Answer:
CdG Carnation is my choice of Floral for this Sniff'n'Speak Saturday.
In Finnish carnation the flower and clove the spice are both called "neilikka", and Carnation has both among its notes. There's also red pepper making this spicy little number even more red hot and sultry jasmine and rose.
I think even those who generally find CdG scents a bit too "adventurous" might enjoy Carnation.

Answer:
Nothing niche but still a fragrance I have loved and worn for many years now
First extrait by Van Cleef & Arpels.
A lovely floral aldehyde and although it is not listed, I am sure there is tuberose in here.
An elegant fragrance with 'class' written all over it.
If possible, try the extrait. It is really a world apart from the EDT.
Notes from OzMoz:
Top note : Bergamot, Mandarin, Blackcurrant, Aldehydes
Middle note : Jasmine, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Hyacinth
Base note : Vetiver, Vanilla, Amber, Civet
A perfume laden with memories.

Answer:
For secound floral-sniff-and-speak-day I am ewaring J del Pozo In Black EdT and bodylotion. In Black is a "black" floral fruity. The notes are:
Top: Black Cherry, Black Pepper, Pink Grapefruit, "Top Rose".
Heart: Black Lily, Jasmine, Violet.
Base: Licore Wood, Madagascan Vanilla, Moroccan Cedar, Indonesian Patchouli.
Not expensive, yet one of my most charming perfumes! I have to place it in my avatar for a while, as I am so fond of it!

Answer:
Frederic Malles Lipstick Rose for this sniff and speak. ( Thanks Musse )
Rose, violets and raspberry and amber, vanilla and vetiver..some musk?
I'm not so sure that this reminds me of old-fashioned lipsticks; my first impression is that this is a gourmand scent; like rosescented raspberry jam cooked with vanilla and MUCH sugar!
Maybe it's the sweetness that makes it feel edible to me.
I like it; and would certainly wear it if someone gave it to me; but I don't feel that it is so special that I would buy it at that price.
I have sprayed Ombre Rose; the only rose scent I own; on my other wrist. and I prefer that one; happily for my wallet!

Answer:
Good morning, dears!
Parfumerie Générale Tubéreuse Couture is the perfect scent to greet the warm spring (almost summery!) sunshine today. Wow, it is mesmerising! Ylang-ylang adds an exotic touch to the gloriously creamy smell of tuberose blossoms. It is definitely sweet. I also smell a coconut-ty note similar to the one I adore in Datura Noir, but there’s no coconut among the notes – it could be the tub-sugar cane accord. This scent has also a gourmand touch so typical for PG. Pierre Guillaume's hommage to an exploding, cheerful femininity.

The notes in this beauty are kalamanzi oil, green jasmine shoots, ylang-ylang, sugar cane, Indian tuberose, Sumatra benzoin and papyrus.

I wonder why we don't discuss PG scents more often?

Answer:
So many choices, oh my! It is Gucci Envy today, spring in the bottle, launched in 1997 and blended by Maurice Roucel while Tom Ford was the Creative Designer (or, was it Director?) for Gucci.
When it was first released, I was playing the part: assertive and slightly b..chy office worker, wearing high heels, pin-stripe suits, glasses and my blond hair in a bun. Unapproachable, finicky, meticulous, cold, probably giving out more cold then the office air-conditioner , a relatively new fling back then where I lived. Envy was a huge part of my image, and its bottle came encased in white leather.
Fast forward 10 years to right here and now: I have changed, my tastes and perception of Envy did too! Lily of the valley, hyacinth and jasmine are still there, making it delicately sunsuous and girly. I know a lot of people can't stand the smell of the lilies of the valley, especially the way it is being recreated in a fragrance: headache inducing, cloying and growing in a chemically treated forest. Not in the case with Envy -- still cool and damp, indispensable in hot climates, tender and green, dew-drenched. There is some certain fruitiness about the top, and different sites refer to it as being fresia, magnolia, honeysuckle, even peach and pineapple; I tend to think of it as floral though, much alike to that in AG Eau de Camille. There is a little bitterness about the middle notes: leafy white hyacinth, with sap and all, even the freshly broken twig of the lilac bush, crystal clear and not powdery iris. The drydown is still floral, with less musk and woods than all other Guccis before or after Envy.
Right now I think of Envy as a 13-year-old girl, left all by herself to play with her dolls and read in the garden, while her older sisters went to the ball thrown in honor of the new noble male neighbor (and potential husband!). She is envious, still being innocent, dreamy and sweet herself, she is making nosegays (what a silly word!) for her sisters. (The Italian word "invidia" (="envy") is ugly as a sin itself, I associate it with both "invisible" and "un-diva-like", so I was not surprised that they ended up with the English name.)
Surprisingly unpolular on the forums in general, Envy will always be with me. Somehow, I think there are more admirers of this Floral among us than we care to admit!

Answer:
Total change.
Caron Nocturnes it is today.
Pretty,girlie for women of any age but young at heart.
Nocturnes has a sweetness which is green so never tries to knock you over the head or give you toothache.
The myth still goes round that Nocturnes is based on Nuit de Noel. NO, only the bottle design was used as a template for Nocturnes not the fragrance.
