Picture: It's almost the same temprature (+6 C) this Christmas Eve as Midsummer Eve 2015 (+10 C). Therefore this lush summer rose is illustrating this post. Photo: Mr Parfumista (c) |
Suits this green, warm Christmas Eve with some sun outside. This beautiful rose is enlightened by subtle spices and a smooth rubbery note from the roseoil. It's just delightful, a sort of thicker and stronger variation of the Edp version. Wearing it feels like rolling around in fresh, just harvested, medium pink rosepetals a warm and sunny day.
Mr Parfumistas SOTD is Santos de Cartier vintage version, suits well with its spicy, leathery accords. Last year, also a green Christmas, he wore the same fragrance. Wearing this classic is a recurring habit for Mr Parfumista for Christmas Eves as it has happened for several times.
Below is the updated list of the fragrances I've worn the last twelve Christmas Eves:
2014: Impossible Iris Ramòn Monegal (an elegant, contempory iris with a delicious rasperrynote)
2013: Quintaesensia Ramòn Monegal, (a special retro styled blend, furry, ambery, herbal/spicy)
2012: Nothing, knocked down by the worst flu in ten years+.
2011: Betrothal, Grossmith (classic, light and exquisite florals)
2010: Cuir Mauresque, Serge Lutens (saddle leather, orangeblossom, jasmine, spices)
2009: Tribute Attar, Amouage (dark leather, smoke, oud, excellent spices)
2008: Incense rosé, Andy Tauer (rose, mandarine, cardamom, myrrh cedar, incense)
2007: Ambre Russe, Parfum d'Empires (boozy amber, the, wood, oriental)
2006: Jil Sander 4, Jil Sander (dark, overripe fruits, white almost withering flowers, oriental spices)

I had Noel au Balcon from Etat Libre d'Orange at Christmas Eve. En ganska ljus och upplyftande juldoft som passar bra i lite varmare jultider tycker jag. Befinner mig nu i Paris över nyåret och inhandlade igår en doft som jag har för mig att du tipsade om i ett tidigare inlägg; Parfums de Nicolai Kiss Me Intense. Ska bli spännande att prova den ordentligt!
