Rabbit rabbit rabbit! Adiós February! It’s also Hump Day and Zero Discrimination Day. Birthdays: Frédéric Chopin, Lytton Strachey, Glenn Miller, Ralph Ellison, Robert Lowell, Harry Belafonte, Roger Daltrey. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm voting for an early spring with L’Artisan Jacinthe des Bois.
Reminder: 3/3 is World Wildlife Day. This year's theme: Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation. Wear a fragrance from a brand making an effort in the arena of biodiversity protection (you should have plenty of choice).
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.

I remembered the rabbits this morning!
Bit of snow this morning and a *lot* more coming tomorrow: I’m at home doing household chores in Alfred Sung Encore, which showed up in 1990 at the tail end of those Poison-inspired tuberose florientals. This might actually (heresy) be better than Poison — less lethal, certainly, gorgeously warm and caressing — but it didn’t have the style or the advertising budget that Dior lavished on its opulent creation.
Gosh, sorry about the snow! I’ve never tried that one, but if it’s close to Poison I bet you smell great!
I remembered too, for once! We’ll have a good month I’m sure.
Rabbit, rabbit, RABBIT!! It’s March!! (we made it Lillyjo) My weather person said our average daily temp in March is 43, I will take it!
I’m in Zoologist Deer Musk. Musk Deer? It’s pretty nice, but I don’t need more than my sample. Idk, it must be just me but I’m kind of weirded out by those animal names and silhouettes and haven’t tried many from this line.
Today’s my Friday because I’m headed to a conference out of town tomorrow. Excited both for the conference and for the hotel room to myself.
House twins!
🙌
Yes we made it! 🌞🐇🌻🌷
😎🍀🐇🌻
Totally with you on the weirded-outness by those labels!
Ha! So glad it’s not just me.😆
Enjoy your weekend trip!
Thanks Robin!
That is my fave of the Zoos, but I too find it difficult to disassociate the graphics and names from many of the scents. I think the designs are beautiful, and the packaging! Nevertheless, hard as I try, can’t talk myself into trying a perfume called Cow Extrait.
All of this, exactly!
p. s. I meant to ask, if you were attending a conference and planned to be in a room full of people, what scent would you choose? I have some ideas, but would love to hear others’ thoughts!😀
I have been in a few crowded settings where I have worn FM Iris Poudre. I have also worn light scents by Jo Malone as they are not usually offensive. For example, Wood Sage and Sea Salt and Nectarine and Honey are both pretty easy in large settings.
Ton Ford Shanghai Lily or Chanel Sycomore.
Chanel No. 19 Poudre.
I have tried quite a few from this house, but I can see being weirded out by the names and graphics. I do have to say that I like and own Civet and Bee. I haven’t found any others in the line that I feel I have to have at this time.
Safe travels, and enjoy your conference!
Rabbits! Cute picture. I’m wearing Zoologist Moth today and will try to wear Zoologist for the rest of the week.
Today must be a great date for talented musicians to be born!
Seriously, that is a talent list there.
I never remember the rabbits because that isn’t a tradition I’m familiar with, except for NST. However, I just took my winter decor off my door and windowsill in my office and now I have rabbit and bird figurines, and a dogwood wreath (faux). Today I grabbed Demeter Tomato, which is one of my top three Demeter scents.
I had never heard of it either, but there was a reader here who rabbited in the comments every 1st of the month and I adopted it 🙂
I’d love to do a week of favourite Demeter scents. I don’t have any because they are not available where I live but feel they might be relatively safe cheap thrill, blind buys so would love to be guided by others. I did have condensed milk once, and bees wax and paperback and they were all good fun.
Another vote for early spring here, in Chanel 19 EDT. And I remembered to rabbit!
Yay!
Yes for No. 19!
I’m in your cousin the EDP!
My perfume matches today’s picture, tom ford soleil neige! It’s definitely a relative of eau claire des merveilles, if that’s something that interests you.
But is it *better* than Eau Claire? Then it might indeed interest me.
No, nothing could be better than eau claire 🙁 the only advantage is that this one is not discontinued!
Fair enough!
Rabbit rabbit rabbit and I am wearing another set of all natural perfumes that these little creatures might approve of: Aftelier Cepes et Tuberose, and Florascent Medina. The wonderful dirt accord in C&T, the buttery tuberose and the rich benzoin drydown are especially great in parfum concentration which I dabbed on this morning. And the new version of Medina is missing some of the powerful saffron – orris – vetiver punch it had before, but it’s still a very nice and earthy patchouli scent. Whenever I wear it, I am reminded of how stripped down, barebone and cleaned up the patchouli note is in most commercial perfumes and how nice it is to have small indie brands to remind me of what it can be in its original form. I may spritz some Providence Perfume Co Rose Boheme, an intense rose and patch combo, later on, to compliment this set.
Patchouli seems to be having a moment, but it is Cleaned Up Patchouli, which seems rather beside the point.
Yes. It’s interesting…these days, you date yourself by saying you don’t like patchouli 🙂
Hah! My mother must have told me she hates patchouli at least five times in the two hours we were sniffing perfumes together on Sunday. When I showed her which ones listed patchouli, or fractions of patchouli (or whatever that is called), she declared that she found all of them awful!
Excellent!
I think of myself as not liking patchouli, despite liking a few old school patchouli-heavy scents, and these days, it’s hardly worth noticing patchouli in the notes. Plus I think there are molecular fractions of patch even in many scents where its not listed.
Happy March! Four sprays of Coromandel again because I felt like it. I am in the office today so it’s a bit bolder of a choice.
This is a long stretch, but I was wondering if anyone here has Guerlain Iris Ganache? I love iris and am so curious to smell this gourmand take on it. If so, would you be willing to swap or sell me a small 1-2ml decant? I have the following rare & discontinued perfumes I’d be happy to swap for:
– Chanel Egoiste Cologne Concentree, a deeper version of Egoiste with sandalwood to die for
– Penhaligons Amaranthine, weird tropical banana leaf and ylang-ylang, also with a creamy sandalwood base
– Vintage Guerlain Mitsouko parfum
– Vintage Chanel No 19 parfum
– and several others, happy to share!
Email me at: m e (at) p ira te fs h (dawt) net, without the spaces 🙂
On another note, the new Hermes Un Jardin a Cythere is up on the US hermes.com website!
I’m thinking of picking up a 50ml unsniffed because I am too impatient to smell it. Let me know if any of y’all would like a decant!
Do report back! I am done with decants but might pick up a 15 ml bottle if I hear it’s fantastic.
Will do! The notes sound interesting, so it will at least be a new experience even if I don’t like it.
I see the 15mls already up for sale as well.
I do! Please just send me an email with your shipping info again. No need to swap.
You’re too kind!! Sending you an email now <3
In that blackberry muddled cocktail, Muresque by DSH. It goes on like a powerhouse, but doesn’t last long—or at least I hope so as I have already reapplied it this morning and I don’t want to kill anyone if I go out in public. Death by blackberry cocktail bomb.
I missed how your mum’s (mom’s) perfume day went. Did she have a favourite ( favorite)? Our wild blackberries are in full fruit and really tasty and juicy…here’s to weeds!
I love love love wild blackberries, especially picking them on the side of the road–the stained fingers and tongues, even the scratches on wrists and legs from leaning into bushes.
As for my mum, she enjoyed herself but I think was a little overstimulated. She was pretty tired when she left, but I believe she felt lavished in attention. She took home decants of the following–mostly unchallenging florals and woods, with the exception of the Neela Vermeire: Nuit de Cellophane, She Was an Anomaly, JM’s Orange Blossom, Paris-Venise, Little Flower, Santal 33, Promenade des Anglais, and Pichola.
Oh, that’s a nice list! I am voting for Pichola.
8 perfumes? That’s a really good haul for a sniffing session!
Ooh, if she wants more Nuit de Cellophane to make up her mind, let me know. I have an unloved travel size spray!
I learned about Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit when my daughter was in grade school. I think today is the first time since NST started doing it that I remembered before I dropped by, and I’m oddly semi-excited to have done so.
Scent: Zara Fleur d’Oranger on one arm and Amalfi Sunray on the either. My hot take is they start out with different topnotes and dry down pretty much identically. Applied them maybe an hour ago (maybe less), and they are fading rapidly – but I think that’s kind of expected. Both are ok, glad I only bought rollerballs.
Scent for later: I’m thinking green. Spring-ish weather is triggering cravings for orange blossom or green scents.
Oh that’s so interesting, have never heard of anyone doing it in the wild. Where was she in grade school?
And I know what you mean. I do not consider myself superstitious and do the rabbits here just for fun and as a way of marking time passing, but I feel victorious when I remember.
Wearing the gentle Douceur de Siam, and relieved that we’ve made it to March.
The cute picture above reminded me of the Jacqui Lawson Sussex advent calendar a relative sent me, and it included an adorable animated video of bunnies (and other creatures) sliding across the ice.
I can’t tell you how happy I am that it is March! I detest February.
Rabbit rabbit rabbit for the year of the rabbit. Maybe it will be easier for me to remember this year.
Cold, rainy and blustery here. I’m’in Cacao Porcelana. I think I’ll wear Harvest Mouse Friday.
Aha, maybe that’s why I remembered today!
That wintry mix isn’t pretty. Are you liking Harvest Mouse?
It’s a lovely sweet grain scent, very cozy. Very grateful I am not getting the beer note!
And on me, the malted note took over quickly and made it so the perfume was too cloying. I do not like malted notes at all, I’ve discovered, between this and the Akro that features it.
I remembered my rabbits today, unlike the past few months!
I pulled out the last of the samples from the chocolate & cocoa set today, which is Pierre Guillaume Aqaysos. So far I’m not getting any cocoa at all though supposedly it’s there and may make an appearance later. Very citrus / pepper so far.
After an unexpected snowstorm early yesterday morning, we’re supposed to get more snow tonight. So we’re in this cycle of heavy, wet snow, then a bunch of it melting off, then more heavy, wet snow. Doesn’t meteorological spring begin today? Someone send it here!
Just across the pond from you and experiencing the same lovely weather! I’d like a tropical beverage with an umbrella in it and weather to match, pleas and thank you! 🍹
Yep, today is the first day of meteorological Spring. I keep trying to share my weather, to no avail.
I am wearing vintage Miss Dior edc, from splash bottle, smells amazing!!
the other day I went to try the new Rosa Rossa harvest , I really don’t get why there are three Rosa Rossa’s, this one supposed to smell more rose but I was disappointed to smell mostly litchis, the price is increased too!! just venting!!
You smell absolutely amazing in one of the best fragrances know to noses!
known!
I still need to announce those Harvest AAs, but keep doing other fragrances first because they annoy me so much!!
Wearing Abel Pause. I think Abel donates to the planet (1%) , and provides meals through Mary’s Meals charity plus opts for sustainable ingredients, non toxic packaging ( inks), biodegradable card, carbon neutrality, vegan …. So fits the CP though you need about 15 sprays and need to hold your wrist to your nose , and fades quickly. I like the scent though, mimosa, and bought it . Can top up with mimosa and cardamon later.
Found a great patch of wild blackberries yesterday. Yum.
Wild blackberries are the best, there were a lot of them growing near the beach in BC on Vancouver Island.
What a wonderful brand!
And blackberries. Delightful.
Wild berries can be such a treat! Lucky you! 😋
Sunny but COLD and WINDY today! Tomorrow is supposed to bring more snow/frozen mix/rain. Yech!
Still credentialing (on-line testing) for work and this is the first time I’ve had tests all about using the computer program and NOTHING medically oriented…soon a robot will be doing my job! 🤖
I’m going with SL Un Bois Vanille today because someone mentioned it in the comments yesterday. One of my all time favorites and my bottle is about half empty.
T-Rex seems to have hurt her back so I’ve been carrying her up and down the steps into the camper and lifting her up to the bed at bedtime, up to her fluffy bed on the dinette seat, plus in and out of the truck. It’s a workout, let me tell you!😅 Hoping with a little “back rest” it will resolve in a few days. She’s still playful and eating well, but is unable to do her morning doggie yoga “downward dog” stretches without yelping. ☹️
Also, I forgot to rabbit for the millionth time. Pretty sure I’m doomed! 🙃
Oh no, I hope T-Rex is better soon!!
Poor baby. I’ve had the same issues with my last girl, but she only weighed 7 lbs.
Sorry to hear about T-Rex, I hope she gets well soon!
Sending healing vibes to T-Rex, I love the image of doggy yoga.
Aw, poor T-Rex! A sore back is no fun no matter what species you are.
Sending head scratches to T-Rex. Hope she feels better soon.
Oh poor doggo. I hope she feels better soon. You too with your online credentialing.
I am dumb, I really did not know dogs could hurt their back. Hope it is better tomorrow!
Oh no! I am sending T-Rex lots of love and healing vibes! Hope she feels better soon!
Happy to kick February to the curb. Though so far March is not much better. This is day 7 with no power. At least it’s sunny, though everything here is iced over at the moment. Hope it melts later. We are supposed to have a few ok days, then snow returns Saturday until forever.
Husband got out to get a few groceries yesterday, and we got mail delivered for the first time in a week! and UPS! though FedEx wimped out.
No CP for me today, sticking with ‘cozy’. SOTD is Arabian Oud Kalemat.
Oh no, what a drag! Hope your generator is holding down the fort.
Yes, thank heavens we can power the whole house with our generator, and even more fortunately, we got a propane delivery the day before the power went out.
7 days with no power, yikes! Hope it comes back soon for you.
Blergh! A week without power? Yuck.
Good thing you got that propane delivery when you did!
Day 7! Pixel, you have my sincere sympathies. So glad the propane is holding out.
Racing by to say that I’m wearing Le Galion’s Sortilège.
Hi!
Hi all!
Sitting in front of a roaring fireplace. Every time the Mr. puts it on, I don’t want to do anything but watch it. I’m not getting much done. Snow remnants on the ground are pretty.
Wearing Snow Fairy. Lush does a lot for charity.
Hope all is well! You have been missed.💜
Nice to see you! I love my fireplace too. First home with a gas fireplace for me and I love it.
Nice to be here!💜💜💜
Gas fireplaces are sweet. You might accomplish something!
Your day sounds lovely. Glad you can enjoy it
Thank you, Kanuka. It has been a really nice day. 💜
Nice to hear from you, AnniePerfumes. I will join you by the fireplace!
So nice to be ‘home’.
C’mon over!
I agree, lit fireplaces are hypnotic. Lush is a good pick for the CP.
I even moved the furniture for a better view!😊 💜
It’s been a Lush week. Snow Fairy!
Hiya! I hope that you have been doing well.
It’s been ages since we used our fireplace. It’s a gas one, and I don’t think we have fired it up since 2009. But we used to use it a lot, and the cats we had back then LOVED it.
Hey! I hope YOU are doing well!💜
My cat loved my one at my old place. Of course, blankets helped the coziness.
Some good things, some bad things, and of course at least one thing that is TMI. Ha!
I slept and slept. And slept.
Am about 90% done with the stolen wallet and checkbook fiasco.. a few outstanding items to check off the list.
New project will start in about two weeks, gives me time to finish some pushed aside tasks, get new drivers license ( has to be in person) and get my crown finished.
Who can give me their opionion of Jorum Spiritcask?
SOTD post shower will be something deeply ambery to combat the continued cold in SoCal.
Just received the sample, will give it a go later today.
I don’t have any info about the perfume but SO glad you were able to get some good sleep! 😴🛌
Stolen? O my gosh. What a nightmare. So sorry.
As far as the perfume, I think hajusuuri could probably give her opinion. Just guessing!💜
I think she could, too!
W00t! I went straight to a large sample! It is boozy in just the right amount. I would say this is the 2nd best of Jorum perfumes, after Trimerous. You’ll see that I just copied and pasted the notes from Fragrantica but I can honestly say it is well blended other than the booze.

enabler!! well done:)
I’m also racing by…Acqua di Parma Profumo. Enjoying these chypres I’ve been in this week.
You smell wonderful, Profumo is one of my favorite modern chypres.
I love this thing start to finish. ❤️
Oh, that is SO very beautiful! You smell divine!
Thanks! It’s working fine in this somewhat humid weather. I was in Bandit EdT and EdP yesterday.
Beep beep!
👍🏻
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for me, going home for a week after Seattle, and then flying out again to Hawaii! We are celebrating Mr E’s retirement, yay! We are on Oahu and meeting up with my Alaskan brother and SIL, what a gift. Then a few days on Maui by ourselves.
SotD is Chantecaille Tiare, which it will be for the remainder of the trip. I re-purchased this one in Honolulu, since I discovered while packing that my slightly-vintage bottle had gone off. 😣 The current one is almost as good, though.
I’ve been looking for a plumeria perfume but haven’t seen many at all. Does anyone have a frag with that note prominent?
Happy Hump Day, all!
Congratulations to Mr.E and have a great vacation!
Thank you, lillyjo!
No recs for a plumeria perfume from me, sorry. But congrats to Mr. E and enjoy Hawaii!
Thanks, Jalapeno. I don’t think it’s possible to *not* enjoy Hawaii on vacation. ☺️
Happy Vacation and Plumeria perfume hunting!
Thanks, sweetie!
Have a great time! Congratulations to Mr. E – join the club!
Thanks, springpansy. 😊
Plumeria also goes by the name of frangipani and there’s a lot of perfumes with that name. I like the Ormond Jayne one, but I tried it a long time ago and don’t own it. I never got the chance to do any kind of direct comparison to a flower.
I have a couple on my list – the OJ and a Jo Malone. Will have to sample these.
Hi!
Vacation sounds just right.
Terranova makes/made? a perfume and a perfume oil named Plumeria. Lush has Frangipani and I thought Calypso St. Barth had a scent like that.
Yes, yes, yes! Thanks, AP!
Congratulations to your husband and what a fun vacation! How many people here can say they’ve met your husband? 🖐️
😄 Very few, I think. Now I’m going to catch up on comments to see what you’ve spritzed today. 🦉
What a great way to start retirement! Have an excellent time.
Thank you, Robin. ☺️
Lush 25:43 for me today. I really love this one and hope they bring it back sometime. I have the travel spray in the black opaque packaging so I have no idea how much is left.
I love that, too. I hardly touch it, because it isn’t available.
I have the same format for this perfume! The perfumer or his son (maybe both) has his own line of perfumes which don’t seem to be available except in the UK.
Have a great time in Hawaii, AnnE! Much nicer weather than the mainland at present.
No rabbits for me, but no worries. I have pretty good luck without them. But I am kind of astonished that it’s March already. My time perception is kind of like those movie montages where the calendar pages go flying by to denote time passing. So fast! Anyway I am wearing LPRN Black Perfecto, a decant from a friend. I like the cherry note but the rest of it is undistinguished to my nose.
Thanks, foxbins! Yes, not looking forward to going back to New England weather one little bit.
I’m in Arbole because Vee mentioned it earlier this week.
Now that it’s March, I can say I had a successful no-buy for the month of February. Not even a sample or discovery set! It was a short month, but I’ll take what I can get. We’ll see how long I last in March, it’s my birthday month so it’ll be tricky! 😆
Congratulation on the no-buy February, I am on a low-buy, 1 bottle in January but 3 in February so like you I will aim for a low-buy March.
Congratulations! Birthday justification is real. I just bought two yesterday.😳 Blind buys.😣 I’ll never learn.
Well done on that February No Buy! Go you! 🎈✨🎊
Happy Birthday Month Twins! 🙌
I layered Mandorlo di Sicilia (bottle almost finished) with Passage d’Enfer, it worked and was a long-lasting combo, quite sweet though. Tonight I am in Jean Patou Heritage Collection l’Heure Attendue, when I want a light amber I reach for it but it’s quite resinous with an almost animalic aspect today, interesting, I probably sprayed more than usual.
A thunked bottle almost. I’m impressed. The combo sounds lovely.
Yes, it will be the first one in a while😀. I didn’t expect Mandorlo with its citrussy, anissy almond to play so well with the incense of Passage d’Enfer.
I should open up my new-ish bottle of L’Heure Attendue one of these days. It’s still in the shrink wrap…
😂😂😂
How many bottles in shrink wrap?
More than one. 😳🤪 I don’t remember exactly how many off the top of my head.
Oh, now I’m nervous in case you don’t like it once you open it.
That layering combo sounds great! I find that incense notes can help with too-sweetness quite well, but perhaps the sweetness of Mandorlo was too much. I swapped away my bottle of it many years ago.
Oh yes they played so well together, you’re absolutely right about incense, I think, it’s what happened is that I oversprayed Mandorlo a lot hence the extra sweetness in the combo.
SotD Shalimar edc, modern version. I am very close to a FB thunk on this one: just in time to read rumors of its being discontinued. But I have several vintage and vintage-ish versions. Shalimar is always Shalimar to my nose and I like it. I have an edt that I like best, and also a fan of Philtre and Souffle Intense. I’ve tried two versions of the parfum, and it is probably the version I like least. (Dodges tomatoes)
Another almost thunker? Thanks for the rumor. There goes the no buy, as I dodge with you.☺
😀
I woke up under the weather this morning. I went to work but came home after an hour. I have been sleeping all day. This morning I put on Chance eau Vive to help Spring remember where I live. I said my rabbits and hoping for a good month.
I hope you feel better soon, lillyjo!
Bummer! I hope that it’s “just” a cold and that you get better quickly!
Hope you feel better ASAP! Fluids, fluids, rest, more fluids! 🙃
Get well soon, lillyjo!
I hope it passes quickly and you feel better soon lillyjo! You smell great, so at least you’ve got that win for the day 🙂
Ouch – feel better soon!
O geez. I hope you feel better.
Smelling fine.
Poor you, hope you feel better soon!
Wishing you a quick return to wellness, lillyjo!
Oh Lillyjo, so sorry, hope you are feeling better today.
Wow, today’s photo is from some old stomping grounds of mine! Rather chuffed when I read that bit of info from the caption.
I “rabbitted” this morning, but it was about the third thing I said out loud, so we shall see if the rabbits are nice to me or not. However, the month of March is off to a less than optimal start already. I found out that a couple of local friends of mine have COVID. Sucks!
SOTD = LUSH Rose Jam Perfume.
Boo for COVID
Definitely! 🤬 My phone was blowing up this afternoon with notifications. Right now they are working on getting some Paxlovid, since both of them have risk factors for severe COVID.
You smell good but your local friends may not be able to smell you!
When I say “local”, I mean that they live in the same state, LOL! By that metric, you are local too. 🤣
But they are only about 30 minutes away.
Haha! Very true!
Chuffed☺
Sorry about your friends. This thing won’t quit!
Is your Rose Jam the current formulation? I love it. They are redoing it again.
Yes, the travel spray I have is the current stuff. I got a whiff of it this afternoon and thought “Dang, I smell good!”
Oh no. It really never ends.
SOTD = Chanel No.19 EDP
Too lazy to post a picture on Insta but you KNOW how I feel about this. I was originally going to wear 28 La Pausa but the atomizer just went pfffft; there’s definitely enough left for 3 or 4 more hajusuuri wearings!
I remembered my rabbits today and also have 3 extra sets so whomever wants them can claim them.
That’s enough rabbits for a bunny picnic! 🙂
https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_Bunny_Picnic
So adorable!
Claimed. Taking the mojo.
Another near thunk? You are the 3rd.
Well, the No.19 is almost near thunk; certainly by yearend. The 28 La Pausa is truly within several (4 or fewer) wearings if I can only get to the bottom of the bottle!
You have a veritable colony of rabbits there!
Ha! NST all day everyday!
I’ll claim a set, and thank you! 🐰
Yours!
Trying Nobile 1942 Rudis today. This is an oddball, but I like it. I get fresh grapes, incense, and a fruity leather note that I like. I get dried fruit note as well, and it is definitely dried fruit, not stewed. Sorta kinda like a fruited version of Bottega Veneta.
Tea today was a mix of Clipper Ship’s chocolate puer, vanilla bourbon, and burnt sugar and it was tasty.
I had to be a jerk today at work and call out another department in front of some significant higher-ups for bringing us to the brink of an important external deadline expiring this afternoon. They have had months and were warned multiple times of the priority and consequences, but they still hadn’t done what they needed to do as of this morning. It was my last option but I still feel cruddy about it.
You shouldn’t feel like crap for calling out someone else’s BS!
You had to do it. No sense beating yourself up over others refusal to do their job. They shouldn’t need warnings or reminders of consequences. Just do their job.
💜
Actually, it was the other team that was a jerk and you just called them out on it. Good on you.
What she said. 👍🏻
