Jour Ensolielle (sp?) is a tuberose, and I don't much care for tuberose, but I appreciate and wear it--it's a very happy scent! I whole-heartedly recommend the sample set; you won't regret it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-33817606897197921092011-04-08T10:58:02.818-07:002011-04-08T10:58:02.818-07:00*jen, sorry for the delay, I wanted to double chec...*jen, sorry for the delay, I wanted to double check. The list of notes that I have do not include mint and I cannot smell it from the perfume. Though since I drink a lot of mint tea it might be that my perception of this note is different so please try it yourself. But I think it's beautiful and seriously considering adding it to the "to buy" list.Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-76516245705422595342011-04-06T15:10:30.385-07:002011-04-06T15:10:30.385-07:00Dee, the DSH catalog IS big and convoluted.

She's streamlining the site, btw, so maybe you'll be able to pick some samples mofe easily off of the new site?<br />I am quickly becoming a DSH fangirl. Some of her scents are not my thing but every one I have tried is well-done. I haven't tried SSS at all. What do you recommend? (though we may be evil scent twins because I could wear oakmoss straight-up forever and be satisfied!)<br />*jenjensunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041130248100842593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-6296366356732341732011-04-06T15:05:48.271-07:002011-04-06T15:05:48.271-07:00Undina, I just read the review of the Sisley perfu...Undina, I just read the review of the Sisley perfume on Now Smell This - it sounds amazing but the review mentioned a mint phase. Do you get that? I'm not a fan of mint at all. The review placed Eau du Soir in league with one of my favorites, Niki de St Phalle (which also has a mint note, but I don't smell it). That's good company to keep!<br />*jenjensunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041130248100842593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-64551912373567796852011-04-06T15:00:03.915-07:002011-04-06T15:00:03.915-07:00Dionne, first things first: condolances on the gal...Dionne, first things first: condolances on the galbanum-averse skin. It's one of those notes I love! But I'm sure some amazing notes sing on your skin and fall flat on mine (tobacco? apple? pear?). I haven't triedthe DSH you mentioned, though I know a lot of people mention it. I have to admit, I don't love chocolate in perfumes too much, so they usually drop to the bottom of the to-try list.<br />*jenjensunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041130248100842593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-69220607231140944312011-04-06T14:56:50.839-07:002011-04-06T14:56:50.839-07:00Cymbaline, I just did a quickie search on Parfum D...Cymbaline, I just did a quickie search on Parfum Deluxe and now I'm mad because it looks STUNNING and I must try it!!! :).

I wonder if I will do that? Lol. I sorta thought I wouldn't care about another amber (after Ambre Fetiche) but ended up sampling the Hermessence one and now I know I must sample ALL ambers!

I love me some green, but the verdict is out on oakmoss in any quantity... so I'm not sure how I feel about green chypres! I haven't tried this DSH. As a few people have mentioned, the catalogue of fragrances is a little overwhelming----I did try Cardamom and Kyphi (I think it was) over the holidays and liked it just fine, but it didn't ring my bell the way the SSS fragrances seem to. I'm rambling. Sorry.

I haven't tried a lot of green chypres yet, partly because most greens smell nasty on me for some reason (possibly the galbanum?) and I've gotten a bit leary - I just tried Private Collection yesterday and it was horrible - 'orrible, I say! So I'm still on a quest for a green that works on my skin.<br /><br />My favorite DSH has to be Piment et Chocolat, which I won in a previous giveaway she hosted.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085678129130546156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-23334949828663933382011-04-05T15:48:35.246-07:002011-04-05T15:48:35.246-07:00I love greens and chypres so Vert pour Madame soun...I love greens and chypres so Vert pour Madame sounds like a sure thing for me!

I've been eying this one ;)<br /><br />I am not necessarily a fan of green chypres, unless you count Ma Griffe (but it's a floral chypre and it's pretty floral to me), but I am a huge fan of DSH. My favorite from her is Mahjoun, boy, that's a GOURMAND! It pretty much closed the niche for me, it is THE gourmand I need. I even turned down PG Un Crime Exotique for that.a.k.a.
