Monday scent of the day 3/2

Posted by Robin on 2 March 2020 240 Comments

Happy Dr Seuss Day (aka National Read Across America Day, and today is also the start of Return Borrowed Books Week). You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way! What fragrance are you wearing?

I'm in Astier de Villatte Commune de Paris 1871, which Kevin called "a lovely scented mix of country-walk...and cozy parlor".

Reminder: 3/6 is the The Day of the Dude. Take it easy, man.

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.

    I think the best way to celebrate the week of the Dude is to stick to your perfume routine and wear scents that make you feel good. Go with the flow. :)

    SOTD is First, strongly associated with spring. Relaxing and uplifting.

      Glannys, I got to try Lush Jungle spray on skin and it does smell like the conditioner (I bought the new formula conditioner). I might’ve mixed up Jungle and the forest one- forget what that one was called, which smelled mossy. Anyway, happy to know it exists since I think it’s a great smell!

        Yay! You probably confused it with Tramp (patchouli and oakmoss).

    Good morning Y’all!

    I went to bed last night wearing La Maison de Vanille’s Vanille Noire du Mexique, and it was still wafting a little bit this morning. (Super duper THANK YOU to Holly for sharing this and a whole goody box of beauties with me! NST friends are the most generous ever!)

    I added a couple of sprays of Guerlain Eau de Cashmere to keep the soft cozy vibe happening today. We’re expecting MORE rain, so cozy and warm is needed!

          Thank you for the video. I’ve read Dr. Peter Hotez’ book Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism. I believe Dr. Hotez has developed vaccines for some tropical diseases, and/or diseases that poor people are more likely to be exposed to than the wealthy. At the end of the book I read, he explains his own twist on the concept of tikkun olam. I’m trying to remember, but I think healing the world, for the doctor, also included medically healing people. I’ll look that up sometime.

      Yeah, most of our team meeting this am was spent talking about the Corona virus and what we’re doing.
      Apparently boxes and boxes of masks are missing from our facility- either staff or patient visitors or both are grabbing them (the little paper masks which are not effective anyway, apparently).

        I saw a co-worker stashing a couple dozen surgical masks in her bag and had a good laugh. ??

        Even the N95 is not effective for well people. It is effective when used on a SICK PERSON to reduce droplet spread.

        A dude I know just posted a photo of the empty shelves at a local hardware store, which apparently sells N95 masks for construction/high dust jobs.

        On a more enlightened note, Walgreens was fresh out of hand sanitizer. ??

      I only watched The Big Lebowsky once and it somehow did not quite work for me. The one scene that had me in stitches is where they want to distribute the ashes. Great acting though!

      No Country for Old Men on the other hand is one of my top favourite movies.

        But I think No country for old men is their masterpiece, its still Coenesque but more restraint than in most of their other stuff. And the cinematography is to die for.

            Frances McDormand is amaaazing, I love her character.

            And about the Blood Meridian movie, some attempts have been made…but they all failed to get past pre production phase, if I remember correctly.

            And if the succeed…
            I dont know if I want or need to see that movie (the book was perfect!), but I probably will, because I am a very curious person. Haha.

        Have you read the book? And another by the same author is “The Road,” which is bleak, disturbing, relevant, and inspiring, all at the same time. ?? Cormac McCarthy!

        And even more disturbing is that spell check changed “Cormac” to “Coronavirus” ?

          The only Cormac McCarthy ive read is Blood Meridian…well that was difficult. He writes beautifully.

          But it was like watching Requiem for a dream…. One of the greatest rides ever but erhm never again(?), Well, at least not anytime soon. Its a book that gets under your skin.

            It is a very disturbing film, I’ve rewatched it a number of times, but I always have to brace myself in a way. So I perfectly understand your reluctance. The visuals are stunning though and all the actors do such a great job.

          Yes, I prefer ‘thought provoking’ and ‘difficult’ to mundaine themes. I love it when a book or movie still keeps you company after you finished it.

            I can totally understand that. But, while the story is incredibly gut wrenching, I was surprised by the negative comments I heard on my way out of the movie.

            For me personally, the absolute message of the movie is the unswerving power of love. Yes, I get the brutal parts, and was not surprised by those things, because when the thin veneer of civilization is gone, the violent human animal emerges. I’ve seen it and it’s no surprise. But the absolute beauty of his love and sacrifice for his son made me cry like a baby. To me, that’s what being human is all about. Humans are selfish, and when I witness real unselfish agape love- boy oh boy do I lose it. It’s so rare, but dazzling to witness. ?

    I have a big birthday coming up this month. I already received probably the best perfume gift ever, my friend gave me an early present. She was at an antique shop and found an empty Shalimar baccarat bottle.

        Well, we are March birthday twins

        What day does yours fall on, if you want to share. I will wear Omnia to honor you since I always think of you when I wear that fragrance.

          Mine is the 4th, and a very thoughtful gesture wearing Omnia. I’d love to reciprocate if you’d like to divulge your day? I could wear Shalimar in your honor…?

    Hi, dear friends, I smell tasty in Fils de Dieu today. Incidentally, I recently read The Cat in the Hat to an extremely cute and precocious two-year-old. He had a lot of questions about Things 1 & 2 that I had a hard time answering.

    I haven’t had much time for NST lately. I’ve been spending all my non-work time trying to figure out what kind of job I want and which company I will do it at. I think I have a better idea by now, so I’ve sent in another dozen or so job applications. I got two swift rejections (fair), one preliminary meeting (tonight, hooray!), and a bunch of silence.

    I also went on a little trip to Chicago for half a week! It was a Valentine’s present from my fiance, and we attended a taping of Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me, the NPR news quiz show that I’ve been listening to for 15 years. I got to meet the hosts and panelists and just generally had the time of my life. Apropos to NST, our hotel was just down the street from Merz, a lovely little perfume shop. There was very little there that I had been dying to sniff, but it was nice to be in a perfume shop again for the first time in ages. Chicago was extremely cold–when I left the Bay Area, it was 77 degrees around here, and when I landed in Chicago, it was 27 degrees–but it was dry and sunny, and I had just the most enormous coat, so I was still able to enjoy myself thoroughly.

            I used to listen on the radio as well. I grew up listening and watching Bill Kurtis because he was a news anchor out of Chicago when I lived in the burbs. I love the show for the simple reason that I’m dumbfounded by what people don’t know, and flabbergasted by what they do know. ?

          Oh how amazing, I can see why you were so excited!! And what a touching song, I had to google it … for anyone else who is interested, found this on another performance:

          “The Modimo Trilogy is a combination of three hymns opening with “Modimo,” a Sotho song of awe at creation, and continues with “Izwi Lahlab’Inhliziyo Yami,” a confession of sin and proclamation of grace sung in Zulu. The piece concludes with “Ke Na Le Modisa,” an interpretation of Psalm 23 sung in Sotho.”

          Thank you so much for sharing.

            Ah yes, thanks for sharing that :) It’s really important to the group that people understand what our songs are about, and sharing the explanation is essential to the spirit of the music.

            And thank you; I am so glad you enjoyed it! Singing with that group is really special. Izwi has actually always been my favorite of the trilogy; I just love the power of those big, big notes. What’s funny is that I’ve soloed every part of the trilogy except Izwi. Someday.

    I’m back in Gucci Memoire D’Une Odeur–and today I am actually enjoying it. Finally, after many road tests of this one, I am smelling it in all of its lady-like beauty. Reminds me a bit (now that I can smell it) of perfumes in the Chanel-Paris line. Needless to say, no relation to Day of the Dude!

    SOTD = Chanel No. 19 EDP

    …to the rescue!

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Oo4i3hQEn/?igshid=4q8n9zm9pxh4

    Seriously peeps, I must have received over 100 emails over the weekend and they haven’t stopped. One can only do one thing at a time so I am chillin’ a little before plunging back into work mode.

    So, to answer some of the comments yesterday regarding Aedes de Venustas dicontinuing the perfume line, I may have misinterpreted but I am almost positive that Iris Nazarena as we know it will no longer be available.

    Someone commented on cars parking nose out in spaces meant to be nose in. The lanes are marked for a reason — to fit as many cars as possible and are designed to make backing out safer. Personally, I do the pull through if I can (I have a Subaru Forrester so it’s mid-sized) and if not, as long as there is no car behind me when I start the backing in maneuver, I would back in to a space. If the space is mean for nose in parking, I park nose in. I do have a rear view camera with guide lines and that really helps!

    And, since I answered the question in Undina’s inaugural ULG Saturday Question, I have between 500-600 bottles and manufacturer’s travel spray. I am confident about 90% of my collection (i.e. I know WHAT perfumes I have) but where they are is another matter. I have a good portion in my bedroom / walk-in closet and then some are stashed away in the living room cabinets and then finally the basement. ????‍♀️

Should I smell like a mink coat? A root beer float? A spicy basenote? Or just grab a sample..that doesn’t smell like apple? Or pear, pear I cannot wear. And this I know, I will not smell like Gwyneth Paltrow. Oh no. I think today it will be, a cloud, a lovely cloud of Jersey:).

    I decided to pull out my little bottle of Heaven, because, well, can’t get more chill than that. I need to spray more heavily, which I will do in a bit.

    Before that I smelled of thumbprint cookie dough and jam. Next time I make them I need to play with oven temp. But..it gave me an excuse to use the little jar of strawberry lemon lavender preserves I bought at Christmas. So, so good.

    Going with easy to wear office friendly perfumes this week. First up is 28 La Pausa EDT. I thunked the decant this morning but I have another one waiting in the wings.

    Good news that I didn’t get around to posting this weekend is that on Friday my mom retired from her job of almost 43 years! She started working there when she was just 19. I’m excited for her to have all her time to herself.

    WoW, lots to read today already.
    I am wearing Monsillage Eau Fraiche. I adore the feathered bottle cap and birds across the back of the bottle. This is stronger and more in-depth than Acqua di Colonia’s classic cologne it has a fabulous lemon opening and then lingers well with an aromatic crisp and classy vibe. I feel dressed up Martha Stewart casual and need a convertible & Audrey Hepburn along for a fun adventure.
    I really like this and hope it holds up in the heat. It feels like it will.
    Happy Monday to you.

    I must’ve shut off my alarm unconsciously this morning or set it for PM instead of AM, but I was up and out of the house in a record 15 minutes ? Made it in time to my monthly team meeting in the Bronx, phew! In need of a nap right now.
    All this to say that I had to dig into my emergency sample stash in my purse so I’m wearing Jour d’Hermes Absolu, which is always fine by me and works with the spring-like weather today.

    I’m wearing my always feel right perfumes this week. First up Alien leather version. I was really pleased this morning because my make up looked really nice. 2 hours into work I checked the mirror and I have no eyeliner under my right eye. Did I forget to apply it, or did it only wear off on one side? Idk, but I can’t get the left eye to be free of eyeliner, lol, I’m feeling very lopsided.

    Wearing AG Folavril because it is still relatively warm here and it feels like spring and I want it to stay that way, but I know that March can often bring some big snow storms where I live, so I’m kind of pretending, for the moment, that spring is here!

    Unintentionally participating in the cp by wearing an unmarked sample – why not relax and enjoy the ride? It’s supposedly Le Cri de blah blah but what I’m smelling doesn’t resemble anything close to what others have mentioned.

    Commando for part of the day due to a doctor appointment. That was harshing my vibe. So as soon as I could, I put some perfume on.

    SOTD = Rihanna Rogue. This is definitely a cooler weather scent for me, and it’s almost 60 here today. So my little bottle will go into “Winter Scent Storage” very soon.

    Thinking about the CP this week, a coffee scent ☕ may be in order but I don’t think I have any. I also noticed that Demeter has a White Russian fragrance in it’s line-up.
