Reading the notes and ingredients of a perfume is a bit like reading a complicated recipe for a French cake. You can imagine what a Gateau St. Honore may taste like, but the reality is quite different. Of course the skill of the chef is as important as the ingredients, just as the skill and artistry of the perfumer, as well as your personal chemistry has much to do with the scent once it is on your skin. That being said, the staff of CaFleureBon has tested so many fragrances, that we each  know by now that there are certain perfume notes that we love. It doesn't mean we will automatically  blind buy a fragrance with our favorite notes, but we will give it a shot over others based on  its ingredients. This month to claim spilled perfume, match the CaFleureBon Editors and Contributors with one of their favorite notes in perfumery.

    I’m in the US. My two choices would be Phoenicia Perfumes Gone But Not and Strange Invisible Perfumes MiniBar. Thank you for the draw!

  • Oh, this is painful! First off, I can’t believe these scents went unclaimed! Second, I realized I just spent two hours reading about all of you and now I’m really confused! I know what some your fave scents are (so if that’s ever a spilled perfume draw I’ll be golden), even opening notes, and yet they don’t appear on this list!!! 🙁 So, I’m giving up, after working much too hard, my almost random guesses are:

    Valerie’s favorite perfume note is vetiver.

    Michael’s favorite perfume note is styrax.

    Tama’s favorite perfume note is narcissus.

    John’s favorite perfume note is. benzoin.

    Mark’s favorite perfume note is birch tar.

    Nancy ‘s favorite perfume note is lactones.

    Michelyn’s favorite perfume note is oud.

    In the US (still), and my top picks are Rising Phoenix Preda and L’artisan’s Skin on Skin. Thanks for the exhausting draw!!!

  • having trouble logging in so this will have to work. 😉

    i don’t think i know any of you well enough to know your favorite notes, but i will do my best.

    1. Valerie’s favorite perfume note is lactones

    2. Michael’s favorite perfume note is vetiver

    3. Tama favorite perfume note is benzoin

    4. John’s favorite perfume note is birch tar

    5. Mark’s favorite perfume note is oud

    6. Nancy ‘s favorite perfume note is styrax

    7. Michelyn’s favorite perfume note is narcissus

    now, should that be the luckest guess i ever made, i would revel in SIP’s sampler set and Achtung! sampler set from House of Matriarch.

    cheers!!

  • Wow these are always so hard even though I read everyone’s articles! I feel I get to know ya’ll better each time we do one of these though.

    OMG Petra still isn’t claimed… I will sound like a broken record and list that as a choice (who are you people not claiming the scotchy goodness?!) and my second scent choice is Preda. Though the House of Matriarch and Strange Invisible sample sets would not go unloved by any means.

    I am in the US
