Friday scent of the day 3/10

Posted by Robin on 10 March 2017 336 Comments

Barrel House Distilling Company Oak Rum

Happy Booze Cruise Friday! (Plus, National Mario Day, Harriet Tubman Day and International Bagpipe Day.) Our community project for today: wear a perfume with a booze note. Thanks to Koenigsberg for the suggestion!

What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.

My drink of choice today is rum, in the form of Serge Lutens Chêne. Perfect for what turned out to be a cold, snowy morning.

Reminder: on 3/17, wear a perfume by Rodrigo Flores-Roux, if you have one.

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2017, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Note: the image is via Barrel House Distilling Company in Kentucky, and shows their Oak Rum: "Award Winning Kentucky Oak Rum is aged for four years in once used bourbon barrels before being bottled at barrel strength. This fine rum is best served neat, on the rocks, or as a substitute for a fine bourbon in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan."

    I can’t tell you all how stunned I was last night when I came back to yesterday’s SOTD poll and find over 30 messages in response to my Roxy cat’s passing. You guys are so kind and loving! Your support means the world to me. Thank you for taking a minute out of your day to honor him.

    Yesterday was very cathartic for me. Between reading your messages and going through the cremation process, I’ve gotten most of my tears out and am starting to feel better. (That and the fact that I snuck a cinnamon roll into the crematorium and rubbed a little frosting on his mouth so I could send him off with one last treat. That was pretty darn satisfying.) What’s left of him is back home with me now, where he belongs, and I’m ready to start healing.

    No booze for me. SOTD is Aquolina Pink Sugar again, and it probably will be for a few more days. Thank you all dearly!

        Thank you. Everything happened so fast – we found ourselves putting him to sleep about 12 hours after we found out he had cancer – that I hadn’t been able to process it all. Waiting five days for the cremation gave me the time I needed to organize everything I needed to say and do in my head. After days of second guessing myself and wondering where I went wrong and why I didn’t notice he was sick a long time ago…I am so proud of myself for remembering to make the cinnamon rolls and giving him a proper send-off.

          Please don’t beat yourself up about that. I went through a similar situation a few years ago with my beloved kitty and aggressive cancer. I was sick at heart that I hadn’t noticed long before that something was wrong with him. But my husband pointed out that no one else had either, including him, our pet sitter, the vet techs at the vet’s office, and the vet. We do the best we can for our furry friends, and that’s the most we can ask of ourselves.

            Thank you, I needed to hear that. I tend to take too much responsibility/guilt for things I have no control over. 🙁

            I had noticed that he was sleeping much more a few months ago, but I figured it was a combination of old age and the winter weather. (Heck, everyone in my house was sleeping more.). I really didn’t know anything was wrong until he stopped eating a few weeks ago. Even if we’d found the problem right away it likely would have been too late.

            I’m so sorry you had to go through this too.

          Cats of all types and sizes are extremely good at hiding their illness! It’s a protective mechanism in the wild, that has passed on to our house kitties. Roxy just did what all cats do, so you can’t be upset with yourself about it. You can be impressed with her skills! Hugs to you…

      Your icing story made me tear up. What a tender way to honor your little guy. When our 19 yo died I made a ceramic “urn” in the shape of her favorite cat bed. That was a really cathartic project. Wishing you much healing.

        Thank you. I wish I’d had more cinnamon rolls. He deserved at least a million.

        I don’t have much artistic talent, but I hope to do something similar for Roxy and his brother Layla, who died a few years ago. Maybe even just a decoupage box to put them in with a few favorite toys and some catnip. 🙂

        -And I haven’t mentioned this yet, but should probably clear up any confusion for anyone who has noticed…Roxy and Layla were indeed brothers. They were the only two in the litter. Our vet told us they were girls when they were kittens. We got quite the surprise when we took them in to be spayed at six months, and the doctor neutered them instead. But by then it was too late to change their names. 🙂

          The decoupage box sounds like a really nice idea.
          Yeah, I think I said “she” yesterday ???? Partly because cats to me are always female until proven male! There’s something feminine about cats (and we do have a male and female now)
          Hard to change names at that point!

            I didn’t mean to single you out. 🙂 Naturally, everyone would expect Roxy and Layla to be girls. I had just used male pronouns so many times that I thought I’d better explain. My dad thinks all cats are girls, even if proven male, and still refers to Roxy as “she.”

        It’s funny, I think back on all the times I was supposed to clean the house, but chose to cuddle with Roxy instead. I used to feel bad about it, now I couldn’t be happier with my decisions. I spent every moment I could with him.

    SOTD is Pinrose Campfire Rebel. It reminds me of the super smoky scotches like Ardbeg or Laphroig of which I enjoy the smell, but not the taste. On me it’s definitely got that hint of dirty ashtray, but it’s not unpleasant.

    Vanille Absolument/Havana Vanille (the original name being so much more appropriate). This was a blind buy for me when I was a little obsessed with vanilla. Expecting more sweetness, it wasn’t my favorite at the time but I like it much more now that I’ve gone off the sweet stuff.

    I was going to were Hedonist which I think is very brandy-ish (I do not drink much but I think that is it). It is also very sweet, honey smelling. I opted out for the cooler Blonde Diam (SL) instead, was in a cool mood. I do love Hedonist though and would love her rose and cassis versions but not on a teacher’s salary.

    Celebrating with Miller Harris L’Air de Rien – I smell like a warm, clean person who just rolled out of bed. The person who smells like this likely imbibed some illicit herbage the night before rather than booze.
    This is not a scent to wear when you wish to be taken as a responsible, mature adult.

    Happy Friday to everyone. In the first place, I was waiting for today to post this pic – http://www.eatliver.com/wine-tasting/
    Don’t you think that perfume lovers and wine lovers have something in common? 😉
    My SOTD is Laboratorio Olfattivo Daimiris. It smells definitely boozy to me – boozy leather with spices and sweet notes. Despite the name, I am not getting (:lol:) iris yet.
    And, Robin, I love Chene!

        Not great, but at least it does not disappear within one hour. Tow hours ago I sprayed one wrist once or twice. Now I can still smell it, but I have to bury my nose in my wrist for that.
        I’ve just sprayed my neck and crooks of elbows. I’ll report later how the perfume performs this time.

      Great pic. When my wine loving son looks askance at me and his wife after we go sniffing, we remind him that he is doing practically the same thing as he swirls and sniffs the bowls of his wine glasses in a tasting.

        I believe I first realized that when I read the following passages in a short detective story (appropriately named “Sleuths on the Scent”, by Dorothy L. Sayers) where a travelling wine salesman notes the similarity between perfume testing and wine tasting:
        ‘Excuse me, sir,’ said Mr Redwood, ‘but if I might point it out, it’s not everybody knows the right way to test perfume. Just dab a little on the hand, wait while the liquid evaporates, and then raise the hand to the nostrils.’
        …
        ‘That’s very interesting,’ said Monty, much impressed and following the example set him. ‘Same as when you put old brandy in a thin glass and cradle it in the hollow of the palm to bring out the aroma. The warmth of the hand makes
        the ethers expand.

    SOTD By Kilian Single Malt. When I first put it on, it did have a really nice whisky aroma (I love whisky) that I loved to the point I was a little concerned about wearing it to the office. Now, however, it’s dried and is a bit sweet and too much vanilla for me so definitely not FB worthy. But nice for a boozy day. 🙂

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday!!!
    SOTD is Michael Kors Kors, which has both a emceed wine and a cognac note. It’s a “fruity chypre” which just sounds like two words that don’t go together in my brain. I first smelled this when it came out in 2003 at Harrod’s and just loved it but it was the only perfume to give me an allergic reaction, so let’s see if careful application keeps that from happening! My impression today is mostly just “sweet, sweet and sweet.”

      “Chypre” appears to map to “has at least one green note” and very little else sometimes, doesn’t it?

      …although I’m guilty of that one, too- I just noticed that I have “almost could be considered a citrusy chypre” in my notes for Tocca Stella, of all things.

    I’m in Habanita, no listed boozy notes but it feels like it to me. Also as a perfume that’s meant to go with smoking, it’s appropriate for today as someone has apparently snuck a cigarette in a bathroom near my office.

    I’m wearing M. Micallef Note Vanillee thanks to a very generous NSTer ( hi lizbee).It’s a very boozy warm vanilla extract with a hint of floral that cuts the sweetness. It’s perfect for the cold rainy weather front that has moved in.

    Skipping the booze today, wearing a tad of vinty Emeraude pdt. Good stuff.

    Incidentally, I’m all jaw-dropped at Chene being perceived as boozy. Really, it smells alcoholic to you, Robin? I mostly get “pencils” from it, but then I *like* pencils, and I like Chene (it’s one of the few Lutens that I do really enjoy, though I probably wouldn’t buy a bottle).

I’ve tried it twice and don’t care for it (if you love it, hit me up during the swapmeet cause I have a whole blind-bought bottle that needs a new home). I went with my current favorite cologne instead – Terre d’Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche. Mmmm.

    So weird. I was just reading a fun review by Angela that had over 100 comments–The Body Shop’s Cherry Blossom, and White Musk. They seemed an odd choice to review just now, but I noticed that the Body Shop has launched a new Musk scent, so that might be it… was chiming in with my own comments about one thing or another, when I noticed the date on one of the comments was from 2010! OMG!!!! The review was from Aug 2009. How did I randomly get there?

    In Mitsouko for fortification–no booze cruise for me this morning. Taking my son to the airport. Deep breaths.

    DSH Nourouz.

    My daughter and I had the good fortune of visiting Dawn Spencer Hurwitz’s perfumery this past August in Boulder. We spent about an hour and a half. I ended up loving Giverny in Bloom instantly, and bought a bottle.

    We were going to meet my husband for dinner right after our perfume shopping. I was paying the bill and I asked her if she had a scent that smelled like a fine wine, and she pulled out Nourouz. What a delightul surprise this scent is. Its interesting to wear, and let it unfold. I guess I do picture a glass of wine when I’m wearing it, so its perfect for today’s challenge for me.

I have the whole weekend off since I was originally planning on taking an out of town seminar which I can’t do with my sick cat.

    Just got out of bed to fetch Weleda Grenade out from under the bathroom sink. Big spray and I bloody hate it…bitter orange and herbal. Take one part Campari and mix with three parts sheep dip. It’s not even 7am on a Saturday and I’m already gagging. I need to put my body outside while I snuggle up in bed with coffee and toast and plan the day. I really should stick to blind buying perfumes as I have no tasteat all when it comes to tested purchases. International Will I Ever Learn Day?

    I’m twins with Deva today in Queen. I don’t much care for booze IRL or in perfume but I like Queen, so the notes (cognac or “aged tequila” depending on your nose, I guess) must be pretty well buried. Or perhaps I haven’t smelled enough cognac or tequila. In any case, it’s the first sunny morning in I don’t know when (23 straight days of rain) and I’m enjoying it immensely.

      I think there’s a sort of boozy undertone to Queen (sweet, boozy tangerine is how I’d describe the perfume as a whole), rather than a distinct note I can identify. This winter has really made me appreciate a clear sky.

        Good luck to you and your team. Do you root for the AZ Wildcats? I always root for them too as a good friend of mine is a grad and they’re fellow Wildcats!

    I’m in the theme-appropriate Frapin Speakeasy today. The lime in the top is a bit sharp but now it’s mostly pipe tobacco and maybe brandy or something.

      Seems perfect for today. All the Frapins sound so interesting–I really need to make a point of trying them.

    Well, for Booze Cruise Friday I am in “Rudis” by Nobile 1942.

    Top: bergamot, dried fruits and grapes;
    Mid: rose, geranium, carnation, saffron and cedar;
    Base: leather, patchouli, vetiver, immortelle, musk and incense.

    This is the booziest perfume I have, smelling of whiskey or rum, red wine, leather – actually the smell of a wood-panelled lounge in an upmarket pub, at the end of the night before it’s cleaned.

    If this were a cruise, it would be a Mediterranean jaunt calling at vineyards of Provence and Languedoc, Barcelona for some Cava, the South of Spain for sweet Malaga wine and dry sherry, and finishing by braving the Atlantic to call in at Oporto. (Or it might run aground half way through, if the captain has been tippling as we go). ;^)

      That was the booziest thing I ever tried. It was too much for me as I don’t want to smell like I dumped a bottle of whiskey over my head.

    Joining the booze cruise in Zoologist Rhinoceros! Today is the last day of classes before spring break, and I have to sit in on a meeting. But then it will be spring break! And I’ll still have to do a lot of work. But I won’t have to talk to undergraduates in between!

    I’m on the Booze Cruise with one of the best boozy scents I have —

    SOTD = By Kilian Single Malt

    It’s the London exclusive but it is sometimes available in the boutques. I got a set of 4 travel sprays from Bergdorfs. It is soft powdery vannillic and has just the right amount of aged non-cloying plummy booziness.

    I have a rant but I will save it for tomorrow!

      My iPad email does not work for some reason, so I’m sorry this was the only way I could notify you. Thanks for lettuce participate in your split!

    I’ll be doing the supermarket shopping in a tiny dab of Kiste, it’s potent stuff, I probably only need a couple of molecules.

    If the rain goes off later, I might go to the local perfumery and spray myself with the boozy things that I hope they have in stock. I’m inspired by you all to try Lubin’s Idole again, and Frapin’s 1270.

    Panache, for the first time since this summer when I accidentally splashed too much out of the decant, and nearly gassed me and my colleague out of a hot car ride 🙁
    Hopefully since time has passed, I can now enjoy its boozier charms, worn in my more typical moderation.

    Soggy Saturday. I’m wearing Nahema, not because it’s boozy but because if there were such a thing as a rose liqueur, it would smell like this. I’m projecting, in other words, and it’s byoootiful!

    Hey, I went to the theatre last night, delicious dinner before, good company and great seats for the play, which was Pyr Gynt [recycled]. Left at the intermission. It was cleverly conceived: great set, interesting motifs, visually, ummm, stimulating, and ultimately completely dreary because overstated and just, I don’t know, somehow dull. It was a waste of 31 Rue Cambon and a very pretty all-Chanel makeup. Next Friday night, I think I will stay in, wear shorts and a T-shirt and have fish’n’chips out of newspaper with the dear man and the purrs. Cheaper, more promise of good fun and good humour and far more satisfying!

      31RC is never wasted! What a terrible thing I said above! May Donatella and the perfume powers forgive me: the play was a waste of my time, but the perfume was, as ever, glorious.

        Shimmery in spades! Gold & brown & grey: far too glammed up really, but sooooo pretty! And bright red lips. Vivienne is very clever at making me look better and younger. The dear one liked The Look…it always amuses me to have A Look perpetrated upon my person. It seems deeply incongruous, somehow.

      I thought it must have a booze note too, so I checked it on Fragrantica and couldn’t find one. I guess we both associate the tobacco with Booze.

    I too am in Havana Vanille, the last spritzes in a decant from a perfume pal. It is quite growing on me, although I am not sure whether it will ever turn into a perfume for me versus a pleasant smell experience.

      I tried this for the first time recently–isn’t it amazing?! I don’t know yet if I like smelling like that, or if I just like smelling it. What do you think? Are chocolates and pine needles something you personally enjoy smelling like

        I know! It’s very different and seems like an odd combo but it works. I’ve not yet worn it out in public, I’ve only worn it at home, so still need to give that a whirl and see how others respond, if they respond at all!

    SOTD = a couple spritzes of Cartier’s Le Baiser du Dragon. A soft oriental with a hint of amaretto is perfect for watching the snowflakes outside. Especially since I am inside, all cozy with the cats.

    No booze today–I’m flying to DC to see my parents! So I went with the lovely, clean SSS Rose Musc today.

    Unfortunately, the boyfriend has a hypersensitive nose, and one smell of a super-clean rose is TOO MUCH for him. Grump. Will I ever get to touch Black Orchid or Winter Woods ever again?!?!

    I haven’t gotten back into an NST rhythm yet. I look forward to reading/posting consistently again in the near future 🙂

    SotD = L’Envol

    I’m just a few minutes into my first sniff from this lovely decant, and wowza, it’s a good one. Delicious but not in a way that calls to mind food, a difficult balance that is very appealing.

    Have a great weekend, NST!

    Once again, remembered to wear an appropriate perfume, and then forgot to post. SOTD was Arquiste/J. Crew No. 57. It smells a little cheap to me, but in a good way–like a movie that is not high art, but is a lot of fun to watch. I thought it might be a bit much on a warm day, but the Santa Ana winds have mostly shut down my nose, so if it was, I couldn’t tell. Enjoy your weekends, everyone.
