Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit and welcome to June! (It’s also World Milk Day and National Go Barefoot Day, and happy 85th to Morgan Freeman!) What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Hermès Eau de Pamplemousse Rose for what looks to be a warm day.
Reminder: on 6/3, for World Bicycle Day, wear something sporty (or just outdoorsy, or whatever 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 (but obviously sometimes fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: the Bunny rabbit riding bike Sticker is $3.00 at RedBubble.
Good morning and 🐰🐰🐰!
Sotd is ELdO Spice Must Flow. Oud is not listed but I get this oudy rose feel. Not very spicy on me, which I like.
Very very warm day today, thankfully I will be staying indoors. Planning to make double chocolate cookies studded with mini marshmallows.
Ack, save me a cookie!!!
Interesting, I also get an impression of oud in Spice Must Flow.
Rabbit 🐇 rabbit 🐇 rabbit 🐇
Coffee an English muffin and Chanel Paris Paris for a meeting filled Wednesday
Do you find Paris Paris powdery? I hope to sample soon….
Mmmm coffee and Paris-Venise for me. A great start to the day!
Yay—I rabbited today! Wearing Byredo Gypsy Water for a day of work plus getting ready for a weekend away. I need a long walk today— was stuck to my desk working for 10 hours yesterday.
10 hours, ouch! Hope you get out today springpansy.
Oof on the work – hope you get to take a few hours extra off to make up for it.
Regardless – you smell great! Love that one.
I hope you get a break and enjoy some time outside
Ten hours sounds unbearable! I hope that you can cut today short and get your walk in. And yay for a weekend away; enjoy!
Ugh. That was a LONG day for you yesterday!
Rabbit rabbit rabbit! Another weirdly cool-actually-cold day, 8°C, so I’m in Molinard Habanita, guaranteed to warm anybody up. I keep catching little whiffs of it and thinking, “Man, I smell good!”
You DO smell good!
Second that!
Same weather here – we were promised 23C and sun but it’s not happening.
Good morning y’all! I’m in PdN L’Eau Mixte for another hot day in Houston.
I have a traveling box of samples and decants that allo sent me last December, that I’m just now getting around to sending on to someone else. Life gets in the way. 😳 I’ve added some samples to beef it up. If you’re interested, drop me a line at nancys frags aaat geemayle dot calm.
Hot day in SE PA too, although better than yesterday when we were 90-something or another.
You smell great! I should pull out my summer PdNs.
The summery Nicolai’s are so good. 😊
Yep!
Traveling box has been claimed. 👍🏻
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! 🐇🐇🐇
Lavishly sprayed on Chanel No.19 Poudre.
Cloudy and in the lower 70’s todays. A big relief after the hellish mid 90’s yesterday.
Finishing my second cup of coffee and ready for a very busy rest of the day.
Happy Wednesday! 🌻
We’re expecting high 80s, but still beats yesterday! Have had 2 cups of black tea and now drinking Moroccan mint.
Have a great day pl67!
Thank you, Robin!
We only reached 66 degrees, but it was and is still very humid. It was a pleasant day!
We just took a lovely walk in a breezy 65, so we have now matched your earlier temps
Got up to 80-ish for me today. Now my weather apps are saying “on and off rain showers in the area”.
It has been raining on and off here since 8pm. We are expecting to be in the 80’s tomorrow. I hope the humidity goes down, because is very muggy and uncomfortable.
It was hot when I came out of work yesterday…surprisingly so. Changed into shorts as soon as I got home. Today with be cooler.
Comptoir SP Aloha Tiaré today. It’s not as lush and heady as Guerlain Terracotta – fresher. Not that anyone will smell my SOTD…I compete with bakery smells, to which I’ve become anosmic. Thankfully.
We have a new baker, who will be coming in early to help share that load. She’s from Ukraine. Has an aunt and uncle here, so was able to get a special visa after fleeing to Germany. She’s only been here a week. Her English is surprisingly good, but still rough. I’m in awe. A lot for a 21 year old to handle.
Seriously, imagine! At 18 I was so clueless. Glad she was able to get a visa.
Yes. It’s for two years. Which is a good amount of time. It’s so funny. She mostly has heard of New York. Asked me about Niagara Falls. Thought Boston was part of NY…I told her to never say that to a Boston person. It’s very amusing hearing what she knows of the US.
She probably knows more than most US peeps knew about Ukraine before the war though, right? I bet most people here couldn’t name 4 towns in Ukraine…
Undoubtedly. What I forgot to say is she “knows” NY because her absolute favorite TV show is “Friends.” She’s very smart and capable. It’ll be fun working with her.
Remembered my rabbits today!
Wearing Frau Tonis Linde Berlin to celebrate June and the coming of the linden blossoms. (Though I haven’t seen any evidence of them yet; it’s been a cool spring and everything’s late.)
Oh yum!
Wearing Angel Eau Croisiere and I’m wrapped in figgy goodness. The heat has broken here and we had a series of thunderstorms roll through this morning. I love them but poor Larry the cat is hiding in the closet, he’s scared of thunder.
Aw, poor kitty!
Yeah, Teflon kitty is not a fan of thunder either.
Totally forgot that today’s a new month until I came here. I’ve been unusually clumsy this morning too. Hmm. Anyway, it has been very humid here lately, so I examined my little collection for something on the dry side and came up with Prada Amber Pour Homme. Turns out it was an excellent choice. 💜
Love that one, you smell great SheriG!
The sun and warm temps we were promised didn’t materialize. Still in my fall/winter frags. Another round of Spell 125.
Boo!
We finally got our 1 day of sun for the week. Rain and clouds for the next 5 days!
I switched my shower gels to summer scents so today I used Linden. Now I’m commando because instead I have a small vase of Lily of the valley on my desk. That alone scents my whole home office. Later on I’ll choose a happy hour perfume.
Lucky you, I love lily of the valley–they remind me of my family home and my mom! Take a deep sniff for me!!
Love the idea of a happy hour perfume! I’m stealing that. 😜
Cuir Buluga by Guerlain. Hubby likes it. He’s making dirty martinis so it’s the least I can do. 😉
You smell fabulous!
You smell fabulous!
Who makes your linden shower gel?
Bles Dénédictines de Chantelle a French monastery that makes natural products. Sort of the French version of Santa Maria.
Thank you!
https://boutique.benedictines-chantelle.com/en/hair-body/46-93-shower-gel-linden-scent-sweetness.html
Better price than SMN, for sure (just checked, the witch hazel shower gel I like is now $55), although they have some catching up to do on the packaging.
Yeah it’s not very exciting but the price is very reasonable. I bought it at the little shop at the monastery which was very bare bones too.
I adore bare bones monastery shops…those are the best!
Knew it was a new month but forgot the rabbits…
Yesterday, I got a lot of stuff done. While my laundry was swishing, I crossed the streets to a hole in the wall Mexican place for lunch. 30 minutes later my brain, in flashing neon, told me “Deva, this is not going to end well.” And it didn’t! 😭
Still feel a flittering nausea at the periphery of my consciousness, so I’m staying away from perfume today. And coffee. And food. Just tea for me please. Plus, I think another gall stone was passed, hopefully completely. The Marge Simpson yellow is not a good look for me.
Oh no! You can have one of my extra set of 🐇.
Thanks. I’m starting off with a bang today. Just spilled my entire cup of tea all over…🙄
Oh, sorry you’re feeling rough, a few drops of mint essential oil in your tea might settle your stomach.
Oh no, so sorry Deva! Hope you are better by tomorrow.
I hope you are feeling a bit better, Deva!
Feel better soon, Deva!
Hope you are on the mend Deva!
Oh no. That’s awful. I hope you feel better and Mexican food hasn’t been ruined for good.
Aww – so sorry for the fail! My one event of (probable) food-borne illness in 1986 did not deter me from Mexican food at all. I eat out every week at our local.
Oh yuck! Nausea is the worst, especially if it hangs around.
Went to a live perfume event last night, pretty darned thrilling. It was in a tattoo parlour with the folks behind Piper& Perro, who had a talk and spritzfest. They’re the same folks who do Coal & Canary candles if that rings a bell.
Oh, and I forgot to put anything on this morning as I went into work quite early, so have put on the emergency Prada iris.
That sounds really cool. We’re you tempted to buy anything?
Maybe a travel size of Arid. Prices are not crazy for Luxury perfume.
Rabbit-ing in to start a new month….must get out to the grocery store and library today. Still getting used to driving without glasses (first time in 50 years!). Going with the last of the irises–Hiris for the win!
You smell beautiful! I’m getting to enjoy my neighbour’s irises this week.
Today was a good day for getting errands done.
I wore the vintage Eau de Givenchy which Robin wore not long ago and that reminded me that I have it, it’s a fresh light floral, not citrussy but it inevitably wore off, tonight I impulsively sprayed Dia which smells fine but I wanted something cosier, so I am in a copious amount of Franck Boclet Vanille which I call the poor man’s Dulcis in fundo.
Vintage Eau de Givenchy must be amazing! I went through a few bottles back in the day. I remember dousing myself repeatedly at a wedding, it’s such a great scent!
Glad you love it too, I had forgotten how floral and lovely it is.
Eau de Givenchy is definitely great. I wore it mid nineties.
It is refreshing even though very floral. You smelled terrific in the mid nineties then.
A three-fer day
😃Ah, yes, usually two is enough.
A rabbit AND a bike! Pretty impressive, Robin. Apparently we have a good view of Gemini in the evening sky and I was really taken by the fact that the light we see shining from the star Castor ( the second brightest in Gemini after Pollux, which is almost next to the moon at the moment) began its journey to earth in 1988! Feels like time travel. Trying to think of a 1988 perfume in my collection to wear but in the meantime going with Fresh Cream for milk day.
Boucheron, Knowing, Fahrenheit, Jazz, Eternity…all 1988 apparently
Oh I would have thought a few of those came out earlier.
My Mitsouko arrived last week. It might be the same vintage as my last bottle, or possibly a bit more blended/mellow. I am very pleased with it. I’m so glad you found it.
Such good news!
It is not always easy to find the right themed rabbit so I am very glad if it amused you
Here, few stars, many mosquitoes!
Good Girl Gone Bad
Volunteering at the library 📚
Which makes you a good girl doing good, right? Where is the perfume in librarian flats?
Always doing good at the library!
Ha! I am going to think about my collection in this way!
Ha, but I totally messed up the whole comment…I was referring to Good Girl, which is in a glass stiletto, and thinking why isn’t there a bottle shaped like a ballerina flat or something…but Good Girl Gone Bad is a totally different perfume so please ignore my whole brain freeze
Testing Rose & Cuir, and waffling on what I think about it. Getting some stagnant pond in there.
I tried so hard to love that one. Every time though.. instant headache. I’m not sure why.
Jean Claude Ellena’s perfumes often give me headaches. I blame it on his perfumery style : buckets of mass appealing molecules (I am not a fan)
I did not know this. Thanks!
It makes sense.
Ew. Stagnant pond is a big old NOPE for me!
The rain and wind woke me up a couple of times last night, it seems a bit calmer now as day breaks.
I’ve decided to wear a long time favourite today, Frederick Malle’s Iris Poudre.
Oh dear, I hate that! Hope you get a good sleep tonight.
Miller Harris Couer d’Ete for me today
How’s the new house coming along?
We have sofas, we’ve smudged using the sage that our realtor gave us at closing, we’ve soaked in our hot tub and dried off with the big fluffy towels that our realtor also included in our welcome gift. We have internet and have discovered a pretty good Thai restaurant a couple of blocks from our favorite dim sum place. Officially, we move on Tues. We’re still trying to determine who gets the nook next to the master bedroom…
All sounds excellent! (Except the part about deciding who gets the nook…)
Wearing Heure Exquise today. I’m halfway through this bottle and do have a backup.
All set then, spritz away!
That’s a great, green perfume!
I love that one, you smell great!
I am wearing Le Labo Rose body lotion, craving rose perfumes lately.
Any good new ones I should try ?
I don’t know, but you smell good!
Song of the Day: https://youtu.be/8Vp7TmTfVZI
It’s June, and it’s definitely summer now! Also, the first day of the Atlantic hurricane season. The muggies have stopped by to say “Hey” to me.
SOTD = Alaia EdP again.
Oh, and rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! My emojis are refusing to come out and play this afternoon. (mope)
Is it hurricane season already? I did not know. Fingers crossed, there’s already not much beach left at my local spot.
Yep, sad to say.
I’m always in awe of the scope of your music. 🤘
Heh, sometimes I cheat and pick a song I heard on the radio, or on Sirius XM. But I really liked Joe Satriani back in the day!
It was coolish muggies for me – what a difference from yesterday!
Definitely a drop in temp for me, but not coolish.
World Milk is too expensive day!
$3.89 a gallon but still cheaper than gas. Lol.
I got in a small debate with a lady in a line today over fuel costs. I quit talking about 2 minutes in once I realized she was only listening to herself. She just kept talking…
My sotd is Orchid Soliel so I’m smelling great and bonus I have excellent weather… and I remembered my rabbits 🐇🐇🐇🌞
Milk is $9.20 a gallon here!
Jeeze Louise that’s insane!
*swoons*
How does anyone live in NZ? Do you all make $200k per year?
This weather is perfect!🌞 Did you get storms overnight? It sprinkled here for about 30 seconds and that was it.
About 330 this morning. Hardly anything though.
You are definitely smelling great! I kind of wish I would have grabbed a bottle of that one before it disappeared. But I still have a manufacturer’s sample, so I guess I am not hurting too much, right?
I grabbed a 1oz at the last second about a year ago. I never spray more than 2 sprays because it can turn sickly sweet imo.
A sample should last a long time. I wish I would have grabbed Sahara Noir and the Pour Femme and Orchid Luminaire.
Lotta people wish they would have gotten Sahara Noir. That’s a big club!
I figure that Guerlain Terracotta is similar enough to Orchid Soleil. Afraid to do a side-by-side sniff off, though… that could knock a person over!
SOTD = Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic EDT
Lightly fresh citrus! Lovely!

We’re barely done with the Splitmeet and we now have more perfumes to tempt us!
So true re: Splitmeet! Lion is adorable!
This picture definitely says summer!🌞
You have a veritable zoo of perfume mascots!
Having just finished my vegetable garden, “rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” is NOT a good thought! Crawling around on the ground attaching hexwire to the deer fence – while bunnies were circling – gave me a very dim view of our cotton-tailed friends! However, they’ve had almost two weeks to test my defenses, so I think I am safe.
SotD from a generous NST’er Floraiku First Dream of the Year. An enjoyable and, to my nose fresh, scent for a hot day. I am trying to tune my nose to fresh scents. I have such a strong preference for “bombshell” style scents. Happy hump day!
When we had a serious container garden on the patio, we often had raids from the neighborhood squirrels, so I feel your pain! Glad to hear that your defenses against the bunnies seem to be holding.
