I think everyone in the world is experiencing insane weather. This past weekend, here it was in the 90s and very humid.
I was wearing some light fruity and flowery things - Annick Goutal Petite Cherie was in ample rotation, and PdE Azemour, L'Artisan La Chasse aux Papillon and Guerlain Apres L'Ondee. I also threw in Bond No. 9 Chinatown the other evening. (and you know, I was craving Coty L'Aimant but cannot find my sample)
The son and his girlfriend were here for a few days, and we barely saw them! They had a lot to do (visiting friends, etc), but I did get to sit down with K (the gf) for a bit to sample Neela Vermeire's Trayee, Mohur and Bombay Bling. I had had these samples for quite some time, but wanted to experience them for the first time with K.
Color me extremely underwhelmed. Trayee and Mohur stay super duper close to the skin, and I feel that I have to be a scientist to 'get' them. Over time, these both blossom nicely, but still stay too close for my comfort. Bombay Bling, on the other hand, is a bit louder and of all three is my favorite (which is weird, because I'm not a huge fan of the taste of mango). Trayee would be my favorite IF it was louder. But I tired of looking through a microscope.
K mentioned, after sniffing Bombay Bling, that it reminded her of the streets of her town, where people sell raw mango sprinkled with salt and chili pepper, and that made me smile. She didn't have much to say about the other two.
Is there anything out there that smells like Trayee but louder? And anything that smells like Bombay Bling but less expensive?
