It's Monday and Candy Corn Day. RIP Matthew Perry. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Sarah Jessica Parker Stash SJP.
Reminder: on 11/3, we're off to Japan (just in time for Culture Day). Wear a perfume that is named for a place in Japan, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Japan, or that features a Japanese ingredient, or ?
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2023, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

I’m wearing Tea for Two, celebrating the cool weather the next few days.
You smell great!
Hello.
Sotd is Ex Nihilo Oud Vendome. The name would suggest a strong oud forward scent but instead it’s a very light oud. It’s sweet, fresh and quite chic.
So sad about Matthew Perry…
Love all things Japanese, they have such beautiful aesthetics and rich culture. This week should be fun!
VERY sad about Matthew Perry. Was not a huge fan of Friends but I did watch it from time to time, and he just seemed like he had a really rough life.
It is not hard to find beautiful pictures of Japan, that is for sure.
Getting some CP points in Mitsouko.

Ah, yes you are!
Perfect.
Eau d’Hadrien EDC here-I need a clear head for the masses of paperwork I have to do today. Hope people have a good day 🙂
Good luck Carole…hope it’s down to a small mass by now!
I love that photo up top, it looks very peaceful.
Such a shame about Mr. Perry, after all the work he put into cleaning up his life. He should still be proud of that work, wherever he is now.
Question: Are there any birders and bird enthusiasts here? I am trying to decide if i should get one of those suet feeder thingies for my back porch. My feeders broke and I wonder if it’s a good substitute or the little piggies I mean birds would just destroy it within a short time. They are all coming back for the winter and they’re hungry!
I am not sure what I will be wearing later today, I will probs decide at literally the last minute. i’ll let y’all know tomorrow.
I keep out finch feeders all year round, but have found suet feeders and some of the others attract blackbirds so have stayed away from them.
Seed feeders at my place attract deer and rodents – not good. I use those suet baskets year-round, and get lovely woodpeckers and bluebirds, as well as my favorite tiny birds like nuthatches and chickadees. I put out small amounts of seeds now and then. Obnoxious but charming red squirrels like the suet, too. However, they don’t just camp out on the feeder for it, but stop by for a nosh and head on out. To go on, as Kris said, I do sometimes have swarms of starlings or grackles but they, as do the squirrels, tend to move on in a few days. Do you have Rural King stores in your area? They have the best price on suet cakes; sometimes in the bulk pack but sometimes for the singles!
My husband always had the suet feeders hung very high, from a hook on our garage…nobody could really get to it but the birds, and it was too rickety for large birds to hang on to.
I think the prevailing wisdom now is that you should not feed wild birds at all, in any way. While my husband was alive he was never willing to stop — so much entertainment! and he had trained quite a few birds to eat fruits & nuts off the fence posts while he was standing right next to it — but I have taken down all our bird feeders now. It makes me sad though!
I second the “Not feeding wild birds.” Or any kind of wild animal. It’s usually a death sentence for them. ☠️
I’m wearing CSP Vanille Ambre today, not that I can really tell, because between yesterday afternoon (Molinard Habanita) and this morning my sense of smell decided to take a hike. I can still tell that things have a scent, but I can’t really tell what they are, exactly: no specificity, no particularity. I can’t tell the VA from Voile d’Ambre or Anne Klein II or a dozen other ambers: it’s just sweet warmth, and not much of that. The SL Arabian room spray, which smells potently of roses, just smells like vaguely rosy floralcy. It’s the olfactory equivalent of looking at things through a scrim, or hearing things with earplugs in (or the blathering adults in Peanuts cartoons).
Well, it’ll come back. Probably. Damn you, COVID (shakes fist impotently at nothing).
I am sorry to hear this, Pyr, how frustrating! I hope it comes back soon, and you can sniff all your FBs and decants to your heart’s content.
Hopefully it’ll be back shortly.
I lost my smell and taste when I had Covid last summer, but it came back in a couple of days, if that’s any consolation.
What a bother! I had a horrible couple of days very much as you describe. Sniffing a bottle of vanilla essence is usually quite nose-singeing, and I could only just detect it.
It might take a bit, but lotions are nice. I mean when you have Covid the lack of smell is made up for by having nice moisturizing creams and such.
Then again, getting up to shower was an accomplishment in itself, when I had it, lol.
Ugh. If that’s your worst symptom though, then that’s good!
Flower Oriental since Kenzo Takada was one of the first Japanese designers
Oh, great idea!
I’m wearing Bal à Versailles parfum today, for sentimental reasons. It was my mother’s evening going out scent. Will wear it again on Saturday for her memorial service.
What? I must be behind the times. So sorry for your loss and may her memory be a blessing.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Cazaubon. Your mom certainly had a elegant evening scent. So nice that you can use this scent to strengthen your memories of her-I use Je Reviens for the same purpose 🙂
I’m very sorry for your loss Cazaubon.
So sorry for the loss of your mother.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Sending hugs!🌹
Your mother had great taste in perfume, hope the memorial will provide some solace for you and your family.
Thank you my friends. She had been ill with Parkinson’s for 18 years but had a sudden decline and passed away very quickly. I am happy that her suffering is over although I miss her very much. She was a wonderful mother and shared with me her love of perfume. Her daytime scents were L’Air du Temps and Shalimar, with Bal à Versailles parfum reserved for special occasions & evenings out. We had so many fun times together and were very close. We wore gallons of Giorgio back in the 80’s :-). Her memory is a great blessing.
She sounds wonderful. My mom was a Ralph Lauren Romance and Estee Lauder Youth Dew lady. I don’t think she did, but I did the whole Giorgio thing back in the days.
So sorry to learn this. Parkinsons is a toughie. I am glad you have wonderful memories and yes, you will miss her very much.
I’m so sorry, cazaubon. Wishing you peace and gosh, I’m just sorry.
💔
Lovely choice. Hope the memorial service is everything you are hoping.
I am sorry about your mom, cazaubon. I hope her perfumes and your memories are a comfort.
I’m really sorry for your sad news and for the big loss you are facing. Wishing you all the best and thinking of you.
Thinking of you this week and glad that fragrance brings your mother close.
So sorry to hear about your Mom. Parkinsons takes far too many people too early.
I’m so sad to hear about your mother. But I do hope the perfume can help keep her there and present for you. I wear Halston for that, with my mom.
Sending you more hugs. It’s so nice you have so many fragrant memories of her.
In Teo Cabanel Barkhane.
Happy Monday! 🌻
Happy Monday pl67!
Thank you, Robin!
I had a hard time deciding what to wear today and finally settled on Replica Jazz Club.
you smell great. I have a small bottle of Jazz Club ..somewhere..
It got pretty bitter last night, down in the teens. It’s the first time I slept all night with the furnace on. Usually I put it on just before bed and after waking to warm the camper up a bit. This rig is able to stabilize temps pretty well and is fairly airtight. There is some cold transfer around window framing, but that’s to be expected. Nothing like the van where I could feel the cold wind making entrance at every single door and window. Since it was so cold last night I left it on to prevent any frozen plumbing as there is a heat duct into the basement area to prevent tanks and valves from freezing.
Greeted this morning by a huge herd of deer with a massive buck leading the way as they came up from the lake bed and disappeared into the trees. By the time I’d gotten my contacts in, they had already gone. Hope they stay within the confines of the park…
Wearing SL Cuir Mauresque today from the tall black bottle which I hate. The bottle, not the perfume. Two solid spritzes to the décolleté and I should be good for the entire day. 👍🏼
Like all smart migratory birds, we’re headed south today, although I expect to be in freezing temps overnight again. This cold front has really blasted deep into the southern area of this state. 🥶
Stay warm, and hope all the sick folks feel better ASAP!
I refuse to buy any SL in the tall bottle – aesthetically, it looks worse than the Montales.
I have not gotten certain Sl’s because of *those bottles,* too. But Cuir Mauresque does call to me.
I don’t like the Montale “cans”, as I call them, either, but some have some pretty good scents.
Well, I must have bad taste because I love those Montalé bottles with the little dangly thing! 😍 I don’t hate the looks of the black bottle, but I DO hate the lack of common sense and functionality. So tippy and easy to knock over. Awkward to use. They weigh about 10 lbs, so when they fall, they’re taking out all their comrades nearby. I hate it almost as much as I hate the Bvlgari Omnia bottle…But somehow, I don’t think SL et al cares about what I think! 😀
I agree about the tall bottles, the size, the stickers!!! Not my taste!!
I don’t mind the gratte ciel bottles, although the tiny black lettering leads to some interesting mistakes in the morning.
But I agree the 100 ml size with the slab of black covering the bottle-I don’t care for that esthetic at all.
The labels are impossible to read!
Your camper has everything! For some reason I didn’t think it could have a furnace. Stay warm!
It was 36 here this morning.
It does have almost everything in a very comfortable compact package. It’s no secret I LOVE it! Imagine, if you will, living in a cardboard box. Now, step up to the doorman at the Ritz, zip up the elevator to the penthouse suite. That’s how I feel about this rig. ❤️
Sounds like the dreaded Polar Vortex is back!
I am in Shiseido Zen (original “black”). We are having our first real cold front of the season. The temps dropped into the 40’s overnight (for the first time since March), and it is currently chilly, drizzly, and windy, so Zen is perfect for a day like this, as it always makes me think of sitting in front of a crackling fire with a mug of hot tea or cider. None of this is a complaint, BTW. Summer way overstayed its welcome this year–a month ago we were still in the 90’s–and we had a horrible drought, so the chilly weather is most welcome, as is the rain.
Heh, imagine Texas being colder than New Jersey. I hope you enjoyed the cold!
It does happen sometimes. Of course, the forecast has us getting back into the low 80’s by the weekend. I did enjoy the cold; I actually slept with the covers over me all night long. Usually, the menopausal furnace is running so hot (I don’t know if that is TMI) that I end up kicking the covers off or sleeping half under/half out, or with just a thin sheet over me, because I am too warm. It’s so rare that I feel cold that when I do, I enjoy the opportunity to wear warm clothing or snuggle up under covers.
Menopausal Furnace twin! 🥵
🤣🤣🤣 at “Menopausal Furnace”! Been there.
Yeah, the menopausal furnace has been running full blast for 10 years now and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. It’s not so much hot flashes per se, although I still get those once in a while, but more that I just feel warm all the time. If I’m one of 15 people in a room that is set for some sort of “average” room temp, 10 people will be comfortable, 4 of them will be too cold, and I’ll be burning up. Naturally, my husband is cold natured, so we have to try to find some sort of compromise where he isn’t freezing and I’m not melting.
The seasons barely exist in their traditional form — I have a rhododendron in bloom! In October! I don’t think this has ever happened here.
Today I am feeling 50% better than yesterday. I think the lingering nausea from the anesthesia has subsided.
I am wearing a “love child” of Shalimar..Le Lion today
You smell great, and I’m glad you’re feeling better.
Nice to hear you’re feeling better!
You’re still smelling great, and glad you’re feeling better. I think I am fighting off something…eating chicken soup and comforting tapioca pudding. I made the pudding with a vanilla bean and it is worth it. I’ll always love vanilla extract, but this was noticeably more aromatic.
Wow. I will be right over with my Tupperware containers 😂
Passing you a bowl! Cook it with the milk and sugar 😉 Minute tapioca is your friend.
So glad you feel better! I have nausea for at least a week after anesthesia.
Great news. Hope you are even better tomorrow…
Hope you continue to feel better and better. I think the nausea is sometimes the worst part!
CdG x H&M today for Rei Kawakubo & the CP. I spent the weekend with sore shoulders and a huge lymph node on the side I had my COVID vaccine on, but otherwise no major effects. I guess the lymph node is evidence that the vaccine is making my body do its job. SO MUCH going on right now…I think the Halloween costume and teen outfit for the wedding are finally taken care of, and I dropped off 87 bags of candy and mandarin oranges with jack o’lantern faces sharpied on at orchestra on Saturday. Still have to get the pumpkins carved tonight, though.
That is what the vaccine looks like working? Wow!
And, c’mon. Stop slacking.😊
I had some lymph nodes puff up with my COVID shots in the past too. Not fun!
I did too.
I am wearing Mitsouko on this cold, dreary Monday.
Today is really dreary here and damp
Cold and dreary around the globe!Rain and windgusts with the promised 20 degree temp drop!Brrr!
I hope you are cuddled up (or have someone to cuddle up with 😉 )
Haha!Thanks,I’m blissfully huddled under my duvet already!(solo….🤣🤣)
Glad to read you are feeling better!
XO’s
Happy Monday!
Iris Poudre for a cold and rainy day.We had the promised temperature plummet today,high was only 11° celcius.So odd for October,but actually nice after weeks of scorching highs!
I’ve never been to Japan,but I love the elegant culture,tea ceremonies and traditional furniture.
You are in my favorite scent. Almost wore it today.
Since it is cool there you could sit down and read a good book like Spare. I still have not read it either😊
I’ll be seeing temps like yours tomorrow, and for the rest of the week.
Grocery store, yoga, laundry and now a walk. And Osmanthe Yunnan. Beautiful.
All good things to have accomplished, and you smelled great doing them 🙂
Post shower some Satori.
I need to reorg the fragrance cabinets.
Gosh, I do too!
I’m wearing Scherrer today for lots of spring green.
Yay for spring green!
Chilly morning today, I chose to sample 4160 Tuesdays My Eau My, from hajusuuri. It’s a really nice choice for a cold day.
My son has decided he’s too old to go trick-or-treating, so I’m a bit out of it with Halloween this year. I heard the new Poirot Venice movie will start streaming on Hulu tomorrow, so perhaps I will get in the mood by watching it!
I might actually not even give out candy this year…I hate to be a grinch about it but we get so few kids anyway these days, and I am just not in a festive mood 🙁
SotD is Shisedo Inoui, since it was sitting on my desk for some reason. A brilliant example of those 70’s green chypres.
I fell into a black hole of depression a couple of weeks ago and am finally climbing out, albeit slowly. I’m glad to be back here! ❤️
ooh, something else I can wear for this week
Glad that you are back!
GROUPHUG!!!
❣️❣️❣️
Aww, thanks, JB!
Sending a fragrant wave – joining the GROUPHUG!
Waves back! 🤗
💙
🧡💛🤎
I ❤️Halloween.
Glad you are starting to feel better! Big hugs.
Thanks, cazaubon. Hugs back!
Adding to the hug pile! Glad to have you back.
Hug pile! Nice. 🥰
Keep climbing. Slow and steady.
💜
I hope to, thanks, Annie!
More hugs! 🌻
More back!
You smell wonderful and I am happy to see you back!
Thanks, sweetie. 😊
Sending even more hugs! And a cozy cup of imaginary tea.
I welcome both! ☺️
I’m jumping in the hug pile!💙
Well..not jumping, more like schooching in 😊
Many thanks, lillyjo; there’s always room for you! 😘
Hope I’m not too late to add in a hug!
Remember: You MATTER and you are valued.
It’s never too late for you, jalapeno. 🤗❤️
Hi AnnE! I have been thinking about you and noticing your absence. I’m glad you’re back💕🌸
Allo, how nice that is to hear. Thank you. ❤️
So glad you are climbing out…it is so hard, isn’t it? Stay well. And drop by even when you’re down, we’ve all been there.
Thank you, dear Robin. If anyone, you know how hard some times in our lives can be. I appreciate your kind words. 💖
Chanel Boy again. After many years of neutral reactions to lavender, I am suddenly a big fan. It may have something to do with the lavender sachets I’ve been using in my closet to repel moths. Or the lavender soap chunks I’ve been storing with my yarn stash (now hermetically sealed in ziplock bags inside of a weatherproof plastic tote container) after the Moth Infestation of 2023. I had to toss 90% of my stash, and I am still reeling from the half disintegrated balls of beautiful cashmere yarn I was going to knit a sweater with this fall. Eaten up by moth larvae. Sigh.
So yeah, loving lavender now. My new best friend.
Every time I wear Pour un Homme I wonder why I don’t wear it more often!Lavender done right is just perfection!
Oh ugh for the moth infestation. All your beautiful yarn!! May it all stay safe from now on.
Oh, no! I feel your pain – all that beautiful cashmere. 😔 No wonder lavender has become a good friend.
Oh no!! Sorry about your yarn stash.
Another day in Royal Secret. I’d guess there is about 4mls left and I’m putting it on the thunk list. I do love it but it is past its prime along the top. Do any of you keep and display your empty bottles? Since falling down the rabbit hole, I think I’ve emptied only one of something or other, and I tossed it.
I do keep some bottles,for different reasons!
28 La Pausa edt was thunked loooong ago,but I still sniff the sprayer every so often(there’s like a ml or 2 left that just would not come out to play!)
ELDO tester bottles,because of the original art works displayed on them.
I’ll never throw out any from my Mom’s collection I inherited,they’re probably the most important personal items from her I kept(to me anyways…)
Thanks, JB! Your comments make perfect sense to me. 🙂
It’s been so long since I’ve thunked a perfume that I don’t know what I would do with an empty bottle!
But ages ago when I did use up perfume, I’m pretty sure that I just threw the bottles away.
BBW Into the Night shower gel and TF Black Orchid. For some reason my scent today feels like it is wearing me.
I will probably wear Gold or Karma.
I am done of those people that need a whole shower gel or soap, lotion, and perfume to match. Doesn’t have to be the same one (yay if it is!) , but the same-ish.
R.I.P. Matthew Perry
Sorry, Kris! Didn’t mean to hijack!
No problem.
TF Black Orchid can blow up on a person sometimes.
I was at the drugstore and the checkout person looked like they wanted me to hurry up with my purchase. When I can really smell it, I know I am probably in trouble.
Banana, Cox apples and yogurt smoothie
Infanta en flor today and tonight American Cream, very calming.
I saw plenty of American Cream goodies during my last LUSH run!
That’s a successful line for sure, I know there is a hair conditioner.
I am late today, I was at the dentist. I am having a root canal next Monday. O joy…
I came home and put on some La Fille de Berlin but I am going to change it, it’s just too much today. Maybe some iris instead.
Oh no. I’m very sorry about the root canal. I had one in the recent past and the experience wasn’t as bad as I had dreaded. The technology they have now is amazing. Also I had a very cute and nice guy who did it.
Good luck with your upcoming root canal!
The only one I’ve had wasn’t as horrible as I thought it was going to be. Gum surgery was much worse.
More condolences!
Wearing Dior Addict for deep cleaning the inside windows and sills. It’s sunny but cold here today; rain is settling in for the rest of the week.
And you smell good while you’re doing it! I need to do that, too. Got any tips?
Thanks AnnE! Sometimes you have to distract yourself with a good fragrance to get through.
I hand-washed the windows with a small bit of liquid soap (dish soap or something similar) and warm water mix; then squeegee it mostly off. I then sprayed the window with 50/50 mix of water and vinegar and hand-dried with an old lint-free tea towel.
When I was done with the windows, I went back and washed the sills down with the same water/soap mix.
Thanks, Gail! You know what, it helps to know that someone else is doing this onerous task as well. 😉
You’re welcome! 😊
Ew, I *hate* cleaning windows! Good for you taking on that Herculean task.
Thank you. It looks much better!
I finished off a sample of Di Ser Kazehikaru for the CP today. Di Ser is a Japanese brand and their perfumes all appear to be inspired by Japan. Here’s what they say about Kazehikaru: Japan’s northenmost territory, Hokkaido is a land of rugged natural beauty, four-season weather, and pioneer spirit, where the winds blow strong and free. It’s the scents carried on that wind that inspire Kazehikaru, the native flowers and trees of Hokkaido’s rocky coastlines and towering, forest-covered mountains, a collection of flora that teems with vibrant, wild beauty- a distinctly Japanese combination of refinement and energy.
It can read a bit cleaning product at times in the early stage but is overall a pleasant astringent citrusy scent with yuzu, neroli, shiso, and vetiver among other notes.
In a couple hours I’ll be getting my flu shot and the latest Covid booster. I took tomorrow and Wednesday off (not just for this purpose) so should have plenty of time to rest and recover if my previous COVID shots are indicative of this one too.
Hope that the side effects from your shots aren’t too bad.
Thank you! Not feeling too bad so far so fingers crossed.
I have never tried anything by Di Ser, did you love any of them?
Good luck with the shots!
This is the only one of theirs I’ve tried, but I’d like to try more. And thanks!
Aha, thanks.
Claiming a CP point in LAP’s À Fleur de Pêche. On me it smells like a just ripen peach cut in half, with a cup of jasmine tea.
Today’s tea is a strong malty black tea called Celebration that has tiny lucky-charms style marshmallows mixed in. Ridiculous, but fun.
I was ready to make some purchases from Indigo today to take advantage of their anniversary sale, but every bottle I was considering was already sold out. ☹️ You snooze, you lose I guess.
Wow, I bet you smell lovely! Have not tried that one yet.
Your SOTD sounds really pretty!
I like that it is a delicate peach note with just a bit of sweetness/juiciness. Some of the other peach frags I’ve tried lately are too over-ripe or syrupy for me.
I can see that happening with peach notes, getting sickly sweet or cloying. And strawberry.
Are you continuing to show the house this week? I found that to be the hard part — it is one thing to occupy yourself on a weekend afternoon while the open house is going on, but having to vacate at random times on weekdays for individual showings is annoying
Given the number of offers that we have, today may have been the last of it.
That’s great! Congrats
Thank you! Having to bug out of the house is a nuisance for sure.
And we didn’t need to have an Open House. Teflon kitty doesn’t travel well, so taking her with us wasn’t an option.
YAY.
Ooh that L’Artisan sounds really nice.
Finally cooling off here and liking the weather change.
Candy Corn Day seems like an excuse for me to stock up:)
Sotd SL Rousse, perfect for fall & winter:)
Still 3 spots left in the Chanel 1957 split if anyone wants in..just shoot an email if you want any of the remainder spots:)
Do you eat from the top, bottom or the entire thing? When I do, I pop the entire thing in my mouth, because they are not chocolate rabbits 🤣.

Note: You may hit a paywall…
I’m working tonight and surrounded by a cloud of Cinnabar. I smell glorious.
Yes you do!
And you are picking up my perfumed slack.
You sure do, lillyjo!
You do, you do!
I’m checking in very late to report my CP scent, which is Keiko Mecheri Ume. I forget to wear this but it’s a very pretty scent. Yesterday I got my second Shingles shot. I’ve been lazy today but the reaction isn’t too bad, except for a sore arm. Our weather changed drastically overnight and has been very gloomy. My cats are keeping close.
Thanks for concerns about my friend’s cat Morton. He’s still at the vet and still battling pneumonia with a high fever. She’s worried. Like me, she has multiple cats—double digits. But he’s her favorite.
Sending out good thoughts for Morton.
Posting late again today.
As of this morning, we had 3 offers. There might be at least one more coming down the pike. This after 3 days of showings. Robin, your “offers mojo” is incredibly potent!
I was also feeling “not right” earlier today physically. I wonder if I am coming down with something. I had been in 2 crowded restaurants over the weekend… So I have brought out the Emergen-C and will be drinking that for a few days.
SOTD = commando, except for Korres Grecian Gardenia on my shins.
Hooray for the offers! I hope Emergen-C does the job.
Thank you! Things are moving incredibly fast.
Hope you’re feeling better! And congratulations on the offers.
Feeling much more like myself this evening, thanks! But I will still do about a week of Emergen-C.
Sounds like your house will be selling soon!
Hope you feel better. Drink fluids and get rest.
Yeah. Sooner than either one of us expected.
Thank you Kris. I took it easy today. No cooking or cleaning at all.
Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks lillyjo!
SO glad about your offers! Keeping my fingers crossed.
And hope you will manage to evade whatever is trying to get you…
Thank you Robin! Still not feeling right as of Halloween afternoon.
Oh boo.
Congratulations on all the offers! Best of luck through the rest of the process.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well, but my body tends to break down a bit after a long period of stress. Hope the C helps, and grab your rest when you can!
Thanks AnnE!
Glad to hear about the offers, if not the sickness.
Thank you ockeghem!
The occasional coughing bouts are beginning to annoy me.
That’s really good news about the house. Hope you can fight off whatever you are coming down with.
Thanks Aurora!
I used a home COVID test earlier today, and it came up negative. I will retest tomorrow.
I dug out my cold weather OB, Seville a l’Aube, and it hit the spot for me today. Adorable hubby seems to have gotten the irritating drugs out of his system, but he is still having trouble with his digestive system. He won’t get to come until he’s eating food and processing it successfully, so to speak. But, in some essential way, he just looks better,
Glad he’s on the mend!
Good news!
Oh, looking better is good news. Hope he is home soon.
Fingers crossed!
Very late to the party but made it!
SOTD = Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu EDP
I have a travel size spray from one of the gray market sites. It is wonderful. I have decided to wear Japanese brands (of which I may only have one from a stash I would wear) and/or anything with incense.
Toodles until tomorrow.
How many different Valentino Uomo ‘fumes do you have? Inquiring minds want to know!
Toodles!
