Tuesday and Sidney Bechet's birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
No community project points for me today in Cartier Baiser Volé. I am drinking a cup of Cacao Kisses black Colombian tea from Upton.
Reminder: on 5/17, it's the cheap thrills special, brought back by request. Wear something that costs $50 or below, double bonus points if it costs $25 or below. No points for wearing something expensive that you bought cheaply via a sample or decant or somesuch! We're trying to find real bargains here.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2019, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Wearing Guerlain Habit Rouge, another cheap thrill perfect to cheer me up on a cold, dark, rainy day.
Nice choice! (And boy am I sick of cold, dark, rainy.)
Hopefully, we will have some summer days in the future… As long as we don’t go from winter to…. winter!
It feels like a possibility!
Habit Rouge is great. I gave away about half a bottle I had in a freebiemeet, but I’ve found myself wishing I hadn’t haha.
Ah! We make those mistakes once in a while. I have given away expensive perfumes, which I later regret deeply. That is even more painful!
No doubts Habit Rouge is really good!
Bonus points — Pino Silvestre. It even comes in a nifty pine cone-shaped bottle. Had its hey day, I guess, at about the same time as Ms. Day. (Quite the animal lover, she, through her foundation,)
A classic! I have been meaning to buy a bottle for ages.
ck be – a pleasant musk aroma overshadowed by its popular sibling
You smell great today! I have a bottle of that one (thanks, Marshall’s) and like it a lot.
I went through a few bottles many years ago. Nice one!
I have this one, too and love it in warm weather.
That tea sounds right up my alley, Robin!
I’d love to try a cacao flavored tea. Do you recommend it?
SOTD: Séville à l’Aube, lavishly sprayed!
I had a quick Saks visit this weekend and tried the new L’artisan Bana Banana — wow! What a scent, and totally reminded me of banana Wonka Runts. I thought it was quite fun and yet I didn’t try it on my skin, just a blotter. Hopefully, we’ll see a review here soon!
Banana-scents are having a moment, I think, as I recall seeing another new one on Twisted Lily’s site recently.
It’s nice to see L’Artisan doing something a little out there again.
It is flavored with cocoa husks & nibs, so it is only a tiny bit sweet, and also has a touch of bitter balancing the sweet — there is a vague undertone of chocolate but not much more. That is perfect for me (I am going to reorder for sure) but if you are looking for a punch of chocolate you won’t find it!
Oh, and thanks for the report on Bana Banana, which I do want to try!
This sounds exactly what I’m looking for.
Thanks for the mini-review
Numi Tea (numitea.com) has several kinds of tea flavored with chocolate, from chocolate spice to chocolate pu-erh. I like the chocolate pu-erh, myself. (No affiliation) Let me know if I create a lemming.
Thanks! Yes, will check these out too.
Niki de Saint Phalle. I get bonus points for this one. I love green fragrances, and this is one of my favorites. Too bad I keep forgetting about it.
I love Niki de St Phalle, you smell great!
You smell wonderful!
Hermessence Cedre Sambac for this lovely warm spring day, and drinking a cup of black tea.
You smell great Barqs!
You smell wonderful!
You smell so good.
Expen$ive today in Pear & Olive. Not my favorite, too many coconuts. I am loving my Korres olive oil body wash though! I got the plain olive oil one and it smells great.
Good to know about the Korres, thanks!
I saw 4711 Acqua Colonia Lavender & Thyme in Koyel’s yesterday comment and decided to wear it today. Can’t find it on 4711’s website. Is it discontinued?
Oh bummer, it’s such a nice one! I’m wearing it again today because it behaved so nicely yesterday (and also because I need to reapply every two hours, so today’s use might kill the sample).
Fragrancenet (no affiliation, unless you count my frequent donations to their cause…) has it for cheap. Super cheap. You could have your own doorstop bottle of it.
Haha, is that where you got your own doorstop bottles?
I just looked and they have the original 4711 in 27.1 oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for $52. I just cannot even conceive of a 27.1 oz bottle.
In any case, I certainly don’t want a doorstop bottle of it; just a weensy 10 mL travel spray would be what I’d want. But given that the 5.7 oz bottle of Lavender & Thyme is $21, I sure see how you ended up with as much 4711 as you have. I’m just surprised you didn’t accidentally get the rest of them, too.
I was demonstrating restraint.
27.1 oz would be around 1 & 3/4 pounds of cologne, if I’m calculating right. That’s a whole lot of cologne. lol.
ROFL at “I was demonstrating restraint.” You tried. However, I looked at FragranceNet because I got curious about those sales, and got quite a bit, mostly samples. I’ll report back on what samples I liked.
Lol I donate to the cause also! Thanks for the lunchroom laugh!
As pixel pointed out, you still can buy it from discounters.
However, I thought I had time to finish my 400 ml bottle 4711 Original before switching to Lavender & Thyme.
If they discontinued it, I should make a decision soon.
Assam of India, for teapot Tuesday and the cp. I got my bottle during an Anthropologie sale, deeply discounted, I believe it was about $30. I’m down to the last few rows of 🐘’s.
Need more 🐘!
I am considering my 30ml bottle of Fat Electrician a bargain since it comes in at $42. Not to think too hard on the matter, but I’m curious if everyone still thinks of smaller bottles as bargains? 30ml I don’t question quite as much because that is still a full size bottle of perfume to me. What about brands that offer 7.5~20ml travel sprays at good prices? Still bargains? These sizes are especially desirable to perfumistas who have lots of perfume! I do find 100ml for less than $25 to be an ultra bargain.
I’m starting my day working from home and then my coworker is picking me up around noon so we can go visit another credit union’s headquarters. They’ve recently implemented a new system that we just purchased, so we’re going to get to see how they’re using it and what their experience is like. It should be a fun afternoon except for driving back into Seattle at rush hour.
I certainly consider them “good buys,” since I never use up anything so a lower price for a smaller size is always a good idea! But when I think bargains I am still thinking in terms of $ per ml.
Same!
I think of them as bargains! 100 ml for $25 is actually of less interest to me since I no longer decant and don’t want the 100 ml for myself.
Exactly! Or worse is when I buy larger amounts planning to decant, but the bottle has a terrible sprayer and I give up on decanting. Then I’m stuck with a lot of perfume I don’t need!
Right. Cost is an issue, definitely, but I also dislike the sense of waste when I buy so much more than I need.
SOTD is Adrienne Vittadini AV (found on sale for $19) over Crabtree & Evelyn’s La Source lotion ($24). I’m swimming in powdery white floral notes today!
That sounds nice!
Eau des merveilles for me today!
I think you can find the small 30 ml bottle for less than 50 dollar. But I am not sure.
Oh well when you compare it to most niche/indie brands these days it’s a bargain anyways
That is a bargain! In the advent of $400 perfumes, it seems like anything under $150 is the new ‘free’ these days.
You smell great and it’s certainly a bargain compared to a lot of the stuff out these days.
This is one of my favorites that I don’t own. I’ve been on a new bottle hiatus but at $50 I might finally cave.
Wearing Essence No. 9 Tubereuse, by Elie Saab. She’s a beaut! Maybe a bit understated for a tuberose scent but that’s part of its charm.
It looks like the whole Essence collection is done in the understated style. I have not tried Tubereuse, but I my impression of Gardenia and Neroli is the same.
My cheap thrill is Calypso by Robert Piguet. I bought this online for around $40. Thanks to ElisaP for bringing it to my attention.
I need to thank her, too! Pretty sure she sent me some of that early in my ‘quest’.
Awww, always happy to enable ☺ Calypso is a nice one and I got it on the cheap, too!
I should try some, one day, for obvious reasons!
Wearing Mugler’s unloved stepchild, Womanity. I only have a decant, but the full size can be found just under the $50 mark.
I love Womanity and don’t see myself without a full bottle in my collection permanently.
I love anything fig. I’m glad they’re keeping it around, even if they don’t really advertise it or put out a yearly flanker like they do for their big two.
Have you tried any of the flankers? I have not and it would be interesting to know how they compare. I am really happy with the original one.
I haven’t! The Liqueurs one looked interesting though.
The two of you are making me want to try this one badly.
I have a mini of Womanity….I never figured this one out! The caviar note throws me off? It’s a goodie!
I like Womanity (I’m a fig ho myself) but somehow have never bought a bottle, just have some decants and samples. (Sitting on my hands here. Don’t need a bottle, nope, nope, nope)
I’m wearing Lolita Lempicka, which is gorgeous, reasonably priced, and comes in a beautiful bottle.
Great choice, I love LL and it’s very reasonably priced.
Smelling great!
I’m wearing Hermes Rose Ikebana today, so definitely no points, but that’s ok. I was SO ready for something light after trying out a couple of heavy-hitters recently, and this is both pretty and relaxed, and just exactly my kind of perfume.
Have a great day, everyone
I love this one. You smell wonderful!
You really do smell great.
I went to the Red Rooster last night up in Harlem for a moms night out of dancing and fun. Needless to say, after several glasses of Prosecco I am commando today since I have a bit of a headache this morning. hashtag worthit
Everyone else have a great smelling day…
Feel better!
We all need a cuttin’ the rug night out every once in awhile. Glad it was worth it!
Hey, my favorite teamonger in Dallas started carrying that MF rose tea recently. I ordered some for my mother’s day gift, and it is sublime. Thank you for mentioning it. 😊
wow..may I ask which tea place carried it?
Of course! The Cultured Cup dot com. They have a nice MF selection, and stellar customer service. If you get on their email list, you’ll get 10% off codes on something once a month, at least (no affiliation, just dig their teas).
In this case, the headache was worth it 😂
Agreed!
I’ve been so out of the loop lately! Miss you all! It was a terribly busy weekend and yesterday was a “Monday” for sure. I did want to mention I tried Santal Majuscule yesterday for the first time and fell in love. It’s so lovely.
Today I am in Nirvana Rose which you can definitely get under $50 at discounters. I really enjoy the majority of the Nirvana scents, so I may do a couple days of those this week.
I love Santal Majuscule. The Nirvana scents are lovely too but sadly don’t last on me at all.
The do pretty well for me, especially considering the price. I always figure the cheaper it is, the more I can respray- what I really hate is having to respray something expensive LOL
I love the cacao that pops up. And the milky rose. Also the one niche perfume I smelled in the “wild”, and it smelled pretty amazing on this other woman (who is of Greek heritage). To be quite honest, it smelled better on this colleague than on me!
Wearing Papillon Tobacco Rose layered over B&BW Patchouli lotion, yum. Feeling all better today!
Glad to hear you’re back at full speed! 😊
Layering twins but with different perfumes. Glad you are feeling better!
You smell gorgeous! Glad you are feeling better!
Glad to hear you’re feeling better.
Thank you for all the good wishes yesterday, I really appreciate all of them.
I felt like wearing Le Labo Iris 39 this morning. Quite the opposite of a community project for this week but hecc, I smell fantabulous.
You do smell fantabulous!
Sometimes you just have to go with your craving. Iris 39 is so good!
Good morning NSTers! I’m drinking T2 Melbourne Breakfast, and wearing Demeter New Zealand + Thunderstorm. Double points for me. 😊
In other news, we adopted a dog this week from a rescue!! Maggie is a year old (we think), a Lhasa/terrier/poodle mix (we think), and a 1000% total sweetheart (we KNOW).
My heart is happier than it’s been in quite awhile. ❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️
You smell great! I love New Zealand!
I am so glad to hear your adorable new rescue doggy has found a wonderful home and
that she has brought happiness to your life. Enjoy her!
Congrats on your new dog! That’s so exciting!
Enjoy!
You are an angel! 🐶
Thanks, but the real angel is hanging out on my lap! ❤️
I saw that little cutie on your Instagram! What an adorable fluffernutter! It always makes my little heart happy another doggo has found a loving home. 🐶😍
Ahhhh yaaaaaay! Photos please?
Oops, forgot. Just posted on IG. I’m nlmcook.
What a cutie <3 enjoy the little snugglebaby.
So glad you a have sweet new pup to solace you.
Oh yaaaaaayyyy!!!!
Congratulations on your adoption! Miss Maggie has won the puppy lottery….lucky gal! #WhoRescuesWho ?
We feel like we are the lucky ones. Hey, luck all around! ❤️
Aww, yay! That’s sweet news and glad she’s bringing you joy!
So glad for you on the addition to your family Nancy, a new pet brings so much joy.
So happy about your new family member. What a lucky girl!
Oh, congratulations!!! I am sooo happy for you. May you have many wonderful years together.
Congrats! Lots more love in life for all. Have so much fun.
Way to go!
Congratulation on the new addition to oyur family.
I am in total opposite of the CP x 2
SOTD = Zoologist T-Rez layered with Tom Ford Lost Cherry
I don’t know why but this combo works like a charm. I enjoy each one separately but haven’t worn either in a while (whereas my Chanels have been getting a workout) so how better to stop the neglect? Wear both!
Commuting Woes:
– I sat next to a farter yesterday. Thank God it was cool enough for a scarf
– I was originally facing another guy and just in time, rotated myself to face away as he coughed into his sleeve but towards my direction. Yuck!
– what is it with people so full of themselves: “I woke up one morning and didn’t know how I got there or how my nose got broken …blah blah blah…and I said I didn’t want my nose to look like Brad Pitt’s (my thought bubble – yep, BP with a crooked nose is still 10x better looking, than you, just sayin’) blah blah blah and my doctor said he will fix it into position and it will still look ethnic.” Whatever. 12 minutes of this guy holding court… I had bad thoughts of him getting his nose broken again so he would stop talking.
Nothing worse than someone farting on the train!
I’m personally amazed that there are people who can NOT fart on the train – if you are someone with that much control over your farts, count yourself lucky and take a little pity on the rest of us! Believe me we’re not doing it to upset you.
Perhaps I should say smelly farts but I hear you on the involuntary release
At least YOU smell good!
Yep!
Omg! I think you may need to start wearing a scuba suit, oxygen tank, and full face mask on your commutes.😝
Some day’s that’s what it seems like.
I usually just silently commiserate over your commuting woes, but the nose thing makes me laugh!
His 2 companions were hanging on to every word!
Ah the Commute Farter(tm) Gotta love them! Sometimes I wanna shout and say “Eat More Yogurt!”
Maybe the yogurt makers can pay for tasteful ads suggesting that!
I think they do try! Remember Jamie Lee Curtis and her Activa commercials?
I need you to write a book of daily commuting woes! Also, I wish I could sniff your layering combo!
Or at least the top 100 commuting woes!
The nose story cracked me up😂 I would have thought the same thing!
You and I are like peas in a pod!
T-Rex layered with Lost Cherry, wow, hard to imagine what that must smell like. T-Rex was so nuclear on me, it must totally blast out the cherry. I used one tiny spitz of my decant and was bowled over.
One of the benefits of colder weather is gloves and scarves on public transit. I don’t wear headphones but I can definitely see the benefit when you’re stuck listening to someone’s obnoxious conversation/cell phone call.
I sandwiched T-Rex between Lost Cherry. OK this sounds kinda dirty but you get my drift…
Ha
Ha
Ha!
Love the sound of this!
😂
In the always reliable BoE. 👍🏼
Twins, Deva!
Hi, there! Soon we will be travel twins, although headed in opposite parts of the globe🌍
Indeed!
You smell reliably gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Yes. I just wore mine last week!
Vetiver Insolent this morning, followed by Seville a’laube this afternoon. Both under £50 on eBay, so great bargains. It’s a rareity that I pay more than that for a full bottle these days.
Those are great bargains!
Been really busy lately. Between work, the dogs and extra cleaning, I don’t have a lot of downtime to relax. When my folks come home, things will get easier. Wearing Miss Dior original today and loving it
Dawn, sorry you are not enjoying having the house to yourself!
Trying to use up a decant of “vintage” Coty Muguet du Bois, so I spritzed that on this morning. “Vintage” is in quotes because, even though I got the decant from a reputable seller, the scent is certainly not the robust beauty that I loved and remembered my sister wearing decades ago. So, either my decant is not quite “vintage” enough for me, or the stuff just hasn’t aged well. Win some, lose some, I guess…
I have a vintage mini spray, but I find it quite light. I’m not sure how old it is, though. Pretty, though!
Laughing at myself… can’t even spell the name of it correctly! My sister’s Muguet DES Bois was PdT, judging by what I remember of the bottle, and definitely was stronger than what I’ve got now, which is most likely cologne. I adore LoTV, though, so I shouldn’t complain too much…
Tuesday!
1) It is a beautiful rainy day here, after a few weeks of dry and sunny weather. We need the rain and everything here is already looking lush and perked up! Light rain and flowers go well together!
2) Am in Amelie Mae, a lovely fruity floral with a deep resinous rose heart. $40 USD and just lovely on everyone.
Well drat. We need dry and sunny after weeks of rain!
Helps us though to be less fire prone
True.
Loving the cheap perfume challenge! As Captain America says, “I could do this all day long!”
I do love a cheapie but a goodie….
Went with Beyonce Pulse. I paid $4.00 for a full bottle (after Christmas clearance at Walgreens). It’s fresh, fruity, and fun, but only lasts a couple of hours before it disappears completely. But for $4.00, you just keep spraying spraying spraying as needed….
$4, that is amazing!
I’m in Satori today. Not cheap, but it’s a thrill! I love this stuff
Me too. You smell great!
Me three! You smell wonderful!
In Boucheron Vanille de Zanzibar today.
A lovely boozy, spicy vanilla. Similar to but not exactly like Micallef Note Vanillee. 😅
Similar??? This is fabulous news.
Thanks for the mini-reviews about the vanilla perfumes.
I’ll have to go back the last couple of days and make notes for what sounds good to me. 
I am hoping to find delicious vanilla fragrance when we go to Zanzibar next month!
The weather has definitely been on the cool side for May, but everythings looks cool and green so I’m not complaining.
What a great Tuesday photo, Robin.
Wearing CD vintage Eau Fraiche 100ml £12.50, in its ‘woven’ black and white box, nobody else was interested on eBay and I got an even more vintage one not long after. Citrus notes quite intact, it seems this resists very well the passage of time. It’s deceptively simple but nothing else smells quite like it. It has become a summer favorite (so it’s a little early in the season) along with my favorite Eau de Rochas.
Another Eau de Rochas admirer here!
I’m on the EdR love train. I’m considering wearing it this week, if the weather would only warm up.
Wishing you good weather, Petunia, EdR is so wonderful in the heat.
Amyitis, EdR is so incredibly good in summer isn’t it.
I love Eau Fraîche and you’re right, for a citrus it holds up very well. My bottle is 30 years old and still smells great.
So glad it has another fan, Cazaubon, yes it’s incredible for a citrus, maybe some Roudnitska magic involved
I’m continuing with my personal project of wearing all my spring scents to decide which ones stay and which ones go. Yesterday was CdG Wisteria Hysteria, and today is Diptyque Eau Rose. Both are keepers.
You smell really good, Pixel.
I wish I loved Wisteria Hysteria more than I did, I sure love the name.
I’ve never tried WH, but the name does make me want to try it!
Agree…one of the all time great floral names.
Gorgeous weather today. 68 and sun! I’m wearing Terracotta. Just over fifty dollars at discounters. 🌞
Congrats on the weather — you’ve been mighty patient (or should I say sorely tested).
Thanks! I was beginning to think I was going to complain the whole spring away!
A lovely choice Lillyjo, Terracotta smells like summer and yes, it’s a good deal too.
Thank you! Lovely bottle too!
One of my favorite summer scents! You smell sunny and glamorous!
Well, I’m nothing, if not glamorous 😆
Yay for good weather and smelling lovely!
Thanks Petunia ! It was so nice here today, I could have cried! We are expecting more rain this week, but at least now, I have hope!
Had a rare day off and sprayed Paco Rabanne La Nuit. I know it’s supposed to be super skanky, but to me it is just old school feminine. Although I can imagine the courtesans in Toulouse Lautrec’s paintings with their powdered faces and frilly petticoats smelling like this. Human and matronly.
On another topic, my local Aladdin’s cave has a bottle of John Galliano EDP, the one in the box with the painted face, not the postcard lookalike. Does anyone know if this is any good? As usual the caveat is that one has to buy blind!
I almost bought a full bottle of John Galliano EdP on Ebay a couple of month ago, but it was expensive for my perfume budget. It was discontinued long time ago. It is a beautiful powdery violet/iris perfume with a citrusy opening and incense in the drydown. It has great longevity and decent sillage. I hope to find a good deal at some point.
Thanks! I’ll let you know should I buy it. Then I can report if this one had gone “off”.
You make me curious about La Nuit, I bet you smell great as I love perfumes from that era.
Sorry, I can’t help about John Galliano, never had a chance to smell it but I would just say it is pretty scarse so there is the rarity factor.
Thanks, Aurora!
Wearing Arboretum, by Library of Flowers. So pretty.
I bought this scent when a local shop dropped the line. Blind buy! And cheaper than usual.
I like the name, too.
You smell lovely. I also have Arboretum on deck for this week. I found it at TJ Maxx last fall along with the bubble bath at a super cheap price. The box is damaged but for under $10, I’ll live with it. It’s a good sleep scent too! A soft bitter green mixed with sweet dusting powder. So pretty.
Going with the cheap thrills theme in Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. Seems pretty nice to me.
Used to be one of my favorites long ago before I even became a perfumista… You smell good.
Thank you!
It is so incredibly refreshing… you smell summery,and you’re right it’s a great deal, and can be reapplied with abandon. In summer I put it in the fridge.
I just sprayed a little more on when I got home from this afternoon’s errands. Sadly, it’s more like winter here again, but I’ll try to remember that tip about refrigerating it when our weather warms up again. That sounds nice and cooling.
I’ll be wearing Trayee today, a thrill, but very much not a cheap one, particularly when I consider the postage from Luckyscent! Neela Vermeire is one of the few lines where I like all the perfumes, but the price sets a very high bar for acquisition.
I like the NV perfumes I have tried as well, but out of my price range. I have yet to spend more than $150 on a single perfume! I’m waiting for the perfume that so floors me that I decide I can spend more- but haven’t found it yet.
Dune Homme in the morning, then sprayed some Reminiscence Vanille.
Worked on a new shirtdress today and cooked a persian beef Ragout with saffron and rhubarb and lots of herbs. This was really good, never Made this before. 😁
Oh, please send dinner Tannina! I am happy we are having grilled steak and roast new potato, but pretty sure I would be even happier with Persian beef ragout.
Uber cheapie – Adam Levine for Her, obtained for about $6 at TJ Maxx. Mostly sandalwood and vanilla, lasts a decent amount of time. One of my best blind buys in terms of price/quality!
Ditto for me all around! Purchased at Tjmaxx, lasts a long time, great blind buy!!
I was grading final papers until near the midnight deadline last night. This year for some reason they seemed to divide up as either mighty fine or just rotten. Submitted my grades online and had about ten e-mails from students this morning alleging there were mistakes, miscalculations, or other forms of mischief. Ugh.
To feel better I wore Zoologist Camel, since it’s just plain beautiful. I do have something good for the CP on Friday, if only I can find it.
People keep asking me what I’ll do now that I’m retired, and I’m tempted to respond, “clean my house for a year”—not to mention cleaning out and vacating my university office. This time of life offers up good lessons about letting go of things!
People ask me that retirement question all the time. My stock answer is “Anything I want” with a big smile.
I was rooting around in my decants/samples looking for stuff to take to a Chicago Basenotes meetup when I ran across some TF Fleur de Chine, so I put some on. Not cheap, but I don’t love it so I won’t need anymore when the decant is gone.
I made white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies from an internet recipe and they were the worst things I’ve made since I cooked Peg Bracken’s cranberry meatballs in the early ’80s. The cookies were gray and raw in the middle. I boosted the oven temp 25 degrees and baked them 8 minutes longer than the recipe said and they are edible now. I can’t imagine how the original poster thought they were good.
Maybe the person who posted the cookie recipee needs to have their oven calibrated?
FdC doesn’t work for me either. Overall Tom Ford is not my house. Although I do like Shanghai Lily.
I’ve seen references to “celebrity” perfumes here and there. Sarah Jessica Parker’s perfumes seem quite popular with several NST commenters.
There’s a reference to an Adam Levine perfume a few comments up. Could I have recommendations for cheap but nice celebrity perfumes? The sort I’m looking for are light fragrances, but not too “cotton candy” (candyfloss) and not bitter. Somewhere there must be a happy medium!
Thanks in advance!
Personally, I’m a fan of Jennifer Lopez perfumes. The original Glo is a little to soapy for me, but most people really like it. I have Love and Glamour and Wild Glo which are fruity florals. I used to have Miami Glo, a good beachy vibe scent. Her perfume Still, is probably the lightest and is very pretty, a musky floral, if I remember correctly.
Oh, you read my mind! I’ve never smelled JLo Still, but have head that it is a light tea-ish scent that is very nice. Might even be a safe blind-buy?…
Good grief… “heard”!!!
You are right! It is tea, not musk.
Thanks, folks.
I’ll have to take a look — well, sniff. lol
Put on about 10 sprays of Heure Exquise edt tonight. Picked up my bottle for $50 so it falls right on budget.
I even wore it to work this morning as a test; just a couple sprays on my legs. No one said anything, so I guess it fell under the radar. I will leave the bottle out as a reminder to spray myself each morning for the next while; it doesn’t really smell perfumey to me so maybe I can get away with it!
No cheap thrills today, but I have a few for the rest of the week.
Today was Bergamote 22. My first FB after falling down the rabbit hole, impulsive purchase, still one of my faves.
Now testing Zoologist Hummingbird and Moth. Interesting smells but not knocking Bat out of the leading position!
