Wednesday scent of the day 11/10

Posted by Robin on 10 November 2021 235 Comments

It's Hump Day, Sesame Street Day and the World Science Day for Peace and Development. Happy 61st to Neil Gaiman! What fragrance are you wearing?

I went with Tauer Perfumes Sundowner.

Reminder: on 11/12 we're doing Dealer's Choice, edition 5...propose a theme for a Friday community project, and wear a fragrance that fits your theme.

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.

    Mugler Aura body lotion, which is so strongly scented it might as well be EDP: I can’t imagine slathering it on — I just use a couple of dabs at a time (I transferred the commercial sample into a little jar). I keep teetering on whether I should buy a bottle when I run out: I’ll never come close to using it up and I have a zillion scents already, but it’s *so good* and so interesting — it’s unlike anything else I own, which I think we expect from Mugler.

      Ah, interesting. Wish they made an Angel Muse lotion.

      I find many Mugler body products are strongly scented. I have the Angel body oil and it’s nuclear-strength if I don’t cut it with lotion. It is glorious stuff though…

      I say buy it if it is unlike anything else you own and it’s satisfyingly “good”. And Aura is interesting, and a bit of a shape shifter.

    I slept much better last night, hope you did too Robin! What do you think of Sundowner?
    I’m in Eau Premiere. Today is the second anniversary of my beloved granny’s passing.? Although my sadness is not nearly as raw as those first few weeks, those were rough, I still miss her dearly. My brain sometimes plays tricks on me and I forget that she’s not here. Usually it’s when I see something that reminds me of her. I’ll think to myself “oh! I should get that for my gramma, she would love it” and then I remember that she’s not here. I would imagine this is true for a lot of people.

      I still do that with my grandfather, although he passed away 8 years ago. Not so much seeing things I’d buy, but saying things he’d say. He had a lot of colourful sayings that sometime just fit the moment perfectly.

      Hugs!

          It’s strange to me, the sayings that come out of my mouth sometimes. My dad passed close to three years ago, and I find myself saying things that he said eons ago. It’s all still on the “hard drive”. ?

          Gentle hugs mtg, as you remember your gramma.

            Thanks Nancyleandros. Yes, I think we are hardwired to do that. I sometimes use phrases that my mom would say and then my kids will be like “ok, nana.”?

      I like Sundowner, it’s very Tauer.

      Condolences to you. I still think of things I want to tell my sister, all the time, and she’s been gone since 2010.

      Sending big love and hugs to you. It’s so difficult, especially around the holidays. Be gentle with yourself.
      I do much the same with remembering my grandmother. Sometimes, in the twilight between sleep and waking up, I still hear her voice, and I can smell her perfume.

        ☺️ I heard my gramma’s voice in a dream once. I saved many of her voicemails on my phone. I knew that someday she’d be gone, and I couldn’t bear the thought of never hearing her voice again. Some of them are quite hilarious. It’s very bittersweet listening to them.

      Hi Madtowngirl, I hope your day goes gently and well.
      I can’t recall the exact words but there’s a John Donne poem I like ( The anniversary)
      Only our love hath no decay
      This no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday
      Running, it never runs from us away
      But truly keeps its first, last, everlasting day

      Yes, I think it’s true. I had my parents for a good long while, for which I’m exceedingly grateful. It’s been 5 years for my mom and 3 for my Dad. In some respects, I miss them even more today than I did right after their passing.

    I’m wearing Sycomore, but I’m not sure which version. It is from one of those tiny mini bottles from Chanel. I think they are 4ml. Anyway this is my first wearing, and it is already in the running for one of my top three vetiver scents.

      I had some fun this morning, after reading the story, imagining what a wedding announcement for them in The NY Times Style section would look like — once you’ve written “the bride, a recent graduate of Oxford, is also a Nobel Laureate,” you’ve kind of won. (In my eyes, at least.)

    SOTD = Amber Oud by Killian. I get much more Amber than Oud in this perfume. It is one of my favorites.

    Drinking a large mug of some free trade organic “sweet espresso” coffee, with my collagen and MCT oil, and it tastes great with my mid morning piece of mincemeat pie… :-) Gonna have to go for a long walk after work today!

    Today I asked for Wazamba but my direction of “round bottle, left side near the front” resulted in Bottega Veneta instead. Turns out to be the perfect choice, it’s one of those perfumes that always makes me wonder why I don’t wear it all the time, it smells so good. Happy hump day everyone.

    SOTD = Lazarus Rose 1845

    I just had to have a bottle. Enablers pin goes to tulipani ? ?

    Lots of rose and patchouli and some grounding tonka bean and benzoin!

    In other news, I had my booster yesterday. Thank you for all the well wishes. I had no issues getting my J&J booster but those that needed Moderna had a bit of a wait because they RAN out! You have to have an appointment so it boggles my mind how they can run out? Anyway, there was a line outside but it wasn’t bad. Once I got in and was processed, I got on another line. I was asked no fewer than 5 times which vaccine I was getting! They really should give us a colored tag or a Post-It note that identifies which vaccine we need to be funneled through. Side effects – other than pain at the injection site (and mostly gone for now), so far so good.

      When I was getting my second shot, the clerk who processed my information, sent me to the wrong line. I discovered that before getting to the nurse, came back, and she corrected it on my card without even saying “sorry” or being upset about making that mistake. I wonder: would have the nurse noticed it before administering the dose?

      I’m glad you didn’t have side effects.

      Good they have a system of checking though. Whenever I get a shot (vaccine or otherwise) at Walgreens, I always ask the pharmacist to verify, and to allow me to also look at the bottle.
      Sometimes, mistakes happen, a double-check never hurts anyone.

      There was a looong line at the pharmacy here too, but it wasn’t for vaccinations or boosters. I got my Moderna booster and no ill effects except a bit of tenderness at the injection site that I don’t even notice unless there is direct pressure on it.

      I think the pharmacy’s issue here was they didn’t have enough staff to work the drive through, so it was closed…

    Happy, happy, happy Birthday, Robin!???

    Wearing Lush Jilted Elf from the splitmeet. Such a fun, festive scent! The opening is pretty strong, but after a while it becomes a nice, almost skin scent on me that I am enjoying.

    Thanks to Kanuka and Mtg for the chocolate body products recs. I purchased the Lush Posh Chocolate body wash, Demeter Chocolate Mint body wash and Evil,’s food body lotion and the Marvis Black Forest toothpaste. I will be adding other items, like lip balms, tea, organic dark chocolate bars, etc. It is a fun project and I am sure my friend will have fun and enjoy her present.

    On my third cup of coffee and almost ready to go out for a walk. Glad tomorrow is a holiday and I will be home to rest.

    Happy Birthday Robin! Here’s a song for your perfume and day, (not necessarily appropriate for either). Thank you for another great year of perfume talk and for bringing us all together. to chat, share and make our days better and brighter. I hope the next twelve months bring lots of good times.

    Today I’m wearing the slightly ugly/ weird/ interesting A Drop (Issey). Definitely not a crowd pleaser. After the first fifteen minutes I get quite a lot of spice if the temps are warm and also a green ( non identifiable). In some ways it reminds me of Aura with touches of Feu d’Issey, but I need to try it some more. Readers, I bought it.

    Thank you all *so much* for your supportive comments yesterday! I am feeling better after a good night’s sleep, listening to the Sharon Salzberg meditation, and spending a good hour sitting this morning at dawn. As I sat there, I remembered a quote from a Buddhist meditation teacher:
    The bad news is you are falling through space without a parachute. The good news is there is no ground.
    So I allowed myself to sink into the groundless nature of life.

          I don’t know if you’re into poetry but there is a really nice anthology called Good Poems for Hard Times (Ed. Garrison Keillor, 2005) . I like dipping into poetry when I am down.

      Missed your post yesterday but sending you a ?. What comforts me and gives me perspective when I’m down is my yoga teacher’s favorite advice: Be grateful for what you have . . . and be grateful for what you’ve missed.

        I’ve heard another version, somewhat similar: If you can’t be grateful for what you’ve got, at least be grateful for what you escape. ;-)

    Happy birthday Robyn!
    Our run of warmer weather continues, I love being able to wear lighter dresses. Waking up to sunshine makes the whole world look better. I’ve decided on Rose Alexandrie today.
    Update on the garage door – we got the company that installed it to get it open so that I could take the car for its service yesterday. The power is now back on, so we need to get the company back to reconnect the door motor.

    I was looking for something else and saw my old bottle of Guerlain Insolence, the sort of space-ship one, and thought “Why not?” Well I’m sort of regretting that. It’s really too candy-sweet for my taste, though I do love it in moments where the powdery violet-musk rises to the top. It does really remind me then of L’heure Bleue.

      I love Insolence. I’m in Black Perfecto and was realizing there’s some crossover between the 2 reading your description.

    I’m wearing Shalimar MVP by default since I’m wearing the same shirt as yesterday. Will probably refresh after cleaning up breakfast mess.

    I love omelettes more than just about anything, so I made an egg eater omelette with baby spinach, turkey sausage crumbles and cheese- mouthwatering! Now sipping coffee and catching up on comments.

    Happy Hump Day!

    Philosophy Fresh Cream Soft Suede, which has basically faded away since I put it on this morning. Ready to try another scent.

    No enabler pins for anyone. I was in the local TJ Maxx today and saw Nirvana Rose de Mai, L’Air du Temps, EL Pleasures, Aura and CK One Shock just to mention a few. Didn’t buy anything. I was tempted by the Calvin Klein only because someone on a perfume site mentioned it favorably…I’d never heard of it. I did, however, buy a Lipstick Queen lippy. They had tons of Mac lipsticks also.

    We have YouTubeTV instead of cable, and I admit I’ve been missing the cheesy Hallmark Channel Christmas movies. Well…lo and behold, they just added Hallmark to my lineup. So I indulged last night. And it definitely made me start to get into Christmas mode. Then today in TJ Maxx there were all sorts of holiday items. Again, no purchases. In the car, one of our local radio stations was playing Christmas music. My goodness! It’s official. Like a switch was flipped that bypassed Thanksgiving….

      The Christmas stuff was out a few weeks before Halloween. I saw Lipstick Queen 3-pack lippies and I was about to buy the pack then realized I don’t wear lipstick!

    Good late afternoon to everybody! I’m in Shay & Blue Blood Oranges from a lovely freebie box from a very kind NSTer. This might very well be the elusive orange fragrance I’ve been searching for. It’s a vivid orange to start with, and gets a little spicymusky in the drydown. Love this!

    I have a pot of bolognese simmering on the stove, but I started it late. It’s supposed to simmer for 3 hours. Not sure I’ve ever made a traditional bolognese, so should probably not cut corners. Maybe I’ll put it in the slow cooker on warm and crack the lid a bit? The Wild One needs to RUN at the dog park.

    Happy happy birthday Robin! Echoing many comments today thanking you for this wonderful space.

    SOTD is Jersey, because someone here wore it recently.

    I’m having a bit of an off kilter week due to scheduling. It’s parent teacher conference week for my son and he also is off for Veterans day tomorrow, so I’m having to shift which days I work from home.

      That’s tough. I like a schedule and I’ve been regularly going in on Fridays. My extra other day has gone by the wayside because it is hard to get up so early on an “off” day.

        I agree! I’ve written this before in comments, but No. 22 was the first Chanel I ever bought for myself, when I was in my early 20s. Portia said I was precocious, lol!

    Well, I survived the dentist. I go back next week for the permanent crown. I wore my new Ilio hair mist to the appointment. Thanks again to generous Pixel. I love it! It smells like summer, similar to Soliel Blanc but more of a skin scent.
    R.I.P. Dean Stockwell. I loved him in everything he did, and had a big crush on his character Al in Quantum Leap.

    Wore Oeillet Bengale and Aedes Signature today after getting their email that their house line was finally back. I have samples of each from 2016 that somehow have evaporated yet. Oeillet Bengale is interesting because, based on the description, It should not work for me —- cinnamon is especially difficult for me — but it somehow works and smells so good! And the rhubarb tomato-leaf thing in Signature is fantastic.

    Drank a strong and spicy assam-chai blend today to keep me alert after staying up way too late to finish The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest (10 years after the rest of the world).
