It's Monday and Presidents' Day. Also, International Mother Language Day, and a few birthdays: Anaïs Nin, WH Auden, Nina Simone, John Lewis, Alan Rickman. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in My Burberry.
Reminder: 2/25 is George Harrison's birthday. Tell us a favorite George Harrison or Beatles song and wear the fragrance that matches the song. (Adapted from a suggestion by Old Herbaceous. We did a similar project for John Lennon in 2020.)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2022, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Goeie More “Ruik nou hierdiè”!

Good Morning “Now smell this!”Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday so far!
SOTD!
Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca.I needed something fresh,minty,and vibrant for another scorcher of a Summer’s day!
Chin up friends,it’s almost “naweek”(weekend…?)
XO’s
“Another scorcher of a summer’s day”
Now you’re just taunting me!??
Haha!ONE MORE month of Summer bliss!I’m depressed just thinking about it!!??
Lillyjo, I will send the 70 degrees that I’m supposed to have on Wednesday to you!
Thank you!
And that reminds me…in case anyone wants to see the new Aqua Allegoria refills (200 ml):
https://www.galerieslafayette.com/p/aqua+allegoria+22+herba+fresca+-+recharge-guerlain/83872923/378
That was fun. I am having the fantasy that I can almost understand perfume ad copy French!
I’m back to finishing up decants. Today’s was Fleur de Carotte. Pretty, but not carroty.
Great scent though, and the original bottle was fantastic.
No scent yet, but I might go with Jacobo Art Collection No. 8, which for me smells very much like I’m carrying around a big mug of chai. I love the sheer spiciness of it, which works perfectly with the milk notes to create a cloud of comfort.
I love that you are creating a cloud of comfort. Great choice !
Yum! Sounds like another one to put on the list. Enabler.
Quite an impressive list of birthday folks today. I was fortunate to hear John Lewis speak just a couple of years before he died; it was a humbling and inspiring experience. And Nina Simone’s “Our Love Will See Us Through” was the song Mr. Skal and I danced to at our wedding.
George is the favored Beatle at our house, so I’ll have to think a bit for Friday (but probably won’t post — we will be on the road for our last major trip with the students, to Belfast and Derry). Today am in Bottega Veneta, which is almost thunked. Did thunk Dzing! yesterday.
Here’s a link to “Our Love…,” if you want to listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYmT-Xi_fq4
How cool!
George has always been my favorite. I like to tell my husband his is the only solo Beatle music that matters, just to rib him, since he loves Paul McCartney 🙂
(But really, George is the only one whose solo music I still listen to regularly.)
I am wearing Atelier Pomelo Paradis, drinking a cup of Irish breakfast tea, and trying to decide whether to buy a backup bottle of this scent. I really do enjoy wearing it and I own a 30 ml bottle that is about 75% used. I missed out on the Sephora Atelier sale 🙁
Just wondering if I can still get it when this small bottle is used up. With all of my perfumes, it is hard to determine when my bottle will be used.
I have bottles of scents no longer made, and I use them sparingly. My husband will tell me “just use them and enjoy them”, then I will tell him “yes, but when they’re gone, they’re gone”.
Ugh, the problems of perfume-loving person !
It looks like fragrance net still has the 100ml available.
Also Sephora website says sold out on most of the Ateliers, but my 2 local stores have them in stock at 30% off. If you have a local store, try calling them.
Thanks! I may stop by Sephora today !
I took a personal day because I didn’t realize there would be no school for my daughter today.
I am wearing 24 Faubourg, because I wanted something perfumey smelling. It’s my favorite perfume category… perfumey. Lol.
You smell nice and perfumey. 🙂
You smell elegant on your day off.
I love perfumey ! Great choice !
Enjoy your day off!
I just love the category of “perfumey” so much. It can be a loaded description, for me it conveys something wonderful and hard to capture!
Perfumey is a loaded word! I may have been the winner of the lottery for most number of scent phobe family members. My brother once said I should stop wearing perfumey perfumes and when I asked what he meant, he couldn’t explain.
On today being a non-school day, should the school have provided a “warning” or were you expected to remember based on tons of paperwork you got at the beginning of the school year? Regardless, I hope you are enjoying your day off!
The school sent me an email on Friday to let me know of this mid winter break for today and tomorrow. My schedule had already been done, but my boss was nice enough to let me take a vacation day for today.
Last semester I asked the school if they could tell me these things earlier. They said they were trying to encourage my daughter to pass along information since technically she’s an adult and should be doing so. Ugh… she is 18 but her communication skills are at about age 9( on a good day) that’s the whole reason she’s in this particular school!
I know exactly what you mean when you say “perfumey!” My go to when I’m in that mood is Amouage Fate, which I need to wear again soon.
Fate and Beloved are my two favorite perfumey perfumes as well!
You smell fancy *and* perfumey!
Good day.
Sotd is CH’s Oud Couture.
Spring is fast approaching, need to wear copious amounts of heavier perfumes before they get shoved to the back.
Enjoy the sillage while you can!
Also being oudy on a brisk day, in L’Autre Oud.
Kids were in my perfume today. They picked Delina, so that is my SOTD
Off to an art museum and wearing lots of pretty makeup to match the girly Delina
Have fun!
Have fun!
Sounds like fun! Did you bring the kids?
Starting off George Harrison week with a bang!
Sotd is SL Tubereuse Criminelle inspired by “Think For Yourself”
Nice, I like it!!
Started my day with a strange dream of being at a Frank Zappa concert listening to him sing “Born on the Funky Bus.” Weird!
I’m wearing SL Un Bois Vanille while eating a mushroom and cheese omelette for breakfast accompanied by steaming coffee.
Happy Monday, y’all!
You smell great!
OMG, I had the strangest dream too! An employee wrote a scathing email about how heartlessness of the company we work for and the email went on for pages. It was originally sent to a general mailbox and was forwarded to me because the monitor of the mailbox is in technology and didn’t know how to handle (she could have gone to her manager). Anyway, I was trying to make sense of the email and I kept reading the same paragraph over and over again. Made me wonder if the employee simply copied the same paragraph several times ?.
Just moments ago was talking to someone about Frank Zappa. They had no idea about the Zappa music, stunned that I did. Figured I just knew the guitarist he played with at one point.
Also caught a cool article on vanlife I read, because of you.?
Loved Frank Zappa, used to see him at Fillmore East. The mothers of invention were ahead of the curve. He died too young, what an amazing guitarist he was.
I’m not really a Frank Zappa fan but I loved him in ” Smoke on the Water” ?
sorry… lol
Not really a Zappa fan either, which makes the dream even more odd. And “Born of the Funky Bus” was sung to the music of CCR’s “Born on the Bayou.” Deep Purple really had a stellar moment with that song. That opening riff is one of the best ever!
Also had weird dreams overnight. I woke up wondering what on Earth that was about.
No scent yet (other than that of coffee). I will probably go with either Opium or Poison once I’ve showered. Last night I wore Jil Sander No. 4. Yep, I finally picked up all the vintage “memory lane” samples I ordered last month (along with some “I really should have tried these before this” samples).
I’m enjoying my sunny island getaway, even if it’s 0C here. Looking forward to a hike on the south end of the island today, looking over towards Canada. At least I don’t have to pay for roaming when I’m on the west side of the island — I pick up the Canadian carriers. 🙂
Are you in the San Juans?
Yep!
Nice perfume choices.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on those “memory lane” samples.
I was surprised by the Jil Sander. I went from that to Acqua di Gio in about 1995. The latter was very light, so I’d forgotten that the Jil Sander had some presence, and very forward white flowers.
The vintage Opium is lovely, and probably my favourite of the bunch. No real memories attached to that; it’s one of those perfumes I should always have tried but never did. The opening is very similar to the cheap thrill Body Shop Smoky Poppy I bought in Nürnberg in 2015, but then it has so much more complexity.
Shalimar was another one of those “how have I really never tried this over the years” perfumes, although I think I may have sprayed it at The Bay early on and discarded it because of the powder (too grandmother-y). It is beautiful, and has a touch of my grandma’s bathroom, but it’s not overwhelming. Opium’s probably more my style, though.
I just sprayed Poison as my SOTE, and holy cow the immediate memory of North Michigan Avenue in Chicago around Christmas 1987! (I went with my grandparents and aunt for a weekend in Chicago to see an Impressionist exhibit travelling from the Courtauld Institute that I was dying to see. My aunt, who was in university at the time, was dying to get her hands on Poison for Christmas and kept spraying it in every department store.) It is a walk down memory lane, but it’s just too big and fruity/flowery for me.
Out of them all, the vintage Opium is definitely my favourite.
Feeling like chocolatey patchouli today, so I’m wearing Cartier L’Heure Défendue VII.
Yum, you smell delicious, les heure’s perfumes are not best sellers I think but this one deserves attention.
Never heard of that perfume. It sounds like Angel.❤
Wearing Adam Levine, so definitely no CP points…. But this is a great scent, all warm and spicy.
Our Sat evening Valentine concert was truly wonderful. The food was unexpectedly plentiful and tasty. We sat at round tables of 8 so got to chat with other locals. The music was perfect. Jazz quartet led by a very talented young woman bassist and vocalist (Katie Ernst). Jazz standards featuring, of course, love…. Romantic enough that the longest-married couple at the table got up and danced together in the back of the room.
For those of you with musical interests in the family, you may want to check out the summer music academy, which is the primary purpose. There’s a video at the link. https://birchcreek.org/ We will go to some concerts this summer. (Not affiliated at all…no musical talent in my family…)
Reminds me of Tanglewood! Unfortunately, the Newark Museum got rid of its travel program right before the pandemic and I have no plans to get myself there anytime soon, if ever.
How lovely!!! So glad it was fun.
I looked at George Harrison’s solo music on Spotify and fell into a small wormhole. I forgot how pretty many of his songs are, ended up with “If Not For You” as an earworm, not sure if it goes with Fox in the Flowerbed but that’s my sotd. It’s almost 50F here, the snow is melting quickly!
We had 50 yesterday and there was lots of melting going on. Ready for 50 everyday! Although that’s not likely to happen just yet. Enjoy the day!
Thanks, you too ?
A Bob Dylan – George Harrison mashup, so of course I approve!!
the traveling wilburys, yes?
Oddly, I never loved TTW…I don’t know why. Do you love them?
L’Ambre Des Merveilles for me today
Cozy!
MMM smelling good!
Also, GoddessRena, I was just thinking of your kindness in meeting up with me in NYC in like…2012? 2013? and taking me around to Osswald and the other shop whose name I can’t remember. What a fun day 🙂 Thank you again! Whenever I think of perfume in NYC I think of that day.
I’m in Molecule 01 for back to work Monday.
I’m working in my new facility today. Not only is it fancy, but I have my own thermostat! Pretty exited about that. My old location had a cold air vent blowing on me all day and I had resorted to wearing long underwear.
Feeling toasty today.?
What great news! How is it being there–masks required, or what? I hope you feel confident about being back at work.
Thanks Calypso! I’m in healthcare, so I’ve been at work throughout the pandemic. New building though! And yes, masks except when I’m alone with the door closed.
Are you sure the thermostat works? LOL ?
Ha! Yes.?
Now that is fancy!
And a dimmer switch!?
Yay for not needing long underwear at work!
Ha! I know, right?! I wore them today (because I didn’t know) and I actually got hot!
Ugh, that could have gotten rather unpleasant!
Wearing L’Instant Magic today as I read a review for the new TF Rose d’Amalfi saying it is similar. They are both powdery florals w/ almond certainly but I get lots of iris and violet in Magic which are not present in the new TF…not similar to my nose. Some people think all vanilla perfumes smell the same and we know how flawed that belief is too. ?
I also had an old bottle of L’Instant which I preferred to Magic and gave to a friend in a moment of weakness. 😉 Has anyone sniffed the new L’Instant Guerlain released in 2021 as part of Les Légendaires line please? I am curious how this latest incarnation is. I bought L’Initial from the new line and it’s quite faithful to the original Shalimar Initial.
I’ve noticed this all notes smell the same idea on YouTube.
Tuberose = Gucci Bloom
Coffee = Black Opium
Oud=Oud Bouquet ( which is ridiculous, there is literally zero oud in it)
Yes, some over generalizations for sure. ?
Alan Rickman. He was so good in everything.
I’m wearing a big dirty tuberose in vintage Carolina Herrera.
That voice of his could seduce anyone within 2 minutes!
Sigh, I agree about his voice!!
I know, I miss him. Such a sexy voice.
You smell fantastic!
You smell fabulous!
I’m also very sad about Alan Rickman. He was great.
It’s warm enough to open the windows today, not like mid-February at all, and I’m in one drop of Guerlain Vega, an explosion of aldehydes and chilled flowers. It’s more than a little like Clinique Wrappings, but it’s always interesting to see how two houses treat the same basic idea.
I thought it would be warm enough for that here. Not quite, but I opened the windows for a bit anyway.
Byredo Pulp. I’ll probably top it off with even more Pulp soon. I get why people hate this, but I think it’s just crazy enough to be awesome.
Professional Development from home today, and it’s been exhausting and frustrating. Now I’m just staring at my laptop, trying to grade, feeling like I need to run away, but I know my brain will come along with me wherever I go!
Pulp is my favorite Byredo and you smell fabulous!
Pulp is crazy awesome!
Love Nina♥️

It was Liz Earle Botanical Essence No 1 during the day, cheerful and bright and tonight it’s Oriza L. Legrand Héliotrope wich smells almondy and just a little sweet.
*which
You smelled great all day Aurora!
Thank you Robin, I remember you like that Liz Earle too.
I’m in Grandiflora Queen of the Night and I’m feeling like a queen in it! It’s an amazingly beautiful floral. To me it features a mix of jasmine and datura–it could go over the edge but doesn’t. I feel like I’ve got an aura around me that requires that I walk straight with the proper posture.
I’m working on walking but had a big setback yesterday when I tripped the edge of a rug and fell straight down onto my operated knee. I was kind of frantic about it coming apart. That didn’t happen but there was just searing pain up and down my leg. I managed to sit on my bottom for awhile to calm down. Then I discovered I could not get myself up by any means. I called a friend to come and help and he suggested going over to the stairs with my legs dangling down, and then, by grabbing onto the railing, I was able to get myself up. Thank goodness! It was very painful yesterday but today seems better. I can tell though that it set me back on my exercises. Some of them really burn.
We’ve got amazing weather today. It says on the news we have 80 degrees, but it doesn’t feel that warm to me, maybe because it’s very balmy and the air is soft and humid–Gulf air coming up our way. I’m out on my porch enjoying it along with three or four cats. Very pleasant! Now if only I had some wine! (I’m not actually allowed it with my meds now.)
Ouch. Glad the knee feels better. When my parents were alive, my brother made a pronouncement that orthopedic surgery usually result from people of all ages tripping over rugs.
Yes, I have now removed all the rugs at least from my bedroom, where they are on an already carpeted floor. In fact my last bad fall, on January 9, was also over a rug and that’s when I broke my glasses and my pinkie finger. Did I learn from it? Did I listen to my doctor then? No. Now I’ve learned my lesson and rolled up all the rugs. I do feel kind of stupid!
Don’t feel stupid! Poop happens.
Oh no, sorry to hear about your fall and the ensuing pain. Sending you lots of healing vibes!
So sorry to hear this. Can you remove all the rugs?
Done! See above. Should have done it earlier–the directions for knee and hip patients tell you to do that. Of course they also tell you to keep all small animals away from you. Can’t be done at my house! Fortunately my cats are scared by my walker and don’t (yet) get under foot since they run away when I come near them.
O, Calypso, I’m so sorry! Having to call for help is scary and humbling. Good news you are on the right path.
“Humbling” is a good word for it. I don’t usually feel old (I am 70) but yesterday I did.
Scooting around on your butt is quite an indignity.
Been there. Doing the scoot!
Not old. Minds are sharp, enough crashes take their toll on any body.
How unfortunate, no more rug, hope your healing process continues unimpaired.
Holy cow, that’s scary! When I worked for an insurance company, I learned people most commonly trip over: #1 you guessed it! RUGS! #2 Pets #3 shoes.
Wishing you a fast recovery!
Crap!
Shoes? I fall a bit and every one of these apply. What about cold feet’s?
I am glad you are ok!
Ouch, ouch, ouch! I’m sure that was a painful fall but I’m glad you are able to get back to PT. My husband fell and tore a muscle 3 wks after a knee replacement and had to have a second surgery.
Yeow! Your story made my knees ache in sympathy. Glad to hear that your unfortunate gravity experiment didn’t do a lot of damage.
Oh no, I am so sorry! That sounds awful. I hope you feel back to normal very soon and the knee heals well xx
Oh no! I take it you are not on a walker?
Either way, so glad you rolled up all the rugs!
Hermes Rose Ikebana. Very soft and illusive today. Guess I’ll have to spray on some more. 🙂
But of course!
SOTD = Papillon Bengale Rouge
I almost went commando and gave a start when I realized that! I was dithering over which perfume to wear or if I should continue with sampling. I may just sample on the days I don’t go into the office and may do this through the end of March. I doubt I will last that long.
I dropped off 4 boxes / bags of stuff to donate – yay me! There should be more but I’ll take any victory – the house feels just a tad bit lighter! I’ll try to go at least once every 2 months but will certainly try for once a month. I also went to Costco and almost had a run in with a self-checkout “helper” who insisted on putting my scanned items in a different cart because that is their new protocol. Really? I refused because that means I have to wipe down another cart and I just did not have time to do that. Also, only 3 stations out of 12 have room for a 2nd cart so it seems they are randomly doing it versus that being the new rule. I will observe the next time I go.
In an observation / trying not to be judgemental in any sort of way, I saw several places with what I consider Christmas decorations to still be out:
1. A cutout of 2 huge golden bells with red ribbon declaring Season’s Greetings
2. An inflatable of a character from Frozen holding a snowflake
3. An inflatable snowman behind a maypole (at least I think that’s what it is)
Lazy or enthusiastic?
Lazy!
This!
Christmas? I just started to look at presents again today. Starting to take down bigger decorations probably tomorrow, but it is Christmas 365 days a year at my place. Even my dishes and glasses are Christmas-y.
Outside decorations are gone, sadly.
I speak of nostalgia and keeping the spirit of Christmas alive more than one day a year. I grew up like this.
I have no idea. Sorry!
Oh, no judgement for inside the house. Outside, well … trying not to.
Oooh! I do have one up outside!
It is small, by the entrance, with a little dog in a Christmas hat, by the beach. It is supposed to change seasonally. Judge away! Wait til St. Patrick’s!
In the world of “holiday” and “decorations” I was just as Walmart to pick up a prescription and saw Easter Peeps out already!
I know ???

You are really cleaning house!
I am about to get up and play ” keep or donate?” With my daughter and her closet. I need to figure out what she will need for spring/summer.
Actually, I’ve hit a cleaning rough patch but I am reinvigorated!
I used the self checkout at my Costco for the first time last week, and didn’t see anyone swapping carts.
The Costco self-checkout has one Costco employee per checkout contraption. The “punishment” for not following the rules is that the customer has to scan the items and put it on the counter next to it (which I refused to do). Next time, if forced to follow the rules, I will have them clean the surfaces of my checkout lane because … COVID…
Wow. Your Costco has a lot more people monitoring the self checkouts. I think there were 2 people for all of them at the one near me.
Oy, forgot the most important thing —
PSA: Beautyhabit 20% off site wide purchase over $100 with code “FEBTREAT”. Restrictions apply. Good until midnight Pacific Time February 24th.
SotD = Theorema
and a walloping good dose of it. I spilled perfume from my mini bottle down my arm and on my sweater. Sometimes more is MOAR, and more is better with Theorema.
I adore George Harrison and his music. I’d pair Theorema with My Sweet Lord. The perfume is sweet and theo references deity, so there you go.
Happy birthday wishes to Auden and Rickman, two of my favorite famous gentlemen, and to all those celebrating today for any joyous reason.
No school today means I’m catching up on household tidying and necessary busywork. Next up? A bike ride. Hopefully the sun will peek out soon. Scented kisses to all NSTers. 🙂
Can’t be worse than tasting Angel!
Enjoy the bike ride!
ha! so true. 🙂 the bike ride was nice and sunny.
Theorema + My Sweet Lord is a great match. Maybe I will use that later this week 🙂
Smelling good in Chipmunk. My smell is still muted, so I enjoy the beginning. Soooooo good.
One of my doctors fudged my BP last week. I watched the screen, the nurse freaked, tried my other arm differently with slightly higher numbers. I left with good enough numbers, not mine, but they look pretty.
Earlier last week my numbers are consistent to what I’ve experienced. 77/55. That doc didn’t change anything.
Its like when I was teaching and I wouldn’t change a student’s grade, but the principal did.
I don’t understand how the doctor fudging can help you.
It helped her. I was very low. They should have kept me. I need my low BP taken seriously by a Dr.
Now, I’ve got records that make it harder.
Another unseasonably warm and sunny February day here. I have once again turned OFF the heat and have a screen door cracked open to the patio. However, the cats aren’t fans of the fresh, cool air and would much prefer to laze on the vents with the heat on! They may get their wish later on tonight… ??
SOTD = back in No. 19 EdP. Just the thing needed to face another Monday.
You smell good, of course ?
Thank you! I think I like No. 19 more in warmer weather. But it is one of those perfumes that smells good no matter what the season.
You smell so nice Jalapeno! Galbanum and N19 great for warmer weather. It is unsettling how warm it is- I think this is year I have noticed it the most.
Is there such a thing as “too hot” for a cat? There must be, but so far my cat Mori (lying at 50 cm in front of the 37 degC fan right now) has not encountered it!
I haven’t ever observed “too hot” for a cat, either! Whenever we would turn on our gas fireplace, one of our previous cats (Jinx) would park herself right on the surround and just bask in the heat. Sometimes her fur got uncomfortably hot to our touch! And she was perfectly fine.
And thanks for the perfume compliment!
Our cat definitely has her moments of too hot. She has a scratch lounge in front of the gas fireplace, and she stays there until she gets too hot, then goes and rests on the rug about a metre in front of the fireplace to cool off for about 10 minutes, then returns to the scratch lounge. And…repeat.
It’s funny to watch because there’s a whole process. You can tell when she’s not quite but almost too hot, and she hangs half her body out over the side of the scratch lounge for a minute or two, and then finally has had enough and gets up.
That is funny!
I think part of the reason that one cat never got too warm was her senior kittizen status. We would always find her draped on heating vents.
My cat used to sleep by the blazing hot fireplace, on a rug or blanket or whatever she wanted.
She loved it.?
Turned off the heat?!
How warm did it get?
It got up to 61 degrees today, and the house didn’t cool off at all when I turned off the heat. Yay for good insulation!
Sunspots for the cats today?
They were much more interested in the couch, and the kitty cat hot pad.
Couches are very cozy.
Those self heating pads are awesome.
The pad we have isn’t self heating. It’s a veterinary grade hot pad that plugs into the wall. It can easily get cleaned if somebody has an accident on it, due to the hard plastic construction.
Have had three nights of 11 hours sleep. Nothing like leaving a project in the rear-view mirror.
Laptop shipped back; next one will arrive this week.
Chilly in SoCal. Have been doing all sorts of needed things. And watching a long list of stuff… Inventing Anna right now. Even though it’s a holiday in the US, the tree team is here, and they are taking down two eucalypti right in front of my townhouse. Started with the buzz saws at 8:30 sharp.
SOTD is JM Velvet Rose and Oud. How did I miss this one? it’s beautiful, I think. I have tripled my roses in my collection this year.
Went to mall yesterday afternoon and tested TF Rose D’amalfi. Pretty but hard to be sure with mask. Maybe I will get the travel set of three. The SA @ Nordies told me they are selling fast with Rose D’amalfi a clear winner.
Hooray for the 11 hours sleep 3 nights in a row!
it’s the best thing ever. I think I will do it again tonight.
?
I am loving next Friday project and it’s a good excuse to listen to the Beatles again. Transports me right back to childhood, my dad played them all the time. I keep thinking of strawberries!
SOTD today was my last year’s friend Splendiris- so beautiful makeup-y violet tinged creamy iris. I had not payed much attention to it over the winter, but feeling like it again. Seasons and mood are really everything in fragrance. Now I must clean the dust off La Douceur de Siam too.
Pretty sure that some of my cousins listened to the Beatles back in the day!
