My apologies go out to Nick, who was expecting this post to appear on Monday. Nick grew up “always wearing a fragrance as part of [his] everyday life” and “feels naked without a scent on”. He is familiar with standard designer and celebrity fare, but would like to hear our suggestions on niche and/or unusual fragrances that he might not know about. He likes his fragrances abstract and strong, and he isn’t afraid of a daring scent. He lives in Australia, where niche scents can be hard to find, so please stick to things that can be purchased online (and preferably that can be easily sampled). Here is what we know about Nick:
He’s in his mid-20s and works in a legal adminstration office.
He says he is “confident, sociable and artistic”, and he wants a fragrance to match.
Nick loves notes of bergamot, musk, amber, sandalwood and tobacco leaves…
Today's poll was suggested by Becca, who wants to talk about perfume bottles: the weirdest, wackiest, ugliest, prettiest, most stately, whatever! Nominate your favorites (or least favorites), and in honor of Marc Jacobs, I'd like to add two more categories: good tacky and bad tacky.
A side note: circumstances prevented me from posting the Monday Mail yesterday, but look for it tomorrow.
