Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! Welcome to November. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm sticking with Imaginary Authors, but have moved on to Mosaic to match the nice weather we're expecting today. No points for the project!
Reminder: 11/2 will be To Autumn Friday. Wear a fragrance that matches John Keats, To Autumn. Suggested by happy888cat.
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: the Loewe Bunny Tweed Mini Crossbody Bag is $1350 at Bergdorf Goodman.
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit!
Welcoming November in SL Daim Blond. I had not worn it in a long time and I had forgotten how much I like this soft leather scent.
Twins! I forget to wear DB also until fall rolls around and I suddenly crave it.
Hi twin! We smell wonderful! ????
Smelling great!
Thank you! ????
You remembered the rabbits today! ????
That was a miracle! ????
Good morning Y’all….November already? WOW. The Christmas catalogs are coming every single day already…..
After last night’s Halloween chaos and candy (and super sweet candy perfumes), I needed cozy/calming/herbal/understated goodness. So I’m in Clarins Eau Dynamisante and loving it…..I don’t wear this one enough!
I love that one! It’s such a pick me up and the smell is so refreshing. I use it in the morning before my shower to wake me up
I need to look into the body products to go with! I bet they are really good….
Jada: the shower mousse is really good.
Somehow I think when I’m out Christmas shopping….SantaMe might end up with a few personal gifts….. 🙂 Thanks for the info!
I LOVE Clarins body products. If I were rich, nearly all my things would come from Clarins.
Ditto! Their sun care is good!
There skin care line is good too, I have been using their aloe vera toner on and off for years.
I can’t find this shower mouse online…I will have to look harder!
If one stays up till midnight and says “rabbit” then, does that count? 🙂
I worry one day y’all are going to tire of my discovery stories, but I did it again yesterday. I went to my favorite store, where the bottles are jumbled together in no particular order, and saw…. A bottle of Yohji Homme. I snapped that puppy up so fast I’m sure the attendant thought I was mad.
So it smells great, for those who haven’t smelled it, but it is personally not as earth-shaking as smelling Shalimar or Mitsouko (or even Feu d’Issey) for the first time. It’s just perfectly proportioned and seamless, all the way down. I’m glad to have it in my collection though!
Have a great day, all!
Never! Such stories give me a thrilling mix of excitement and envy
Aw, thank you! Luckily I only get one or two things at a time, so there’s always more to discover.
I don’t get tired of it, I just want to shop with you 🙂
And of course it counts.
Haha, if you ever come to Houston, I know the best spots. 😉
The thrill of the hunt vicariously thru you! Keep posting!! 🙂
Aw, thank you! Happy to entertain. 🙂
I don’t think we will ever tire of them. Explode of envy, perhaps.
Haha, no reason to explode! 🙂
I’ve done the “Rabbit 3x” at midnight before. I totally think it counts. ????
Glad to hear I’m not alone!
I said rabbit, rabbit, rabbit just after midnight last night, too and was wondering the same thing. Glad to hear it counts!
I feel pretty confident. :3
SotM = Insolence EdT
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! I remembered this morning. I was Alice’s White Rabbit for Halloween. Wore white chinos, a white dress shirt with clock face cuff links, and bunny ears, lol.
That bunny bag is the bee’s knees!
Insolence and I smell like violets and candy. Not sure if that’s a good thing this morning. We had less than a quarter of the usual little boos on our doorstep last night, so I ate too many mini chocolate bars myself, but we’ll see. I work with second grade students today, they will probably like how I smell.
Rock on with your bad selves, NSTers, November is going to be great, I can feel it. 😀
You smell fabulous, I have only sampled the EdP but it’s great
thanks, ltsg, as I got ready for the day I thought everyone needs to smell Insolence at least once, also L’Heure Bleue and Apres L’Ondee. I think of them as perfume sisters. ????
I agree Tiffanie, maybe it’s because they all have the guerlinade as drydown.
guerlinade is my jam, lol! 😀
Your Halloween costume was the perfect reminder for this morning, wasn’t it?
ha! yes, the white rabbit dress up did put me in the right frame of mind to rabbit x 3 this morning. I also wore a spritz of Terracotta Le Parfum from the clockface bottle last night in honor of the Alice’s perpetually late friend. 😀
I’m in L’Ambre des Merveilles today. I get caramel corn from it, but Mr. G disagrees – he says it’s nice (even very nice), but he doesn’t really get caramel from it. Go figure. Happy November, all! 🙂
I like L’ambre a lot. Sometimes it smells sweeter, sometimes more dry, it’s interesting. You smell great!
Thanks tiffanie! I don’t think I’ve ever smelled Insolence, but violets and candy sounds lovely. 🙂
I have been getting cat pee lately with l’ambre. This didn’t used to happen before. Why???
Oh NO! That is tragic. I hope it’s a temporary thing, perhaps connected to something in the air at this time of year.
You haven’t changed what body products you are using lately, have you? I had perfumes smell bad on me one summer. It turns out that the new sunscreen I was using was at fault.
with both eau des merveilles and with l’ambre des merveilles, I find that if I have not worn them in a while, the perfume in the sprayer smells stale. I take the bottle outdoors and spritz three or four times at least, then when I spray on skin it smells right again.
Thanks for the tips! I will try them all because I do love this perfume and want to wear it
It’s a beautiful scent.
Hello I am wearing Sadanne, which I wear pretty much every time I remember that I own it. It is indeed mellow and fruitful.
Points for you!
Comparing OJ Vanille d’Iris and Tsarina today.
Oh do tell!
Yes, please give us your thoughts, She-ra!
So sorry for the delay…I like them both but probably prefer Vanille d’Iris. Tsarina is nice too and is kind of a changeling where it smells different with multiple wearings….yesterday I kept wondering who/what smelled so good and it was my Tsarina arm. 😉

Rabbit ???? Rabbit ????
Love the bag. I’m wearing vintage Coriandre from a decant recently acquired from TPC. This stuff is very, very nice. At this point it is a gentle herbal scent. I understand that the newer versions are pretty bad. I know that the Guide (2008) gave it a one rating. I am assuming that was for the newer version.
My signature, a gajillion years ago!
Bag comes in all sorts of colors & finishes. Except cheap 😉
A bit cool this morning, perfect for Bottega Veneta. Happy all soul’s day. Looking forward to all those black Friday coupons coming soon. 🙂
Hiya, twin! I’m in BV today, too. We smell great.
You both smell great!
+1 to what Elisa P said!
Morning everyone
That bag is adorable.
I’m in Jasmins Marzipane yet again because I can’t stop this week. And I’m ok with it.
Also, I’m trying to behave, food-wise, but some sweetheart put Halloween candy on my desk and now I’m struggling to control myself. Ah the enabling…
I had to step away from the Snickers this afternoon…..was starting to feel pretty sluggish with all the carbs and fat on board! 🙂
I’m trying my hardest not to pick up a Jasmins Marzipane lemming…
Good Morning everyone. My SOTD is Bruma…still on my iris roll.
Lovely!
Once again I have forgotten to rabbit. Maybe I’ll just announce some day if I DO remember.
Wearing my sample of a soft green leather today: Cartier L’Heure Fougueuse (IV). It’s beautiful and could certainly work for early autumn for the community project. Chergui tomorrow.
I never remember to rabbit either. ????
I was going to wear Philosykos thinking of my late grandfather. He planted a fig tree in the neighbouring garden (which then belonged to my grandmother’s sister). But then I was in such an autumn mood I wanted something warmer and a little smokier, so I eventually went with Atelier Cologne Oud Saphir. I regretted this a bit when we went to visit my grandmother and I saw that the fig tree was cut by the new owners (it was kind of sick, to be fair – I’m no gardener to know for sure, but it did not look okay lately). So I guess that’s tomorrow’s sotd sorted.
Sorry about the fig tree 🙁
I thought about Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit last night. Does that count?
I’ll chime back in later with my SOTD.
I need one one more person to participate in the Hermessence travel spray split for me to add a 4th set. The cost for 1 is $48.82 shipped. If interested, dibs here and send me an email with your choice, a list of up to 3 samples request and your mailing address. I will be going to the boutique tomorrow after work so please participate only if you can send payment via PayPal or Amazon eGift card by noon tomorrow. Continental U.S. only. Thank you and you will make someone very happy.
Dibs. $48.82 to make someone happy is a bargain! I think I could make another person happy too. ????
Thanks for participating in the split, Holly!
Pretty sure you get partial good luck 😉
Whew!
I pulled out some cold weather scents yesterday and discovered that the sample of PdN Musc Intense I’d tucked away had evaporated down to almost nothing, so I’m in the dregs of that. It’s a fruity rose with a fairly light musk note and I wish I had the whole sample!
It’s a lovely floral musk with a gorgeous rose note. I think I remember smelling some ambrette in it as well.
Boo!
Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit everybody ! November is off to a great start with this lovely weather….. fall means Amber – SOTD is Fiore d’amber.
I love it’s single mindedness with just little spice to keep you interested.
This is also Day of the Dead, and I can’t help but think of my mom and all the times I took her to church. I miss her so. Maybe I will stick my head in the bldg today in honor of her…..
Then I think of tequila bottles, those beautiful ones I saw in Scottsdale at the Mission restaurant, such beautiful hand made and painted porcelain creations.
Enjoy all!
I read your post and immediately remembered a dream from the other night! So weird! Long story short, in the dream, I learned all over again that my grandmother had died and I woke up crying. Then, must have fallen back asleep and completely forgotten it. Ugh! Hate those dreams!
I took my grand mother to church (and the grocery store, hair salon, breakfast/lunch/dinner!) as well, and sympathize with your loss.
Oh my goodness Deva – I’m sorry to bring up a bad memory for you – maybe she will visit you again soon – (over the holidays) and bring you a wonderful feeling of being loved!!
Deva, I have those dreams about my parents sometimes. It’s so painful once you realize that it wasn’t just a dream. After all this time, I try to find comfort in knowing they came to visit.
Went to by brother and SIL’s house for Halloween last night. My niece dressed up as a mermaid, and it was super cute. She’s 3, so it was also her first time trick-or-treating. The weather cleared up long enough for the kids to go to only a few houses, but at least they got to do a little bit.
It’s much cooler today after all the rain and nastiness yesterday. I’m wearing Angel Muse.
You smell great Sweetgrass!
Back from Toronto where obviously I went to Lush and returned with, among other things, Ectoplasm solid (!), a bright, vaporous concoction of tangerine and grapefruit, so intensely coloured that it leaves a yellow streak across your skin until you rub it in. It’s great fun.
Ah, I need to go see if they still have that shower cream!
I have leftover Dior Homme EDT on from last night. About to color my hair, so will pick something else for later. Or just go with this again since I’m enjoying the deliciousness of the drydown!
Got up to a flurry of texts/photos from the woman who is boarding the cat we had spayed yesterday. She went into the room this morning and her window was pushed in and wide open and the cat was gone from the trap! She’s more worried about the cat, but the thought that her window was easy enough for someone to push in is pretty scary. She’s on the ground floor and that screenless window faces the back yard of the apt. Probably a Halloween prank by some kids hopping and roaming yards, but still. Hoping the kitty is ok out there…
Hope the kitty is ok.
Me too ????
Yikes! That’s a bit unnerving! I hope kitty is ok- I can’t help but think the worst when people do this kind of crap. I’m glad the lady is ok and hope she rectifies that window situation ASAP.
She actually thought the cat got out of the trap and opened the window herself! That would be pretty remarkable.
Fingers crossed for the cat and, yes, it is unnerving when your home sanctuary is compromised.
Thanks! Agree and I would’ve been freaked out, myself.
Oh no! I do hope kitty cat will be ok. Please let us know how things turn out.
I agree with Aurora – having your home sanctuary compromised is very unsettling.
Yeah, my 1st instinct would’ve been to call 911 and the landlord STAT. It took some prompting to get her to call her landlord, poor woman (she’s only in her 20s). I think she was in shock and also feeling guilty about the cat escaping from the trap. The cat is very feral so we were planning to set her back out tomorrow. My friend’s apt is far enough from where we picked up the cat that she probably won’t find her way back. Hopefully she stays near my friend’s apt since she has 15+ ferals she feeds out there every day.
Oh No! I hope you find her soon! What a awful thing to have happen.
Oh geez. 🙁 That poor kitty! And I feel for the person who was keeping an eye on her.
That crossbody bag is cute, price is not cute.
Sotd is Dryad.
I think it kinda fits the community project. Though it could use some autumn fruit for a better match.
Price is kinda silly, but they must sell because they sure make a lot of them. The elephant bags are even cuter 🙂
Wearing Guerlain’s Bois d’Armenie today, which seems to fit the CP poem, but I couldn’t say why.
Have a great day
You smell fabulous. I have a travel spray of this; I ought to pull it out!
Tea for Two! Got some good news today. I thought that the gearbox in my oldish car was completely knackered and that I would either have to get some really expensive revision or else get another car. But it was an easily fixed problem, so I’m good!
Great news! And I almost went for T42 today too, but at the last moment, my hand dove for Grand Soir. You smell wonderful!
Nice, love it when that happens.
Definitely a good thing when a repair turns out to be simple and inexpensive!
Does triple rabbit count if you wake up at 3 am and say it, then go back to sleep? I hope so. I still feel yucky, and I’m sick of being sick. I decided to wear Black Orchid in an attempt to draw out all the sick germs away from me. I’m using perfume voodoo ????
Hope you feel better soon, lillyjo. ????????
Maybe some Goat’s Head Soup ????????? ????????????????????????????????
????????????✌
Ahahaha!! Perfect!????????❤????
Hope you feel better soon Lillyjo! ????
Thank you, I sure am trying.
Hope you feel better soon! Do you have the flu or some other kind of bug? Drink lots of tea with lemon, honey, and the occasional shot of whiskey! ????????
It’s a sinus infection, bronchitis combo. I got switched to another antibiotic. I’ve really been fighting this all year, with some months being tolerable and some like now being almost unbearable.
Sinus infections require extended rounds of abt unfortunately. Hope you’re on the mend soon…
I think it counts MORE, plus triple bonus points because you’re still sick.
Yay me! Lol!
Time to kick the germs’ butt!
I’m trying, I was thinking if I actually do ever get better, I might start wearing a hospital mask to help keep germs away.
My co-worker friend assures me that ‘disinfecting’ with vodka works every time!
Maybe try that and your favorite strongest fragrance to kick it out of your system.
I’ve heard of the hot toddies helping, but this vodka strategy is new to me!
YES it absolutely counts at 3 am. I have insomnia and do that almost every month, lol! 😉
Good to know ????
Get better soon, lillyjo. Have you tried the neti pot? My sister swears by it to alleviate allergies.
SOTD is Eau des Merveilles (thunked my sample). It does not fit the CP, but for me it’s a fall scent.
I hate November… I do not paricularly like December either. Daylight disappears too soon, and all days are so grey. 🙁 Yesterday we had some sun for the first time in 7-8 days. It lasted 30 minutes or less.
I miss the sun too
Nothing is worse than February, but I am not all that fond of November either.
I’m not looking forward to a lot of grey, short days either.
Yay for Eau des Merveilles! After reading your comment I went and sprayed down my arms. I’m going to yoga in an hour, I hope I waft nicely. 😀
AG Encense flamboyant. Nice for autumn and winter. my last workday, Now preparing for holidays on the Canary islands. Summer, here i come!
Nice! Send us some sunshine
Oh, exciting! Have fun✌????
What a super cute bag!
All splitmeet packages have been mailed! Finally! If you’re expecting something from me, you should have gotten an e-mail letting you know that your package is on its way 🙂 I will definitely never host that many splits ever again. I did my very best to stay organized and hope sincerely that I managed it.
I’m still surprised that no one wanted splits of Songe d’un bois d’ete! It’s such a wonderful scent and doesn’t come cheap. Oh well; more for me. I don’t think I regret my purchase. (Do I?)
I smell really great today in Tam Dao. It smelled pretty meh this morning when I put it on, but warmed up to the scent I adore after an hour or so. When I first fell down the rabbit hole, I didn’t understand why people bought perfumes with openings that didn’t agree with them. There are so many perfumes in the world! Why settle for anything that isn’t perfect for you from start to finish?? But now I get it.
Ha, I still don’t get that!
But then I would’ve missed out on the spectacularness that is Tam Dao after the first bit! (For example.)
If it’s any consolation, I would have absolutely being doing the me-me-me dibs dance for a split of Songe d’un bois d’ete if I was in the US.
Phew, that is a consolation!
Songe d’un bois d’ete is a great scent. But I do not live in the US and have recently bought 7 ml from a split near me.
I hope it lasts you a good long while 🙂 Fie on distance and borders!
I agree about it being a beautiful scent. I’ve had the same 5ml decant for about 3 years now since when I do use it, I apply a tiny dot because it’s so potent on me!
Thanks Koyel! Can’t wait for my goodies. I do that too – didn’t understand it at first but realized that sometimes body chemistry is off or my nose grew (HA!) in experience and now I like things I couldn’t abide before. Can you believe that I actually had that negative reaction to Coco???!!!! Nutz0. Now I think I must have it…..
Haha…I’ve had a negative reaction to Coco every time I have smelled it [hides] More for you!
Which version of Tam Dao do you have, EdT or EdP?
Ehhh I think it’s the EDP? I’ll check when I go home. It’s really magical once it warms up 🙂
Tam Dao is a great scent, wonderful choice.
It’s gearing up to be a little bit of a spending spree today. Going to pick up my 8 year old dog’s medication and just ordered my nephew’s birthday gift while spending money at the Barkshop. All while wearing vintage Bal a Versailles. Now since I am finished doing the dishes, it’s shower time. Hopefully, the puppy behaves herself. She is refusing to go outside and do her thing unless she is on the leash. It’s got to be the nonstop rain over the past 6 days. I think a dab of L’Heure Bleue will be lovely.
You smell amazing !!
I have a vet appointment for my youngest grey, who has been leaving business ” gifts” a bit too freely the past few days.
Happy almost Friday! SOTD is remnants of last night’s Aromatics Elixir body cream mixed with a spritz of Caron’s Tabac Blonde.
That sounds like a perfect fall mix.
I’m in Lumière Blanche thanks to a lovely NSTer! I like it especially it’s nebulous dry down- I can’t pin down anything distinctive but just an overall good smell if that makes sense
You smell lovely today!
Thanks to you! And now dabbed a little of calling all angels – spicy sweet!
Have fine testing!
Fun.. Should be wearing my readers… 🙂
That is an adorable bag at a ridiculous price, but what else is new?
I’m in MFK Grand Soir, which is big and beautiful. Haven’t worn it since I was in Oregon earlier this year, so it’s high time to show it some love.
I’m regressing (although I have made a giant leap from the 70’s to the 90’s) with my girl Imani Coppola.
https://youtu.be/n26hAOmkmFE
I loved this song when it came out and thought, wow, what a great life “ride on into the next town” and seeing “all the wonders of the universe!” Years later, here I am, doing exactly that. Life is strange and wonderful.
Happy Almost Friday Day!
Saw her in concert and bought that CD, but never viewed that video.
Thanks! ! ????????????✌
I feel simultaneously young/old ! LOLOLOL ????????????????????????✌
Lucky you! And I’m with you in the discombobulating young/old situation????
Dia de Los Muertos!
1) Showered in Aromatic Elixir shower gel and am wearing an Uma Wellness Oil in Calm. It’s perfectly dark gray and gloomy outside, with the leaves lending bright spots of color in the gray gloom.
2) Dia de los Muertos! But also, after Halloween! So loads of sweets and treats on the table and looking at them makes my tum tum hurt.
I should be wearing a wellness oil in calm! Is it working?
I thought so!
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. Sure hope November has a bit more cheer. October was just weighted down with too many mundane chores and bureaucratic troubles. Not my forte at the best of times. Was going to wear Mandragore Pourpre after seeing it mentioned here, but the hand went to Habanita.
I think your hand is very smart, Habanita is powdery goodness.
I’m on day 2 of a headache, so no scent for me today 🙁 But I did go digging through my samples and found CBIHP Burning Leaves & Gathering Apples, so I’m set for tomorrow. Also excited I found some other fall favorites – Jacomo #08, Praline de Santal and Sequoia.
So sorry about the headache, but you will indeed be perfect tomorrow!
Feel better!
Hope you shake off that headache!
Hope you are headache free by tomorrow!
Happy day all! I’m going perfumeless today, trying to complete a embroidery comission for my sister, and fighting a sore throat from allergies. Not quite commando as I still am catching whiffs of the st Ives apricot scrub from my shower, which is pleasantly calming. Will probably join the Friday project tomorrow with Botrytis, as I visit family for the weekend. The honeyed wine and dried fruit notes just kinda embody the bounty of fall for me. And it’s a comforting easy scent to wear for a busy day. ????
Hey, how nice to have a sister that takes embroidery commissions!
ouch, hope the throat is better quickly. I like to eat three or four potato chips when mine is sore, the salt and oil are very soothing, and yummy. 🙂
In Youth Dew Amber Nude today, still wafting strongly from my wrists as I type, so I hope for my colleagues I didn’t over-applied it. I have to remember next time that it really is a bomb.
but such a delicious bomb!
Glad you like it too, it was pointed out to me in the Xmas recommend me a perfume and I wear it often around the holidays
YDAN is lovely!
It’s a favorite all through winter.
Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir is my SOTD
Smelling good!
Perfect for November.
Smallest of the squirrels was sitting waiting by the study window when I opened the curtains this morning. And did not run away when I opened the window.
(video of dancing cat in my instagram stories… one moment of many such each day)
Fourreau Noir today. Hurrah! It’s finally cold enough to wear tonka frags.
Fourreau Noir says autumn to me. You smell grrrrreat.
DKNY Chaos parfum, from a vintage 7.5-ml spray I found on ebay that was only half full and thus relatively affordable. It didn’t care for it when I first tried it, but it works very well on this beautiful fall day.
If I had SSS Tabac Aurea and Etro Messe de Minuit in dabber form and could lay down side-by-side tracks of each, I think that might resemble Chaos.
So I tried this with scent strips. It doesn’t quite work because you get a double dose of patchouli. Also the sandalwood needs to be a bit more prominent. It is the general idea though. This is a better guess than usual. ????
Wow, nice find!
In SL Gris Clair for the first time today. I was looking through samples to set aside some to send to my niece and saw this decant. A bit barbershop right now, but I do generally like lavender.
Going to the movies near the parade last night worked out fine. We took a little bit longer route to dinner to avoid crowds, but had an excellent time watching the costumed people stream by our window seat.
The Tingler was an absolute hoot. At one point, theater staff started flashing lights and the man next to me jumped up and was thrashing and running around screaming with The Tingler clamped on his chest. We were all supposed to scream to kill it, but I was just laughing uproariously. It could be the cheesiest, campiness movie I’ve ever seen. Perfect for Halloween.
I’d say Gris Clair has some real staying power on me. It’s soft and lovely right now.
All Saints’ Day today. We lit a candle at the grave of my grandparents from father side and tomorrow we’ll be traveling to visit my grandma and to place another candle at the grave of my other grandpa.
The air smells of nostalgia. Aedes Iris Nazarena feels right.
????????????????????????????✌
I went with the original Aedes de Venustas (the octagonal L’Artisan one, from several years ago), then 10 minutes later, remembered why I no longer wear it. It’s a little too screechy on me, a little like when a Lutens doesn’t work because of that buzzy, scratchy thing. Eloquent, I know. I wish this was smoother.
Going to scrub, and then find something more comforting.
There are only Duchaufours I can’t stand: this one and Patchouli Patch. Shudder!!!
I’ll stay away from the PP, then!
*juvenile snerk*
I’m wearing Dame Dark Horse and enjoying it; it’s among the little samples I grabbed while packing for my trip to Michigan. At this moment I’m sitting in the ER at the hospital with my mom who was feeling shaky and dizzy today. We’ve been here a few hours and they’ve run a bunch of tests and have decided to admit her for observation because her heart rate is so low. Not good, but at least they ruled out some scary possibilities and now think it’s a matter of medication, which can be adjusted.
Scary times in the ER! I hope that the docs can find out what is going on.
Fingers crossed! I hope that’s all it is!
sending you and mom a virtual hug, Calypso!
????????????!
Running late again today, all day. I can’t blame it on Halloween candy… I can’t really eat very much of it anymore. Digestive upsets will ensue. ????????
SOTD = Diptyque Tempo, courtesy of Hasujuuri. This truly shines in warmer weather! And since it was in the 70’s today, now was an excellent time to spritz it on. If tomorrow is another warm day, I will be sorely tempted to wear it again. I should have also added this to the list of calming scents in last weekend’s poll. Ah well.
I’m the same on Halloween candy, not worth the bellyache, it’s just not that great. I’d rather have some good dark chocolate from Theo or even Lindt. 😉
I still like Twix bars a little too much for my own good. ????
SOTD = Reglisse Noir
You all know whom I should thank, right? The Thunkinatir whom we all love and know as CM8! Very nice fragrance and I can see how one would need a super-sized bottle! Nice!
Commuting Woes No. 607-610:
Everyday this week, there’s something wrong with NJT, ranging from cancelled trains (AGAIN, after having published new schedules), to 90 minute delays which caused altercations, pushing and shoving by fed up and frustrated passengers (I made the choice of taking an Uber instead, $50, which I really should bill NJT, to today’s debacle of the stationmaster announcing that my train was cancelled, but both the track display and DepartureVision saying it is arriving. At one point, the display was showing 2 different trains boarding on the same track with people confused as to which train was boarding. The train was not cancelled (I’m on it), and while it’s on the track it was supposed to be on, the station announcement kept saying it is cancelled. Aaargh, and I am sitting next to a guy standing and chatting with his girlfriend, complete with sound effects related to his storytelling..
Wow, you’ve had a stinker of a week with your commute! ????
Ha, if you do get a supersized bottle and decide it’s too much for one person, I’d be first in line to buy a decant off you! She has really hyped Reglisse Noire up a lot!
i feel ya pain on NJT messes.
Once years ago, when I was an infrequent and unsure commuter, I was in the middle of a mess like that. I stood on the tracks away from the craziness until a guy in an NJT took pity on me. I looked so forlorn he walked me onto the train and let me ride up front. 😉
**in an NJT hat**
btw u smell fantastic in RN!
I’m finally getting to try Le Cri de la Lumiere after lemming after it for a spell. A kind perfume shop have it to me and I’m so happy to try it. Funny thing is, I’m not sure I love it. I seem to be a bit over iris which is mainly what I’m getting so far. I’ll tuck it away for a while and try again, but it does make me realize that I rarely wear my irises anymore. Hm, funny how that goes, iris used to be my absolute favorite.
Sorry you’re over irises! I still love irises and have been wanting to try this one for a while. I should get around to that.
Oh no! Iris is one my favorites too and I am not tired of it. I really liked Le Cri when I tested it several weeks ago when the weather here was still quite warm. I thought about splitting a bottle but I’m not sure if I need another Iris.
Not to enable, but is it possible to have too many?
I’m an iris lover myself..so I may not be a good judge.
Does this philosophy count with leather notes too? Because I keep talking myself out of the very reasonably priced Daim Blonde because I already have a couple of leathers.
I’d say go for the Daim Blonde if you can afford it, and if it is definitely different in either smell or mood from the other leather scents you have. Full disclosure: I’ve liked a LOT of leather scents that I have tried. So, um, I am not giving impartial advice.
I’m with Jalapeno! If you love it all the more reason.
Late to the party this night. I sprayed Miller Harris Tea Tonique this morning and applied Hermes Ambre des Merveilles (sp?) tonight for some amber goodness.
I am spoiling myself today- ordered some skincare items and nail polish from Ulta and baked a huge cranberry pie. YUM!
Yum is right!
Super late too but I’m enjoying my SOTE, Lush Ginger. I’m not sure if this falls under CP this week.
Yesterday I wore the last drop of Mitsouko edp and thunked the vial. I have a bottle as backup. Lots of other thunks with moisturizer, primer, and shampoo bottles this week as well.
Earlier this week I got away with wearing some C&E iris body lotion at work so I consider that a win.
Hope everyone is having a good week so far. It’s my Friday! Woo hoo!
Nice THUNK on the Mitsouko!
Thank you! It literally was a drop. My sample languished and mostly evaporated. Good to use it up!
