You might like Black Cuir by Evodie — it’s a churchy summer scent. I found out about it via a blind scent tasting at a perfumer.

as for the church scents, i would add "La Liturgie des Heures" by Jovoy to the list.

UNUM LAVS is really cool too, although slightly too sweet / talc on my skin

Talking about UNUM, any experiences with 'Symphonie Passion' and/or 'Rosa Nigra'?
My last perfume purchase was CdG Concrete. My CdG Black bottle was finished, so I went to get another one. However every single store sold out and I ended up purchasing Concrete instead. Something completely different. Remark that I was having a cold and couldn't smell a thing. Concrete being from CdG, I took the gamble and just bought it. I felt let down by it after the first couple of wears, too simple and bit bland and way too pricey for what it is. But couple weeks into it I kinda like the subtleness of it. However will not be buying this again nor will I ever go out perfume shopping with a cold.Last edited by unwashed; 02-20-2019, 01:19 PM.

Symphonie Passion has a nice balance between lightness/freshness/citrucy-ness and something heavier, metallic, with a lot of character. I figure it's a perfect transitional weather fragrance IMO, spring or fall, but maybe leaning more into the summer side of things.
I will def be buying it in the next months ;)

damn, UNUM LAVS and Jovoy La Liturgie des Heures are so gorgeous i can practically live in them. the former is probably the closest you can get to the classic incesce, pretty heavy and dark, and the latter is some sort of pine-y incense, very beautiful too. sorry CDG Avingon, but you take the third place in my book now.

I've recently bought a bottle of parfume without an atomiser. You just open a glas lid and dab some of the liquid on wherever. I was wondering wether this would be bad for the perfume - that is exposing it to air/oxygen repeatedly, as opposed to keeping it sealed like in a bottle with a built in atomiser?

Unless you prefer that method of application, grab some glass atomizers which are readily avail on amazon. They’re easy to fill from your splash bottle and should prolong the life of your fragrance, as well as being much easier to apply and control how much you use.

Haydn: Thanks for the advice!
Now we're at it, what are you guy's thoughts about potpourri vs. scented candles? I'm thinking about buying one from Mad et len, but which one has the most 'durable' scent in the room, and what about cost effectiveness - buying refills for the potpourri vs. buying new candles. Any thoughts in general, I've never had potpourri at home, so I have no clue.

If you do try out potpourri or something similar with good results please report back.
