You've left me drooling for the new Guerlains!<br /><br />On the subject of perfume longevity, I have to say that I have "scent-glue skin" even though it is very dry (also fair and tight-pored for the record). A short-lived scent will "only" last a good 12 hours. My SOTD, Champagne de Bois, will last a good 36 hoursRappleyeanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-68902168846136337682012-05-19T01:19:35.002+01:002012-05-19T01:19:35.002+01:00Making your own fragrant lotion is a very neat tri...Making your own fragrant lotion is a very neat trick. I tried that this morning with Rochas Femme (not that I have too many worries about the longevity of Femme!) and it is lots of fun. It does seem to create a more encompassing, perfumed veil effect.

Thanks!<br /><br />I guess summer makes certain things "bloom": some clean powdery ambers translate beautifully (as opposed to dense very sweet ones) as do tropical flowers.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-26554344426279407122012-05-18T19:43:45.733+01:002012-05-18T19:43:45.733+01:00Mimi,

We don't have such humidity as the one I have witnessed in Florida or in the Far East (Singapore, Malaysia etc) but we do get a lot of heat in the height of summer. I wouldn't dare wear Fracas then, but you're giving me ideas of trying just a squirt.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-77195053349975252962012-05-18T19:42:11.328+01:002012-05-18T19:42:11.328+01:00Eld,

Though that's a quirk; I associate rainy days with a certain scent and I wear a specific rotation in the heatwave. <br /><br />Indeed concentration plays a significant part as well.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-21870626442014014792012-05-18T17:33:10.457+01:002012-05-18T17:33:10.457+01:00I always find that my really dry skin does not hol...I always find that my really dry skin does not hold fragrance well in the winter so I tend to spray my clothes as well. I have more luck in the summer but perhaps this is because I often use organic virgin coconut oil as an all body moisturizer and layer it with essential oils for extra fragrance-the double wham of oil can last all day on my skin!noetic owlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-48879941403005408092012-05-18T16:49:08.507+01:002012-05-18T16:49:08.507+01:00It's true Elena about humidity being the vampi...It's true Elena about humidity being the vampire of fragrance ! Sweating just killed any kind of fragrance except for Fracas EDP which amplified greatly to the point of making me feel sick . I don't know why that is so .It behaves in a dry hot climate though - to the point of being 'clean' smelling on my skin.Mimi Gardenianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-77699842982984128452012-05-18T15:26:50.100+01:002012-05-18T15:26:50.100+01:00I'm one of those weirdos that always has to ch...I'm one of those weirdos that always has to check the weather. It narrows down (somewhat) what I will wear that day. It isn't so much for what kind of cloths I'll wear but perfume. I must have the world's driest skin and I am always slathering on lotion. I've also noticed on how no matter how much lotion I put on EDT's only last 3 or 4 hours max, hence why I always buy EDPEldarwen22https://www.blogger.com/profile/15592297508456509382noreply@blogger.com
