s getting more difficult to choose the next acquisition 🙂
