It’s Hump Day, New Beer’s Eve and Tartan Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in L'Artisan Parfumeur Drôle de Rose for the 1967 Jacques Brel song Fils de / Sons of.
Reminder: 4/8 is Jacques Brel’s birthday. If you like, tell us about a favorite Jacques Brel song and wear the fragrance to match. If you don't like, wear whatever you want.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2022, where I'll try (but obviously sometimes fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Bonus listen: Judy Collins sings Sons Of. You can also hear the Elly Stone version (my favorite) from Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, or hear Jacques Brel sing the original in French.

French houses, day 3: Jacques Fath Pour l’Homme, a cousin to the original Lagerfeld, warm woody amber but not nearly as sweet, thank god. Extremely sophisticated. I feel underdressed for it.
I often feel underdressed for my perfume.
I am almost always underdressed for my scent
Rainy and gloomy again…. Seems to be our forecast for the next week. And I’m hearing that local maple sugar is not having a good year.
I’m going to be in California Rêverie as continuing the wishful thinking theme.
Saw Belfast yesterday afternoon. Quite loved it. My husband enjoyed looking at Caitriona Balfe, while I enjoyed Jamie Dornan. A win win. LOL.
LOL
I will try and send some sun your way.?
I was captivated by Belfast – Judi Dench! Van Morrison! (usually I don’t like music welling up in movies to “guide our feelings” but this was different) and Jude Hill as Buddy just pulled every heart string I have.

Love the original clip of Everlasting Love
Such a great song.
Good morning.
Sotd is Lush Furze. Sweet vanilla coconut. Positively delish.
Currently drinking cinnamon latte, lightly sweetened.
You smell fantastic…wish I still had some Furze!
I will join you in Furze later. Have a great day
Today I’m wearing Incense Oud by Nicolai, from one of my newer discovery sets. This is less incense than it is herbal and aromatic, but then I love herbal and aromatic. It works for our warm Texas spring.
I am jealous of your warm Texas spring! We are having the worst Pennsylvania spring…
It hit 90 already yesterday with humidity. Don’t be envious.
I would take it!
Another one to go on my sample list! I’m not big on incense, except in rare instances, but your description sounds great. Thanks, PriscillaE!
Twins with Robin in Drole de Rose.
Heavy rain, windy and cold. Having my second cup of coffee with a mochi bread. Ready for the first big meeting in person since the pandemic started. Masks are optional from now on in the office. Life is back to normal, not yet for me.
Happy Tuesday, everyone! ?
Hey twin! Numbers were so good here for a few weeks that I’d given up the mask but now I’m right back in one
? We smell great!
Nobody gives reports about numbers here anymore, but with the new variant, I am again more cautious than usual. I have not ditched the mask indoors yet.
Maps here are fantastic, you can drill down to just about every county in the US; I track cases per 100,000 over past week in order to make masking decision (NOT suggesting anyone else do that, it’s just what I’m doing). That number is possibly becoming less accurate as fewer people test, but you can also track hospitalizations.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html
Thanks a lot for the info and the link, Robin. It will be extremely useful for me.
Good! I tried to find you the original article I used to decide how to interpret the numbers, but I can’t find it. What I remember is all the scientists they interviewed pretty much thought you should be masked while there were 10 cases or more per 100,000, and some thought you should mask until it was down to 5 cases per 100,000. But that article was written when there were more official tests than there are now. I think many people have moved to home testing.
I look also just at the direction…if the numbers are going up, and hospitalization numbers are rising, and of course you figure there’s a lag, then 5 cases is probably really already over 10 cases.
That article also made me feel better about being inconsistent; one doctor basically said I’ll take a bigger risk to eat in a restaurant because eating in restaurants is important to me, but I’ll wear a mask in a store because why not.
Numbers in MA are up 25%.
That’s insane!
And, in NY, my dear cousin’s baby has covid now.
How does a mom deal with a covid sick baby?
MA looks much worse than PA right now, but I suspect we will catch up.
So sorry to hear about your cousin…hope baby will recover quickly.
Does anyone know if Bois de Jasmin is down? For almost a week I have been getting the message “status ok” when trying to open the site.
pl67, I cannot remember who remarked the other day, Victoria has closed her site for now.
Thanks for the info Apsara!
Closed for now – she is getting stalked and her site’s contents had been copied over the years and she has not been getting credit.
Ugh, that’s even worse, dealing with a stalker.
Thanks for the info Hajusuuri. I was not aware of that. I hope the site is back in the future.
I’m definitely keeping a mask on when I go shopping for the foreseeable future.
Same here!
Masking most times. I cannot stand masking at work so I don’t.
I mask at work in common areas, not when I am at my desk. Most people there stopped wearing masks already.
I spilled vanilla extract on me while prepping breakfast, so that will be my SOTD.
A lovely floral wood.
Ha! Vanilla extract does smell lovely.
I’m often tempted to put some vanilla extract in a sprayer and wear it! Interested to hear about the longevity you get from it.
I’m in Molecule 01.
Song of the day:

Tonight’s the night! Headed to the Wolf Alice show. My college girl will take the bus home this afternoon after her classes, then we’ll get up tomorrow and I’ll drive her back in time for her 11 o’clock class. She won’t miss any classes and luckily she didn’t have any exams this week. The stars aligned. And the sun’s out.? Today will be a good day.?
Enjoy the show! It sounds indeed like a great day! ?
Thanks pl67!?
Have a great time!
Thanks lillyjo!?
Have the best time!!!
Have fun
Enjoy the concert with your college girl!
It’s chilly and rainy here, too. Seems like it has been forever since the sun shone. Wearing Nicolai Vanille Tonka for warmth and comfort. Mr Ringthing gets the stitches in his thumb taken out today and I’m nervous for him, I hope they numb it up well.
You smell really good
Chilly and rainy where I am at as well. But the rain is much needed. NJ was edging into drought with the dry March weather.
SotD Estee Super Cologne, for another fantasy of smoke-filled boite de nuit and M. Brel’s live performances. Thanks for the Judy Collins video – this is the Brel song I did not know I knew. My parents used to listen to a Judy Collins Best of album, and this song was on it.
I probably heard it first that way too…we had the Whales & Nightingales album in my house.
Seconding this. Love the song Robin! Thanks for sharing
I’m wearing the fbw DSH’s The Absinthe Drinkers. I still retain a romanticized notion of artists, writers and musicians from long ago gathered around a cozy fire in a bar and indulging in the ritual that accompanies drinking absinthe. On this wet, chilly day I’d like to go back in time and drop in and see what the Green Fairy gets up to!
And this! – Absinthe: The French Album was Almond’s sequel to the Jacques album, his tribute to the music of Jacques Brel.
Oh yes, i forgot about this Marc Almond album, also a great one. But i may be biased, i am a BIG fan, even flew to London for a concert ten years ago.
I have to admit that until this week, I wasn’t familiar with Marc Almond. I’m very happy to have been introduced to his music! Lucky you to have seen him in concert!
There’s a fabulous scene in Coppola’s movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula where the rather dandyish Dracula, played by Gary Oldman, takes Mina (Winona Ryder) to an absinthe parlor and there are beautiful shots of her looking down into the green reflections in her glass… so wonderfully shot. I actually love almost that whole movie with the exception of the rather gratuitously updated ending (not true to Bram Stoker in the slightest).
Oh yes, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you wrote! Thanks for the reminder!
second cousins!
Ooh fun, I see what you mean!
Still at mom & dad’s house, with disastrous internet coverage. His wifi doesn’t work worth a darn. My SOTD is ALOF Mad3 in Heaven. Really looking forward to being back on the road tomorrow.
Sorry for the crappy wifi, and safe travels tomorrow!
Jo Malone Poppy & Barley
CP points: I think poppy might be the national flower of Belgium, birth place of Jacques Brel
Good information !! I may wear it again on Friday
SOTD is Kilian L’Heure Verte, just to confirm that I do, in fact, like a licorice note after yesterday’s not-so-great encounter with one. It’s still a tad too chilly for LHV, but it is so good I don’t care. Mathiew Nardin is behind so many of my favorites. Would it be weird to send him fan mail?
Drinking a Nepali tea that I got as a sample in my last tea order and wow is it good! I’ve never had tea from that region before (that I know of); now I have some exploring to do.
He could be having a bad day and a nice message might turn it around!
What was yesterday’s licorice?
Tom Ford Italian Cypress. Licorice wasn’t among the listed notes, but to my nose there was a licorice-y thing happening with the wood note, and not in a good way. LHV has made everything right again.
Thanks, I’ve never tried that one.
Wearing DSH’s Colorado as a stretch for pulling out the spring and summery scents, but it smells like green things growing in the mountains, so it works. And smells great. Had a small success at work – got something fixed that has been broken for a while, so my day and week are looking up! In spite of the cold rain… some spring we are having here…
House twins!
I really am quite a fan of her work.
Ditto ?
Made another Sephora run today for a bottle of Chanel Chance. The spring and fall sales at Sephora are great times to nab full bottles of Chanel perfumes, I will admit. Wearing no 5 eau Premiere today.
Also in No. 5 – a friend gave me her grandmother’s wee bottle of parfum, which was not quite used up.
I love stories of when friends and relatives understand one’s love of perfume and perfume bottles!! How wonderful you will get to appreciate those few drops.
Thanks for mentioning Sephora. That reminded me I ought to get more of the hair products I use while the sale is going on.
SOTD is Shalimar MVP. It’s like Valium for my nose!
Caution: Rollercoaster Rant below!
Well, yesterday started out as a very irritating and annoying day. From the Rx issue, it carried over to the pharmacy. I know better than to just go pick up a prescription, so I called to make sure it was ready first. “It’s ready!” Went to pick it up 3 hours later. “It’s not ready.” Finally, after waiting 20 minutes, it was ready. THEN, for some unknown reason, this pharmacy makes you wait all over again so the pharmacist can talk to you about your prescriptions, even though I’ve gotten them filled there MANY times before. Every. Single. Time. I have to wait for the pharmacist. Even for my dogs thyroid medication, it’s like the inquisition…”what kind of dog do you have?” “How big is your dog?” “Are these for your dog or for you?” Holy Mary Mother of God, I kid you not. So, being a bit snippy by that time, I asked WHY I had to go through 20 questions every single time I picked up an Rx because I was beginning to feel harassed (actually, I was feeling harassed by early morning and this was late afternoon)? These are refills and I (and my dog, too) have been on these same Rx’s for YEARS. She got snippy back and tossed the prescriptions across the counter at me, saying she has to do what “the computer tells me to do.” I was tempted to tell her “I hope your computer tells you to jump off a bridge!” but that would really be crossing a line, even for me who was blessed with a hole-y filter. In my head, I was envisioning myself being escorted out by the police if I let my mouth go, and then who would take of my baby T-Rex? I zipped it and walked away with my prescriptions clutched to my bosom.
When annoyed I do something to cheer myself up, so I went and had a very healthy salad with grilled chicken and raspberry vinaigrette. It was delish! To keep the world in balance, I had a chocolate ice cream after. I felt more on an even keel and thought “I need a new lipstick!” No, I do not. Found a matte lipstick that I’ve been wanting to try and that the sensible me had kept talking the “gimme” me out of. I snapped up a very bright, spring color called Fleur. It’s very cheerful! When I got back to the van, I pulled down the visor mirror to give it a whirl and realized I had chocolate all over my face. Yep, just like a 2 year old. I walked all over the store like that. Really, I’m a sad wreck of a human being at times.
BUT, the lipstick is fab and I’m glad I bought it. THEN, since the lipstick was turning things around, I went for a ride on the positive upswing side of life! I made reservations at a gathering in Washington at the end of the month. A bunch of people who have the brand of camper I just put a down payment on are getting together and a few have offered me tours of the exact model I chose. I have been in a camper by this maker before, but not the exact model I chose, so I’m excited to see it and meet people. The positive vibe continued as I was able to make a ferry reservation to get to the campground and a fellow camping couple will be on the same ferry so that should be fun! Then I remembered my ferry ride to Ocracoke in 2017 when I was on my very first contract. Hair raising! (The ferry ride, not the contract). I did a bit of research on this ferry ride and found this:
https://youtu.be/6XSKJTWEhFg
If it’s the LEAST bit windy or stormy, I’m not boarding. According to the comments, mostly from locals who ride this route all the time, this is one of the most difficult crossings in the entire washington ferry system. Even on calm, good weather days, this particular body of water has tremendously strong rip tides and currents and a very difficult approach and landing. I’m putting T-Rex in her life jacket as a precaution, no joke. I was beginning to feel like the pendulum was swinging back the other direction, so I decided to go to bed.
Then I woke up today with an ocular migraine. ?
I think I need an intervention…?
Wow, i would also not like to ride on this ferry in a storm….
Right?! I think I’m made of pretty strong stuff, but still….
Your rollercoaster sounds like mine! That’s very exciting about your new camper. Hope all goes well for your trip/ferry ride.
Thank you! I’ve just been so irritable lately. This is a red flag for me and means I need some time off. Looking forward to the camper but trying to figure out how I’m going to juggle the “move” from the van to a truck and small 5th wheel…? Oh, did I mention I’ve never towed a single thing before?! ?
I have absolutely walked around a large mall with red lipstick smeared on my face, including – somehow – on my nose.
Why does no one say anything!?
Also, you should now watch the IT Crowd 3rd Episode. And probably episodes 1 and 2 and all the ones after that, but episode 3 is going to make you laugh at your chocolate predicament and not feel alone
Happy to know I’m not alone! And red lipstick is so…noticeable! I will have to google that episode. I prefer to laugh, if at all possible! ?
Look on the bright side …At least you didn’t have raspberry vinaigrette on the back of your pants
Oh, yes, that would have been worse. ?
I need this lipstick you speak of. What brand?
It’s just a drug store brand (Milani) but I have heard great things about their matte formula, which I generally don’t like because I feel my lips look crusty and gross. It is a very nice formula, I’m happy to say. And the color (fleur) is a bright spring pink leaning towards magenta. ?
That was some kind of day. Hoping today will be calmer and that you can shake off the migraine.
Thanks, first world problems. But, I’m usually not so irritable and tend to just shrug things off. As mentioned, it’s a red flag for me that means I need some down time.
What a wild one!
Rxs for our fur/feather babies can be ridiculous. They always ask for my girl’s birthday, which they log in every pet as January 1st. ??? I always correct them.??? She’s always in the car and I show her to them.
What’s the difference between what you have now and your new wheels? Being nosy.
Currently in a camper-van. New rig will be a small 5th wheel towed by a truck.
I’ll need to check this out. I’m not that bright.
Also, my favorite music venue offers trailor parking for weekends and I had no clue. That would be fun!
What a day that was. I had to Google your lippie; that’s a gorgeous color! Enjoy.
That ferry is a definite no. I’ve been whalewatching off the BC coast and was so nauseous the whole time. The water then was nothing like in the video.
And as for having chocolate on your face; well I do recall when we went out for breakfast with a bunch of people and I managed to in some syrup or something on the bench. Yup, I walked around like that until I noticed it hours later. No one said anything to me. And I had light blue pants on!
Oh my, sorry about your syrup escapades! Being sea sick is absolutely the worst. Totally ruins what could have otherwise been a wonderful time… Been there and done that. ?
Yeek! That ferry footage was all kinds of NOPE! I’ve had the misfortune of being seasick once, and that was quite enough. I’m very thankful I did not hurl.
I know. Hoping for a (very) calm day. The ride is less than an hour but I guess that’s long enough to get whopping case of the heaves. Or possibly die when the ferry rolls over. Just like the titanic, but no ice to be seen anywhere…?
You are amazing! I loved how you turned an awful day into such a positive one.
And I love how your roller coaster rant ended with a video of a roller coaster ferry ride!
It’s all about the lipstick, guuurl! ?
Scent twins today- I also find gorgeous vanillas therapeutic!
That pharmacy moment sounds just like the lovely ? “computer says noo…” attitude you tend to get in health care and other public institutions. Watch parody, it’s hilarious (just a bit too real)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sX6hMhL1YsQ
Why is there no common sense anymore?
Omg! That is PRICELESS! ?
Chypre Mousse today, because it was warming up a bit and looked like rain. Perfect weather for this scent. Took a nice long evening walk and saw lots of rabbits.
Who doesn’t love the scent of Eau de Crypt? ? I need to wear mine soon, it’s been a hot minute since I last spritzed it. While I really enjoy it, it requires commitment because it lasts FOREVER on me. I can smell it on my clothes even after laundering them…
https://youtu.be/bRCBpMmhrgg
It’s been raining like the song chosen today. Can’t wait for the lilacs to bloom.
Spent the day in Cacharel Eden, the odd green but tonight I am in TF Noir Extrême.
Nice spotting. Hope you don’t have to wait long for the lilacs.
? Thank you, not long now until they bloom across the street.
Happy Wednesday! I’m in Widian by Aj Arabia Black V. If you haven’t sniffed this one, just head over to your nearest LUSH, and you’ve got it.
I’m in my first in-person all-hands in well over two years. Wow, these go by much faster when I’m at my computer, either working or faffing about. Somehow there is still…half an hour to go?! Oof.
Oh wow, maybe this is just in CA?
I don’t understand what you were doing but it’s over now, right?
Oh it was just an all-employee meeting clarifying past successes/shortcomings and upcoming goals! It is over now
I’ve sat through a bunch of these during the pandemic on the computer, but they’re more boring in person!
I can believe it!
House twins Robin! Am L’Artisan Safran Troublant.
Whenever I wear this I always think of my biggest missed perfume opportuity. I could have bought a bottle of Jour de Fete – on sale! – back in 2011 or 2012 and decided not to. At this point I don’t even know if I would still like it. Doesn’t matter, je regrette.
I don’t know JdF, but Safran Troublant is one of my favorites so I don’t think you should regret it!
I’m in Vol de Nuit edt today.
Turns out my comfort scent these days is anything with neroli. Riding turbulent waves, the scent of Cap Neroli is just the thing for it.
?
OF, I’m sending you hugs and wishes for easier days ahead.
Sending peaceful vibes your way!
? Turbulent waves are hopefully going to become peaceful waters.
Grasping at CP straws in Brussels Sprouted ( from a sample that I don’t wear often…ever). I will try harder tomorrow.
Ha! I think it’s perfect!
2nd, I think it wins the day for sure.
Sipping tea and feeling really exhausted today. Though I did get plenty of sleep.
This is turning into a Chanel week, 1957 today. Perfect for this weather.
non-perfume related question. Has anyone ever tried Re-nutriv by Estée Lauder ? I got a sample when I bought my ANR and I am not sure if I should skip it-and pass it on to someone-or see if this is worth sampling?
Sorry you’re not feeling well. Chanel to the rescue!
If your sample is a moisturizer, I’ve used mine as an “eraser” to clean up fallout from eyeshadow (with a q-tip). Plus it adds a bit of extra moisture under my eyes.
Yes its a moisturizer and I think an eye serum or something like that. Besides ANR and another Estée product I haven’t really used anything from this high end line!
I used Re-nutriv and loved it until I started using La Mer. I still use ANR, so there’s that.
Great. I will not toss the samples then.
I had a rough night of sleep with a stuffed up nose (humidity and allergies, I’m guessing), so I needed something easy on the sinuses. I ended up going with Bee’s Bliss, which was the perfect choice. Easy to wear honeyed floral that’s hitting the spot on this sunny day.
Yesterday, I evaluated ELDO Jasmin et Cigarette and decided to keep the decant in my collection. Also tried my Etro Royal Pavillon decant last night, and it’s also a keeper. Spicy floral that reminds me of Boucheron and Lush Sikkim Girls.
My boyfriend left for another work trip today but will be back Friday night. At least this one is in CA so the same time zone. I have plans with a friend tomorrow night to go out for our combined birthday dinner (hers is Friday and mine is Monday). I’m glad it’s tomorrow and not tonight since I’m not feeling great between the sinuses and a pain that’s set into the left side of my neck and shoulder. Must do some yoga and stretching for it later.
Happy early birthday, and feel better!
Thanks! I’m feeling mostly better now.
Hope you sleep better tonight and have a lovely birthday dinner!
Thanks, Robin!
CdG Black today. Why do I keep searching for the perfect incense when clearly this is it?
Watched four episodes of Julia last night on HBO.
Arm still sore from booster but zero side effects.
Gosh, I remember watching her on PBS years ago! Sad to say, such a personality probably wouldn’t fly today on TV. She followed the Frugal Gourmet and the Victory Garden on Saturdays (or possibly Sunday). My parents were big fans of PBS and we watched ALL the shows.
this is a show about her show. its rather delightful.
Oh, I saw the trailer for that! Glad it is good, will put it on my list.
Racing by to say good morning, and I’m continuing my French theme with Le Galion’s Sortilège.
Good morning, hours later
I am wearing Amouage Gold Man today, I was looking in the sample bag for something rich and I found it!
Yes you did!
Chipmunk again!
I brought my sweet girl to the vet yesterday. Unrelated to dying. The vet is honest and would tell me it is time. After the vet left, her new tech started going full ‘put her down’ mode, we can be selfish, put yourself in her shoes.
I braved a local health store and proceeded to get lectured by a customer there. Telling me she is so sick, what she should eat, HER dogs only takes herbs and tinctures so THEY are healthy. She instructed me to go to my friend’s pet store. I was in shock.
I’ve tried everything.
It is when I hold her, she has great difficulty holding her neck up. I know she isn’t well. Do random strangers have this right to tell me when?
I’ve heard these remarks for over 2 years, since arthritis kicked in. It is closer now, so it really hurts.
Not remaining quiet again.
People can be so incredibly thoughtless and hurtful. No one has spent more time and energy thinking about the well-being of your dog than you. You know your dog better than anyone, and love it more than anyone else does. You are the expert in this situation. Trust yourself and know you really are doing your best. Random strangers know nothing of the situation. Sending you a big hug.
Thank you. I was a mess last night. I need that hug.
I would have flown off the handle and told those people to eff off, or something along those lines. I have never encountered a vet tech that rude and clueless, and I sincerely hope I never do.
Riled up on your behalf! ?
I was in utter shock.
I’m prepared. Mr. AP does not care for my attitude towards people like that. He is cranky at home.
Sending you lots of sympathetic hugs! I’m always shocked at how some people are thoughtless and think they know best AND feel the need to butt in.
Thank you so much! Exactly how I felt, shocked. It was brutal and hurtful.
I’m so sorry you are going through that! Pets are family, and nobody would dare to say such things to a passing stranger in any other circumstance. What do they know?
Thank you. Family. I couldn’t wrap my head around how they felt it was ok to talk like that.
AnniePerfumes… people like to hear themselves talk and make themselves feel superior in anyway they can.
This is my non-expert expert opinion of course.
Hugs to you and continued well wishes to your pup.
You know your dog best! Buzz off people!
Laundry day today for me. Getting a much-procrastinated load done. However, the smoker was a no-go this morning due to heavy rain. We shall see if tomorrow’s weather is more cooperative.
SOTD = still in ELdO’s 500 Years. I had an “Aha!” moment with this one, and now I need to sniff it and Guerlain’s Santal Pao Rosa together sometime. There might be a resemblance between these two. ?
Does Spooky prefer you putting off laundry day? My belated kitty loved my dirty laundry.
Neither Spooky nor Teflon kitty show any interest in the dirty laundry. Sometimes they actively avoid it, especially if it is something that they dirtied!
I procrastinated b/c I really wasn’t feeling it. Today’s rainy weather was an incentive for me to “Get ‘er done!”
Good for you for accomplishing something!
My kitty loved all things stinky.
None of the current cats I have are skank connoisseurs. One of the previous bunch of cats liked huffing our shoes after we had been wearing them all day. I thought that was rather strange.
Rain twins! I will be doing laundry tomorrow.
It’s supposed to rain more tomorrow here. And I have plenty of laundry to do still.
I just do laundry pretty much every Sunday even though I can technically go a month without doing so. That said, that would be like not taking a shower everyday.
Today’s load was a Laundry Imperative! Important things would have run out had I not gotten things in gear.
Zipping by to say I’m in New York Intense today.
I’m moving some plants and quite a few bottles of my perfume stash to the new place today. We’re expecting a heat wave tomorrow (already warm today), and I’m hoping I will find some cool and dark spots in the new home for my perfume!
Good luck with moving! Crossing fingers you find the best spots for your perfumes.
Of course, I’d love to know which ones you brought over.
Maybe get a cooler for perfume transport and storage?
Commando after trying MK Sparkling Blush and eck lol. Looking at this pistachio coconut fudge recipe and wanting to try it. Looks so yummy.
I am not a huge fan of fudge but pistachio coconut does sound really good!
Still getting the last whispers of Shalimar MVP. I needed a perfume hug this morning and the dry down of this is gloriously resinous, I actually get more benzoin than vanilla. Now I wonder what else to spray … probably another gourmand sweet perfume which is my usual choice for bed.
I usually go gourmand at night, too.
Gold, by Commodity, is a favorite. Its almost identical to the original Organza Indecence.
SOTD is Le Labo Rose 31?
Yum!
Sotd is Volutes, inspired by hajusuuri
Yay and of course, you smell wonderful!
Thank you!
Sotd was Coco Noir.
It’s been a long day!
Yes, today has been a long one.
At least we have perfume for comfort and relaxation.
You smell nice and yes, it’s been a loooong day!
SOTD = Gallivant Bukhara
I am doing iris week and Bukhara is an excellent representation.

My cable internet finally worked. I don’t understand what “they” did but I ended up having to call Netgear. I hope it sticks this time!
Someone finally flipped the right switch? (kidding/not kidding)
Maybe ?. I got the exact same model of router / modem and did not have to jump through these hoops!
