Hugo Boss's Orange is today's SOTD, and it's not a winner on my skin. I'm generally pretty sceptical when people say that a fragrance reacts badly with their skin. Often it seems to be a polite way of saying that they don't like the fragrance. Orange reminds me of the odour of burnt skin, (as in when you walk out of a tanning booth). However, I quite liked it when it was sprayed it on a tester blotter. So I'm coming round to the idea that some perfumes do, in fact, "react badly" on some skins.
There are several fragrances that I'm keen to try at the moment. (untitled) by Maison Martin Margiela has had a lot of publicity, and its mystique has genuinely sucked me in.There's a great post over at Dossier Journal featuring some moody photos about (untitled).
Yesterday I read that Clarins have just brought out a new fragrance named Eau des Jardins. As a long-time fan of Clarins' Eau Dynamisante, I am desperate to try their new creation. Vogue magazine describe Eau des Jardins as "Eau de Uplift". A fragrance that gets that kind of praise has to be worth a try.
The Beautiful Mind Series has also had a great deal of publicity, but is very hard to get hold of. And, let's be honest, incredibly expensive. But something about the fact that Christiane Stenger, the Grand Master of Memory is the muse for this fragrance makes it somewhat intriguing.

I definitely think the (untitled) is worth a try, I have a review of it going up myself later on today, would be interested to see what you think, I am horribly aware I know nothing about perfume, and I stand in awe of people like you, and The Non-Blonde, who seem so knowledgeable and accessible at the same time. ;)
I know the feeling-- a lot of good scent goes to die on my skin...
(untitled)-- Cool! Never heard of it-- can't wait to hear when you get a chance to smell it!
Hi Get Lippie - thanks for such positive feedback! Really looking forward to reading your (untitled) review.
Hi LCN - hope you enjoyed your Spring Training - tried to comment on your post earlier, but kept getting kicked off. Can't believe that you've found a rival to Black March! I must check it out. I LOVE the atmospheric nature of Black March, so anything that can rival it sounds intriguing.
