SmokeyToes, when you put on Cinnabar, how lightly do you put it on, and do you spray or dab? I love the stoppers/caps Laura Mercier uses for its fragrances. Yummy, sounds lovely to me, too.

I am adding this edition to my must-try list, and although I really liked the original, Im hoping this is even more interesting. Any comments whether or not this new Minuite Enchantee is similar to Mauboussin? So what are the notes exactly that relate this to Youth Dew? Hopefully, this is the right spot. Its been two years since Ive put on pants. Some orientals, like Chopard Casmir, are heavily gourmand and call for a light hand and a big personality. Well, then its definitely one I will smell, and soon. kosmetiky. Dabbed, Minuit Enchant is thicker, more potent, and the agarwood accord and vanilla stand out even more.

The scent, in Parfum strength, comes in a bottle with a sprayer that delivers a very fine mist. Then, no middle notes! Theyre so swingy and fun. The touch of oud is a nice addition. Instead, the tuberose more gives floral lift to the fragrance and a hint of that buzzy intoxication that tuberose, jasmine, and gardenia can lend. I've read so many magazine articles about the building blocks of the classic wardrobe. Okay done sounding like a shill for EL; I just love several of their scents.

Id contact LM directly with the question: I have some great longer wintery skirts but rarely end up wearing them. Oh, and Youth Dew as well. *Gasp*. Theyre so comfortableno binding, unforgiving denim. 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. A decant sounds like the perfect amount. Ill have to try those. It never hurts to be thorough :). Minuit Enchantee is softer, but still plenty spicy.

But I do believe in a basic wardrobe of fragrances. I dont get any coffee in Minuit Enchante, and I havent smelled Mauboussin (although now Im eager to). Im totally hooked on dresses and skirts now. If you haven't yet filled this hole in your perfume collection, you might want to try Laura Mercier Minuit Enchant. (I don't typically wear Shalimar, but at least that one is in the realm of the possible for me.). =)But I'm more into TH Loud for him,as I've mentioned from the comment of your review on "Sensuous by Estee Lauder".Do you have any other suggestions smell like TH Loud for him but with better longevity and a good sillage? This sounds like a Must try. Its a nice version vs. the one with alcohol. Passive wear! Minuit Enchant has top notes of juniper, mace, ginger, clove buds, and pimento berry; a heart of tuberose, rose absolue, jasmine absolue, and peach nectar; and a dry down of pure vanilla absolue, musks, labdanum oil, benzoin resin, amber, myrrh, exotic guaiacwood, cedarwood, sandalwood, and agarwood accord. Damn. Also, because of the cardamom and oud, Minuit Enchant comes off as more modern than some of the 1980s oriental blockbusters. A good skirt will last forever. I still have about 40 ml left, and I love it. The pretty bottles not too shabby either. I tried the Nuits Enchantees last year and it was kind of a mess for me mostly a spice cabinet/coffee disaster. But the scent has its charms dabbed, too. Thank you Angela. I am trying to restrain myself if I can. Very wearable IMO. Dnes pat k jedn I have like a zillion skirts and just a handful of jeans! I think an oriental is a fragrance with amber and/or vanilla, andin my mind, at leasta spicy feel. As always, lovely review. I haven't tried any Laura Mercier scents - the closest store to me is about five hours' drive away.

At least Im a cheap enabler, right? Warm, spicy orientals are perfect when it's cold out and you want a scent that will stand up to the season's thick sweaters and woolen skirts. So glad you reviewed this! I am just discovering the older EL scents have never tried Youth Dew but want to. I really love Eau de Lune and L'Heure Maqigue. .

I already have Nuits Enchantee and love it, so I was fairly certain I would like this and I was right. MakeupAlley is a registered trademark of MUA, Inc. ARGGG! Or at least needed it that way.

No, but youre pefume-buddies with someone who lives near a Nordies. I think Sephora has this? But overal/, ME is soft and snuggly, and YD is sharp and penetrating.As for my brunette metaphor, I think of Youth Dew and Mitsouko as brunettes, and creamy ambers like Shalimar as blondes. We have been having a hot spell here in southern California, bought this the same day my bottle of Wazamba came, have worn them separately & together and love them even on hot days.

They blend well with roaring fireplaces, counteract the damp, musty smell of the bus on a rainy morning, and bloom on skin coddled by coats. I didnt find it sweaty so much as overwhelmingly pungent in an almost mustardy way. Just when I think the oud has tossed the fragrance off balance, a layer of vanilla floats in. Hi Katie, it's sigourney523 from youtube.nice review for the "Minuit Enchant"! Oh, definitely I must do that. Add in a tweezer or travel atomizer and you should get it shipped free. Spray some at noon, and your midnight could still end up enchanted, no problem. And its back to the old quandry: is it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all? I wonder if I can make it back before the kids get home. ;-). I shall scurry off to try it for myself. Youre right, though, I dont think it would be great on a hot day. I also study seams, and even check how the pattern ended up in the garment as compared to how it was cut in its sister garments.

Hi Angela. Spolenost MAFRA, a.s., je lenem koncernu AGROFERT. For me, the civet in Jicky EdT comes out not right away, but after a little while. If you like PdE Ambre Russe or SL Arabie it's possible you'd like Minuit Enchante. I had written off all Laura Mercier frags after some cursory sniffing of her gourmand whatevers. I like a little curry or everlasting flower, myself. I dont remember being asked for my passport when I went to Nordstrom. Thats true as well. Despite all its vanilla and bakery spices, Minuit Enchant still smells more like perfume than like a box of cookies. Prvodce svtem krsy zaloila v roce 2006 blogerka Ada.

Im holding out hope for the NSTers who dont live near a Nordies the original Nuits Enchantee was also supposedly LE and Nordies exclusive, but then became part of the permanent collection and available on LMs site. A treasure trove of Nahema! They claim that it is a UK exclusive, somewhat oddly (I guess that would be news to Nordies, then), and suggested I try Harrods. Enable away. Hi Angela! Since then Ive found the gorgeous and supremely wearable Mauboussin, which is spices, light dried fruits, vanilla and a dash of oliban. I adore warm and spicy, and this sounds like it will be great for fall/winter. . Thanks! Good for you! Whats up with that? What a wonderful blog! Thank you so much!
