Saturday is National Corn Dog Day. Sunday is the first day of Spring plus the International Day of Happiness, UN French Language Day, World Sparrow Day, and Fred McFeely Rogers' birthday.
(PSA: if you need another reason to celebrate the International Day of Happiness, reader Glannys, along with her mom and her cat, is safely out of Ukraine. A group of fellow perfumistas is going to see what they can do to help her get established in Malmö. If you'd like to be part of the effort, you can get added to the list by contacting Elisa P at Instagram or via email.)
We're celebrating everything with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance that always makes you feel happy, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

Such excellent news about Glannys and a testament to how the perfume community is always more then simply about perfume ❤️
I’m in Iris Torrifie
It is excellent news…and I think she either arrived in Malmo yesterday or will today.
Well color me in sunshine today!
Glorious sunny day with blue skies,a perfect late summers’ day!
SOTD!
WICK Fabulous Human.This is so gorgeous.I started my day using the “Fabulous Human” body scrub,it leaves a perfect scenttrail on my skin,topped up with the perfume:Perfection!
Tested the new-new Iris Porcelana from Ex Nihilo as mentioned.If you are a lover(like me!!) of the(I think?) discontinued Bois Farine from L’Artisan Parfumeur,this is for you!It is gorgeous.
My thoughts are dual sadly,because in all honesty,this IS Bois Farine,just under a new label in a new bottle from a new brand.And there-in lies my gripe.It’s fine when things smell like “cousins” or familiar,but exactly like a already-excisting perfume irks me a lot.I know very few people would be familiar with Bois Farine(talking about in South Africa),so this woupd be new amd fresh and wonderful to them,and I hope it does well.Ex Nihilo seems fairly popular here.
Great news about Glannys,that makes me happy that you are safe with your mom and cat!
XO’s!!
??✌?
I do not know if BF is discontinued but it is still sold on their site at the moment:
https://www.artisanparfumeur.com/fragrance/all-fragrances/bois-farine-eau-de-toilette-1243137.html
It is one of several I really regret not buying when it was in 15 ml. I don’t think they’ve ever done it in the new 10 ml travel size.
Enjoy your perfect day, we are going to steal your summer very soon!!
Oh wonderful!Glad BF is not officially discontinued,although I have never seen it at the local retailers selling the supposed entire lineup of L’Artisans.
But if someone does want something freakily similar:Iris Porcelana,there you go!(It’s worth sniffing Robin,and they do have travel sets that are not *too pricey,although the 50/100mls over here are $$$$$$$$$!!
Possibly they don’t distribute it? Possibly it is discontinued and they are selling what is left? I really don’t pay enough attention.
And thank you, but I prefer to just sit tight…I do NOT need more fragrances to love!
Haha!
Famous last words,ey?
I’ve been saying “I have enough” followed by googling “Shalimar cologne at discount”….the rest is history…Lol!!
So, SO happy to hear about Glannys — thank you so much for that bit of fantastic news. And of course perfumistas are rallying to help!
SOTM is a combination of Feu Secret over last night’s lingering traces of Wazamba. I’m an incense junkie lately.
You smell great SheriG!!
So glad you all made it out safely.It has been so heartwarming (and heartbreaking)to see so many pets being carried on long journeys with families as they leave.Wishing you some moments of comfort through all this.
Sorry,this was meant for Glannys.
Two amazing scents!
What amazing news about Glannys. So great to hear!
I’m in Odeur 53. It seemed right for a maybe stormy but it can’t decide kind of day.
I think we are expecting bad storms this afternoon, boo.
Odeur 53 is a fun one, smells like a drycleaner plus a hairsalon to me
So happy to hear about Glannys, her mom and her cat. Here’s hoping things go well for them.
I am wearing Chanel Gabrielle Essence today.
Whenever I think of a happy fragrance I would have to say I think of Marc Jacobs Daisy.
You smell good!
Wonderful news about Glannys! Another reason to welcome Spring with feelings of hope, happiness, and gratitude.
Beautiful day yesterday with sunny skies and temperatures in the 70’s. I took the afternoon off from work to have coffee and pastries with a friend from high school and her two sons. They live overseas and even though we have been in touch lately, we had not met for the past 30+ years. It was an afternoon full of emotions, memories, laughs. A wonderful break in the middle of stressful times for me. We were sitting outdoors with the great view of the Statue of Liberty and the hours went by too fast. We don’t know when we will see each other again, but the whole afternoon was so peaceful and comforting. I wore Prada Infusion de Mimosa and today I am wearing it again to keep the cheerful feeling around. That and Glanny’s news are good reasons for me to be positive and celebrate the arrival of a new season!
Happy weekend, happy Spring and happy Nowruz for those who celebrate! ??????????
What a great day to see an old friend! HS friends are the best, even if you only see them infrequently.
It was! Meeting HS friends have always been very joyful and meaningful. It has also been nice to see friends from my college days, but the bond is not the same.
Your day with your friend and her family sounds great, it’s so healthy to be able to remember and laugh!
It felt as if the years have never passed! We had a great time together!
I’m so glad you were able to have a great visit!
Thank you, Lillyjo! ?
Oeillet Bengale as we get sleet off and on. I do love this scent and am very glad I have a back up set of travel sprays. It feels so vintage to me…spicy carnation-like scent that hangs around a nice length of time, especially compared to a lot of modern scents.
All basketball all the time here. The local boys’ HS team went to state and lost handily yesterday. But another school my husband went to is playing in the HS championship later. Then it’s all March Madness…my hometown team is still in there. Best moment of the tourney so far was the IN cheerleaders retrieving the stuck ball. It was wonderful.
It is basketball all the time in some rooms of my house, but not the rooms I am in
And basketball in some rooms of my house where I am sometimes also watching and sometimes not.
U smell so great
Really thrilled to see the news about Glannys and family. I think of her every day as I read the news.
YSL Cinema for a gray but springish day – the cherry trees are blossoming here which is always a wonderful harbinger of warmer weather and longer days. I bought a couple of small parsley plants to put in the garden now as the beginning of my gardening. Have a great weekend, everyone.
Hi SP. I was reading old articles on perfumeposse (as I haven’t been on there since Feb 2nd, apparently) and read about your suggestion for a snack. Had to try it immediately and it was totally delicious.
Ha – I ate it that day and several others as well. I think that was a March post wasn’t it? (March the person, not the month.) Hers are my favorite.
I was so happy to see the news about Glannys last night and this morning!
SOTD is, basically Bois de Violette, afte a misfire. I was inspired by Deva to rummage through my samples and find the box of SSS samples. Forest Walk had, sadly, evaporated, so I grabbed Voile de Violette and dabbed fairly liberally before discovering that it has gone off. I probably should have just scrubbed but instead tried to cover it with Bois de Violette, which has been mostly successful but there’s still an undercurrent of the off scent on one wrist.
Oh boo, I love Forest Walk. Sorry!
Popping in to say Hi to everyone
So glad to hear Glannys is OK. Such scary times. I was helping a co-worker to bring her parents from the Eastern Part of Ukraine to the e US – she visited Ukraine in January and it is scary how everything escalated. Parents are safe in US but her brother and sisters cannot leave which is super scary!!!
Testing a new NY based house, Clandestine Laboratories and color me impressed!!!! The owner is self trained and has been working on his current lineup for the last 8 years. Each and everyone of them are amazing and I have a hard time choosing a winner. I do believe work is up there with Kerosene, Slumberhouse and others self trained and passionate creators doing amazing things for indie and niche frags!!
Ha, I foolishly googled Clandestine Laboratories…does seem to me that the name is a bad idea! But here they are:
https://www.clandestinelaboratories.com/welcome
Several of them sound tempting! Did you try Novo Choc?
I did and robin I can send you my sample – I have an FB on the way. I would love to hear your thoughts. Also can send you Silver, and Film Noir my email is marianna_r in the yahoooooo land
Thank you Clarissa! I am over run with samples at the moment but it is really kind of you to offer
These sound really interesting. I’d like to try Film Noir, Novo Choc and maybe, Dharan. Did you try them all?
I did and it is hard to chose which one I like most. I prob would split them when split time comes up. Dharan is amazing and so are others!!
Great – I’ll keep an eye out.
Happy frags for me: there is something about Hiram Green’s Slowdive that makes me happy. It is so cheerful and sunny!!! The other one for me was Ostara, at least for the 5 minutes it stayed on my skin!!
5 minutes, ouch!
Good news about Glannys! It must have been terrifying for her. I’m wearing vintage DVF Tatiana this morning, acquired at a Portland swapathon from a very kind swapper. I wore this scent as a “signature” for at least five years and it’s still lovely, mostly white flowers on a woody musk base.
A dull weekend ahead, rain forecast for tomorrow. Today is laundry and I’m making shrimp curry for dinner.
I only vaguely remember it, but I know I wore it at some point.
Thank you for sharing the news about Glannys. I have worried every day.
I cannot seem to shake the dark cloud over my head right now about Ukraine. Nothing seems to be comforting. But then, perhaps nothing should feel comforting right now.
I hear you. These days I’ve been visiting a lot our main branch of the New York Public Library. It’s been my oasis. ?
I went to the library also today. And I put on some Indochine.
Such good news about Glannys. International day of whatever small happiness can be extracted from a grim situation like that.
I’m in a single spritz of (20-year-old?) Chanel No. 5 edt. Talk about happiness: there’s something immensely cheerful about that aldehydic zoom when it first hits your skin. I’ll never understand how people think it smells old-fashioned or even old-lady: it’s a timeless work of art, the Mona Lisa of perfumery.
I 100% agree with you about No.5.
I would not have agreed in my pre-perfumista days when I wore Le Male exclusively for years and years and years(1997-2008-ish!!)
Nobody I knew wore No.5,so I wasn’t that familiar with it,only it’s reputation as THE perfume of old money/old ladies/old worlds.
Boy was I wrong.
XO’s
Wonderful news about Glannys, her mom, and her cat! My cat says “hi”
Well actually he is saying “feed me” but we can pretend for a moment…
SOTD is SL Chergui for a gray and slightly drippy day. We are still hoping for some proper rain today.
Hope you got your proper rain pixel! You can have mine too!
That is such great news about Glannys (and her Mom and kitty cat); I have thought about her every day.
Going to shower with Calyx shower gel and apply some of the matching Exhilarating Fragrance as this is one of the happiest scents that I own. Tomorrow I am making spaghetti sauce for my inlaws (my fil requested this!). We haven’t seen them for months so it should be a nice get-together. I’m really looking forward to it!
Enjoy your visit!
You smell invigorating!
I was so pleased to read that Glannys and her family are safe. These are very scary times. Perfume in general makes me happy, so I could wear anything today, but I think I’ll go with The Hope from Thameen. The name seems appropriate.
Love that name. *Off to look up The Hope.*
SOTD: The Zara Cities dupe for Mimosa and Cardamom. Boldly Seoul, I think? Glad Glannys and her mom are making their way to Sweden.
Wishing everybody a lovely weekend.
Hope it a lovely weekend for you Amyitis!
In Intimus
Great news about our fellow NSTer
Beautiful weather today
Question ??♀️ Non perfume related
My milk ? Frother broke, I’m on a search for a new one. I mostly use plant-based milks. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations?
I use a little hand held frother I found on Amazon several years ago. It was less then $20 I do remember that. It doesn’t heat anything, just froths, but I’ve used it with both almond and oat milk and it works fine.
Zulay is the brand. They have a really cheap one under $10, mine has a double coil frother and was $17.
? thanks!
I am looking for one that heats the milk too..
I saw these- but I need a electronic one to heat the milk
I got a order of samples yesterday. So I’m wearing Jovay Fire at Will.
It’s nice. A nice vanilla scent. Nothing special, nothing interesting. Vanilla. I wish I could be more enthusiastic. I don’t dislike it, but I have plenty of vanilla mainstays and FAW isn’t cheap. I’ll finish out the sample and not give this one another thought.
And even though I don’t know her, I’m very happy to hear Glannys and her mom and cat are safe. I hope they find a peaceful place to land.
Thanks for the report, sounds like a pass. I already have lots of great vanillas.
Thank you for report, I was wondering abt it – LS was drumming up excitement on insta
Yay for the good news about Glannys! We had a wonderful sunny walk in Balboa park with the Papillon dog club, now lounging around the house contemplating a nap. I’m still celebrating spring in Dusita Cavatina.
A Papillion dog club must be a world of cuteness!
It was! We always draw lots of attention with our herd of cute little dogs.
Thank you, Robin and everyone who rooted for us. And the fact that you started a fundraiser… I am deeply moved and grateful.
It was a long, arduous journey via Slovakia, Czech Republic and Germany. My mom is in her late sixties and her health is not good, and my Kora is an indoor cat who was very stressed by the journey. Still, I felt quite lucky and privileged when I heard other people’s story. A lady we met at the Kyiv station who was going South to stay with her 90-year old mother, who would not leave her home despite shellings and bombings. A Roma woman from Ukraine and her numerous family who travelled to Germany hoping to get treatment for her schizophrenic son. A group of women from Kharkiv we met on the border. To get out of Kharkiv, they had spent hours on a train weeping, shivering from cold and not having a drop of water. And so many people on social media asking for help….
Now I am lying on the bed in Sweden, with my mother sleeping next to me and my kitty lying on my legs. We made it.
Rest. Just rest. So happy you are warm, safe and together.
I am so happy for you all
Your last words are what counts the most.I am glad you are safe Glannys.
I hope you have some perfume to remind you of better days as well.
XO’s??✌?
Sending hugs, peace and love, Glannys!
Oh Glannys, I am so glad to read this. I am so glad you and mom and kitty are safe. so glad.
Happy to hear from you! Please keep in touch although I know you have more important things on your mind at the moment. I think we, meaning this little blog spot, have been rooting for you and your family since day one. Hugs to you and your mom and gentle pats to your sweet little cat. I’m hoping we can all help you in some small way to make this huge daunting transition a little easier for you and your family. ❤️
Oh Glannys, you made it!! I’m so so happy for you and your family. We have all been rooting for you. It’s really wonderful to hear from you. I hope you can settle in and recover from your journey.
I’m so glad you and your family are safe now! Sending so much love and prayers.
This is just wonderful to read. I am so grateful for the safety of you, your mom and your kitty.
Hallelujah! So glad you all made it safely. Now I hope you can sleep and sleep and sleep, at least this weekend.
So glad to read this. I hope that you can find some peace now that you are safe.
So glad that the three of you are safe and warm.
This made my weekend! So glad and relieved to hear that the 3 of you are now safe in Sweden. Be well!
So glad you all made it to Sweden! Take care and get some rest now.
Great to hear you, your mom and the kitty made it to Sweden safely!
I’m so happy you all made it to safety! I hope you can rest and sleep for as long as you need to.
So glad you made it safely. Rest well!
Rest and recharge! You have done so well. I am so so so sorry about the nightmare. Sending hugs and hope from California. ???
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I’m so glad you are safe and resting with your mother and kitty.
‘We made it.’ – Your words made ‘my‘ day! I’m so relieved for all of you. Sending big ?? to you and your mom and loud purrs of delight from my three??? to Kora.
So glad you made it, Glannys, and I hope you can find some peace where you are now. Joining others in sending you hugs and prayers, for you and your people ???
Thanks for letting us know! So glad everyone is safe and resting. I hope all the others you met on your travels make it to a safe destination.
Glad you made it finally to safety.
I hope Sweden will feel welcoming to Glannys and that her relocation will go smoothly.
I did not have a chance to post yesterday so I’m still doing green with Jean-Louis Scherrer edp today.
One of my happiest perfumes is Cacharel Amor-Amor for its burst of citrus.
Dinner will be mint and pea soup.
Your dinner sounds delish. Any go to recipe for this soup?
Mine is just from the supermarket but you can find a good recipe here https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/peaandmintsoup_81285, it’s BBC Food
Thanks
I’m in Azemour les Oranges which is one of just a few perfumes I’ve brought with me to my friend’s (one-story) house where I’ll be staying two weeks while I continue to recover from surgery. I’m very lucky to have the family welcome me back again after I already stayed here for two weeks in February after my previous surgery. Plus one daughter is a nursing student and the other is studying to be a pastry chef, so I’m quite well taken care of here! I miss my cats but managed to hire what I think is a very good pet-sitting agency and they already sent me pictures from today’s visit! It comforts me. And although some might make light of the plight of animals and pets in Ukraine, I would personally feel so sad and stressed, and saw some news and photos of Glannys’s cute black kitty on Insta and am very very happy that she, Mom, and kitty all made it out safely to Sweden! It was quite an ordeal. Hard to imagine, really. My hostess’s daughter complimented me on my perfume!
I hope your road to recovery is smooth as well!.???
Hoping you’re back on your feet and independently moving forward with your kitties and friends to accompany you very soon.
Is is possible to set up a temporary sleep space in your downstairs area until you are fully recovered with good strength and mobility? Stairs are so difficult after any kind of lower body surgery or injury…
Yes, I did try that out when I was home for a week while my brother and his wife were here visiting. I did OK, but I have a constant fall risk due to my weak leg, and being alone just isn’t really reasonable for me now with such a risk. Thanks for the well wishes!
I hope you heal quickly. What wonderful friends!
How wonderful to have good friends! Hope your recovery goes by quickly.
I’m welcoming the return of spring to my fragrance wardrobe with beautifully sweet & floral wafts of Amouage Love Mimosa.

You smell good!
Your photo is just gorgeous!
The dog woke me earlier than I wanted, then after I was up, promptly jumped in the bed and tunneled under the covers. Yeesh! I gave her the eye and she just wagged her tail, sighed and snuggled down into the pillow.
I haven’t picked a SOTD just yet but am heavily leaning towards Kalemat because it’s so easy and soothing. Like a little lullaby in olfactory form….
Today is my Wednesday and I’m ready to start my countdown, albeit a bit early. Only three more weeks after this weekend….?
Lucky you! Maybe T-Rex wanted some breakfast?
T-Rex always wants breakfast. Or dinner. Or lunch. Or a snack…?
Yep, they don’t let you forget mealtime. ?
That body heat must have felt good to her! Oh, and you do smell good!
Thank you! I love this perfume and it’s a good thing because the bottle is huge. I think you sent me a sample of this moons ago and it was instant ?. Then a full bottle joined my life…so good!
She does like to have a warm spot snuggle into. ?
Yay for only 3 more weeks!!
Hi All,
It’s been a minute. I’m repainting my bedroom. So far I have the room prepped but haven’t managed any actual painting.
Has anyone here sold perfume online through a “Sell Your Unloved Items” website? I have a fairly expensive perfume that doesn’t work for me and decided to sell it. However, the website won’t let me post it without entering my credit card info. Why would they require that information to sell? I asked then and they said it was a verification of who I am. I fail to see how having someone’s credit card information authenticates who they are. People have their credit hacked all the time. I’m utterly confused by this policy. I don’t trust these sites to protect my information either. This is ridiculous. I’d appreciates any thoughts. Robin, please remove this if you feel it is inappropriate.
Scents of the day were several Including L’Eau, which I can’t decide if I like, Dragon Boat, and Luxury. It was a weird day.
Yeah, I’d say if you have reservations about the site, give it a strong pass. Is there any other avenue you can use to sell it? E-Bay seems popular with perfume people…
I wonder if they charge your credit card if a buyer has an issue? Why else would they want it?
Sounds sketchy to me. Did you look up BBB reviews?
Hi Lillyjo, No, I sidn’t but it’s well known seller site. I’m just irritated because I spent an hour pulling the posting together only to delete it.
I’ve never heard of the site and as Deva said, if your gut says you may be venturing into unknown / dangerous territory, I would stay away.
You do know it. It sort of rhymes with Bvlgari. Not sure if I should say the actual name. It begins with “M”
Ahh.. well I heard that if there is any problem that they don’t pay you and they take a good percentage.
I don’t really know first hand though.
Ah Mercari. I’ve never used them. I read through the terms & conditions but I never followed through. My initial read is that it gave the buyer a lot more leeway than I’m comfortable with.
I have sold and bought through Mecari with no problem
Have you tried facebook? I have sold a bunch of stuff on Eau My Swap. I avoid Mercari, Ebay, etc.
I haven’t. I’m not much of a facebook user but I guess that I should. Thanks for the suggestion and at least I wouldn’t have to worry about unscrupulous buyers as much.
I wore Fox in the Flowerbed today, both the body oil and perfume. It makes me happy just to smell it but I’m sad about how short lived it is, even layered. It was perfect to wear to a movie matinee this afternoon.
Wonderful news about Glannys and family and how awesome perfume people are.
That’s a pretty scent. I gave it to a dear friend in the oil format. I think she really likes it.
I have a dabber sample which I haven’t tried yet. Sometimes I view short-lived perfumes as a blessing in order to wear a second one with almost nil possibility of layering.
That’s a good point.
Yes, more time to wear more perfumes!
Hello, everyone!! Long time no write but I have been so busy. Also I do wear my perfume daily just don’t have the time to post as much.
Tonight post shower it is Maison Crivelli Santal Volcanique from my super cute travel spray. Will be buying a FB in the near future. The website markets it towards, well unisex maybe but describes it as so musculine… I don’t know I find it very unisex or feminine with this lovely “oooomph”. I am head over heals with that one.
I’m so curious about thus house. Particularly their iris scent. Have you tried it? Sounds like a FB is i. Your future.
I worked the day shift today. Yay me! I went with Shalimar edp. It’s cool and rainy. Other than that.. I got nothin.?
I will pick a happy perfume tomorrow.
Perfect scent for working on s rainy day!
Were we supposed to pick a happy perfume? I am bad at following instructions.
SOTD = Honore des Pres L❤️VE les carottes

In other news, I got my favorite cashier at Whole Foods today. When I loaded the belt, I grouped things so that when she bags them, there’s a logical order. She bagged the first set and then started to count the number of items inside the bag – 3x! I had to tell her that 3 of the items rang up as 1 “item” because the pricing was 3 to a pack. Had I not said anything I may still be there a few hours later!
I hope I’m wrong but now that we’ve loosened COVID restrictions, I fear that we’re .5 variant away from having some restrictions revived.
Ugh… I hope not. So many people are vaccinated now.
This will definitely help the hospitalization rate.
Keep an eye out for items scanning wrong. At my grocery store the computer has raised prices but the shelf tags haven’t all been changed yet. I had to have a number of my items changed at the register the other day. The cashier wasn’t happy.
I hear you. While Foods has extra savings for Prime members but the savings only show up at the end. So rather than holding up the line, I now check my receipt and address any discrepancy with customer service (although I don’t usually check for number of items).
Oh goodness, WHOLE Foods!
They need to drop the Covid variant fear – it’s going to be like the flu with new variants every year. Life goes on.
I’m with you. This new variant will be very telling given the rampant widespread infections happening in China, Hong Kong and South Korea, and Europe starting to see numbers jump, I really really hope we’re not 2 months behind a similar trajectory in the U.S. We know more about it now, so there’s that.
I just read an article that said numbers may be higher than reported because of positive home tests not reported. If people get sick at home, don’t end up in hospital and don’t report it, does it matter (to regular, non-healthcare folks)? It’s like that age old question about whether the falling tree makes a noise if there’s no one to hear it….
Overcast but fortunately not raining. Feeling cozy in Noir Exquis.
Ah, that is a very cozy scent and wish I’d bought some.
Yay Glannys!
Yay spring! Potted hyacinths at the grocery store and Soivohle Lilas et Jacinthe on my arm
Yay live performances! Went to the ballet yesterday to see Wizard of Oz. It was pretty packed but all audience members had to wear a mask and show proof of vaccination. It’s been years since I’ve seen a ballet
How wonderful about the ballet!
I miss live shows of any kind!
Oh how nice!!
Sometimes,like tonight,I like to have a real good look at my collection…what a dumb idea!!
I don’t know if I DO know when it got out of hand,but…it’s ridiculous.And still growing.Lol!!
Grateful for everything I have,grateful to be safe and have a place to enjoy it all.
Currently wafting 3 BIG ones which are No.19 edp,Bois d’Iris(VC&A) and L’Artisan Mure et Musc extreme…don’t ask how or why.Haha!
XO’s
That is indeed an interesting mix!
And see….this is why I try not to fall in love with anything new
I’m really glad I came by here to see the news about Glannys and her mum and cat! I wish them all the best! ?♥️
Such a lovely day here in Belgrade, but I am feeling so tired… Hope it’s just springtime lethargy ?
I wore Herba Fresca to greet Spring, but it’s all gone now, and for tonight I am thinking FM Vetiver Extraordinaire.
A little spring lethargy is not all bad…but hope you are back to normal tomorrow!
Love Vetiver Extraordinaire. You smell great.
Gabrielle Essence today. First day of spring and our weather decided to really cooperate. Bright sun, relatively balmy temperatures. Gorgeous day. Of course, we will have rain the next few days. I guess mud season has started. But, it basically means I survived my first Wisconsin winter! I deserve a pin or something. Like in the days of San Francisco Giants baseball at Candlestick. If you attended an extra-inning night game, you received a Croix de Candlestick button, with an icicle over the SF logo. Coveted badges of honor.
You must have liked my fragrance yesterday since you are wearing it today. It’s a nice spring fragrance. I am guessing the winter wasn’t too bad in Wisconsin this year as it was pretty mild with little snow in South Dakota. In the 70’s here today. Rain is coming this week, but we need the moisture.
I did…you get a mini enabler pin. I have no reference in the winter. Some said it was mild, another said it felt like a cold one. I had expected temps mostly below 10, which did happen. But there was a lot above that. It seemed mostly higher teens and 20s.
I’m in Ambra Aurea this Sunday evening. The weather is giving me whiplash. So far we’ve gone from low 70’s to windy, rain, then changing to snow for about 1 minute, back to rain, and now the sun is out. It’s my FriYAY! Woot! Woot! ?
This reminds me of T-Rex even though it’s a cat. I’m pretty sure my little cow dog is at least 25% meow…

In Diptyque Eau Lente in honor of UN French Language Day – A mon avis, c’est la plus belle langue du monde!
SotD Samsara Shine. I just looked on u-no-ware-Bay; since mine was purchased some few months ago, and smells fabulous, I think this vintage is worth a chance. If anyone, that is, is as curious about vintage scents as am I. I am all behind on comments but here’s hoping all had a good weekend.
Another great sunny holiday day. Tried out my e-bike today, because i had a repair of the control panel. Thankfully it works again, so i biked over the fields for an hour in glorious sunshine.
Todays scent was Azuree, dealers choice is : Give love to your decants and samples.
We wanted to bike the Neckar bikeway, but today my Covid app gave me a warning, so i don ´t want to stay overnight in a hotel and put. others at risk. My test today was negative, so i will test daily the next days. Hope i don ´t catch this again, the first time was awful.
