Thursday scent of the day 3/10

Posted by Robin on 10 March 2022 124 Comments

Happy Almost-Friday! It's also National Mario Day, Harriet Tubman Day and International Bagpipe Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

Me: still on vacation, still commando for a beach day, still wearing Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum at night since it's the only perfume I brought with me.

Reminder: 3/11 is the two year anniversary of the day the WHO declared the Covid-19 pandemic. Wear whatever fragrance you think fits.

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.

    A bright ‘n shiny morning and it’ll be going up to 6°C today so that’s basically spring, and I’m wearing the equally bright ‘n shiny Limone di Sicilia by I Profumi di Firenze (which I bought *in* Firenze, so it reminds me of Italian sunshine and of the days when we could travel with some kind of impunity). No real lasting power, as we expect of the citruses, but wonderful while it does last.

      I would love to be in Firenze. Where I can practice my Italian and sip espresso while taking in the fashionable Italians.

    Hi all! No scent, but maybe I will wear something later.

    Things are mostly quiet at my place. People in other towns and cities of Ukraine are not so fortunate. Towns and cities are shelled and bombed 30-50 km from me.

    A client very generously offered an apartment in Malmö as a place we could stay until things are ok in Ukraine. So, I am planning to move and very overwhelmed by everything. It looks like the route should be Poland – Germany – Denmark – Sweden. I am collecting all kinds of information about help for refugees in these countries. We (my mother and I) do not have a car, plus we have a cat, and neither of us are physically strong, so we have to travel more or less lightly.

    Another problem is money. We do not have much. It looks like volunteers and humanitarian organizations help with free food, place to stay and travel (plus trains seem to be free for Ukrainians in Europe), there is still a question of how we are going to survive in Sweden. My main client is Ukrainian, and they are unable to pay me the money they owe me. One of my overseas clients promised to send more work my way. If any of you know someone who needs a translator, editor (English > Ukrainian, English > Russian), I would appreciate this opportunity. 20 years of experience, worked with major brands (mostly automotive, but I also translated a lot of marketing materials, some camera, dishwasher and oven manuals etc.). I also do QA and work as a terminologist. I used to be fluent in Spanish and can still understand easy texts. A long shot, but I though it is worth a try.

    Thank you again for words of support.

      I talked to Mr. SP and he said his company works with some large global companies who use translators. He may even have some names of contacts. You can contact me via my screen name above (it takes you to my gravatar page with email) if you are interested, and I will send you the company information. I can’t guarantee it will be helpful, but worth a try!

        The three are Gingerbread & Brown Sugar, Chestnut Cream & French Vanilla, and Spicy Pumpkin & Marshmallow. The Chestnut Cream is my favorite – kind of similar to Masque Milano Madeleine. Gingerbread is my second favorite, it has lots of lemon and reminds me a bit of 4160 Tuesdays Hammersmith Tea & Biscuits. Last is Spicy Pumpkin, which is a bit of spice and light pumpkin, a bit meh for me. Not as distinctive as ELdO Like This. Overall I think they are pleasant but not original and I won’t be buying any.

    Cap Neroli for me today. It’s not really bringing the summer vibes I was hoping for, though. I’m still scratching my head about the CP. I know I started wearing more perfume and more perfumes per day, but my March 2020 memories are mostly of reading way too much breaking news and wondering for how long I could teach from home with a 3-yr-old companion!

        It’s not very piney on me, it reminded me more of things like SSS Incense Pure or Ormonde Jayne Woman. Didn’t love it immediately but it grew on me.

    Enjoy the last of my FIL chai as he leaves tomorrow for Canada

    Sampling two scents: Absolutio by Navitus perfume reminds me of MFK Baccarat 540.
    Roja Danger, which is a replica of my beloved Samsara

    Masks off and I am buying way to much lipstick. Another Byredo lippy!

    For tomorrow, I will wear Shalimar. Shalimar was my companion through the pandemic. She was the Queen that comforted me, the perfume my children snuggled with when they were subjected to doom zoom school at home.

    SOTD… not sure yet. Possibly Box of Eels, but we’ll see what the hand actually reaches for. It’s chilly and windy out! While I was sipping my tea this morning, with a cat snoozing on my lap, I was watching the turkey vultures struggle with the wind gusts. Tough flying weather.

    I’m wafting Wazamba this morning while engaged in the continuing process of putting the house back in order now that the contractors are gone. Sadly discovered one area that didn’t quite get completely painted (back door moulding is primed but doesn’t match the door itself), so there is more to be done … eventually. ?

        Yes, mostly because some of the painting was 23 feet up (our living room is double-height) and I’m not that brave. And there was a LOT to be painted (and repaired, as it turned out) and I’m only good for one room every, oh, year or so. ?

    International Bagpipe Day!? This reminds me of a campground I was at on the coast of Oregon. There were two couples who between them had 5 Giant Schnauzers, none of which was under control, dragging the men all over the place, including knocking one down on the beach. Every time I had to walk by their campsite those dogs became so loud and aggressive, the people had to come out and restrain them.

    T-Rex doesn’t engage with other dogs unless they’re in her personal space, but I could see her sizing them up and coming to the realization she was fully confident that should a scuffle begin, she would end up on top! Overconfident much, T-Rex?

    Both men wore kilts (the one who fell in the beach was too far away for me to see anything when his kilt flew up ?) and in the evening delighted the entire campground with their bagpipe playing skillz. Imagine that!

    Anyway, I’m back in my favorite Amber today for a day of cold whipping winds and the potential for the dreaded wintery mix. I’m snug and cozy in my van that smells like toast, eggs, and coffee and wishing everyone felt as safe and warm.

    I used to go straight to the news first thing in the morning, but I have to admit, I’m putting it off because of the trepidation I feel these days.

    Hope you all stay safe and warm. ✌?

        Sorry, didn’t realize I didn’t name it! It’s Profvmvm Ambra Aurea. The mother of all ambers, it’s deep, dark, resinous, and mysterious. It smells like I imagine the underground tunnels in Khazad-dûm smell. I couldn’t find it anywhere that shipped to the US. Shout out to Foxbins who chimed in saying The Fumerie in Portland carried it. A chunk of change later, a travel size was on its way to me. Highly recommend it!

          Thanks, Deva! I’ll have to add that to my sample list, too. I’ve sniffed it before, but it was years ago, and I remember liking Ambra di Fiori a little better. However, I ordered neither, and when I got a new sample of the Fiori it smelled nothing like I remembered. It was a scrubber! I was taken aback, since their Rosae Mundi is one of my HG scents. Well, off to try again!

    Farmacia Annunziata Vaniglia del Madagascar from a most generous NSTer.

    Been feeling sad like so many others with the state of the world. 🙁

    On a happy note, I bought an awful sleep boot for plantar fasciitis and have been doing exercises. Have been sleeping in the boot for 2 weeks and incorporated a heel stretch off a step to my exercise repertoire and yesterday and today I am finally feeling progress and less pain! 🙂 I don’t like to complain but the pain was surprisingly intense and persistent at times in the last few weeks.

      I’ve had plantar fasciitis so I can sympathize. I never wore the sleep boot, just slept on my side until it improved.

      I couldn’t deal with the boot when I had FP. I got a foot rocker-calf stretcher thing and it worked magic.

      I’m glad you are feeling some relief! I’ve had PF and I know how painful it is ?

      Glad to hear that your PF is responding to treatment! I had a bout with it back in the early 2000’s. It sucked, big time.

    SOTD is Tam Dao, one of my most worn perfumes during the first lockdown.
    I am also burning Diptyque Baies.
    I have to complete some mandatory compliance training by tomorrow, and I am desperately trying to make the evening more enjoyable.

    I’m joining the CP by doing what I’ve been doing for last oriole of years – wearing a lot of my comfort scents. In my case, that usually means sandalwood or chypre, so today it’s the latter with Estéban Classic Chypre. Low-key and lovely.

        That’s a great idea! Will have to try that. I wore Aromatics Elixir at around 10 sprays in the Florida heat and it was amazing (mostly as protection/forcefield purposes).

        Bernard Chant made quite a few scents that I have (I just googled his work, wow!)

    ****PSA****
    Ministry of Scent, formerly known as Tigerlily, and Andy Tauer are holding a fundraising auction for Ukraine on IG today until 9pm PST. Up for auction are paintings by Andy Tauer, and a bottle of Tauer perfume is included with each painting.
    The IG is @ministryofscent and the posts are up and taking bids. Most of you probably know of this already, but I thought I’d post it any way. ❤️ ?? ❤️

    I’m in Scotch Porter Miami Duppy, from a freebie box that I really need to pass on to someone else. Maybe next week!

    Gorgeous weather here, having a test tomorrow that will shed some light on the gallbladder issue I’ve been having. After that, I’ll know exactly what’s wrong and the urgency of the issue. I’m glad to finally be finding out next steps. ?

    I’m wearing TF Metalique. I just wanted something simple that smells nice. 2 more days with snow in the forecast, then possibly heading to a real spring ?
    Also… I see Amazon is selling the 30th anniversary edition of Terracotta. Anyone have thoughts of ordering perfume with them? The price seems a little high compared to what it’s selling for at some department stores in the U.K.

      Only caveat is to watch the price. Amazon now suggests Angel Croisiere for me since I bought a bottle from them in January and the prices fluctuate a lot.

      It’s been a long time since I ordered perfume from Amazon. I found something for an excellent price and pounced. No problems with shipping or product authenticity. But if things seem too good to be true, it more likely than not is.

      And on a completely different topic, I heard about this last night and thought of you (while I LMAO’ed): https://drinkitupbykiss.com/products/kiss-cold-gin

      What’s special about the bottle? Maybe I’m too cavalier in my old age but I don’t even think twice anymore if I have to pay postage for packages from the UK. That said, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with buying from Amazon.

        The bottle doesn’t even look different to me. I’ve just been looking for one for a few years. I will investigate pricing and shipping over seas to see if it comes out any cheaper.

    Still commando. Things have cleared up, but I think a couple extra days for my skin to calm down is probably a Good Thing.

      Good plan! I usually end up applying hydrocortisone to clear things up.

    SOTD = Jo Malone Silver Birch & Lavender Cologne

    Woot! I enjoy this one and today’s 8 sprays lasted all day!

    I have some freebies to post at some point but want to experiment with one first with another person who doesn’t post here. I mailed out 9 packages a few weeks ago and 7 got delivered with no issues, 1 had posted due (and the recipient covered – thank you) and 1 took its sweet time to get returned to me for postage due (since rectified).

      If temps stick around in the 50’s and 60’s, lavender scents are a perfect choice.
