I've noticed recently in UK, Versache Dylan Blue & Oud Nior are heavily discounted at half price. Dylan Blue at £53 at The Fragrance Shop & Oud Noir £60 at Boots. Is there any reason why all of a sudden both of these would start to be discounted quite heavily especially as other retailers are still selling them close to full price?

Today in NY I reached for Barénia Pleine Fleur from Hermès. Hermès technically markets this one as a women’s fragrance, but I have never been too concerned about those labels. If I enjoy wearing it, that’s really all that matters to me. And today I absolutely do. What I’m enjoying most is the soft white-floral character. It feels bright, clean and polished, but there is enough warmth underneath it that it never feels overly delicate or fleeting. On a sunny, warm day like today, it just feels right. More importantly, it puts me in a good mood. There is something very easy and pleasant about catching it around myself during the day. It isn’t screaming for attention, but apparently it doesn’t exactly go unnoticed either… I’ve already gotten two compliments on it this morning. 😎 So I think I’ll happily ignore the “for women” designation and just take the compliments. 😂 If it smells great on you and makes you feel good wearing it, wear it. Wishing you all a wonderful Tuesday!!
