Wednesday scent of the day 9/1

Posted by Robin on 1 September 2021 174 Comments

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, and welcome to September! What fragrance are you wearing?

I'm in Blackbird Y06-S, because perfumelover67 reminded me of it on Monday. (And we're expecting the remnants of Ida to pass by today. If I disappear, we lost power, or my basement is flooded, or both.)

Reminder: 9/3 will be Labor Day Weekend...take a break from community projects and wear what you want.

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.

Note: the Converse x Bugs Bunny Chuck Taylor All Star Hi came out last October and is getting harder to find. Kicks Crew still has them in stock, $110.

    Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! ?

    You smell great, Robin!

    Rainy, stormy day thanks to Ida, which is making me very lazy and sleepy. Drinking my second cup of coffee and wearing Hermes Eau De Neroli Dore.

    Happy Wednesday! ?

        Crossing fingers. I have never seen so much rain fall with such a severe intensity before, not even with Sandy. It is really bad right now. Supposed to stop early tomorrow morning. I hope the situation is not so bad for your area.

    Rabbits!!

    This morning I let my youngest (who is 5) pick my perfume and he chose Love Don’t be Shy Extreme after smelling a few others. So that is my SOTD.
    Both kids tried to make me coffee this morning (cappuccino) My oldest basically dumped a whole bunch of my cinnamon/sugar on top of one..

    I am wearing makeup today since I need a pick me up for this week. EL Double Wear foundation, bronze goddess blush, Chanel eyeliner and a cheap mascara Lauren Conrad.

        Hopefully next week. We have to jump through so many hoops with testing etc etc, even for kids this young. Its a hassle but I would literally do anything to keep them in school. I also, honestly, need a break. I love my family don’t get me wrong, but I need some alone time.

    I forgot my rabbits until I was up and opened up my iPad with the date on the screen. ?
    I’m in 10 Corso Como. Mother Nature must have known September 1 was coming, because our wind shifted last evening and we were able to open our windows. Finally! During dinner, we could hear the university marching band practicing, a sure sign of fall.
    I talked to my son yesterday and he will be flying home for a few days at the end of the month.? I can hardly wait. September 15 will be one full year since I’ve seen him in the flesh. The longest we’ve ever gone.
    Robin, I sure hope your basement doesn’t flood!!

    Rabbitude!

    We’re getting the ragged leavings of Ida tomorrow: this is often the case with hurricanes, since I live on the east coast of Canada and many of them make their way to us with their dying breaths. Not expecting any real wind, but a *lot* of rain, from Thursday afternoon into Saturday.

    Today I’m wearing Serge Lutens Fourreau Noir, which for no knowable reason became my mainstay this summer: I wore it more than any other, when it wasn’t *too* hot. It’s so fantastically good.

      It feels like it was *too* hot here all summer, but I’m sure that’s not true.

      Glad you will not get wind…we have tornado warnings already.

      I absolutely loathe waking up to an alarm. Something about it just sets me off, and I will feel grumpy for several hours after. I am a generally early riser, so thankfully I rarely need one.

      I hope you got a good night’s sleep on the magic pillow, nonetheless!

    I just googled What is Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit?

    Never heard of it before =)

    We have a “Knowledge day” on Sep, 1, because children start their new year at school this day)

    Sad day it is. I am so thankful that my school days are gone. I was always stressed.

    To this day in autumn, when rains start and leaves start to lose their color, I start to freak out about so many things at once, Like I have to do something or start something. It raises anxiety and I go to my favourite form of escapism – perfume!

    I am wearing Vol de Nuit in EDT form today. My old bottle is almost at an end and I am still drooling over vintage bottles of VdN. Hope to get one soon enough =)

        I am seeing it in my students at University. They seem more edgy and all over the place than the usual Freshman jitters.
        Truthfully, we worker bees in the library are also frazzled. Last-minute changes have been chaotic, finding coverage with limited bodies already stretched is difficult.

    Hello all, my SOTD is Eau des Merveilles by Hermès with a spritz of Cloud. I am wafting a huge cloud.
    Drinking my second cup of coffee and starting work early. I was up late working until 8:30pm. Students are all over the place this semester! I sure hope things settle down. :)

    I’m wearing Gris Clair from a new decant. Maybe it will improve in cool weather. It is way too much for the 100+ heat index in my part of Texas. And I was quite restrained when spraying.

    Rabbits! I miss my Angora bunnies, but I am not getting any rabbits until I retire – lot of work.
    SOTD = 5 sprays of Floris Malmaison from my happily found decant of this sadly discontinued but well loved carnation scent.
    George, the spare rooster, has gone to Rooster Dream Vacation, a farm with a flock of 100 free range hens. Foghorn, the youngster, has now been promoted to King of Maple Knoll Flock. He is a little bit shocked by the responsibilities and opportunities, after a summer of running away from George and sneaking around flirting with the girls when he had a chance. The girls all like him well enough, so there is no drama here.
    I am making a concerted effort to manage my little place in the woods to make it less work and more fun. No more extra birds. The woman who took George is very nice, and she tried to give me some Muscovy ducks, but I resisted! Anyone who needs Muscovy ducks, I can hook you up! :-)

    My sample of Zoologist Chipmunk has arrived so I’m sampling today. I like it so far but it also smells a lot like other things I already have, no surprise since I was drawn by the notes: opoponax, vetiver, woods, spices. Interested to see how it dries down.
    Finally cooler air has arrived here, too. All the windows are open and there’s a wonderful cool breeze.

      Muse. I wanted to test it side by side with Chipmunk, but I sprayed my usual ton of Muse.

      Wore Chipmunk a few times this week. I got a little skank one time, which was the first time. I really oversprayed, maybe it was more predominant because of that? The milky, creamy, slight nutty-feels different than Muse, but I will test again. The drydown, as I remember was this delicious labdanum.

      Jalapeno-, not sure if you are Christian, but I am and think your mom passed on a beautiful day. For Christians, that is a Holy Day. My friend lost her father 3 years to the day of your mother, and she is not active in her faith. She’s a gorgeous spirit and deep, caring selfless soul(funny as anything) and found her father passing on a Holy Day, specifically that one, as comforting. I hope it is for you.
      I don’t mean to impose my religious beliefs on anyone.
      Hope that helps ease the grief even 1/1,000,00,000th.

        I was raised Catholic. So I know that my Mom passed away on the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. Maybe in time it will be comforting, but right now the emotions are too raw. I do appreciate the sentiment, though.

    Forgot my rabbits, but I have an Estee Lauder solid perfume compact with a rabbit on it (the fake ‘ivory’ one), so I maintain I am covered for life on the rabbit front, lol.

    Been in a bit of a perfume snit for a while. It’s been hot and smoky so that puts me off perfume. Stuck indoors and crabby and sinus-y and bleah. And the PERFUME CABINET project has been creeping at a snail’s pace… I put the risers in last weekend and it was clear they needed yet another coat of spray paint, but it’s been too smoky out for that. But yesterday was glorious, clear and not too hot, so the spray painting got done, now they sit and ‘cure’ for 48 hours, then I can *finally* start populating the cabinet. Today we are in the fog, cool and chilly and damp… not sure yet what SOTD I’ll pick, but I *will* pick something!

    Remembered to rabbit this morning, hooray!

    Robin, I hope you don’t get too soaked today and the power stays on.

    I’m off to my morning walk soon, I recently switched from evening walks to morning ones because of the weather/bad air quality. Mornings seemed a touch better. This won’t last long though, since I’m transitioning to going back to the office a few days a week soon.

    When I’m back from my walk, I plan on wearing either Aedes signature, or Copal Azur, to celebrate their return! I can’t wait to see their new packaging. It’s hard to imagine they can top the old ones, but if anyone can do it, they can.

        Yes they are! I mentioned it yesterday, it’s on their instagram page and a blog. From what others have sleuthed, it looks like it will be the same fragrances but new packaging.

    I remembered my rabbits this morning, for the first time in forever. I’m with everyone here in not believing it’s September.

    SOTD is boring — I went with Narciso again, but I put the new bottle on against the dregs of the sample I had, because I thought the sample was a little different. They’re the same, basically, although the sample is a bit more concentrated since I’m down to the very last few drops in a bottle that was already drying up a bit. (Those TPC samples don’t last…note to self to use them up.)

    Today is going to be an incredibly busy day, and that’s even without school starting yet. Little Ockeghem and I both need haircuts, but our stylist had a family emergency so we had to reschedule with others in the salon and at different times today. She has a bike camp this afternoon, and then she’s starting with a track club immediately after that. And our new dining table chairs are supposed to be delivered, the plumber is supposed to come hook up the refrigerator, and the cabinetmaker swears he’s coming today to get most of the cabinets done. (I’m not holding my breath on any of the kitchen stuff…yesterday the contractor was supposed to come and never appeared. Over the last month, all the trades collectively have managed to average about 2 hours of work on my kitchen a week. Grr.) Luckily work is quiet today.

    Argh — for the first time in months I forgot to rabbit, and if there was any month where we needed good luck, it’s this one! I guess something other than superstition is going to need to keep the wildfires and back-to-school viral exposure at bay.

    I’m in Musc Ravageur today, which I always think needs to be called something more like Musc Dip-Your-Biscuits-In-Your-Tea, but I love its sweet growly cuddlesomeness. Off to do a bunch of driving back and forth across the county, first for a short field meeting with colleagues, and then to a doctor’s appointment, and then back home for a hasty lunch before picking up my young ‘un from school. Or, somewhat of what Winnie-the-Pooh would call “a bothering sort of day.”

    Les Indemodables Cuir de Chine is my SOTD. I like to try and thunk a sample or decant the first day of the month, but it may not happen today with this one. I’ll see if it warrants a re-application midday. I think this is one of my faves from the brand. It’s a fruity osmanthus, kinda ashy suede scent. It has clary sage too, which I think helps boost that fruity top note. I smell the clary sage a little more distinctly in the mid-dry down. But this one doesn’t project much after the first hour, so I’ve gotta put nose to skin to pick up on any nuances.

    Good morning all. Another spring day here.
    Yesterday’s sample testing reminded me again not to dither for years over cheap perfume purchases. Aramis Calligraphy Rose was at the discounters for ages, but the moment I thought I might just buy it was the moment it vanished. It is very like Rose de Petra, which is much more expensive, but with the advantage that I actually have Rose de Petra :)

    Forgot about ??? until 10:30am, but still hadn’t spoken out loud by that time, so I said them then and I hope they count. SOTD is Songes. This is my first time truing it and it is reminding me of OJ Frangipani, but heavier and not as sweet. I get the frangipani and tiare, and some jasmine but not a ton of indoles which is good by me, otherwise they might overpower the sweetness of the frangipani. I get the benzoin too, mostly in the down. I can’t pick out the vanilla individually, but I’m not surprised to read that it is in there. Beautiful.

    Mix some coconut and chocolate flavored black tea into my english breakfast today, but the chocolate is non-existent, so next time I’ll go back to just adding coconut flakes.

        Well, we have a leak in our basement from all of the pressure in the watertable, but we had an immersion pump sitting on a shelf (from the garden pond at our old house), so Mr. Vee and I just rigged up a Rube Goldberg machine to pump the water from a bucket under the leak, across the room, and into the slop sink. It is very bobo, but it is holding. So I’m not sure if the rabbits worked because we were able to Macgyver a system, or if the rabbits failed because we got the leak in the first place. ?‍♀️

        Hope you are staying dry!

          There were tornadoes about 20 minutes west of us, and a bunch of them up north of us. We lucked out. Hope you did too, although I think the worst was already over by the time you posted this comment.

        I’m feeling mostly human at this point in the day, so things are looking promising for tomorrow. Hopefully that pans out, and I can start to tackle the Mountain of Laundry.

      Right now, I think that more sleeping will not be a problem. ??

    I wore Cabochard EDP today because I was feeling ornery. I was still ornery but I smelled great!
