This Month's Latest Loves [I'm Fickle]

Keep thinking that I must write down a list of my current favourite fragrances (before I forget them!). So here it is.
Ninfeo Mio — Fabulous recent find from Annick Goutal, it's a lush combination of stinging nettles and green leafiness. Lovely for summer. Fresh and fragrant.
Ormonde Woman — The first fragrance that I've tried from Ormonde Jayne. Big surprise in its deep amber richness. Great for snuggling up under a thick duvet and feeling cosy.
Jardin Clos — Although I'm the first to admit that hyacinth may not be the fragrance that you'd want to wear every day, Jardin Clos makes it pretty tempting. It's a lovely spring scent. Difficult to beat.
Noix de Tubereuse — I've only smelt this Miller Harris fragrance once so far, but I'm going to be going back for more — it was, and is, lovely.
L'Eau de Neroli — Okay — there are only so many days in the week for lovely, lovely fragrances. This heavenly Diptyque fragrance could be a good one to give to the man in your life, to share around the fragrant love.
And several scents that I'm keen to try right now
Blanche by Byredo. I've heard that it's a 'skin' scent. Don't know what this really means — but I'm going to make sure that I find out soon. Beautiful Mind Series — I don't really know why. Great marketing, unusual bottles and a semi-intriguing back story.
Eau de Fleurs by Chloe — the advertising has been everywhere, but they're like the meek friends that you always forget about. Will make sure I hunt them out.
And a few false dawns
Sometimes I get so excited by a new fragrance that I think I love it, but it turns out to be a passing infatuation that dies away very quickly. Latest victims in this category include:
Bvlgari's Jasmin Noir — In the heat of the moment it smelt like jasmine with a great new depth. The morning after, it just felt like a tawdry amber frag that wouldn't die. Orange by Hugo Boss — I initially described it as 'wearable '. Oh dear, oh dear.
