Monday scent of the day 3/1

Posted by Robin on 1 March 2021 233 Comments

Rabbit rabbit rabbit! Welcome to March. It’s also Monday and Zero Discrimination Day. Birthdays: Frédéric Chopin, Lytton Strachey, Glenn Miller, Ralph Ellison, Robert Lowell, Harry Belafonte, Roger Daltrey. What fragrance are you wearing?

I'm in Diptyque L'Ombre dans L'Eau.

Reminder: on 3/5, for National Absinthe Day, wear a fragrance with an absinthe-related note (wormwood, fennel, anise, etc). If you don't have one, maybe wear something green and herbal?

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2021, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

    March at last! The post office has come out with a stamp for the first of the month (only for overages, not a Forever):
    https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/brush-rabbit-S_740304
    Have a small samples shipment out for delivery, so will be trying something new today.

      Nice stamp. I still have many non-forever stamp stamps and have been slowly using them. This would be good for the 29, 32 and 33 cent stamps.

      Whenever USPS puts out animal stamps, I get them and then never use them because they are so cute and I can’t part with them. At least this one looks like it is the same image for the entire sheet, so I’ll be able to use most of them. The sheets where each one is a different picture – I’m hopeless. Is there a word for stamp collectors who only collect animal stamps? 🙂

          They now seem to have four body oils (on the U.S. site, anyway): Vanille, Orient, Rose and Jasmin. Wondering if anyone has tried them? (They are not inexpensive.)

        Really good!
        Its the Vitamin C serum from La Roche Posay. It was moisturizing and I felt I didn’t need anything else. I have been trying to use it at night but sometimes I use it in the day time and slowly easing into it since I have read your skin can really purge! The days I don’t use it I have been using bioderma hydrating serum and a mix of some Chanel skincare/samples.
        The Vitamin C has a slight fragrance but nothing too over powering.

          Good to know. I’ve been thinking about adding a vitamin c serum to my routine. Skinceuticals is the one I see mentioned all the time. I tend to have sensitive skin so new products make me a bit nervous.

            Later this month I will be one year younger 🙂 So I think its time I add some anti aging steps to my skincare. I have sensitive skin, so some of these French brands like avene LRP and bioderma are easy for me to use and not too expensive.

    I do have an absinthe fragrance to wear for Friday, but today I’m going to wear my vintage Je Reviens (my first real perfume love from back in the day) in honor of spring returning. Yoga first!

    Happy March 1st. It is the first day of meteorological spring. The first official day of spring, the spring equinox, is in only 18 days. I am starting my spring like and green perfumes and home fragrances today. L’Ombre dans l’Eau is a perfect choice.

    Good morning all, my SOTD is Clarins Eau Des Jardins, very similar to Diptyque’s L’Ombre Dans L’Eau but softer with less fruit notes. I also have the Sunshine fragrance from Clarins, it has a wonderful herbal hay note, with yellow flowers mimosa and linden.
    After last night’s Zoom with class members, I was so exhausted, I went to bed at 8pm last night and slept 10 hours. 😯 I could go back to bed and sleep another 10.

    I’ve got a mammogram and an MRI test scheduled for later today – fun times…
    Everyone have a wonderful day today! I’m off for a four-mile walk!

    Good morning! Today’s scent will be Iris Ukiyoe; I had to read it from the sample to spell it correctly. Something floral-y to celebrate the beginning of March and upcoming spring, perhaps?

    Additional birthdays today: Lupita Nyong’o, Tim Daly, Justin Bieber, Paul Hollywood, Catherine Bach, Ron Howard, and Jensen Ackles.

    Have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon and perfume will have to wait until afterwards. I was thinking of no 22 either vintage edt or current edt. When I wore Ubar last night and earlier this morning, I knew that it wouldn’t be a good idea for the doctor’s office.

      No. 22 is amazing. Wish I had a bit. I had a sample a while back and it’s the only sample I have yet to drop and break on the floor. I was so sad that after I cleaned up the glass I tried to rub the scent on my arm from the floor haha.

    My samples are mocking me. Yesterday I was doing the happy dance for getting to the bottom of the Sample Sea… then I found another bunch of samples. ARRRRGH! So, no SOTD, just more samples.

      But I say: revel in your sample troves–they are little drops of gold or at the least, a chance to try someone else’s creative work (even if you hate them). There is no deadline to finish, really, right? I personally LOVE sampling and keep some as a “scent library.”

        How do you organize your scent library? By house? By main notes?

        Right now my small collection is group by house using the tiny jam jars from Bonne Maman’s advent calendar (the best advent calendar!), lined up in a shoe box, but it requires an unsustainable amount of hunting and pecking.

    Scent twins with Robin! Though I’m in l’Ombre Dan’s L’eau edp, not the original edt. This is one that I sometimes find irritating and sometimes find sublime. Today it’s sublime!

    I didn’t get to read the weekend pill until late last night, but I was so pleased to see so many happy vaccine posts. My state and county seem to be woefully behind the rest of the country, but still—hope is in the air.

        I was so naive! I really thought that being a teacher and in 1b, I might be in the pipeline by now or not long from now. I have all but stopped reading the weekly emails that just say “we don’t have enough.” But I’m in my 30’s and healthy, so I won’t whine too much. Maybe PA will get its act together soon?

    Thought about pushing through then said nope, take care of yourself.
    Slept without moving for 12 hours and no chills, so I am sure the worst is over.
    And now I have a day to do whatever. Reorganize my home office, take online training I didn’t do the other day…
    SOTD post shower will be Chergui.

    Speaking of rabbits, there were two big ones frolicking in our backyard last night. They might have been kitten Greta’s first sighting and she was entranced. Hans was sleeping off his wet food and thus oblivious.

    Trying two from Une Nuit Nomade today: Fleur des Fleurs and Murmure des Dieux…both florals w/ vanilla.♥️

    I have the Nuit Nomade discovery set and the line is well done imo…not a poser niche house.

    Forgot the rabbits. Ah well. At least it’s no longer February.

    Still fighting with the Massachusetts vaccine system, pathetically broken. Tempted to drive right to Moderna in Cambridge with a sleeping bag and a box of dry cereal and refuse to leave.

    Spent the weekend trying Chanel samples. Le Lion was a definite no: bandaids and gasoline. I didn’t get the lemon and vanilla Angela mentioned in her review until eight hours in. Box of Eels was a maybe, need to try it again.

    Happy Monday all.

      Ha, knew just from the notes/description that Le Lion would be a no-go (feel like the only one around here uninterested in sampling!) Props to you for putting up with it for 8 hours.
      Hope your luck turns around on the vaccine front.

        Tried Bois des Iles (maybe); Coromandel (hard no); Paris Riviera (maybe); La Pausa (maybe, first impression is pencil shavings); Paris Venise (no); 1957 (may try again); and Paris Biarritz (no). None of the 5 variants work. I like Cristalle and love 19. Maybe I’m not a Chanel gal. Someone is going to get a lot of samples.

    I remembered my rabbits, but was somewhat dismayed to find that the March page of my Nikki McClure calendar appears to be a few crumbs on an empty, chipped plate, with the word “Adapt” alongside. Was hoping for something a little less belt-tightening…

    I’m in Sous le Vent and hiking shoes today, which can only mean one thing: the preserve manager is going out in the field with someone charming and handsome.

        Salted butter is easier for the producers since it keeps fresh longer.

      In New Zealand they apparently sell chocolate butter, which makes me want to move to New Zealand.

    I’m in the dregs of last night’s L’Ambre des Merveilles and thinking I’ll put on some more after my shower. What a beautiful scent it is! My favorite from this family is still the Elixir, though. I did remember to say my rabbits when I woke up briefly at around 5:30 a.m. Then I went back to sleep and woke up later with the word “courgettes” on my lips. I guess I was cooking something in my sleep! I was wondering what they are. I always get them mixed up with “aubergines” haha! Well I know what they are but those words seem strange to me. I’ve been watching that French cop show Spiral and have the sound and rhythm of French speech in my head now. It’s kind of pleasant really.

    Lost Cherry today. Had a relaxing weekend when I should have had a productive one. I CAN transfer within my company when I move but I’m feeling like a new start is in order. Maybe I’ll look at jobs today instead.

    I watched the Golden Globes last night…I know that awards shows are largely a sham dictated by which producers can kiss the most butts, but I like the glam and the nostalgic montages and rooting for my favorites anyway. Doing these things over Zoom is such an awkward affair. The first winner (Daniel Kaluuya for Judas and the Black Messiah, deserved!) almost didn’t get to speak at all because of technical difficulties. Jodie Foster made an acceptance speech in her pajamas with her dog on her lap. They had the nerve to try “playing people off” who aren’t on a stage to begin with – and were kind enough to bother showing up at all after yet another round of controversy about bribes and racism. Hope the Oscars can learn from it.

      I did not watch all the way through, and probably missed some key moments.
      The opening was pretty funny, but also surprising. Fey and Poehler really went after the sponsoring organization, not gentle ribbing. They really went after the whole notion of awards for such a weird year and the racism of the Press Association giving out the awards

    Wearing Hiram Green Arbole Arbole Arbole on a very cloudy and cool day.

    Very busy working day. I need my third cup of coffee asap so I am able to endure the rest of the day.

    I finally finished going thru all my samples and decants this past weekend and I kept only very few that I really like/love and enjoy. The rest went to the good bye pile. I feel so relieved and refreshed that I do not have that infinite ocean of samples looking at me anymore. I am ready now to start exploring new to me samples again!
    Next to be purged are full bottles.

    Back to my desk for my next Zoom meeting.

        Yes, he’s considered a Revolutionary War hero, especially for Polish-Americans, and since Chicago has a large Polish population, he gets a day! There isn’t a parade or anything, but there’s usually a ceremony at the Polish Museum. Not this year though, because of Covid.

        I might have some pierogis in my freezer; if I do, I’ll make those for dinner in his honor :).

        I like some sillage– Not Georgio Beverly Hills sillage, but at least Timbuktu-level sillage. Of the two I’m wearing today, Tabac Rose has the greater sillage. I’m guessing that if I applied it via spray instead of dauber, it would have plenty of sillange–it seems to have strengthened in intensity over the course of the day!

        I think Wild Cherry sounds much better!

    March is in like a lion with snow flurries after the temp was 60F yesterday. Wah. Wearing Chergui, I think it’s good for changing weather.

    I’m still doing the old movie watching and have a crush on Douglas Fairbanks Jr circa 1932, dear me. I may have a crush on Barbara Stanwyck, too, she was so good in everything!

      Love Barbara Stanwyck! And Bette Davis too. Also Irene Dunne, I adore her little laugh.

        I don’t think there’s another actress as good as Bette Davis, possibly ever. And Irene Dunne was pretty adorable 🙂

        Love Irene Dunne. Apparently she didn’t like her role in Life With Father. I thought she was hilarious. The “pug dog” scene is one of my absolute favorites.

    Reading NST and eating lunch on my sunny porch today! It’s like 55 degrees F, no wind and the sun is shining!

    My porch smells like toasted cumin today. Must be something delicious happening at the restaurant next door.

    I am wearing non-spring-appropriate SMN Ambra, which is lovely, even if a bit weird with the sunshine and cumin!

    Okay, peeps, just checking in for a moment to say I’m wearing several spritzes of Anarchy, which is a long lost dupe for Black Cashmere, also long lost. Gosh, I wish I would have purchased several bottles of either the original or the dupe, because I smell marvelous!

      When I was a newbie perfumista, one could still buy Black Cashmere at the discounters. I didn’t understand then, what I do now about how such things become precious and rare so quickly! I haven’t heard of Anarchy, but it sounds like I’d like it. 😉

    Remembered my rabbits today. Said them last night bc I was up after midnight, and then again when I woke up this morning. Hopefully they don’t cancel each other out!

    SOTD is Little Flower. It was on my to-try list for a while. After Robin posted the NY Mag article last week about sample sets and saw that the one from Regime des Fleurs included Little Flower I bought it. That post should have been labelled as a lemming. It is quite pretty – at first it reminded me a rose-heavy L’Ombre dans L’Eau, but the tea note becomes more prominent in the dry down. It is a dry (as in not, sweet) rose but not a powdery one. There is a bit of citrus warmth, but no sharpness. I really like this. Will have to test it again Chloe Roses to make sure it isn’t too similar, but I’m thinking this is FB worthy.

    It is snowing here. Not flurries, real, persistent, lake-effect snow. But I suspect it won’t amount to much.

    Commando as yet — had a checkup this morning with my GP and the day has been so crazy that I haven’t had time to spritz anything. I will remedy that now, as I grab a snack and change into comfy clothes for our monthly Zoom faculty meeting. I am expecting it to be a doozy.

    Hey, y’all! I actually remembered my rabbits this morning for like the second time ever! Sooo happy it’s March. Had a pretty nice weekend and wore warm scents since it was pretty warm here. Chameleon on Saturday and Osmanthus Interdite yesterday.

    It’s back to being chilly today and I am in Nishane Patchuli Kozha which I am LOVING these days. I will be sad when my sample is dry.

    Really curious what ya all will wear for absinthe day. Love anise type of notes. I heard real absinthe tastes like black licorice which sounds amazing to me. Like an herbal black licorice? And it is fun the way it is served with the flamed sugar cube. Sounds like a fun experience.

    Also fennel sounds perfect right now..going with Bois Farine, from a decant. And it’s low. Sigh.

      I had a drink called Raki made of grapes and anise. Let’s just say I felt it go down like fire ? down my throat and my poor stomach. I wouldn’t be surprised if it caused microtears on its way down.

      It’s actually rather dangerous to serve absinthe with the burnt sugar cube. There’s enough alcohol in it that flash fires can occur. Bad idea.

    March is lion-ish here; it’s cool and gusty today. I forgot my rabbits this morning, just as I always do, but am cheered by today’s photo — those bunnies remind me of the ones that crashed my niece’s outdoor wedding reception a few years ago. Cute as could be, and a nice memory.

    I’m wearing the last of a sample of Secrets du Paradis Rouge, which I think is lovely, even if it isn’t entirely “me.”

    Off now to try to catch up on several days’ worth of NST posts.

    Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! Dentist appointment earlier today, and a mammogram done on Saturday. ‘Tis the season.

    SOTD = Oriza L. Legrand Reve d’Ossian EdP, from the sample stash. Incense is perfect for a cloudy, rainy day. And sunny days. And snowy days. And windy days. And so on…

    No rabbits for me. Thunked my travel spray of Jasmins Marzipane, but I thankfully have a bigger back up bottle awaiting.

    Undoubtedly TMI, but a challenging morning here. Colonoscopy scheduled, with miscommunication on time. Which meant I had to set my alarm for 3:45 am to drink more of my prep solution in advance of 10 am procedure. Just as I was heading out the door, I get a call that my procedure was at noon. Sigh. I could have slept a bit longer and even had a couple of sips of coffee and water. The good news is I felt like I got some good sleep when they knocked me out. Good enough to be able to walk home afterwards.

    Even better….my husband finally called his diabetes nurse practitioner who got us referrals for vaccines (we qualify) – appointments scheduled for tomorrow! Which means we will be able to get that done before our move. So grateful. I especially wanted him to get the vaccine.
