Subversion Through Scent Part II

Since August 2011 and May 2012, I have been badly influenced by fumehead Katie Puckrik; biophysicist Luca Turin and writer Victoria Frolova respectively. 

I have learnt to appreciate more unique and complex scents from both independent and mainstream perfume houses. I have also learnt to ignore social norms and gender specific marketing.

My current favourites include:
~ Bvlgari Eau Parfumee Au The Vert 
~ Estee Lauder Pleasures
~ L'instant de Guerlain

In the testing phase:
~ Apres L'ondee by Guerlain
~ Yvresse by Yves Saint Laurent
~ No. 2, No 4 and No. 5 by Crow Water + Parfum
~ Indochine by Parfumerie Generale
~ Timbuktu by L'artisan Parfumer
~ 1740 by Histoire de Parfum

~ Jasmin et Cigarettes by Etat Libre d'Orange
~ S-ex by S-Perfume
~ Eau de Charlotte by Annick Goutal

Waiting to be tested:
~ Violetta by Penhaligons
~ Lavender by Caldey Islands
~ Mitsouko EDP by Guerlain
~ Lime Basil & Mandarin by Jo Malone

Wishlist:
~ No. 5 Eau Premiere by Chanel
~ Private Collection by Estee Lauder
~ Baiser Vole by Cartier
~ Chamade EDT by Guerlain
~ White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum

Intrigued by, yet hard to find in the UK and/or not within my budget:
~ Poo Poo Pidoo by Ego Facto
~ Osmanthe Yunnan by Hermes
~ Organza Indecence by Givenchy
~ Oud Wood by Tom Ford
~ In The Library by CB I Hate Perfumes

~ Roast Beef Accord by CB I Hate Perfumes
~ Champaca by Ormonde Jayne
~ Peau de Peche by Keiko Mecheri

Too challenging:
~ Secretions Magnifique by Etat Libre d'Orange
~ Blood Concept
~ Oud 27 by Le Labo
