Well with a year gone and a new one already upon us, I thought it would be fun to ask you what you thought were your best scents in 2012.
Perhaps it's something you wore a lot during 2012, or something you discovered during that year. Let's post in this thread and hopefully gather a good collection of interesting discoveries.
Here are my fragrance highlights of 2012 (in order purchased):
- Millesime Imperial. Got a really fruity 2011 batch. Went through more than half of a 120ml bottle! Delicious in the summer this is a fantastic scent to use in the warmer/humid months. Took it on holiday with me as well in the Mediterranean. Worked a treat.
- Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza. I originally sampled this when it came out in 2010 and although I liked it then I couldn't justify a bottle. After I struck a bargain, I've been wearing this a lot. It's gotten me a few nods and compliments, so it will be staying in the rotation. A nice play on vetiver, patchouli and rose with some nice modern citrus notes at the top (grapefruit, mandarin).
- Amouage Epic Man. Wow! Finally, an oud/frankincense and myrrh scent that I can get to like. I don't care for oud, but the other two ingredients I have been searching for all over the place. I finally settled on this. Truly Epic and very masculine.
- Chanel Égoïste. After various attempts at trying to sample this I managed to get my hands on a decent sample - and that wasn't from a store!! The store samples were trash but I eventually bought from one just before Christmas. The luscious rose(wood) and sandalwood really give a unique scent that you don't often notice. My only Chanel and by far one I'll keep!
