It's Tuesday and World Rose Day (one of them, anyway). Birthdays: Charles Dickens, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Sinclair Lewis, Eubie Blake. What fragrance are you wearing?
I went with Maria Candida Gentile Elephant & Roses. Tea this morning is Kusmi Tsarevna.
Reminder: on 2/10, wear a fragrance with rose, if you have one. (This is a repeat from 2016).
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2023, where I'll try (but obviously sometimes fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: top image is the Marie-Antoinette Pink & Gold Teapot ("Hand-painted with 24 ct gold, this teapot is adorned with a delicate handmade rose on the cover and can be paired with matching accessories"), $730 at Villari.
Rose 🌹 Prick
Happy birthday to Dickens- the library last year acquired Dicken’s glasses and they were in display during the holidays.
The coffee shop yesterday was a hit, I went back this morning and brought my son to try some of their pastries.
That coffee shop looked cool 😎
Were you able to connect with Sarah?
Going to the bookstore today. My stepdaughter reads a lot of nonfiction and she really did enjoy Spare. I may have to breakdown and get it.
The coffee is really good too so that is a bonus.
I have a Malle store close by..
I tried POAL yesterday
Did you like POAL?
Like.. I LOVED 🥰 it
It is great isn’t it?
Yes
Report back if you read Spare, or buy Spare or any other books you purchase
I will.
How cool to have his glasses! I don’t really know why it’s cool, but it is.
Robin-they are really cool actually. The are the type that sit on the bridge of your nose, they fold in half and fit into a small leather case! NYPL has many interesting holdings for Dickens.
I would love to have a pair like that, actually!
I thought that POAL would be my first FM perfume. Then Superstitious came along…
Still have POAL on my wishlist.
There are other FM on my list too… the wishlist gets bigger and bigger
Well I have few roses perfumes. One is terribly obnoxious with sillage 8 miles wide. So having woke up in the night with a blaring headache I decided on the ancient and dwindling sample of Chanel 22. Here is what the Chanel site says —
“Created in 1922, this seductive scent is a light variation of the legendary N°5 fragrance developed a year earlier by Gabrielle Chanel and Ernest Beaux, the first Director of CHANEL Fragrance.
Delicately fashioned with a smooth, tender and powdery accord of tuberose, rose and orange blossom, N°22 resonates with an absolute femininity.”
The tuberose and orange blossom must be faint or have flown off over the years of sitting in my bottle because I usually dislike those in any discernible amount of those but this is LOVELY. I always think the next exclusive I buy will be Bois de Isle but this is really nice.
Tuberose, rose and orange blossom are a great combo. I hope your head is feeling better!
thanks
No 22 is a great perfume.
Have not tried that Chanel, but it sounds lovely.
Agree with Kris, it does sound lovely.
Etat Libre d’Orange Eau de Protection, one of those inky teeth-and-claws roses I love.
One of my favorite roses,hopefully I can wear mine this week as well!🌹🌹✌🏻
I am wearing that this week sometime too. You smell great!
You smell fabulous!
I keep forgetting about this one. I want to buy it just to keep it by the door and threaten to spray intruders! Lol
Going to try my sample of this sometime this week — looking forward to it!
Lots of fans! I’ll be wearing it this week also.
You smell like you’re ready for anything. ⚔️
SOTD is Chanel Egoiste, but the vintage early 90s version. I find it much more rose forward than the current formulation, as well as a creamier, more prominent sandalwood dry down. Delicious stuff.
If anybody is curious, here’s a useful article by Raiders of the Lost Scent on identifying vintage versions that I used: http://raidersofthelostscent.blogspot.com/2015/04/chanel-egoiste.html. Ebay prices are high as usual, but affordable bottles do pop up every now and again.
I like that blog for info on vintage Samsara too.
Such a good resource! Samsara is next on my list of vintage explorations, I’ve been keeping an eye out for bottles on ebay.
You smell great, I have a bottle of vintage Egoiste as well, it’s my favorite masculine I think, along with Angel Men.
Thank you! I do love it. I haven’t had a chance to smell the A*Men series, is your favorite the original one?
I love Raiders of the Lost Scent, pfsh! *S0* much research about vintage, which is my special love in the world of perfume.
It’s such a good resource! I hope ROTLS never goes away. Vintage perfumes are so fun to dive into, I can’t get enough of it. Always fun to obsess over a new vintage love, as frustrating as it can get if they are particularly rare 😂
I’m wearing Pruning Shears from Demeter. Cheap as chips, but it really works. The original is listed as being by Francis Kurkdjian, but unfortunately the Demeter website says that it has been reformulated.
An oldie but goodie!
Oh, but did not read carefully and did not know it was reformulated. Sounds like you still like it though!
I am wearing the original version, but I do have a half ounce bottle of the new version that I haven’t tried yet. I may compare them on the weekend.
Gotcha.
Happy Tuesday!
SOTD!
TDC Rose Poivreè.My “potpourri rose”.I love the dense earthy almost wilted roses vibe from this one.Can you believe it was launched 23 years ago?Crazy!
In other news,I received my Splendiris today.Interesting take on Iris and definitely has its place in my iris stash.Violets do play nicely with iris methinks!
You smell wonderful! I have an FB of this and somehow forgot to put it on the list I made yesterday. How did I miss it? Thanks for the reminder.
I love TDC Bois d’Iris so much that I also tend to forget I actually have this gorgeous rose as well!
Underrated pretty gem!🌹🌹
I love Splendiris.
I have not tried your scent of the day, but it sounds divine.
Think I am going to breakdown and get Spare. My stepdaughter and a friend of mine really liked it.
It’s definitely a pretty rose!(my sotd) and Splendiris is gorgeous.
I’m yet to start with Spare,hopefully this weekend!
🌹✌🏻
Dear JB-
I just wanted to let you know that yesterday I tried POAL and I hope you can now have a high regard for me as a perfumista again.
love LTSG
Hahahaha!!
I’ve never doubted your Platinum-perfumista-card for one second!
Thoughts on POAL?
🌹😉✌🏻💜
….I purchased a large sample size. Donatella forgives
Donatella is proud!(and Yay!!)We are happy,right Perfumelover67?😉✌🏻😁🌹
It was just..wow! I mean…I was wow wow wowed
I don’t know why,but it makes me superhappy that you also enjoyed POAL!Haha!Kindred spirits in perfume!🌹✌🏻💜
I can’t believe I haven’t tried this before
Wearing Keiko Mecheri Attar de Roses. A beauty that was sadly discontinued. One more wear from my decant and it is gone. I will miss it greatly, even though I forgot to reach for it more often.
Happy Tuesday! 🌹
I loved that one, too. You smell great!
Thank you! 😊
Better to wear the decant than have it evaporate!
I sprayed on whatever was left, after I arrived home. Thunked! 😫
The aesthete part of my brain lurves that teapot, the ascetic part is appalled. Go figure.
Currently wafting Tauer’s PHI and loving it. It’s been a while since I wore this.
Happy Tuesday!
Waft northwards please! I love PHI.
I love Phi and saving up for a bottle.
It also comes in all pink. I do not want either of them (luckily, given the price) but they make a pretty picture!
PHI has my heart!😁🌹
There’s just something primally appealing about shiny shiny gold, isn’t there?
A few years ago, the large Greek Orthodox cathedral near my house added a huge new tower with a gold dome on top. It must truly be gold leaf on there because there’s certain times of the day when I am driving down that street and the sun glints off it and it’s so darn shiny and gorgeous! Sadly, I can never manage to get a good photo of it because I’d have to dash into traffic on a busy street and it’s probably not a good idea given my cane and my limp.
I think I know the church you’re talking about – the location of the Greekfest every year? I haven’t gone in a long time.
Because pyramus mentioned it recently, sought out my vintage Joy edt splash. Purchased at an estate sale, suspect it’s even older than a 1980s formulation. It’s quite a sumptuous rose/jasmine, only requiring a judicious application. Yesterday I walked by the property that had the estate sale. That house was torn down several years ago. The family who purchased the lot turned it into a community vegetable garden, but they in turn sold it and now a new house is going up. Ch ch changes….
Vintge Joy envy! Hearing it was to be discontinued, I made the huge mistake a couple of years ago of buying a new bottle, and it was a scrubber.
SOTD is Montale Rose Elixir.
Smells almost just like the original Miss Dior Cheri.
Oops. Cherie.
I have one Montale Roses musk and I really adore it
I’m in D’zing! I love this fragrance, and it’s probably my favourite bottle, too. I’ve said this before but I’ll repeat myself-I loved the charm of the original L’artisan bottles, with their cheerful labels. I would buy this scent regardless but since it has a lady riding a tiger it pleases me even more
Dzing! Is such an amazing scent. I love it. Sadly, I have the new Darth Vader bottle instead of the tiger lady version. (But that bottle is better than no bottle.)
You smell great!
I agree – the fact that we have D’zing! at all is fantastic, and thank you
So fabulous!
Thank you
Very happy today – my mom was discharged from the hospital last night and is happy as a clam back at home. I’m commando right now because she asked me to go to Lush to get her a bath bomb for a treat, and I’m planning a wee sniff-fest at the mall.
I know there are several yoga with Adrienne fans here. Thanks for putting her on my radar – I’ve been doing one or two of her videos each day while here and it’s really helped to center me.
So glad to hear your mother is back home! Have fun at Lush.
Have fun at Lush and glad Mom is OK!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌹
So happy for you and your mom😊
Wonderful news all around! 😀
Oh yay! Happy to hear your mom was discharged. I just picked up a bath bomb for my dh over the weekend, they have some new ones with magnesium.
Adrienne (and Benji!) are such a good vibe.☺️
Happy to hear your Mother is back home and wanting a nice bath! Let us know about your mall sniff-fest – what’s the latest and greatest, LOL? I’d love to do one of those, but alas, the mall that offers such a thing is about a 3 hour round-trip drive.
I got to the mall too early for Saks to be open, so I perused the perfumes at Aesop. I’ve currently got Rozu on my right wrist and Eremia on my left. I like both of them a lot. My wallet is probably happy that I can’t decide which one I like more, because that means I won’t go back to grab either.
I’m so glad your mom is ok
So glad your mom is back home! Now it’s time to treat both of you! 🛀🌹☀️
Happy your mom is back home!
Glad to hear you mom is home. A bath bomb is a good way to celebrate — have fun at Lush
Yay for mom! Hope you have fun at Lush.
Hooray! Have a great time at Lush.
Glad mom is back home! Have fun at the Lush store!
Glad to hear about your mom! Enjoy your Lush trip and sniffa. 🌹
Excellent news about your Mom! Thanks for letting us know.
Hooray for mom!
In Fille de Berlin this morning; wore Lyric last night. Suffering through another atmospheric river today…I’m ready for spring.
Both wonderful choices and in my collection too!🌹😉
Wore Lyric yesterday afternoon.
Yeah, riding the river here too, and holy cow! Bucketing down with gale force winds…😬
I think Fille de Berlin is the best modern Serge, if you could call it that.
Beautiful scent today.
Currently debating on either Rose de Nuit or Jubilation 25 for the SOTD. Currently I am in no 5 edp and finishing up cleaning my bathroom. Going to pick up some dog food sometime today.
Decided on Jubilation 25 for the SOTD.
You smell gorgeous.
I’m wearing Chanel Paris Paris, I am too lazy to look up the rest of the name. I forgot I had it till someone mentioned it yesterday, it’s really lovely.
Haha, we all know what you are talking about anyway, and it is lovely! I love the color of the juice, too.
I agree. That juice is a pretty color.
Sniffed Paris-Paris today (didn’t end up wearing it) but it is a lovely peppery rose, musk and patchouli <3 enjoy!
Love the peppery parts!
Part of me wants to sniff that, and part of me is afraid I will get another Chanel lemming!
I’m finally wearing perfume again after nearly 2 weeks commando, the result of Covid and post-Covid headaches. I chose Hiram Green Lustre, which is such a lovely sharp rose, and I wish it hadn’t been discontinued.
Oh well—there are many other spectacular roses to enjoy.
Random question,but are there any Iris-Jasmine perfumes you can recommend?😉🌹
The name is definitely inspired by two favorite notes, but I don’t have any in mind that feature the specific combination. Classic bouquets like No 5 and Shalimar come to mind, though? As for Iris perfumes or Jasmine perfumes, I have many favorites!
Sorry you’ve had a bad post-Covid time! Headaches stink. I still feel like my sinuses are not back to normal, and it’s been over 3 months for me.
Yay for a return to perfume! I hope that your headaches are a thing of the past now.
Today I chose Taif from my sample, so wonderful. Would love a split on this one!
Lots of rain here in Spain. Praying for Turkey and Siria.
You smell great Gabriela! You might look for people to split an Ormonde Jayne “travel lab” set, which is five 8 ml bottles, that is how I got my Ta’if.
I wore Rive Gauche yesterday when I got home to keep up with the community project, and today is Andy Tauer’s Incense Rose. This one reminds me of roses growing on a mossy stone wall. He does beautiful roses.
Ohhhh Rive is a classic!!Just lovely.
I’m in Heretic Scandalwood over Lush’s Rose Jam shower gel. Oddly, I got more rose from the sample of this one than I do from the travel spray that I purchased. Must have been a different batch(?) Even so, the 15 ml size is just perfect. Wish everything came in this size.
I reorganized my perfume collection over the weekend and was pleased to count just a dozen decants, which I will try and use up by the end of the year. Seems like a reasonable goal. Then, no more. They really do evaporate and it seems like such a waste.
Rose sandalwood is a lovely layering combo!
I feel the same about decants — it always makes me so sad to unearth one that has dried up! What a good idea to consolidate them for use this year, I might have to do the same.
In Lazarus Douvos Rose 1845. It goes a little green pepper on me at first but then settles into a lovely rose.
I need to try that one.
Lovely!
You inspired this one, so thank you!
SotD Aramis Calligraphy Rose. I think it’s a cousin to lots of other roses. I’m enjoying it more than Rose Barbare, but kudos to RB for its lasting power. The long drydown of RB sits on my skin the best of any phases. Calligraphy is just nice all day. The tea pot is attractive, and my first thought was I’d really like it if it came out of some tomb of antiquity. But the practical maintenance of a modern gold-leafed tea pot would not work in my world.
ACR twins today! 🌹
Hi, twin! We smell so good!
Question of the day that is non perfume related. I just got home from my yearly dermatology appointment and we got talking about Botox and serums for wrinkles. Do any of you use a vitamin C serum that you feel works particularly good? TIA.
I love Skinceuticals Vit C Serum 10, it is for sensitive skin.
Thanks Hera.
I just reordered 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum from Timeless Skincare (timelessha.com) for the third time. It does not create “dramatic results,” but I think it makes a difference with regular use. I use their argan oil, too. The price is right, IMHO.
Thank you MossyBerry.
Maelove Glow Maker is a fantastic one!
Thanks Gabriela. That is relatively inexpensive unlike many out there.
I second this recommendation. I’m on my 5th? bottle.
Thanks for the second vote on this 😊
I just started using Goodal Vitamin C serum, and I’m finding it less drying than previous vitamin c attempts. It’s affordable, too.
I see it is. Thank you.
I recently started using Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Brightening Serum. It’s pricey, but I took advantage of a sale at Sephora. I really liked it when I had a sample of it.
Thanks my friend.
Skinceuticals CE Ferulic is considered the OG vitamin C serum. They did a lot of research and have a patent on the formula. I used it for awhile, and while it is *nice* it is crazy expensive. I’ve tried the dupes: Maelove (turned my hands orange just fyi), DRMTLGY and Timeless. My current faves are Summer Friday’s which also contains Niacinamide and has a wonderful gel like texture and Oskia’s super-c, which are individual capsules- they are an oil base which was sooo nice this winter on my skin.
I would highly, highly recommend Caroline Hiron’s blog, book: Skincare The New Edit and SkinRocks app. She is an esthetician and has the best advice out there. My skin has never looked better!!
Wow! You really have the information. Thanks much.
I am obsessed with skincare! Even more so than perfume.
Nope. I use La Mer Genaissance Serum and switch off with Estée Lauder Advanced Night Eepair Serum. No set pattern, just whichever one I prefer at the moment.
Thanks. I currently use one by Clinique. They had a pharmacy at the dermatologist that was selling vitamin C serum for about $90. I am guessing that is one the dermatologist recommends, but I didn’t get the name of it.
I’m a another one who will be in OJ’s Ta’if. It’s a really lovely perfume.
I have contemplated purchasing Ta’if. It is a beautiful perfume.
SOTD=vintage Dune – this has rose, so I am CP compliant by accident. I just got a decant of 2001 era Dune- delightful! Love that teapot, even tho it is way too extra for my life! I like imagining what sort of life I would have to generate to have that teapot fit in comfortably on my tea-table.
You smell wonderful – one of my top 10!
Vintage Dune is so good.
I had forgotten just how good!
Is any other kind worth it? Just being facetious since I have 2 bottles of the vintage.
No, now that I am reminder of this vintages version, gonna have to pass on any more bottles of current Dune toilette water/cologne.
I am pretty sure I don’t even want the life that would easily incorporate that teapot…luckily, since I cannot have that life!
My mother would say, “That teapot has nothing to do with my life”, but would have secretly yearned for it. One grandma would have loved it tucked in amid all her other boho baubles and do-dads, long before boho was a thing. Other grandma would have sniffed and called it “tres tacky, “ and then laughed at her “bad grammar in two languages” joke. Big family get-togethers in my family were always a hoot and a half, as they say.. Boho grandma wore Joy, schoolmarm grandma wore Arpege, mom wore Emeraude and cigarette smoke, and later, White Linen. I miss them all.
What a great family run down!! That really made me smile.
Thanks for that lovely vignette.
I had no idea Dune had rose! You smell great.
In this decant of EDP, I cam make out the rose with several deep sniffs outside in cold clean air. But I had to look up the claimed notes just in case.
I am wearing FM Lipstick Rose today, another one of my favourites.
That’s a fun one
You smell great!
In some spine-stiffening Cristalle for a day at the office.
So funny, I do not think of Cristalle as spine stiffening at all! But hope it is doing what you need it to do
Finishing up the LAP Potager samples in Musc Amarante today. I get some beet, but this is mostly musc to my nose. Like a 30%-70% split. I am trying it against CdG Rouge, but I forgot that Rouge is a ginger bomb on me and the beet never really comes through. I realized after I got to the office that I should have grabbed Kyoto to try again MA instead because that ones has rose in it, but too late now.
Tea today is Snowflake.
So which one of the set was the best?
Iris de Gris was my favorite. Pretty and straight up fun!
Thanks Vee!
Tried a sample of Ex Nihilo Iris Porcelana. Pleasant, but no sillage. Switching to Olivier Durbano Rose Quartz.
What is Rose Quartz like?
I was wrong about the name, it’s Pink Quartz. It’s a rose incense, but not like the Tauer, more of a mineralic incense with tose.
I almost forgot that one, and I did review it and apparently liked it
I started the day in Majalis, my one perfume from Les Parfums de Rosine, it used to be a boutique exclusive, not sure if it’s still the case, it’s a cinnamon rose I greatly favor; tonight it’s Kenzo Flower which I haven’t worn in ages, it’s such a successful mix of powdery violet and rose but not totally me, I think.
Ooh, cinnamon + rose sounds interesting
From the samples of Rosine I tried this one was my favorite with Rose Praline second.
I’m sampling a bit of Rose 31 today. At first sniff I thought it must have some patchouli in it, but I don’t see it in the notes listed. Maybe the combo of cumin, cedar, and woods tricked me. I’m not great at identifying notes anyway! I am liking it, at any rate.
For those who’ve bought Le Labos before, do you prefer the eau de parfums or the oils? And there’s also a balm–too many choices for me.
I own a bottle of Jasmin 17, but I don’t enjoy the dropper packaging of the oils, so it was an easy decision. I would be curious to know if Rose 31 is somewhat softer in the oil?
Good question! There’s a Le Labo store near me, so maybe I’ll check it out when I’m on vacation next week :).
I have the smallest bottle of three le labo EDPs – it’s a great size for me, and I’m too clumsy for a dropper perfume.
I didn’t know they came with a dropper–perfume oils usually come in roller balls, which is more practical!
Wow! That is some teapot!
My brew today is AugustLA Jet Black.
I am joyfully participating in the CP this week with my favorite floral note. Today, I’m joining the crowd in Ta’if. 💖
Yay. I bet we see Ta’if every day this week.
It’s just so gorgeous.
PSA Ta’if is on sale for Valentine’s Day for 99.99 of 4 ounces at Jomasop. Just saying. Some may be interested. Good bargain.
Sorry again. Jomashop.
I’m in Calligraphy Rose, from a decant that has stopped spraying properly. No worries, I have supplies. 😎
I think you have shared samples of that with me and I really like it. I must wear it later this week.
It might have been me; I’m not sure. Anyway, I’m glad you like it!
That one seems to have become a Perfume Unicorn now!
I’m back wearing Raw Gold, my true love from Thomas de Monaco, which I can’t quite make up my mind to purchase. But it’s smelling so wonderful on me today that I’m inching closer to pulling the plug or pushing the button or whatever it is one does.
Lol! I immediately thought of perfumes sold from a vending machine. Thank goodness that isn’t a thing! 😅
Raw Gold was one of my FB ourchase this past year. Love it but the price. I rationalized the offset after a work bonus. Enjoy your sample!
I’m cheating a bit today, wearing Eau My Soul, which contains about half of all popular notes in perfumery! I don’t know why I keep wearing hint-of-rose scents since I have so many rose-centered ones. Working my way up to Friday I guess.
You smell great!
Baked some brownies this afternoon, just for grins.
SOTD = Dame Desert Rose EdP. I’d call this a powdery rose. It smells like pink rose petals too. Not as sweet as Cassis, Rose & Sandalwood.
Forgot to mention that today’s teapot looks like it belongs in a museum rather than someone’s kitchen! Very pretty objet d’art.
I am thinking it is not a teapot you can clean with efferdent, which means I definitely don’t want it in my kitchen
I’ve been craving brownies! Found some pandemic-stock-up baker’s chocolate in the pantry and set it out on the counter to await the arrive of inspiration.
Nothing that fancy for me, just a boxed mix. I have some tweaks to make if I decide to whip up another batch. I think using some chai instead of water would be rather tasty.
Yum! I almost baked brownies over the weekend, but then went the lazy route and just bought cookies at the store instead.😂
I have a lot of walnut pieces that were just begging to be used in something other than snacking out of hand.
Same, except I bought chocolate cake, because that’s what they had at the bakery.
Great scent!
I think Desert Rose would truly shine in summer weather.
This sounds great! I have tried his Rose de Mai and find it FB worthy so will have to seek out a sample of Desert Rose
Those Dame Perfumery samples are awesome, aren’t they?
Nice! I still haven’t used the oven.
Are air fryer brownies a thing?
It may be a while before I make another batch. I realized that I don’t consume that much in the way of baked goods anymore, so that batch will easily last a week for me.
Lovely teapot! But I rarely drink tea, so no need for one. I had a massage at lunch time so commando until then, but I’ve just put on some Woman in Gold. Although not a rose perfume, rose is a note.
You smell fantastic, love WiG.
Lucky you, hope it was a wonderful massage!
Not cp compliant but this week should be easy for me to swing. Love roses. In Splendiris…for a cooling soothing touch before I tackle studies for professional development
Good luck yvree!
Quick comment and then back to working for one more hour. I’m in DSH Inner Sanctum since ringthing wore it yesterday and reminded me of how much I like it. It’s a beautiful dark rose chypre with an animalic aspect from oud, but it’s just the right amount of oud to balance things out.
DSH has a rather intimidating website! I have yet to successfully navigate it.
SOTD = Guerlain Shalimar Philtre de Parfum
Powdery lemon too, florals, vanilla and some gasoline. Love it!

I took the latest train I could catch to make it to work by 8AM (but really cutting it close). Anyway, there was a two seater with the aisle seat open, except, EXCEPT there was a cell phone charging. The woman who had the aisle seat in front of said seat stood up and gave me the look and said she will sit there then. I almost blew my too – talk about being entitled. Seriously, a seat for a cell phone? 😱 This sounds like a story I heard about entitled teens whose cell phones are, get this, carried by a maid, as a sign of [fill in the blanks] 👊and no, this not a fist bump.
She thought it was okay for her cell phone to take up a seat on a crowded commuter train?? Honestly, what is wrong with people.
OMG. What is wrong with people? Craziness to need a seat for the cell phone.
I love Philtre! You smell so good!
The only polite word I can think of to describe Cell Phone Woman is “obnoxious”. However, I can easily come up with quite a few Not Safe for NST words for that individual too!
