I hope they have it! But no. Its a dream come true for this perfumista. And as far as checking goes, I think I have picked up this trait from my sister. Its not like I needed it. You are one lucky dude. Karin, it's NOT the amber that troubles me with those heavy Orientals. I have like a zillion skirts and just a handful of jeans! Mals86,Well, yes, Minuit is reminiscent of Opium, Cinnabar and the like but it's not as aldehyde heavy or potent. What worries me is the exclusive to Nordstrom thing it could be exclusive to some department store here too, but Id have no idea where! It started out interesting sort of caramelized celery but then veered into scrubber territory on me. Oh, this sounds wonderful! I never order from them unless they have some kind of GWP going on if you sign up for the emails, youll know when theres a good one. Subscribe to followup comments via email. I really like Cinnabar and Youth Dew a few hours in. Knowing what notes are alike will aid in my foray into the fragrance aisle. I ask, because my mother wears Youth Dew when she deigns to dab on a bit. I just checked out the EL site and yes, YD is cheap! I love your description of Minuit Enchante as Cinnabars younger sister. The item you've selected was not added to your cart. Here's our privacy policy, and a handy emoticon chart. (I don't typically wear Shalimar, but at least that one is in the realm of the possible for me.). You dont even get a hint of dead squirrel? See thats what I keep thinking. I like skirts and dresses, too. I am also a methodical checker, but only once I've decided to buy. I tried this about a month ago I remember liking it, but I had tried so many things that day that I cant remember how much I liked it. Youth Dew is probably the closest in style of those you mentioned. My husband, OTOH, didn't notice it. Hmmm.. that posted in an odd spot I was taunting Daisy if it wasnt obvious lol. Others, like the brand new Natori, are more light and feminine. {"modules":["unloadOptimization","bandwidthDetection"],"unloadOptimization":{"browsers":{"Firefox":true,"Chrome":true}},"bandwidthDetection":{"url":"https://ir.ebaystatic.com/cr/v/c1/thirtysevens.jpg","maxViews":4,"imgSize":37,"expiry":300000,"timeout":250}}. Its a nice version vs. the one with alcohol. So glad you reviewed this! Minimum purchase required. A decant sounds like the perfect amount. FYI Holt Renfrew in Canada (and Ogilvys in Montreal) stock Laura Mercier. Im not actually sure, not having been interested in LM scents in the past, but one would imagine Nuits has been released here. Im still really inexperienced, though and I dont know if I like oud or not. I think - not that I'm an expert, mind you! I guess indolic (jasmine, tuberose, and cumin notes) arent my thing after all.. Oh yeah. Of course, theres a risk of falling in love with it and not being able to re-purchase once it runs out. Change). I like a little curry or everlasting flower, myself. Hi Angela! What a wonderful blog! And once you have narrowed down your faves within a genre, you need to keep consumer-comparison testing. Hi Jill, Spray some at noon, and your midnight could still end up enchanted, no problem. Unfortunately since Im in Chicago, I cant get away with them in winter, Im just too cold! I also had troubles with Shalimar, but should try it again - in the parfum - to give it a chance.As for Minuit, if it's anything like the scents Mals mentionedwell, I probably won't like it. Actually, there are some things that I love that have civet listed as a note like Jicky but I dont smell it at all. Oh, where were you two days ago? Oh noooo! As always, lovely review. (LogOut/ , . SRDCE: tuberza, Perfume-stalking is the ULTIMATE checking, Ahsu, you're so right. Much better than all those plastic caps. $30 for 12 months. Going to their site now. Minuit Enchantee is softer, but still plenty spicy. Will you email me at rappleyea11 at yahoo dot com? Have never bought directly from EL before.

Dnes pat k jedn And hubby recently found work, I am very thankful.. SmokeyToes, when you put on Cinnabar, how lightly do you put it on, and do you spray or dab? It can be really embarrassing at times. Add this item to your watchlist to keep track of it. And I too am a die-hard skirt / dress wearer, and have been much of my life. Maybe the civet smell is reserved for the edp or parfum? If you get the chance, do try the bath oil in YD. It never hurts to be thorough :). How is Wazumba? I swore Id wear something different today since I wore Minuit Enchantee a good part of last week to prepare for this review, but sure enough I just put on some more. Well, I can sure relate on the sweat aspect. U.K. Hi Superlong Theyre heavy and metal and feel so satisfying in the hand. Noir Epices is more rosy and cool than Minuit Enchantee, and Mahardjah is more orange-y and has more patchouli (if Im remembering right). I thought it was something like that. Presumably its available elsewhere too Thank you both! It really is a nice one, and, as you say, a great price for parfum concentration. This sounds absolutely delicious, and the price is fairly reasonable. Love Mauboussin, this is on the same continuum but the mace stands out, think eggnog, in a good way. Very nice price on that btw.Lisa. Its been two years since Ive put on pants. I was just at Nordstroms, getting my usual dose of deep disappointment, on Saturday! , Provozovatel: MAFRA, a.s. Provozovatelem tohoto serveru je MAFRA, a.s., se sdlem Karla Englie 519/11, 150 00 Praha 5, IO: What IS it about those scents that makes them so offensive? I am trying to restrain myself if I can. I think an oriental is a fragrance with amber and/or vanilla, andin my mind, at leasta spicy feel. It looked like this year was going to be another year of slim pickings, but all of the sudden there are so many good ones! I live somewhere much more temperate than Chicago, but when it snowed last year I put expedition weight long underwear under my skirt and was warm as toast. Instead, the tuberose more gives floral lift to the fragrance and a hint of that buzzy intoxication that tuberose, jasmine, and gardenia can lend. It extends to checking which package of whatever I buy - the least tampered with, freshest-looking one will win every time! I think I am anosmic to a sweet musk that it is in it. I dont think Ill be buying any, though, since I just fell really hard for Alahine and bought a bottle as my Christmas present, but I might have to spring for a small decant. Ill sign up for their emails. Fantastic sillage - 16 hours later and still lingering on my skin. It didnt say anything about cinnamon so I might be ok with it. This sounds lovely, though. I thought this sounded really nice; Im glad its living up to expectations. daj. Its nice that you figured out the resin/spice thingit makes it a lot easier to know what to sample and what you can leave behind. This sounds beautiful. i pi o ple a tlo. I wonder if it will, or has already, come to the UK? A touch of sweat can be good, I think. =P. Prvodce svtem krsy zaloila v roce 2006 blogerka Ada. This is a great scentsoft woodsy-incense, not too overwhelming for work. You look terrific! I attribute it to amber, but could be wrong. Then I suspect Cynthia and I have plotting and scheming to do! Oh, and I love the sound of your basic wardrobeso romantic and classic.almost makes me want to try a dress.but then Id probably have to give up my ultra comfy Nike Air Rift sneakers (even though I have them in basic black as well). Something went wrong. But youre right, cold breezes busting up the skirt is less than fine. The spices in Cinnabar mellow, and YD becomes a lovely woody/ambery scent after 2 hours. Id contact LM directly with the question: I hope it does. Just wondering because Im really wanting to try it, but from the reviews at MUA it seems to be a love/hate thing because some find it extremely overwhelming. (LogOut/ I thought it smelled sort of like Pier One, in a good way.My brother leaned over to sniff my wrist, and jerked his head back fast enough to cause whiplash. Just six months ago I thought that I would just slowly add to my collection, buying fragrances that had been on my wishlist for ages. So, unless I sniff this and dont like it (not likely, based on the notes and your review) Minuit Enchante joins Mythique and Pure Oud as new additions to my wishlist. I wonder if samples are available at TPC? Mmmmmm, sounds lovely. I hope you wont be disappointednot that I think you will be. And no one raises a brow at me when I check out. Then I recently discovered PdN Maharanih as a swap extra and its definitely like a cousin to Noir Epices; Ive been very much wanting a bottle or decant, but I also want to smell the Mercier. I think its definitely worth a try. It really does have a cozy approachable appeal and lasted 8-9 hours on me (easily). FM Noir Epices was almost love at first sniff last winter and sustained me through the season. I liked ME very much. If you like PdE Ambre Russe or SL Arabie it's possible you'd like Minuit Enchante. On that note, I noticed that the fragrance is distinctly different when it's sprayed versus dabbed. I kind of freaked out the other day when Katie Puckrick (and several people in the comments section) opined that Jicky smelled like poopy diapers I dont get that smell at all. Which makes me wonder: Why even make perfumes if youre a make-up company. () . Usually the list includes a white, button-up blouse, a trench coat, a string of pearls, and a little black dress. =) Your no.1 fan from HK, xoxoFiFi. Plus, I dont really care for the twee regular bottle and you can buy it in the fabulous retro blue bottle at Estee Lauder online and you get samples and sometimes a great GWP. This definitely sounds worth a sniff and Im so excited to see that I can probably wheedle a sample out of my local buddy, Datura, up there. Love your basic wardrobe, Angela! I just purchased this fragrance and its WONDERFUL! A drop puts out a heck of a sillage. I had written off all Laura Mercier frags after some cursory sniffing of her gourmand whatevers. Or at least needed it that way. Minuit sounds nice, but I think it maybe too heavy and spicy for me. Good tips! But cat pee? DUNNO. >:D. Oh, I know! Minuit Enchant lasts a good long time on skin, too. . I haven't tried any Laura Mercier scents - the closest store to me is about five hours' drive away. Happy Labor Day, ha ha ha. (He noticed the 31 Rue Cambon on the back of my neck, though), "Smells are surer than sounds or sights to make your heartstrings crack.". All rights reserved. Its a good feeling to do a between-season closet purge. I have some great longer wintery skirts but rarely end up wearing them. Minuit Enchant takes a middle course. Ill have to look for them. Message received!!!! I bought mine online to avoid having the SAs tell me about how its a grandma scent, too. It's currently exclusive to Nordstrom. (Hoping its less strident!). I think Sephora has this? / .. But my list is starting to expand again and I have also had the opportunity to pick up a few unexpected hard-to-find scents at good prices too.
