Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! Welcome to October. It's also World Habitat Day (and Jimmy Carter's birthday). And a quick PSA: Donatella will be dropping by tomorrow! What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Prada Infusion d'Iris Absolue.
Reminder: 10/5 is International Teachers Day. Pick a fragrance that honors a teacher, in one way or another.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2018, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: shown are wallets from the Prada + James Jean resort collection, 2018.
????????????☕☕☕????????????
Thanks to adanst, I wore Taklamakan SHL over the weekend and today.
Ambergris, sweet Tonka beans smelling of caramel, patchouli that plays hide-and-seek.
Very nice, if LDDM is TOO austere for you, this is the prerequisite, easily palatable version. Thanks again!
And thank you thomkallor, your M Generation is on tap for chillier weather (which I hope won’t be until December ????).
????????????✌
This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a test.????✌????
Good God, what’s better than a hairy bear in Taklamakan?! Absolutely Nothing!
Send me all the fall you possibly can- I can never have enough????
Pst… lets just go for it, and hope for January. Hey… it could happen ????????????????????⚘
Glad you like it Bear. I am one of those people for whom LDDM is too austere but Taklamakan I love (in cold weather). You are most welcome ????
You picked a good one, Bear! I have a partial bottle – w00t!
I’ve not heard of this one (I adore LDDM) – I should give Taklamakan a try! What’s the staying power like?
6 hours duration with medium sillage.
LDDM is stronger, on my skin. ????
Perfect description! I also thought of LADDM when I wore it. And Lubin Korrigan.
Wow, if Taklamakan smells similar to LAdDM, you smell wonderful today!
Thanks for the love, Everyone ! ????????????????✌????
Having a mini love affair with Eau Lente. I’m not too familiar with opoponax but I am guessing it is the main thing I’m smelling – would those of you who know both say Eau Lente is a good way to get to know the note?
Opoponax is sweet and balsamic to my nose in essential oil format. It’s also referred to as sweet myrrh. I don’t know eau Lente so I can’t say how prominent the note is in there
House twins!
I liked Eau Lente but find the current EDT too thin to warrant a full bottle. Have you tried their Opoponax room spray? I love it.
Another opoponax perfume is Les Nereides Oppoponax (2 ps as it is a French brand), also the drydown of Shalimar – which Oppoponax resembles – but then there is a great deal going on in Shalimar.
Reglisse Noire
Nice! You know that’s a favorite of mine.
No kidding? ????
I will have a lot more to confess to Donatella than I did last quarter.
Nothing to do with my SOTD; Diptyque L’Autre, from when this firm did quirky and odd. It’s a great scent, very odd, and strangely reassuring.
Tea will be Jardin des Songes (PdT), after a great Assam Mangalam this morning.
Oh man, I just looked up some reviews of L’Autre and between those and Eau Lente I am thinking I really need to spend more time with the older Diptyques. Someone on Basenotes called it “Brewed in the cauldrons of hell” which I don’t think they meant as a compliment but c’mon, how can I keep away now?
Their original L’Eau is also excellent, as is L’Eau Trois. I also happen to love Eau d’Elide and Virgilio but both of those have been discontinued.
This does not remind me of the cauldrons of hell. It does remind me of spices, loads of them.
I’ve only just discovered that Aznavour has died, he was one of my favourite French singers. Comme ils disent is such a truly brilliant song!
I’ve got to say, I wasn’t aware he was still alive o.o but yes, what a great voice! “Désormais” was the song we used in French class in high school to learn the future tense, and I just love his vibrato.
He was actually still touring the world!
SOTD is Cuir Cannage, and the cardboard-y note I sometimes get from iris is out front right now along with spicy suede. Funny how 60 degrees and raining feels so chilly in fall, but feels completely balmy and refreshing if it happens in, say, February.
Such a fantastic scent
OJ Osmanthus for an early morning at work on top of being Monday. And once again I have forgotten to rabbit x 3. Looking forward to seeing the Donatella posts tomorrow.
Thx for the freebiemeet on Saturday, Robin!
Glad it is/was fun!
You smell great! Love that one.
Sotd~Black Jade
Gotta love Mondays…..????
Ooooh, you smell great!
Thank you!!????
Good golly miss molly, you smell fantastic!
Why thank you so much girlfriend! ????
Hey Twin! Smellin’ good! My hand went right to it this morning.
You smell fantastic my fragrant twin!????
I just finished another decant, Smell Bent Hot House.
Oh happy thunk!!!
Nice!
SotD = Eau des Merveilles
I almost wore Infusion d’Iris but my hand fell on EdM first.
Breakfast: oatmeal with avocado slices and almond milk
Wearing: burgundy t-shirt with rainbow-heart-star graphic and an “I’M POSSIBLE” logo
Ready to kick Monday in the keester! Boo-YAH! Let’s do this NST, the world is counting on us to make noses happy.
I love your scent, want your breakfast, and will gladly hire you to kick Monday in the you-know-what for me! Please…
ha! hope you kicked Monday to the curb, tho if we could team up next week that would be great, lol 😉
Go get ’em tiffanie! I admire your spunk.
thanks, Petunia, I’m crushing it today. 😀
Your breakfast is awesome, you smell terrific and LET’S DO THIS!
YES! ready to rumble! 🙂
Great choice!
thanks, nebbe!
Look out Monday, here comes tiffanie!!!
haha! watch out! 😀
THUNK
SIGH – this was to have been a reply for PriscillaE’s decant completion.
Welcome to Monday. 🙂
Wearing Petis Papiers today as I was discussing it with a friend last night.
Does telling puppy ” go to sleep you silly goober. 4 AM is NOT playtime” invalidate my “Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit” at 7 when my alarm went off??
Maybe instigating playtime was your pup’s way of saying “rabbit rabbit rabbit”?
How old is your puppy? Mine is six months old and still thinks that 5 am is still a suitable time for a wrestling match with the 8 year old. Now she is taking her mid morning nap.
Ummm – “Puppy” was 5 years on Sunday, but has a silly, playful streak about a meter wide, and will always be a puppy.
🙂
I am sure it does not.
It makes me very happy that you called your puppy a silly goober. May all puppies be silly goobers!
Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit
I am having a Mariage Freres morning..toast with MF tea jelly and Pleine Lune tea.
I have some freebies up, but for pickup only. Sorry for the limitations but would love to see them go to the a good home.
Beautiful day today and loving the fall light and all the colors of the sunrise. After dropping the kids off I went for a nice stroll in central park to clear my mind….I had a brief but annoying conversation with a close family member that was politically charged. It felt good to shake it off during a brisk walk around the reservoir.
I am getting excited to finally read Ondaatje’s new book..I am getting closer! I am now 72 on the waitlist. Months ago I was 276. Has anyone read this.
Geez I have a lot to say this morning…Finally, my SOTD is Coco EdT
you smell wonderful!
I was just stewing about something this morning. Reminding myself that getting upset, or really upset to the point of disturbing my peace, will not influence the matter. Also reminding myself of things for which I am grateful
yes, you can only control your own mind and reaction, not the garbage that is coming out of someone else’s mouth :p
I got my copy a few days ago…still working on it! So far, lives up to its reviews.
Perfect! Just what I wanted to hear…
Most unfortunately did not get much reading time yesterday or today, and just realized this is a short borrow…I might only get halfway through before it’s due back and then I’ll be back on the waiting list!! Ha.
Central Park is the perfect antidote to whatever ails you!!!
Wow, tea jelly! Does it taste like tea, or does it taste like…whatever the tea is flavored with?
Hope your stroll this morning helped! I try to avoid those conversations, mostly. They can really do a number on ya. Snd I’m also curious about that tea jelly!
Do tell more about your tea jelly!
Hi all, SOTD is Le Labo’s Bergamotte 22, cumin with citrus & greens, it’s long been a favorite of mine. Breakfast smoothie is frozen cherries, banana, spinach, vanilla hemp powder and kefir.
Mini-sniff report: I had a great time meeting with perfumistas in downtown SF yesterday. We started at Nordstrom’s sniffing the new Chanel scents. Of the three (Venice, Deauville and Barritz), Deauville was the clear favorite, it had a great spicy/green vibe with a hint of patchouli (a classic chypre patchouli, no hippie vibes). Price point for all was $135, which came with matching body products.
Next was Bloomingdale’s where we smelled the Givenchy L’ Atelier line, overall impression was ‘meh’, the new release smelled like Pez candy. A no for all of us.
Third stop was Neiman Marcus where many of us swooned over Dior’s Patchouli Imperiale, it smelled amazing on Mando. Alexis tried on Belle du Jour, which was initially swoon-worthy, but lost steam in the dry down. I tried Creed’s Bois de Portugal which was a straight up scrubber but the Guerlain SA was very nice.
Barney’s was our last stop, where we smelled many Serge Lutens perfumes, many scents from his Section D’Or didn’t send any of us, especially at that price point ($600 per bottle).
We ended the day with a cappuccino at an outside cafe, where I befriended a little sparrow who looked hungry. Thankfully, I had a banana in my purse, she was eating out of my hand. 🙂
???? I like Bois de Portugal, but if ever a perfume had a scrotum, that would be it ! LOL ????????????????????✌
Behave Bear 😛
Are we not all adults here?
Or am I too coarse for the refined air of NST ? ????
HAHA!
I adore your sense of humor and meant it more of a austin powers way to saying “behave baby”
???? It’s all good!
Working at home, and the neighbors hired Larry and Moe for cementwork . OY ! ????????????????
Nyuck nyuck nyuck!
Bear, this Creed had a lotta balls and then some! ????????????
It was all sweaty cedar notes on me (it probably didn’t help that the allergies were going crazy).
I asked the Guerlain SA if they had anything similar to Philtre d’Amour and the two she recommended was the Creed and Guerlain’s Cologne du Coq, which was similar but I think the Aqua Allegoria Pampleune is the closest and I already have it. So $$ saved! Donnatella would be proud. 🙂
????????????⚽⚾????????????????⛳????????
Sounds lovely!
When I lived in SF I use to love Neimans..the cafe..and the beauty level!
Lovestosmellgood – I adore Neiman’s, the cafe/rotunda (their lobster bisque is spectacular!). I used to shop with Josie but then she moved to Hawaii. I think Mercedes retired because I don’t see her.
oh, what a fun day with perfume friends, and you smell great today!
Sounds like a perfect sniffing party! And, just for Bear, “is that a banana in your purse, or are you just glad to see me,” said the sparrow!
????????????????????????????????
Sparrow care… Thumbs way up! My workplace is apparently in the middle of a monarch butterfly migration pathway; last week I went out to enjoy them as they sipped on the company’s butterfly bushes. They almost seemed “tame” enough to land on me…
Wow — what a fun day !!!
What is the name of latest Givenchy? Call me crazy, but I love the smell of grape pez 🙂
It’s the relaunch of L’Interdit. If you crossed Kool Aide with Pez candy, that’s what you’d get.
Thanks. I just looked it up on fragrantica, and I am not sure about it. I have never smelled a fragrance with ambroxan in it that I have liked. I will check it out when I am in the Givenchy boutique n EPCOT next month.
I wonder if this means they will stop making the older L’Interdit fragrance ??
i’m with you re: pez perfume! 🙂
And I need a soak in the tub, my poor feet hurt today!
It probably didn’t help that I hit the gym at 6am yesterday so I was already beat!
I brought samples for Alexis (LL Bergamotte 22, LL Iris 39 and Kate Walsh’s Boyfriend) and for Mando (Tom Ford Moss Breches, Fendi’s Asja, Sandalwood soap by Roger & Gallet and Hermes’ Vintage Amazone EdP). I needed a lighter perfume today! My nose is exhausted!
Glad you had such a fantastic day! I haven’t smelled the Chanel trio yet.
Love the story of the little sparrow.
Wow, that all sounds like a fantastic day all around! Glad to hear that you came across some things that were worth the sniffs.
Your sparrow story sounds really cute 🙂 Glad you had a fun day!
What a wonderful day…and yes, Deauville is the best. ????????
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. Just gotta love Mondays, I lost the bid for that vintage L’Heure Bleue. It was beyond my max bid. But I am spending the day in Incense Flash to get me through the day.
Incense Flash will make everything better.
The perfume I was keeping half an eye on over there has sold… for over $800!! (discontinued Slumberhouse Brosse, but, still.)
I have not even heard of Brosse! I won’t even look it up. Nope, not doing it.
That’s an awful lot of money for a bottle of perfume
Oh bummer, that’s a beauty. You never know, another bottle may pop up somewhere! Keeping fingers crossed. 🙂
Rabbit rabbit rabbit
E&J Nirvana Black, with just a drop of Stash oil
I would highly recommend using the oil version of Stash over spray, it seems smoother, more nutty and is easier to apply targeted amounts.
My younger daughter dropped something under the oven this am, and in fishing it out I found a 1ml glass sample vial of a white musk attar. 1) I feel like this gives me some new level of Perfumista status, ha and 2) I am really really glad it did not break and infuse all of my future cooking with white musk
Hmmm..under the oven! You have a new status!
I have stopped asking myself “how did that get there?” and just go with the flow.
Hmmm, younger daughter may have been a little adventurous?
This reminds me of my nieces when they were a lot younger. The company store at my sister’s work location used to sell flavored lip balms at ridiculously discounted prices. She bought them 2 each. Pretty soon, she was wondering why they kept “losing” their lip balms and asking for more. She found out that they were climbing up a chair and tossing the lip balms on top of the refrigerator. One apparently got too close to the edge and fell to the floor. Smart girls – the top of the refrigerator is probably one of the last places one would think to look for lost items!
Ha ha – it sounds like my daughter and your nieces are cut from the same cloth. My daughter is tremendous – she gets in to everything – and she will lie to your face. She has taken so much of my make up it’s ridiculous. And she cannot handle lip balm’s, of course she’s only for right now, but Santa Claus will not be bringing her anymore and then Farms for a very long time
I bet you smell amazing! And also glad everything you cook won’t be infused with white musk haha
Thanks!
I admit…I’m lemming those little Prada items… I bought a little key case at the Furla outlet this summer, and I think it is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s now my little wallet with ID and a few cards, as well as keys. And such a pretty periwinkle blue.
Spritzes of Allure for me today. Oddly, I tried it the other day and immediate reaction was NO. Today it’s sitting very well.
What happened to our blue skies?
House cousins…
I love allure
I find Allure to be very picky about which days it wants to smell perfect. Glad it’s working well today????
You smell good!
Gosh, i love Allure. The weather needs to be right, though. You smell great!
It was gorgeous yesterday, wasn’t it? I see some blue out there now…
What? Donatella is due back here again? Seems like she was just here yesterday…!
SOTD is CdG Kyoto. A fresh couple of spritzes over the last whisper of CdG Jaisalmer left from yesterday. I’m going for Zen but pretty sure my day will be the usual chaos.
T-Rex has her fleece on this morning!! She’s not so excited about fall, but I’m thrilled! ????????
Donatella sees all. Donatella knows all. Donatella is always with us!
Egads, she’s omniscient too?! I’m doomed. ????
but she also forgives all 🙂
If she’s omniscient, why do we have to confess to her? Shouldn’t she already know? And shouldn’t we already know that she knows?
confession is good for the soul?
🙂
Exactly!!
A friend of mine who lives in Reno posted photos from a big hike this weekend. It was south if Carson City I think…Burro Pass. Gorgeous colors and lakes. Sighing with envy.
Nice! Here it’s just brown and more brown. I went up to Donner Lake a few days ago and things were just beginning to turn. Exciting times! I love fall ????
Glad to hear that you are finally catching a break in the temps department! ???????? Are you supposed to get leftovers from Rosa, or will the wet miss you?
I’m not sure about Rosa. I have been out of the loop of reality the last couple of weeks, focused on sleeping and getting the van completed, while trying not to lose my (very limited) patience with the ridiculously long and tortuous process it has become. I think I’d welcome a bit of a rain and wind from Rosa right now. A dust up of some sort would be good for my soul. Let’s stir it up- Want to talk politics?
Just kidding, Robin! ????
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit all around. So glad that my freebies have been claimed and look forward to sending them to good homes! Still going to be toasty here this week, so I haven’t fully switched out for my fall scents, but damn…it’s October already!
SOTD will be something smoky, maybe Field Notes from Paris, or maybe some incense…looking at you Deva and Dawn.
Yay October!
???? OCTOBER! Wheee! Field Notes from Paris is on my very long to try list.
I’m wondering if this will be one of those years where the weather is absurdly warm until Thanksgiving, and then it all falls off of a cold, wet cliff. I hope not.
I’m with you on hoping not!
Not here, it’s cold and rainy, and will pretty much stay that way until it’s cold and snowy.
THUNK! Wearing Atelier Bloem Iris, thanks to a generous NSTer. Such a beautiful powdery-carroty iris scent. Great longevity and sillage. It has made it to almost the top of my “to buy” list.
Gail, if you happen to read this, I would suggest you to try this iris perfume. I am sure you will love it!
Curious… what’s your favorite non carroty iris?
Aedes de Venustas Iris Nazarena.
It is really beautiful.
I don’t like carrotty – glad to here the Aedes is not
Iris Nazarena is really beautiful! Give it a try whenever you have a chance!
Yay for another THUNK to add to your tally!
And soooooo many more to come this season. It is becoming a challenge to finish all of them!
Thank you! I will add it to my list ????
Hermes Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate
Smelling wonderful.
oooo..that one is nice!
Me too! It’s a good one for a Monday!
Monday Monday…????????… procrastinating like a pro today. Wearing Santal Majuscule. I’m kinda on the fence with this one.
You smell wonderful!
Thank you ????
Monday I’ve got Friday on my mind…..????????????????
You smell good, lillyjo! ????????????✌
Ha!, I like yours better????????????
Oh, we’re procrastinating twins today. My get up and go got up and went…I was on the fence about SM too. We decided to stay on opposite sides.????
Ha! Finally twins on something!????
The Mamas and the Papas, right? ????
Santal Majuscule was an odd one on me. Just something that did not compute.
Yep ????????
I’ve been having a sandalwood revival lately, and am looking eagerly forward to getting a bottle of Santal Majuscule from the swapmeet. What makes you on the fence with this one? My memory of SM is pretty gorgeous!
Sandalwood and I just don’t mix that well in general, but I keep trying. Santal Carmin is the exception.
Oh, that’s too bad. I looove sandalwood. I’m with Koyel. ????
I love sandal majascule, too! But i’ve been through two samples without an overwhelming urge to have more, so something holds me back, too…
I’m celebrating the arrival of October in Cuir de Russie thanks to SunnyDay and the swapmeet. It is so gorgeous and goes well with the beginning of October and the sweater dress I’m wearing!
Sooooo glad it’s October….one of my favorites months! My mom, dad and favorite aunt’s bdays are this month, plus fall and balloon fiesta, Halloween, cool weather and so many other great things!
Oh, but you smell terrific!
Cuir de Russie is gorgeous !
Oh my gosh, looove CdR, just lovely.
A friend of mine will be there for the balloon festival. Wishing I could go- sounds amazing!
Glad the CdR is working for you! ????
Rabbits!~
Happy Monday!
1) I am in the Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere and Uma Pure Calm oil on my pulse points and on my scalp.
2) All of a sudden, the tree turned color, seemingly overnight. The campus looks really pretty and an extra long walk is warranted today.
Sounds beautiful and you smell fab!
Rozy VdP because it seemed like the best antidote to Monday.
Now pondering a SOTE, post gym and all of that malarky…
…and settled on Kiste.
Sampling DSH Bakul Medjool which is dusty, spicy and interesting. Was sampling something else earlier and realized that I’m less patient with scents that aren’t me now that I’ve had a custom scent made.
Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours from a recently acquired mini-for comparison’s sake and because I thought I liked it better than the original when I tried it a while back.
It’s nice, maybe a bit sweeter and richer but essentially very similar. I think I like the original better, though.
Yes, it’s Monday again, but I have Thurs and Fri off, so a short week for me, yay!
Glad to get this imput. Yay for a short week!
Yay! I did the rabbits this morning!
SOTD = SSS Equestrian
Earning my brownie points for this Friday’s CP. The apple is very pronounced today!
This Saturday, I am going to a get-together at a friend’s house. God help me if talk turns political. I will not engage. One of the friends actually had a visceral reaction and had to be hospitalized and kept overnight in November 2016.
well…sounds like your future Saturday and my past weekend were the same
There will be enough people there with whom to discuss something else.
Equestrian is what I’m planning on wearing Friday too for the apple note. ????
I can use up my travel spray because I managed to snag a larger bottle from her closing down inventory.
You smell gorgeous! Any mention of politics these days, and people are getting ready to get down in a big way. And that’s all I’ll say. ????
Disengage ????????????
Good luck with your event on Saturday!
Thank you, jalapeño!
I fear the arrival of Donatella tomorrow! I’ve been buying out of control the past couple of months!
SOTD is Incense Extrême from Tauer. Liked it but maybe not a FB-love.
She will forgive!
It’s a perfect fall day here, overcast and cool this morning but sunny and warm is forecast for this afternoon. I’m wearing Bombay Bling.
I was really surprised at how warm it got this afternoon…started the day in a sweater, ended in shorts.
Hello everyone,
Wearing Aedes Oeillet Bengale because it’s cold & it’s time to bring those autumn scents to the front of my perfume wardrobe.
Good choice
Nice
Comparing Note Vanillee and recent SDV today.
My lucky co-workers are enjoying spicy vanilla goodness in my wake. ????
Donatella is coming to visit, and I have done some damage with your evil bay discount codes..
She forgives (always)
In Vanilla Flash – brightening up a dreary day.
I’m starting to wonder where the Delacourte musk discovery set I ordered is – it’s been 17 days and the vanilla set had arrived in less then a week….
My musk set took over 2 weeks to arrive as well–I’d almost forgotten it by the time it showed up.
Good to know – fingers crossed
Trying out Guerlain Un Dimanche a la Campagne for the first time from my recently arrived decant. It’s really pleasant and easy to wear – citrus, herbs, green, and white musk. Something easy for a Monday. Also wearing an easy outfit – a new with tags J. Jill black and white buffalo plaid shirtdress find from Goodwill.
Great goodwill find..
Great find!
I’ve never even heard of this scent, but it sounds really lovely 🙂
RIP Charles Aznavour
It was a Rive Gauche day today, it still radiates.
Today is my 30th wedding anniversary! Hard to believe. We sure are getting old, but it beats the alternative. No big celebration, we are saving that for our trip to Jamaica in December. I did get hubby a bottle of Oyedo. SOTD is Vanilla Hinoki. Have to close at the shelter tonight. Yesterday was a 14 hour day, so I’m glad I don’t go in until 4.
have a wonderful anniversary
Happy anniversary! A trip to Jamaica in December sounds like an amazing, belated way to celebrate 🙂
Happy Anniversary Jirish!
Happy Anniversary!
Happy anniversary, Irish! 30 years= amazing!
Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations on your Pearl Anniversary, aka #30! May you both have many more happy years together.
Wishing many more happy years together!
Happy anniversary and wishing you many more!
Happy Anniversary, jirish!
Happy Anniversary! And enjoy your upcoming vacation ????
30! Good for you both, that’s lovely.
Wow, Donatella is back already?? I actually think I’ve been really good this quarter. I think everything I’ve bought has been in anticipation of the upcoming splitmeet, which is kind of like I haven’t bought anything at all, right?
I’m in the last of a sample of Borsari Violetta di Parma today! It’s a very nice, comforting violet scent, but I am not sure I will need more of it now that my sample is empty.
Right…and I think you were über bad last quarter so you have a high threshold to exceed in order to be worse.
put on SL fleurs d’oranger, get to work, the power is out(e.g., no AC). it was starting to get a little close there, until they let us out to work from home…
those prada wallets are sweet as can be!
Oh, glad you did not have to stay!
October came as a surprise to me and I completely forgot to even try to rabbit rabbit rabbit! Wearing Fendi Theorema today so it’s all good. Have a great week NSTers!
Theorema always wins!
Trying out the original Omnia on a rare rainy day in AZ. The spice notes are very muted on me and it mostly smells like cocoa butter. Not bad, but not exciting.
Now imagine you’re trying it in a Sephora in 2003 and everything else you’ve smelled so far has smelled how everything in Sephora smelled in 2003…
My kids and I remembered to rabbit this morning- yay!
SOTD is Volutes edt, still lovely and noticeable this evening.
October is such a wonderful month, and Were enjoying crisp and bright sunny days at the moment, here in Kipling country.
Volutes edt was made for october!!
Great choice for October!
I love that your kids participate in rabbit x3!
Wearing tiniest spritz of infusion d’iris. My spirit scent if the day is Eau des Merveilles. That’s happening in a parallel universe somewhere where scents are allowed in the office ????
So last night was Cartier Must Gold again. Green and vanilla? Check!
Green and vanilla sounds intriguing- what would you liken that too smell-wise?
I’m wearing some of my (original) Balmain Ivoire. I’ve seen people mention it recently and that prompted me to dig out my bottle, which I picked up some time ago in an antique shop for not very much money. I’d thought I didn’t like it and even that it might have gone bad, but now that I’m re-trying it, it’s wonderful! This is a super-aldehydic scent. I don’t know if when people discuss it favourably they’re speaking of the old one from 1979 or the newer one from 2012. If the latter, should I try it too? I’m having a week of dealing with eye doctor, dentist, financial planner, and physical therapist–not great fun.
I’ve only ever smelled the now vintage Ivoire from 1979. I think most people here are commenting on the 2012 iteration. I haven’t smelled that one.
Great find at your antique shop! You smell amazing. It should help you get through that jam-packed week.
I haven’t tried the new version but I believe it’s pretty far removed from the vintage.
I’m wearing Cire Trudon Olim and it is smelling very good on a rainy fall day.
You smell beautiful! That’s one of my favorites of the bunch.
I think it is the one I like best from them.
It’s tied with Revolution for me, but they’re so different and serve different moods.
????????????! I had a feline-related comment in the wee hours of the morning, but I did remember the rabbits when I was fully conscious.
I went to the birthday party of a friend’s 3 year old over the weekend. All of the kids were well behaved, but 4 toddlers and a 7-year old can get a little rambunctious. Holy sensory overload Batman!!!
SOTD = Aromatics in White from the sample stash. If anyone is looking for a quiet, well behaved floral scent that can fly under the radar (aka safe for work), this just might do. ????
I think you are right about Aromatics in White. I got mine at Marshalls.
Have you tried wearing it around your mom yet? ????
SOTD- Chanel No5 L’Eau- can’t get enough of it! I received my bottle last Friday and was wearing it every day since.
So far I bought 3 bottles of perfume this year ( my usual number )- Chanel I mentioned, EA Green Tea and VC&A California Riverie- no more FB purchases allowed. On the other hand, I am looking forward to the next splitmeet- would like to add couple more decants to my collection 🙂
In the cute bottle, no less!
🙂
