Happy Almost-Friday! What fragrance are you wearing?
I am still out of town but I'm heading home shortly. I'm also still commando, and I'm still a bit behind on reading the comments.
Reminder: 2/28 will be Unicorn Friday...wear a perfume you suspect no one else (or almost no one else) on Now Smell This owns, or something that you very rarely see worn or mentioned. Suggested by Oakland Fresca.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2020, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Not a unicorn at all — the perfume I put on at bedtime last night was Nicolai Fig-Tea. It’s a comfort scent for me.
Today I’ll see what I can find that’s more obscure.
That’s a great one, but I do think its fans are a small club.
HUGE fan here as well!
Ohhh, I ADORE Fig Tea! One of my favorites from the line.
Cause of death: Poison ☠.
Evidence can be found on my nightstand.
Happy almost Friday, everyone!
LOL 😂
You smell great!
I’d better smell great!😀
PL7: Dead and Loving It.
You smell classy and gothic!
*PL67
Thank you, Glannys! 😄
And I love Poison despite killing me! 😉
Hahaha!😆 That’s great! Back to the heavy-hitters, I see.
It been quite a ride! I am barely surviving! 😆😁
Let’s see you wear Giorgio one day!
It may show up tomorrow! I need to be mentally prepared to face it. Not sure if I will reach that point for tomorrow. But my second option could also send me directly to the grave!
Here’s a song to match your SOTD:
https://youtu.be/Qq4j1LtCdww
I like both of them!
Thank you! I had forgotten about Alice Cooper and Poison. Love the song, as well as the perfume! Perfect match!
Smelling fabulous!
Thank you!
Black Cashmere for me today. I’ve eased up on using multiple sprays with this one and now just do one solid spray. It’s my mystery scent as I always feel mysterious when I wear it. Definitely a top 5 scent and the only one where I actually have a BUB – ha!
Off to get my 2nd cup of coffee!
I wish I had purchased a BUB of Black Cashmere before it was discontinued. You smell fantastic!
Happy to share any time. This stuff is potent and I’ve got plenty to go around.
Thank you! I will keep it in mind! 😉
I stalked eBay for quite some time before finding a bean bottle of that beauty. You smell wonderful today. 😊
Yay! That’s what I did
You smell great! I’m contemplating a back-up of BC as well though I’m probably to the point where my perfume will outlive me! 💁
Lol. So true!
I got a bottle at an outlet but was disappointed to find that it was some sweet stuff, not the rich cashmere scent that had once been sold under that name.
Are you talking about Liquid Cashmere Black which is a sweet, syrupy, fruity flanker, so different from the original incensy Black? Or maybe the original was reformulated and I was not aware of it.
If it was called “Liquid” I did not notice it.
Ha! I think we were typing simultaneously.
😀
I’m wondering if that was Liquid Cashmere Black (which is a sort-of flanker to the Cashmere Mist series)?That one was sweet and is nothing like Black Cashmere. Confusing names 🙄
I would not call BC sweet at all. It’s quite unisex, actually, and bracing on first application but it mellows just beautifully.
That was the scent I was trying to buy.
No unicorns here – I’m in Eau des Merveilles layered with Eau Claire des Merveilles. Happy Friday Eve, everyone!
You smell sooooooooo good! #MerveillesFan
Ooh, that sounds great!
No unicorn, although it is a house I rarely wear a fragrance from, I’m in Coromandel extrait de parfum. It’s very beautiful but does not quite hit the spot somehow.
You still smell great!
Coromandel in extrait must be incredibly plush and sumptuous!
Wow.
Good morning Y’all!
Shakin’ it around the office in Shakira Elixir. I can’t dance like Shakira (I’d be in traction afterward) but I can smell like her, and that’s kinda the same thing!
Did you see that story that the FCC got over 1,300 complaints about Shakira’s (and JLo’s) halftime show? Golly, have those folks watched tv in the last decade?
LOL For real! I watched it and thought it was a little bit much for prime time, but then again there’s lots on TV that is a bit much!
She and J.Lo looked gorgeous and rocked it…
Well, 1.3K complains out of 100M+ viewers – you might say, there was not a peep
“And then, in 2002, Axe arrived. A body spray meant to split the difference between deodorant and cologne, Axe bulldozed the senses with a fragrance so strong it seemed to precede the bodies it clung to — like Febreze, or a bad reputation. Almost 20 years later, it hasn’t managed to shake its association with the scent of middle school.”
https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2020/2/12/21122543/axe-body-spray-teenage-boys-ads
My 14 yr old son smells of Axe sometimes…..it’s better than the alternative any day!
SO TRUE 😀
TRUTH.
Not a Unicorn, but beautiful – SOTD = Seville a L’Aube. My bottle is almost gone. I hope a replacement will be the same. So many things I thought i would acquire one day are now not available, or apparently adjusted beyond recognition. Just in case, what are new excellent Orange Blossom scents that might take the place of this one as a pillar of a collection? I am looking at California Reverie, and the Oranges Azemour (SP??) Robin wore the other day as possibilities…
Have you smelled those 2 before? I’ve only smelled (and own) CR, but wouldn’t imagine it a sub for Seville. Seville is much richer and chewy, while CR is light and airy, with more jasmine to my nose than orange blossom.
Maybe PdN Neroli Intense? It’s richer and the beeswax makes it a bit chewy, too. Also, maybe Hiram Greene Dilettante?
I quite like L’Artisan’s Histoire des Orangers!
And I agree with Elisa that California Reverie is much more about jasmine.
If you need more Seville L’Aube and are interested, let me know. I have a bottle that does not get too much love.
oh very interested! You can email me at my username in the land of g mayle…
Great! I will email you tonight when I get home.
Hi Meredifay, Not sure if you received my email last night regarding Seville L’Aube. You can email me anytime at monica67@aol.com.
My emails to you are getting bounced. Sorry.
I will suggest Hiram Green Dilettante, but you need to try it soon as it was just announced today it is being discontinued. :-(. It is on sale at his website for 20% off, code Dilettante.
NOOOOOOO thanks for the heads up! I never buy BUBs but the sprayer on my mini must be generous because I’ve used half of it up already!
And you’re quite right to suggest it, it is my absolute favorite orange blossom. And now I have bought it in Large.
Azemour is wonderful, but perhaps has a little more orange in it too, as well as the orange blossom. I love it!
I was just wearing some of the original Bijan for women and it was quite an orange blossom oriental. Maybe a bit more 80s than SAL but fun regardless.
Bijan is so awesome!
Not sure if this is considered a unicorn, but I’m in Valentino V. I remember buying it when it was released in 2005, upon first wearing. The bottle is about half gone now and the top notes seem faint. It was a good work scent!
Also have a couple of spritzes of Paris-Biarritz. Really like this one.
I sure don’t hear it mentioned, so it might well be a unicorn here!
I own V for Valentino pour homme! It’s a great no brainer scent.
There were several flankers for V, none of which I’d heard of….so, more unicorns!
Can’t go wrong with Chanel, I am liking that one too. This week, I sprayed some on from a sample while with a friend and she turned her nose up to it, then proceeded to douse herself in Bombshell by VS. Ugh. And then an overdose of bronzer too lol.
It is a grey rainy day, and the only bright spot outside is a group of bullfinches feeding on the trees near my window. So I wanted to pick a sunny scent, contrasting with the weather.
Salvatore Ferragamo Tuscan Soul – a herbal/citrus scent which transports me to a grove of citrus trees with lush green herbs. Leans toward masculine but is still suitable for a woman. And a unicorn, I think.
By the way, only two days till March!
Grey rainy day in Portland Maine too. Have not yet checked what sort of weather I am flying into (am sitting in the airport now).
Yay for March!
I didn’t realize you were in Portland! One of my favorite smaller cities. I have cousins who live outside Brunswick.
I love Portland too! My dad has lived there for some years. I have never been to Brunswick.
I am wearing a unicorn today, one that I rarely wear anymore. I’m wearing Scherrer 2 by Jean-Louis Scherrer.
Today’s SOTD is not my unicorn, it is Coty Muguet des Bois, thanks to a kind NSTer! Very light and fresh, but I wish it lasted longer on my skin. Unscented moisturizer helps.
The first perfume I owned in a full-sized bottle all to myself. I am guessing I was 14 or 15. I had several minis that had been given to me as gifts, but the Coty I bought with my own money.
You had great taste even then!
I loved that as a teenager, and always wished it lasted longer. It was inexpensive so I would douse my self in it, trying to get it to last all day long, which of course never happened…
Such a great scent for younger women! I think a similar great option today is Jessica McClintock.
I used to buy some of that for my mother for Christmas when I was a kid. I have fond memories of it.
That is so sweet! I used to save up to buy my mom perfume too.
That is the favorite perfume of a dear friend of mine. She has great memories of Muguet des Bois.
It’s a classic.
I am assuming this is a unicorn. I am in an oudh perfume oil from (I think) Rasasi perfumes. I bought a lot of five bottles of scent at an estate sale that included a crystal stopper bottle with 5-6 ml of scent in it that looks very much like Dhaneloudh Al Nafees. This stuff is a powerhouse and I have to be careful to put on only the tiniest bit.
How cool!
My unicorn for today is Fragonard F de Fragonard edt. This was given to me by my aunt around 1994. It was her bottle and I believe it is from the seventies, because of the olive green and gold box. I have not been able to find mention of this anywhere, ever. It smells like fancy soap, and cologne-y.
Hey, is there a plumber in the house? Can anyone tell me why I get perfectly hot water out of every faucet except for my shower, which has recently decided to stay at luke warm? My water heater is about 8 years old.
Oh, wow. That’s a sweet unicorn, for sure.
I have no plumbing knowledge or advice, but that sucks.
Sucks for sure!, but at least I smell good 😀
Hi lillyjo! How did you like Deseo? I remember writing that it smelled like bright pineapple and pondwater to me and that it seemed to lessen your desire to try it. I’d like to get your take on it, as people perceive smells so differently.
On me I get a light floral with a woody, musky base, I also smell something tart mixed with the floral part. I just put some on so, I could describe it better 😀
It may be that your shower has some kind of inbuilt thermostat that might be playing up…
Thanks BobH. I wish it would stop playing!
Is your shower on the top floor of a multi story building? If so, that could be a sign that your water heater needs maintenance.
I’m in a small ranch house. It’s just strange that I get hot water everywhere else.
I know that we’ve had to drain our water heater and remove sediment from it a few times, and after we did that, we had better delivery of hot water everywhere. But that is weird only your shower has an issue. 😣
Lilyjo, there’s a mixer valve in your shower apparatus. When it goes bad, it can let too much cold mix with the hot. If you take the handle and the cover off and take a photo of the inside, a good hardware store should be able to sell you a replacement part. I fixed mine by myself, but I am handy. If you aren’t, you need a handyperson or a plumber.
How cool that you know that! Thank you, because now I know too.
It’s so great how much we learn here!
Oh thank you for this information! I am not handy myself but my H is might be able to handle doing that.
Hello all!
I’m in Yvresse today. Woke up as a ball of anxiety and have been trying to redirect myself positively since waking up. Yvresse is doing exactly what it needs to do!
Boo to that anxiety! I hope Yvresse keeps working. You smell fantastic!
It did, though it was a rough day regardless! Thank you for the well wishes.
Yvresse to destress! I hope you’re feeling better.
Oh I hate when that happens. That niggling sharp pain of worry. I hope it doesn’t hang around too long.
Hope that anxiety goes away very soon!
Sorry about the anxiety! I’d try a brisk walk and some deep breathing.
Yuck, I hope that your SOTD helped.
In LUSH American Cream which matches my lavender-ish pink sweater today. I think I’m the only one who mentions this one 🤷♀️
Thanks for all the encouragement yesterday! I couldn’t respond at a decent hour, but I really appreciated it 😊
The event was fun, with a few snafus, but it was so crowded and loud that it was hard to notice anyway. I do hope someone noticed the copious amounts of Satori I was wearing! #priorities
Loved your video! It looks a good old fashioned spontaneous jam where everything just clicks, although I know a lot of hard work went into it. Really enjoyed the brass ambling through the crowd, too. ✌🏼
Thanks! It was a blast, although a little too crowded for my comfort.
Actually, I’m not sure that much work went into it, lol. We practiced a little before, but many of the musicians came super late, so didn’t rehearse. We were the only amateurs, so an improv thing is a little muddling, but it worked in the end.
I’m glad you went and it was fun!
Thanks! Me too 😊
Yay! Good to hear it went fine!
Thanks!
If there was a marching band snafu, it was usually due to inconsequential me. Anyway, the reason I know that is because I perfected the art of skipping to align my marching with the rest of the band. 🤣
Ha! I’d love to see the videos of that 😆 Or home movies, likely 😉
Stoked to hear that yesterday was fun for you, since I know that you were a little apprehensive about it.
Thank you! I was nervous, but ok in the end.
I have a decant of American Cream from some years ago, and I do enjoy it too. I should pull it out and wear it one of these days.
It reminds me of enough other things, but I enjoy it, too! And, you have just about everything 😜
What a fabulously blustery day in my neck of the woods! I’m in Quelques Fleurs Jardin Secret. I have no idea if this is a unicorn! If you’re curious, here’s Mark Behnke’s review:
https://colognoisseur.com/new-perfume-review-houbigant-quelques-fleurs-jardin-secret-the-shoulder-season/
That sounds very good!
It does sound good, and the bottle is interesting to look at. i am tired of little blocky perfume bottles with little blocky printing on little blocky paper labels. Shows a certain lack of imagination and courage, it seems to me…
I agree, I am over the minimalist look of perfume bottles. Bring back baroque!
Yep! Say no to boring bottles!
It’s quite pretty!
I liked this perfume when I tested it. I’m not sure I’ll want a bottle of it, but it’s something that I wouldn’t mind wearing.
At this point, I am not looking for a bottle of anything! But I agree, I like it but it’s not a big love. I was gifted a 10ml bottle that’s quite pretty in itself and strangely much bigger than the 10ml decants I have. Maybe thicker glass?
Finally participating in the CP with Anne Pliska, which I originally heard about on this blog, but have rarely seen mentioned otherwise. It is a unicorn I found on my hunt for the perfect vanilla fragrance. I can’t classify it as that, but still a lovely unicorn I don’t want to be without.
If only I could find a sturdy unicorn to ride across the killer intersection at my workplace! 🦄
I’ve got some Anne Pliske but I don’t wear it often. It is pretty though
I still have a little left in my decant, so I should probably wear it before it evaporates or spoils.
I’m sampling Angelys Pear. I like it! The fruity pear opening is just great, still deciding how I feel about the long musky drydown. It’s also stronger and longer lasting than I expected, for better or for worse!
I don’t like pear usually, but might have to try it anyway.
In my beloved Chronic (19-69).
Is that a unicorn here?
Blood orange, praline, tonka and vanilla sure smells like something a unicorn might eat. Ultrared Man by Paco Rabanne.
Sounds yummy!
I agree with Hajusuuri… that sounds delish!
I keep losing track of time today for some reason. Wearing Kyoto today. I want to wear Coco Mademoiselle today but it’s too potent for work. I think that perfume has become the new smoking.
It’s because so many people have stopped smoking, their noses work better – they smell stuff, but they are untrained and so unusual smells means something weird and suspect somewhere, you know what I mean?
It’s more than many that quit smoking. People who claim to have allergies or actually do have them. Those that pretend want it banned for no reason, except they don’t like the smell. Those who have allergies, it’s understandable. Was wearing perfume for over 10 years at work and it was just recently became a problem.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you Dawn. Some places are out and out perfume hostile these days.
It’s pretty hostile with school lunches, if your kid packs a lunch. I don’t have kids but keep seeing articles about kids can’t bring PB&J and so many other things.
I just have fur kids, so that’s one less thing I have to deal with, thankfully.
Hi all, my SOTD is Fig & Poppy by Speziali Fiorentini – spicy/green fig perfume.
I have a unicorn picked out for tomorrow’s CP. It’s been a fun week!
I have missed most of it since I could not wear perfume, and now I’m scrambling to find my most unicorn-ish unicorn
Not really a unicorn, except for on this blog…I mean we are talking mass-produced. Channeling a more mature middle school male in Old Spice Amber body spray. A discontinued scent, which saddens me, because I loved the anti-perspirant. Lots of black currant.
Finalizing the set of photos to take to the hair salon tomorrow. I’m going in…getting bangs. Tired of my big forehead, and, according to a friend, bangs are basically free Botox.
OH, black currant?? I love it in any perfume.
I hear bangs are the new Botox, but with my kinky/curly hair – that’s a no-go…..
Have you watched Russian Doll? It made me RUN to my curly-hair specialist and now I love my curly bangs!!
Loved Russian Doll, and she does have great hair!
I loved the actress in Orange is The New Black. But bangs don’t work well on me I’m afraid. I wind up channeling Donna Summer, the Disco years.
Ha! Well, I guess it depends if you think that’s a plus or minus. I’d give it a 👍🏼😃
I can’t do bangs either, but wish I could. My skin is too oily, still, ugh. Maybe when I’m postmenopausal my skin will give me a break.
That’s a nice one. I have about 3-4 of the stick deodorants stocked somewhere in my rolling black hole. Didn’t know they made a body spray, too…
I wish I’d stockpiled. They had a body wash too, but I never bought it.
The spray can seem a bit harsh at first, but becomes a subtle skin scent.
I’m wearing Rive Gauche Intense, which smells pretty much like the original Rive Gauche to my nose. I bought on Friday because I had a stressful week and wanted a pick-up.
I have a suggestion for a Friday Community Project, inspired by the tapestry used to illustrate this post: wear a scent that features a note commonly found in Medieval perfumes, like rose, thyme, clove, etc. Well, maybe not rose since it’s so easy.
Ooh, I love that idea!
Added to list, thanks Desirae!
Would be great if somebody knew a tapestry that we could pick our note from…a tapestry with lots of natural materials, I mean.
I’ll see what I can find
There’s a cool image here from a Medical manuscript on heath about the use of herbs:
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Culinary-herbs-from-the-Vienna-Tacuinum-Sanitatis-A-sage-Salvia-officinalis-folio_fig4_279439500
This is probably about medicinal or culinary usage, but sage and saffron both were and continue to be used in perfumery.
Akro Dark. No CP points but its chocolatey comfort is making me feel less like drowning myself in one of the ankle deep puddles of frozen-water-and-slush that are blanketing my city today.
We had two glorious balmy days above 0° earlier this week and while I know it’s completely unfair, my heart is always like “no, you said it was spring, you can’t do this!!!!!” when late February and early March bring more snow dumps and -30° days after a temporary thaw.
Spring unfortunately doesn’t come until May. :-(. My sympathies for the slush. I’ll be back on April 10th and I know the weather will still be crap.
Hey, I just an email in my inbox from Perfumarie letting me know that today is National Anosmia Day! (https://nationaldaycalendar.com/anosmia-awareness-day-february-27/)
No doubt those who lobbied for the day’s recognition were more concerned about the medical conditions that can cause anosmia (as much as I think my spotty record on smelling musks IS worth a national celebration!).
Oops..and I marked it last year but was in a rush to make my plane today…
https://nstperfume.com/2019/02/27/wednesday-scent-of-the-day-2-27/
I am wearing the opposite of a Unicorn today!
Eau des Merveilles
I bet at least 10 NSTers have a bottle 😆
Soooooo good!
Working on my decant of Willows by Regime des Fleurs. It’s pretty nice, if fleeting, but no need to get a bottle.
Thanks for the information AnnieA, I was curious about that one. And you smell great.
Have you tried others from this brand? I am curious about both Chloe S’s scent called ‘The little flower’ and Shells.
Have you sampled them?
A kindly nst-er sent the Willow, and Regime des Fleurs has otherwise been elusive. For some reason I find the name Shells very evocative, although I have no idea what I think a perfume called Shells would actually smell like.
Super unicorn day: I’m wearing the 4160 Tuesday’s special limited release 2020 Year of the Sugar Mouse. Will add a bit of Dilettante after my bike ride & shower after hearing the bad news of its demise.
You always find the unusual ones!
You just inspired my choice of unicorn! I have some of 4160 Tuesdays’ very limited supply scents, so I’ll probably choose one of them.
JLo Deseo. Since I have it on good authority that it is indeed a unicorn.
I had Deseo on briefly yesterday, it’s great. I’m looking forward to wearing it in warmer weather.
I think I have a unicorn, or at least a ‘my little pony’ proximity in Blocki’s ‘ In every season’.
I am in the opening now and it has a nice feel, I may be getting some plastic doll but it’ is soft. Maybe also hazel nut or cardamom? I have half of my dabber on. This reminds me of something else in a good way. It would be a good office scent.
My little pony! Lol!
I was a HUGE My Little Pony fan when I was a kid in the 80s.
They still make me smile!
This one didn’t work for me (I remember making a note to myself that I wouldn’t want to wear it in any season. But another one from the brand, “this grand affair,” spoke to me enough to become a travel bottle in my collection. (I’m still a little irked by their naming style – I want my capital letter!
).
I know what you mean, I had the same notion- I think the dabber had all capital letters which was not how I remembered it. It was confusing.
I’m not in a unicorn, but trying out two more Luckyscent samples in my quest for the perfect mimosa fragrance. Mimosa pour Moi and Love Mimosa (Amouage). Both are beautiful! We have a gorgeous sunny day though it’s cool (for here), 60 forecast high. I am about to go off to teach a substitute class on Plato’s Republic… There are parts of that dialogue I really hate, but today it’s reminding me a lot of contemporary politics. I won’t say any more.
Forgive me if I’ve suggested this before, but I think Vilhelm’s Modest Mimosa is just about perfect. Unfortunately it is a gajillionty dollars.
Will you give us your top three when you are done? I know
the Amouage gets frequent praise. Will you eventually buy a FB?
My unicorn today is Caron’s wonderfully weird and cheery Aimez Moi- I love this perfume, so great on a miserable cold day, and one of my best bargains, think it was about £15 on eBay for 100 ml, and the bottle is lovely! I wonder why this one isn’t mentioned more often? I definitely recommend it! (Violet & licorice).
Violet and licorice! And Caron! I’ll certainly give that a try.
I had it and loved it for some time. Then I grew tired of it and passed the bottle to my mum.
Well drat Mayfly, that was on my list of possibles for tomorrow!!
Am I alone on this earth in being head over heels for Dame’s Cactus Orchid soliflore?
*crickets*
So you might be!
My unicorn today is vintage Shiseido EdC. I got abottle of this for a good price and i wore this as a young student, so happy memories!
Is it in a black matte bottle with iridescent type?
Yes, it is,
Oh, nice one!
No unicorn, but for some bizarre reason, last night I thought up a scent for my favorite movie from last year.
Top Notes: Bitter Caraway Seed (to represent the smell of bug spray)
Mid Development Peach, Musk
Base(ment) Notes: The indolic- fecal aspect of jasmine, and a salt-metalic mixture to represent blood
No that would not smell very good, but Parasite is a movie where characters turn up their noses at the way others smell.
Hmm. Maybe I should have gotten to see Little Women. I can just imagine Marmie in a Lilac soliflore, and JO in an avant grade (for the 1800’s Ambergris)
Fantastic note composition for Parasite. Peach would definitely be a major player. It was definitely one of my favorites of 2019 too. Hehe to basement notes.
I think I saw this one mentioned here, but it’s definitely a unicorn: Deneuve.
I think it’s a great perfume, and it’s sad that it’s not in production any longer.
I’ve got some of that!
Definitely a unicorn!
There’s that cute, friendly looking unicorn picture – it makes me smile.
I am wearing Persephenie Kildren today, so nice with its ginger and amber. Those are the notes that stand out the most to me with this one. I’d say it’s a unicorn scent.
Yes, it would be a good thing if Deneuve was still in production.
This is a good time of the year for perfumes with ginger in them.
The Different Company Une Nuit Magnetique, though I was at TJ Maxx at lunch time and saw a spray scent bottle on the mark-down shelf with Unicorn in its name (not even as fancy as Paris Hilton Unicorn).
I love Une Nuit Magnetique. Great choice!
I’m in one of my favorite unicorns, and I’ve also worn it recently. It’s Paul & Joe Blanc, a Jean-Claude Ellena discontinued gem. The perfume it’s most similar to, in my opinion, is L’eau d’Hiver. I just adore Blanc and am so happy to have recently bought another partial bottle of it on eBay.
Oh, I really liked that one.
Bright but blustery weather for me today! Somebody else’s recyclables were blowing down the street earlier… I managed to grab them and put them into the bin. 🌞🌬
SOTD = Incense Pure again. Keeping calm and carrying on! I’ve got a few unicorns in mind for tomorrow. 🦄
It was chilly here too!
I won’t be sorry to see that wind go away! It was rather obnoxious.
You are a better person than I, Jalapeno. I would have let it keep blowing, lol.
Would you believe I did that for selfish reasons? I do NOT want any of that crap in my water, on the beach, or in the ocean.
Wearing Byredo Rodeo and testing Bottega Veneta Parco something or other Magnolia. The Bottega is a nice transparent magnolia skin scent, maybe too ephemeral for some but I’m finding it’s how I like white florals.
Nothing wrong with liking what you like. 😊
SOTD = Mona di Orio Violette Fume
Love
In other
Oh darn! I meant to post the link to my SOTD:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B9EYIUUBikC/?igshid=wsv7ldjtksza
What an awesome presentation! I’m sure you smell wonderful 😀
That is stunning.
I have my eye on that one and what a beauty your Insta pic is.
I love your description.
Robin! Is this something new or am I late to the party?! Haha!
Anyways I saw black tea and that it was merveilles and thought of you and nst! Hehe! 👋
https://www.macys.com/shop/product/hermes-lombre-des-merveilles-eau-de-parfum-3.3-oz.?ID=10577293&CategoryID=30087
It is new! I have been traveling so much I am terribly behind on new perfumes, so thanks, I will announce it tomorrow!
Wearing a unicorn of mine from long ago, Ferentina. It’s somewhat a bwf, but there’s also notes of thyme and juniper. Long discontinued, sadly I learned this fact of ‘perfume life’ with this scent.
It was going for crazy prices on eBay about a year ago but it’s no longer even showing up on there.
I’ve never heard of this one. It sounds very nice though.
My unicorn for Friday is “Aphrodisia” by Brocard, since I don’t see the brand mentioned often. A powdery yellow floral with vanilla, very nice. Sweeter than my usual SOTDs.
Bedtime scent last night was L’Artisan Mimosa Pour Moi. Not a unicorn, but I found it pleasant.
