Thursday scent of the day 3/4

Posted by Robin on 4 March 2021 225 Comments

Happy Almost-Friday and happy National Grammar Day! What fragrance are you wearing?

I'm in L'Artisan Timbuktu, just because it happened to be next to yesterday's  L’Artisan Parfumeur Jacinthe des Bois.

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.

    My 3rd L’Artisan in a row for the project, and I’m going all in with Fou d’Absinthe!

          I love both, but the EDT is wonderful anytime whereas I have to be in just the right mood for the EDP. So I guess the EDT has a bit of an edge, favorite-wise? :)

    Absinthe from CJ Scents: lavender, absinthe, amber. Simple but a really nice blend.

    Yesterday was such a glorious blue sky early spring day in Seattle that I stopped work early and walked to a microbrewery to meet a friend for a beer outside. I’ll have to play catch-up today, but it was totally worth it.

    S0TD:
    Kai perfume oil. I’m still craving tuberoses, although this seems far more gardenia to me.
    Last night, I was finally able to sign up my elderly, vulnerable parents for vaccine appointments, after months of checking availability and feeling like a failed daughter.

      I love gardenia in a perfume, have you tried Terra Nova’s Gardenia? It’s a beautiful dewey, stemmy gardenia, with lots of tender greens. A cheap thrill for sure.

      And I really like Kai oil, especially in the summer- it rises beautifully.

      What Ede97005 said. A failed daughter would not have tried and would not have cared. It’s been quite a challenge for many to get an appointment, so good job! As my dad used to say, “ya done good, kiddo.”

      That one is on my to sample list. I’m going to order the sample anyway, but I was curious: does this skew masculine to you? A lot of the PdE line I’ve tried has been solid for me, but always a bit “hefty”. Not sure I explain that well!

      • cazaubon says:
        4 March 2021 at 8:34 pm

        Hmm, not sure if I would describe it as masculine. It definitely smells like immortelle, which I perceive as unisex, but YMMV. It definitely has sillage and longevity. Immortelle is a very potent note.

    I was thinking of anise today so I wore the breezy Aqua Allegoria Anisia Bella, completely unsuited to the weather but who cares? Surprising staying power for an AA — four hours later and it’s still going strong. I can’t tell if it’s still in production, but it ought to be: it’s one of the best of the line, I think.

    Good morning all, my SOTD is Cucumber Baie by Fresh. Refreshing citrus, lily of the valley, cucumber, greens, amber, and musk dry down. I’m so glad I have a bottle of this.

    I joined Noom yesterday to track my weight loss progress in the hopes I’ll be accountable and lose 20 lbs. It’s a little annoying to be on my phone logging in everything, I use my phone for the basics. We’ll see… I ate under my caloric goal, walked five miles, and drank 10 glasses of water.
    My class ran late last night, I am so sleepy, but our Employment Law presentation went well. I must throw on the sneakers and head out the door!

        Oh yes, I drink loads, in addition to coffee and tea. For meds, I take 40 pills a day, I must drink loads of water to protect my kidneys.
        The good news is it fills my stomach and my skin is pretty clear. :)

      Nice! I started Noom on the advice of a friend who has lost 25 lbs and she is having great success with the program.
      Unfortunately, Cucumber Baie isn’t easy to find, it was discontinued years ago. It truly is a beautiful cucumber scent, slightly floral, refreshing and green.
      An Ebay search brought up two bottles.
      I purchased mine from Fresh directly. I purchased my last bottle at the Las Vegas boutique, perhaps try calling there directly?

          Another scent that’s close to Cucumber Baie is the original W by Banana Republic, while it doesn’t have a distinctive cucumber note, it is very green and refreshing, and probably 90% similar t the Fresh scent..

    Thanks everyone, for your good vibes to my doggie Yei. He is going thru pancreatitis and colitis at the same time. A very painful process that will take at least 3 to 4 weeks to get resolved with treatment and his usual bland, low fat diet. Crossing fingers he starts showing some improvement soon.

    Wearing Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay. Easy to wear, which is exactly what I need now.

    It is a cool, grey, windy day. Looking forward to next week when temps will reach the 60’s. Yay!
    Planning to run a couple of errands at lunch time and grab an iced coffee on the way.

    Happy almost Friday, everyone!🌻

      Thanks for the update on Yei, I was wondering how he was doing.
      Yes, bland and low fat is the ticket for a pancreatitis attack. Poor pup, I hope he heals and is back to normal soon! *squishes* to you both.

            My favorite method is from Epicurious or America’s Test Kitchen (yes, I’m a geek about this), take care not to use water that is too hot, it scorches the grounds.

            America’s Test Kitchen *tip* a pinch of kosher salt reduces any bitterness and emphasizes the nutty coffee flavor.

            Huh, so apparently I bought into the cold brew marketing and have been making iced coffee wrong. :eek: I’ll have to do a side by side comparison with the moka pot approach a try.

          Home made iced coffee is relatively easy to make, and inexpensive in comparison to purchasing the store-bought.

    SOTD yesterday: Santal Majuscule. Commando so far today.
    Thank you to OldHerbaceous for the Live in Love link to her blog.
    I’ve checked in sporadically over the past two weeks, but have been too busy to comment.
    The only news here is that my husband and I finally made the effort to get vaccinated. We got the Janssen/J&J one. He was feverish and had a really sore arm for a day and I had… nada. Nothing. Never felt better. I am actually slightly concerned that mine was from a dud batch or something. Will check my antibodies in 3 weeks and HOPEFULLY I’ll have some!

      I had to laugh because I would be thinking the same thing! Of course if I had a bad side effect, I would be more nervous. Fingers crossed for antibodies! And good to see you 😀

        Waving a very enthusiastic “Hello”!!
        So glad you had a nice outing with your aunt. After we got our shots, the hubby and I went out to lunch. Our restaurant was also COMPLETELY empty. So sad. I hope the hospitality industry can recover. And I hope you can sort out your daughter’s therapy with your insurance. My youngest has made huge strides over the past two years. The reasons as far as I’m concerned: A new school where they just treat him like any other (very asocial) kid, he has started exercising and he eats three eggs for breakfast every morning. Hope spring comes early to your neck of the woods.

          Thank you! I decided to put her back in school 2 days a week since therapy is being cut. The older she gets, the less interested people are in trying to help her. It’s very disheartening, and makes me angry.

            So sorry, lillyjo, it is heartbreaking to hear stories like yours. Especially, as a former teacher, your story makes me cringe. I worry so much about my kids. They are all very special, unique and deserve to be treated and taught as individuals.

            I am so sorry for you and your daughter. It makes me mad too! Between my two kids and me, I figure I’ve put five people through Harvard Medical School on therapy payments alone. But some kids really need the help. Terrible to take it away.

    Wearing Chypre Mousse for the fennel note. It took me a while from finding this a strange scent to owning a bottle, although I did a bottle split. I could never use all up in a lifetime.
    Boiled cauliflower with tsatsiki for dinner and I have an online seminar later in the evening.

    Trying Falling Leaves from the Regimes des Fleurs sample set. It’s wonderful! Juicy, resinous juniper dominates for me, with fresh and dry wood underneath, and a hint of dry leaves and oakmoss. Smells like being deep in a mountain forest early on dry, crisp fall morning. I also get a tiny bit of smoke, but I think that is just my brain associating all of these scents with how a campsite smells in the morning, because camping is the only time I’m in the forest early in the morning.

    I want to spray this on a wool blanket and go sit outside all wrapped up with a thermos of tea. But for today, I’ll just have to look out the window behind my computer monitor and sniff my wrist while tackling a mountain of COVID-related work issues. At least I have the thermos of tea tho – today I’m back to Kusmi’s Anastasia.

    PdE Ambre Russe – doesn’t fit the CP, doesn’t fit the spring day we’re having, but I wanted to try this out again before all winter scents get put away in a box – our season for cozy scents is really short!
    I’ve been planning forever to buy a sample of Immortelle Corse, and I think today I’ll finally hit buy. I always try to optimize the purchase by finding enough samples to justify shipping etc…and always draw a blank.

    Good Morning!

    1) Light filled morning in Portland. We should be getting rain later on, so am going on a quick 1 hour walk!

    2) SOTD: Wonderland Peony from Floral Street(from a sample). A lovely, non powdery sheer floral with a hint of fruitiness BUT no sugary tones. Really pretty, and this would be a great office scent as well as a lovely and uplifting scent for WFH.

    Floral Street caught my attention from Instagram- I bought their sample set. So far, I think they are VERY nice indeed; I think the scents marketing is for a younger audience BUT I like what I am trying so far! I think they are at Sephora now as well, but only the travel and full size bottles, not the sample set.

It was very faint when I did 5 or 6 spritzes; I have not noticed it all day; then a co-worker told me I smelled good. Huh. Before I forget: thank you to whomever (uh-oh grammar day..I think that’s right) recommended “Love and Hisses” cat rescue website with the adorable kitten birth countdown last week. That was a nice little escape: better than some made up TV show any day in my book. Spoiler: six healthy kittens arrived!

    Perfume today will be Annick Goutal’s Ninfeo Mio, I haven’t worn it for a long while.

    Hi, All!
    I finally tried Frederic Malle collection and I lived Perfum de Therese very much!

    It is my favorite of the bunch and I bought 10 ml

    It is very feminine and a bit old fashioned. It reminded me of Fleurissimo by Creed and Aqua di Gio

    I was afraid I would be dissapointed after a couple of wearings because feminine fragrances bore me after few wears but I am still loving it. Finally a friend for my Vol de Nuit on the shelf =) It is a pity the bottle is not that nice though =) I am a sucker for beautiful old fashioned bottles =D

I don’t know that we’ll do an official freebie this spring — I do think people have been giving lots of stuff away in the regular sotd polls, and I think that might be best for now.

    I’m quite busy at work today, but it’s mostly good. I just feel a bit frazzled, because it’s several different projects/tasks being juggled. I’m looking forward to the weekend to play with some new scents! I made a very naughty purchase at Neiman’s because they had that offer AND it’s my birthday month. I also wanted to support my local SA and while she wasn’t there, her coworker gave me plenty of samples with my purchase.

    I’m twins with BobH in Fou d’Absinthe. I don’t wear it very often because it’s kind of weird. As in sour. This reminds me of the beautiful scene in Coppola’s Dracula where the dapper vampire takes Mina to an absinthe parlor. She looks down into that glass of green liqueur and starts to feel dizzy and have visions…. It’s scary but also very sexy. Gary Oldman was so good in that role.

    I got incredibly lucky on the Walgreen’s COVID-19 site yesterday and get my first vaccination tomorrow, the next in four weeks. I only have to drive 88 miles each way which I am happy to do. I’m wearing Rhubarb Ecarlate.

    Commando – got my first shot today. Pfizer. I was nauseous after, probably because I skipped breakfast. Chicken soup and a short nap fixed it.

    Thought about trying Chanel 1957 again and re-read the notes on Fragrantica. SO MUCH MUSK. Hard no, another for the discard pile.

    Happy Grammar Day, fellow nerds.

    I’m wearing Gallivant’s Brooklyn today. It’s just a sunny happy scent to me and that’s what I wanted.

    Wearing Pandora today. This is the last tiny bit of a sample; a little goes a long way with this scent. It’s just glorious! Thanks again, h!

    Getting my anise in with Lolita Lempicka. Glad to hear about so many people getting their COVID-19 vaccines. I got mine early on, being in healthcare. Enough of my family have either had COVID or been vaccinated that we are finally going to be able to get together Easter weekend for my mother’s 80th birthday (only about 49 weeks late, but she’ll still be 80!). Luckily, she and my dad were vaccinated rather than ill.

    I heard that there has been a very large earthquake off the coast of New Zealand (magnitude 8.1). I hope that everyone has evacuated the coasts and that the NZ contingent of NSTers are safe and sound.

    Laundry and other mundane tasks this afternoon.

    SOTD = SSS Incense Pure, inspired by Hajusuuri wearing it yesterday. I can only do 2 or 3 sprays of this one, max!

    SOTD = BDK Parfums Tabac Rose

    Nice, smells familiar and still FB-worthy for me! There are so many notes which I will summarize 😆 as spicy, sweet, fruity rose, chocolate, vanilla, tobacco patchouli incense. Longevity is quite good, clocking in at 12 hours. YMMV.

    I occasionally order from Amazon because, let’s face it, it has just about everything under the sun. I recently bought Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ One Hundred Years of Solitude in both Spanish and English. The Spanish book was fine but the English translation was bound incorrectly, with 15 leaves from the back of the book bound upside down at page 85. What the —? As if I had time to resolve this issue! To my surprise, it was actually quite easy, especially with Whole Foods being a drop off center. I don’t even have to package it … I just had to bring it to a Whole Foods, give them a code and they take care of it! I decided to also address something that occurred in November 2020 where I couldn’t figure out how to request a credit for an undeliverable item. I used the Call Me feature which was easy peasy.

    While I like to support local merchants, sometimes online “big box” is the way to go.

      This is good to know. There is a Whole Foods being built here right now. I’m excited to check it out once it’s done.

      I like Tabac Rose a lot too when I sampled it. I think it reminded me of VCA Rose Rouge, by the same perfumer. Although I think Tabac Rose is deeper.

        I found Tabac Rose a lot less sweet than Rose Rouge. Rose Rouge reminds me of Lancome Parfait de Rose.

          Late reply, but good idea.

          I think at some point, that was one of the books I had with English on one side and Spanish on the other, that was very helpful. Don’t know if they still make those editions.

    I wore 10 Corso Como today, because it has been mentioned here lately. I started getting a tickle in my throat, so I am going to bed early. I’m hoping I can sleep through the night.

        Thanks jalapeno. I blame my sick co-worker from the other day. I told my boss too, that I didn’t think he should have let the guy work at all! I can’t afford to be unwell.

          Argh! I had some inconsiderate co-workers like that in the past. I always wanted to kick them in the shins when they came to work sick.
