Thursday scent of the day 3/17

Posted by Robin on 17 March 2022 181 Comments

Happy Almost-Friday and happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Birthdays today: Penelope Lively, William Gibson, Nat King Cole, Alexander McQueen. What fragrance are you wearing?

I'm (sadly) home from vacation. I'm taking points and facing a day of laundry, chores and errands in Gobin Daudé Sève Exquise.

Reminder: on 3/18 we're doing Green Friday...wear a green perfume (St. Patrick's Day is on Thursday so maybe wear 2 in a row? This is a repeat from 2014)

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.

    I’m in the greenest thing I own, Yves Rocher Homme Nature, a leafy garden after the rain (and a reminder that inexpensive doesn’t have to mean cheap, and that YR used to make some top-notch fragrances). I usually save it for the first day of spring, but I’ve made an exception today.

    I’m in Zoologist Musk Deer. This is the first and only Zoologist that I’ve tried. I may be the oddball out here, but those animal names just don’t appeal to me. Beaver? Chipmunk? No thank you. But that’s just me, I’m sure many love them, I’m clearly not their target audience. This one is lovely though, and I’m always on the lookout for a good musk.

    I have been sleeping like @&$# this week! Tossing and turning for hours before I finally fall asleep, then in the most wonderful state of deep sleep when the alarm goes off. Tomorrow I am off and so is my teenager. I get to spend the whole day with BOTH my girls!? We have a true ladies day of shopping and lunch planned. When I was talking about it at dinner last night the response from my teenage daughter was, “if you two are going makeup shopping can you just drop me off at barnes and noble?” lol

      Zoologist perfumes are all wildly different. I like enough to always want to sample new releases and I am a big fan of travel size bottles but most samples don’t turn into further purchases.

      Your ladies day out sounds wonderful. I miss my daughter so much.

    Trying out Victoria Beckham eyeshadow today, see if it lives up to its hype. Cashmere sweater for this dreary day.

    A venting post, non perfume related.

    A close friend of mine lent me a book, a signed copy, that she loved and said she would read it again. While we were away on vacation I left the book in the room where my father in law is staying, on a high shelf. Last night, while I was staying at my dresser in my bedroom I realized that book mark I was using was there amongst my things. (this book is long 800 + pages, so I was sort of freaked out that I would have to find my place) Upon retrieving the book from its spot I realized it had been damaged. Like, damaged in a way that if I received a book I lent out back, I would be frustrated with that person. I am not sure what happened, and for the sake of peace and sanity, I will not ask my FIL what happened. This morning I have been calling around independent book stores to find a replacement signed copy. Good grief. I finally found one and they have it on hold for me. I know my friend would never ask me in a million years to replace the damaged book, but I don’t want to harbor bad feelings. I am thinking about writing her a card when I drop off the book but I am not sure what to say..

    SOTD No 19 Poudre for the CP

      You are a good person to replace the book (with signature!) and not question your FIL. All you can do is write an apologetic note and explain what happened, I’m sure she will understand and appreciate your efforts.

      And next time, you will hide all valuables in very safe places. 🙂

      Such a stickyicky situation, but I vote your idea is perfect – and I too am so happy that you found a replacement. Plus, you smell wonderful. Poudre did not get a lot of love when it came out, but I really enjoy it. I wore a generous spritzing last night while watching a show about pandas on “Nature.”

      Your plan sounds like the best way to handle it, and I agree with cazaubon that your friend is sure to understand the situation and appreciate your tracking down a replacement.

      And I will suggest that if the damage was from liquid, you might want to check to see if someting is leaking on that shelf. (Like say an overwatered plant — just a random example that I pulled out of thin air for no particular reason at all…)

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I remembered to wear green (I usually forget) as I hastily got dressed for a 7:45 a.m. meeting with my boss, only to come downstairs and find out that he wanted to reschedule. Sigh.

    I’m borrowing an idea from yesterday and trying out my sample of Hiram Green Lustre. I love rose and what little I can smell so far. It’s barely there, after having slathered it on from the sample. I’m not sure if it’s because it came from a dabber bottle, or I’ve had it a few years, or what. Oh well, that’ll be fine as I have a massage mid-day and should be relatively scent-free for that.

        Yeah, it didn’t have any staying power, not sure why. I’ve switched to the other Hiram Green sample I have — Vivacious — post-massage, and it’s much stronger. However, it’s giving me strong Mr. Bubble vibes, so I’m hoping it settles a bit.

    Finally CP points for me, I’m in the green colored arbolé by Hiram Green. I love the color of this scent so much, but my older bottle is much less green now than when I first got it. Maybe due to the vanilla in this natural perfume.

    Went to the eye doctor yesterday and they are recommending cataract surgery so I am thinking about it. Apparently astigmatism can be corrected at the same time and I would love not to have to wear glasses all the time.

      There have been times when I envy people getting cataract surgery. I spent most of my life without glasses, and I would love to go back to that. Although, it’s never good news to hear surgery is recommended, at least this seems to be something most folks have recovered from quite well.

    Went to spray SSS Forest Walk, but since I didn’t have my contacts in, I accidentally grabbed and spritzed Winter Woods. Oh well, a lot of deep dark colors that bear no resemblance to green in this one.

    Didn’t even remember St Patrick’s Day until I read the heading of this post…My Irish half is quite disappointed in me. ☘️

    All the talk of No. 19 Poudre and Synthetic Jungle made me remember Miller Harris La Feuille. A blind buy from TJX many moons ago, I remember wearing it a few times and thinking I smell like I’ve been working in my tomato patch. A good smell, but not my perfume style. However, today I find the rose and the other leaves are much more forward than the tomato leaf. I am really enjoying it but giving the side eye to the cedar which can spoil the party for me. In other news, we are having a beautiful day and I worked in my yard for the first time. In our climate Zone 6, I know all I can do is late Winter clean-up and admire my bulbs starting to come up. We have many freezing days ahead. I did over winter some lantana in my garage! So that was a win; surely it will make it now. Finally, you all smell wonderful – again, I did not know how many green loves I have!

      Sounds maybe more my perfume style? But I would think I’ve tried it, and have just forgotten.

      I think I have lots of bulbs up too and when the weather improves I will go out and do a survey 🙂

      My bulbs are all well on their way at this point, but I think we’re Zone 8.

      Thank you for the tomato leaf idea! That will make tomorrow easier — I totally have tomato leaf perfumes and didn’t think about it for “green” perfumes.

    I chose Jour d’Hermes today. Took my car in for service, and am coveting the loaner they gave me. Smooth and zippy! But way out of my price range, so I’ll be sad when I hand it back to them.

    I’m a green girl from scent day one. My mom sold Avon, and my first personal scent was Somewhere. I graduated to Chanel No. 19, Ô de Lancôme, Diorissimo, Aliage and Le Temps d’une Fête.

    I’ve expanded beyond green florals, but they’re still my first love. So today is Chamade EdT. I covet the extrait of this.

    The snow in our back woods is melting, and spots of brown are appearing everywhere. I’d walk up the post office in this nice weather, but our driveway is unpaved, so I’m less excited about the muddiness.

      You had some great green scents! I also had Chanel No. 19, O de Lancome and Diorissimo back in the early days.

      Somewhere powder was also my first Avon item. My Mom didn’t sell it but she was a customer; I remember sitting at the kitchen table being able to pick something out. Maybe it was the green tin that got me! Good times back then, thanks for the memory!

        Somewhere! I’m going to check my Avon “inventory” for that one. Psst: I love quite a few Avon scents. Timeless, Imperial Garden, Persian Wood: just to name a few scents that prove the mass market wants the good stuff when it gets a sniff!

        I think I still have Somewhere powder around. My mom kept it in her bath for hers…never using. I took it after she passed away. I’m pretty sure I moved it with me because it still retained scent.

    I’m saving a green scent for tomorrow and wearing Zoologist Snowy Owl today. I haven’t been here much partly because of feeling terrible after surgery (much of that due to medication side effects) and also I just didn’t have any perfume with me for most of my time in three hospitals over three weeks (long story). My leg seems to be healing but has a long ways to go due to how bad my femur fracture was (they refer to it as “shattered”). I’m home temporarily among my cats since my brother has been here to help but he and his wife are leaving tomorrow. Fortunately I’m going to a friend’s house then.

    I am in A Mood today, and perversely enjoying the cloudy, rainy, cool weather. It’s exactly what March ought to be around here, but hasn’t been. I hope that the recent spate of record warm temps aren’t a harbinger of what summer will be like…

    SOTD = Chanel No. 19 EdP, from the sample stash and hajusuuri. It is absolutely perfect for the weather.
