Happy Almost-Friday and happy Winter Solstice! 10 more days to go for 2023. Birthdays: Rebecca West, Frank Zappa, Samuel L Jackson. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm wearing my favorite fragrance buy of 2018, Aftelier Candide.
Reminder: 12/22 will be Best Buy Friday...wear your favorite fragrance purchase of 2023. If you didn't buy anything this year, pick a favorite from a prior year. (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 usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Hi everyone!
As you may remember I’ve been trying to get into perfumery school for years and almost got there in 2019. This year Givaudan finally announced a new recruitment, first one since then, and sadly I got rejected from further steps after recording a 1st video interview. This is not my month for sure 🙁
Seeking some comfort now.
I am so sorry! How frustrating. I know <nothing about perfumery school so have no advice; just sending wishes for happier days ahead (and big fragrant clouds of joy).
Oh, what a shame! Do you have any constructive criticism from them as to why you didn’t progress further, things you could do to increase your chances in the future? Or do you have the learning and the wherewithal to set out on your own, without formal training? Lots of precedent for that!
Nope, just got an automated email without any explanation.
I’m sorry. It’s so hard when you experience a form of rejection. Take some time to recover, and try again-one thing I’ve learned as I get older is this: there are more opportunities than first seems apparent.
Take care, and you have all my sympathy,
Carole
I am so sorry to hear that you didn’t advance. How disappointing! Attending perfumery school at Givaudan sounds so exciting. Fingers crossed there’s still an opportunity out there for you. 🙂
Ugh! Hopefully, the next class will be soon!
Oh, that must be crushing! I’m so sorry.
Sending you a consoling hug. It’s tough news, especially this time of year.
So sorry you didn’t get in! Hopefully more opportunities will open up for you soon.
I’m so sorry.
You have fragrant friends here who never judge.
I’m sorry lucasai.
This has been a very difficult year for you, and now more disappointment. I am so sorry. Sending hugs and wishes for better times ahead for you.
That’s so disappointing. I wonder who they were searching for to fill the available positions as you are so well-qualified, with proven passion for perfumery. The automated rejection was shoddy, as I know you would have thought carefully and put a lot of preparation in for your application. I hope you can see past all this and keep believing in yourself. And I hope next year opens new doors for you.
So sorry to hear this. Sending you big hugs.
I’m very sorry to hear that, and I think it’s terrible not to say why, when the application process clearly requires a lot of work.
I’m so sorry, lucasai, how disappointing. I agree with Kanuka; that was a very shoddy rejection. I hope you find some comfort and are able to enjoy the holidays. Are there any other avenues open to you? Another school, or training, perhaps?
I am so sorry that it didn’t go your way.
I’m so sorry about the disappointment, Lucas. I hope a new opportunity presents itself to you in the coming year.
So sorry for the disappointment. As someone who knows nothing about the process, it seems odd to do a video recording
The previous time I was being recruited it wasnt a part of the process.
But this time it was, I received a link to the platform where I would turn my audio and video on and get recorded as questions were appearing on screen. Like an interview but you weren’t talking to the employer directly.
I hate this. What a horrible inhumane method. I wonder if anyone even watched the video, or if they let AI do it.
I’m so sorry. I hope you continue on, even with the disappointment you’re feeling now.
I agree, it was a terrible way to notify you without any explanation.
So sorry, Lucas. I hope you continue on in some way.
I’m so sorry, Lucas. You are very talented and your time will come. Perhaps unexpected opportunities will be right around the corner as you wait for acceptance to the school.
So sorry to hear about this. I know how much perfumery school means to you.
So sorry Lucasai, that must be quite a blow. Fingers crossed for you that you find another way.
Today I’m in Yves Rocher Orange et Chocolat, their limited-edition Christmas scent from I think 2010. It’s exactly what it says on the label, and it’s so endearing.
But what isn’t endearing is that Terry’s Chocolate Oranges are no longer called that, at least not in Canada, because they aren’t chocolate any more: they’re “chocolatey confection” because part of the cocoa butter has been replaced by cheaper vegetable fat, and so they’re just Terry’s Oranges. I mean, not in my household they’re not, because I’m not buying them any more. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered this! Another Christmas tradition shot to hell.
I couldn’t find seasonal life savers, either.
Those were a huge part of my childhood Christmas memories. I hope they didn’t stop making them all together…😕
I recently read somewhere that the Lifesavers Christmas edition was discontinued. That made me really sad! They were a tradition in our house.
I found a Christmas book of Lifesaver rolls, but they were all fruit assortment.
That’s good! I remember them being assorted flavors when we were kids. Sadly, I found the report of the discontinuation. It’s linked below.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/life-savers-story-book-christmas-sale-stop-1.7057562
I remember getting those Christmas Lifesavers books as a kid. It was a favorite, except for the Butter Rum flavor. Those I gave to my Dad.
We still have the chocolate version but I will look out for the impostor versions as they will probably turn up eventually.
My favourite purchase of 2023 is Voskanian Histoire d’une Rose.
I have so many things to do today, getting some gifts, cooking, cleaning etc.
I am making Armenian Christmas pudding with wheat, dried fruits, spices and rose water.
It is a long process that takes 3 days, usually my mom makes it but this year i decided to take over. We will see how it goes!!!
Good luck! Let us know. 😉
Very interested in hearing how your Armenian Christmas pudding comes out!
That sounds delicious!
Almost Friday IS my Friday! And the next 3 weeks will be 3 day work weeks for me due to Christmas, new years, and my birthday. No, my birthday is not a holiday but I took the day off anyway!🤣
I’m in Lea again. This evening, on this shortest day of the year, I am headed to a candlelight barre class. Really looking forward to it.🕯️
Then tomorrow, the days start getting longer! Hooray!!
I love the idea of a candlelight barre class!
Me too!😀 I signed up weeks ago and have been counting the days.
Yes to longer days! One step closer to Spring!🌻🌞
Yes! Only 6 months until your birthday!🌻🌞
Happy FriYAY to you!
Good morning all,
My SOTD is Asja from Fendi, spices, resins, orris, Benzoin and amber.
Today is my Friday, we’re on break starting from 12/22/23-1/2/24, I need the break and have a few books I’m looking forward to reading over the holiday.
We received a nice holiday message (and several holiday parties) from our Dean, being in a new department has some nice surprises! We’re headed to the Brother and Sister in law’s house on Saturday, I’m getting the ingredients for my potato cheese casserole which I volunteered to bring. Looks like I might have a new year’s resolution after all, carbs and more carbs! 🙂
Yay to break and yum to your potato cheese casserole! 😋
I love your SOTD and congrats on the new dept – I hope it continues well! (Carbs are a favorite around here. 😉 )
Your potato cheese casserole sounds yummy! Enjoy the break.
Happy friYAY, folks! Returned to civilization from the great desert wilderness yesterday and picked up my mail, finally! Lots of goodies in that 12x12x12 box! Overnighted at a casino which must be right on the flight route of fighter jets from the near by Air Force base. Woken at 7am with sonic booms and tremendously loud engines. T-Rex was not a fan. 🛩️
Wearing Divine Essential Vanilla this morning. I have smelled this in the wild at some point or another because it’s very familiar. Or I may have sampled it way back in the day when I was on vanilla quest to find something to replace my long gone Vanilla Lace. It’s quite nice- not overly sweet or cup-cakey, there’s something that lifts it so it’s not heavy like many other vanillas. I could easily wear this in the summer. A travel size is perfect as I don’t need any more full bottles. (Talking to my wallet there. I have to pacify it with some insincere declarations of frugality!😉) This is a contender for my trip to Bordeaux in April. I want to bring just a single fragrance that can fit any and and all occasions and it must be travel friendly. What I don’t like is there is no cap, so the spritzer could easily be depressed accidentally in my carry on or backpack. 🤔
Later, we are off to our “Holiday Home” for Christmas amongst the saguaro giants. 🌵So looking forward to it. Here’s a nice bird house saguaro in the casino parking lot.

I have “things” to do this weekend but I’m not making a list because I’m hoping these things will just disappear of their own volition.
If they’re not on an official list, they don’t exist, right? Right! 😀
I’m with you on the absence of list-making. I hope your Christmas house is beyond the boom of jet planes, and you can nestle in and enjoy the peace. I like the photo of the bird nest…the kingfishers here make burrows like that in some softer barked trees and mud banks.
LOL — that is exactly why I do have a list, and even then…
but I salute your creativity, that is the way to go.
Today I am wearing Yvresse aka Champagne, a good thematic choice for this season. It has a real fizz to it.
Perfect choice.
Love that one. Yes, perfect choice!
That one sounds like it would be perfect for New Year’s Eve, too.
The 2023 countdown continues with the glorious AG Heure Exquise, 1980s version. This one *just* missed being my Friday CP pick by less than a smidge.
(It most emphatically does not match today’s Lucinda Williams tshirt & snakeskin boots. Nah, scratch that, it goes with everything!)
I love that you’re loving Heure Exquise so much! 💕
I really do. It is pretty much perfect.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ You read the room with spectacular accuracy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love Lucinda Williams!
She is one of the greats.
Oh yeah. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road is a classic album.
Heure Exquise is beautiful. I thunked a decant of that in record time.
I am in my same SOTD from yesterday and the day before-boring!
Off to get my flu shot
Hope the shot is not memorable 🙂
Another drizzly day. Yesterday our summer solstice “high” was 12C (53F) and I was in my flannel shirt all day. A two hour drive away it will be around 30C so our town empties over Christmas as lots of people leave to search out summer temperatures for their long holidays (3 or 4 weeks). It’s like a ghost town here. One of the lovely things about my last weekend away was walking through paddocks of flowering briar roses and lupins. The large clumps of spreading wild lupins smell like clover and the briar roses are very sweet, like raspberry jam heating on a stove ( just like roses jam perfume). The vipers bugloss was also flowering so there were lots of nice contrasts between the yellowish parched paddocks, the mauve and pinks of the lupins, and the cornflower blues of the bugloss…and then the turquoise sparkling glacial lakes. I’m wearing Ambre des Merveilles , to add a bit of warmth to the day.
There is nowhere like Central Otago!
That all sounds lovely, except for the flannel shirt! Mind you I love flannel shirts but not in summer.
Full bottle of Eau des Sens was my best buy for 2023. I’ve loved the scent but have only ever purchased travel sized and this year I went for full commitment. I think it’s the juniper in this that I’ve grown so fond of.
Heading to Paris for Christmas! Very excited and would love any new perfume shopping recs. We don’t have a lot planned which is intentional. The plan is to meander and enjoy the beauty of Paris at Christmas.
🎄 🎄🎄
How exciting. I hope everything goes smoothly and you find lots of interesting things.
I love your plan for Paris. Have a great time!
Oooh…yay to Christmas in Paris and perfume shopping!
What a lovely holiday plan! Enjoy!
Christmas in Paris, how fun! I did that one year, but it was a long time ago, so I know nothing about new shops, sorry. Just be sure to bring a warm raincoat and umbrella. But maybe you’ll get snow! Hope you have a great time!
Wow! Your Xmas plans sound amazing.
Wearing 4160 Tuesdays Captured by Candlelight for holiday coziness. Yay for hitting the shortest day of the year and longer days to come from here on out!
Enjoy your longer days!
Hurray for longer days coming! It’s a bummer seeing the sun go down so early.
I’m wearing DSH December Holiday No. 10 today because I recently ordered some fun samples from DSHPerfumes.
Breakfast on the Go – one of her one-of-a-kind UPCYCL fragrances. Lots of orange in this one. It’s light and pleasant.
Vanilla Nog – I expected nutmeg and cream but it’s a bit too buttery for a while for my taste.
December Holiday No. 10 – this one is WONDERFUL (sorry to shout). It’s got the pines and the incense and some warm spices in the drydown. It’s not gourmand, but it’s got a subtle sweetness that I really appreciate. So lovely. And will likely be a FB buy for me at some point. Thanks to 50_Roses (I think it was you) for the rec.
If you’re into yoga, FiveParksYoga has a very nice (and free) Winter Solstice practice for the day.
https://youtu.be/_DYB1wPprD8?si=yk4JeDcdFhZH6RwU
I love Five Parks Yoga!
Yay — me, too.
No. 10 is going on the list. Sounds lovely.
If/when I get a bottle, I can send you a sample!
Oh how nice! That would be wonderful. 🤗
I’ve been on the DSH website a few times, and quickly get overwhelmed by the immenseness of it all.
Yes, it’s fun, but huge.
It’s my last working day of the year! It’s been constant upheaval and frustration at work with huge organisational changes. I’ve been struggling for weeks to get information about the people reporting to me, and I’ve finally discovered that I’ve been moved to a different payroll, so none of the HR systems show me as their manager. Onwards and upwards 🙂
Perfume-wise, I’m wearing L’Heure Attendue, another of this year’s FOMO purchases of the discontinued Patous.
Wow. That is frustrating!
Hope 2024 gets you quickly settled!
You smell wonderful. That was a successful FOMO purchase for me, too. Glad you solved at least *one* work problem; I feel better just thinking about your getting some time off ’till the New Year! Enjoy!!
Enjoy your well=deserved time off!
Gosh, I will just echo Jalapeno … you deserve a vacation!
Wearing copious amounts of Coco Mademoiselle today. Just finished stocking stuffer shopping today along with getting my dogs their Christmas gift today. Somehow I managed to get Christmas Eve off and I will probably visit my grandmother in skilled nursing. Tomorrow it will be the LADDM flanker but can’t remember it’s name tomorrow.
Yay, glad you are off and will be able to visit your grandmother!
SotD is Dusita’s La Rhapsodie Noire. This one fascinates me!
Then it must be fascinating 🙂
🤩
My SOTD is Amouage Lineage. It’s among my favorites that I’ve found this year, though I can’t say I’ve worn it a lot because all I have is a small spray sample. I haven’t yet sprung for the daunting price of a full bottle, $360.
The scent profile on Fragrantica lists a lot of notes I don’t really experience. They call it a spicy ginger amber scent. To me what stands out is the pepper and something pleasantly sweet, perhaps benzoin or frankincense. I have caught aspects of it wafting out around me as if they belong to unexplored parts of the environment. This makes it a fascinating perfume to wear, and I’m pretty determined to get some.
Where did you find a sample of Amouage Lineage?
Dinner was avocado, green salad and pasta. Réminiscence Héliotrope today and tonight Cotswold Perfumery Cymbeline.
Avocado is one of those foods that is delicious when ripe and absolutely horrible when not.
In Fischersund No. 101 with all of its green goodness. This was another happy find in 2023.
“withered grass” is a note you don’t encounter all that often…
Also, I was unfamiliar with Fischersund did *not* see the Sigur Rós connection coming. I feel compelled to investigate further, ideally on site.
Please report back on all of your research! I found out about him and the brand at our local Nordic Heritage Museum.
Ah, the NHM connection makes sense.
I’m a low-level Sigur Rós fan. And it definitely explains the brand’s whole conceptual multimedia take on perfume. Each bottle comes with its own sound piece via QR code and they’ve even released a scent tied to their European tour. Which I find amusing. (And notably, for international shipping they send everything first to their warehouse in the U.S.)
Now if only I could go do some one the ground research in Reykjavik…
Oooh, intrigued! I hadn’t heard of this before, and I am a Sigur Rós and Iceland fan. Definitely stopping in the shop the next time we go through Reykjavik.
I like that they do the scents in different formats — doesn’t have to be the $$$ full bottle. Definitely easier to travel with the solid, too.
I’m wearing Krizia Teatro Alla Scala. It doesn’t fit the CP but I wanted something especially “perfumey” today and this very much is. It is a big ’80s perfume with a load of civet. I love it.
I bet you smell fantastic!
I just love perfumey perfume.
You would love it, lillyjo. Email me if you’d like a sample.
TAS is one of my favorites – you smell wonderful and festive.
Bought Black Walnut earlier this year. It’s an interesting scent but not an easy reach
I was intrigued by that one. We have lots of black walnut trees around our neighborhood. The smell of the green nuts enlivens my senses in an enjoyable way, but is puzzling and, eventually, too much.
I was impressed that John Biebel took it on.
The first time I saw a walnut which had fallen off the tree, I didn’t know what it was. It looked like an undersized tennis ball.
Jo Malone Orange Blossom and a cup of Nilgiri Winter Frost Black Tea.
You smell delightful – Orange Blossom is my fave JM.
Thank you Spiderplant !
SOTD is my favorite purchase of 2023: Laboratorio Olfattivo’s Vanagloria. I’ll wear it again tomorrow, too!
I need to decide on tomorrow…glad you have an easy pick!
I’m in CSP Amour de Cacao today. It has a bit of orange in it too, so it’s similar to the Terry’s Chocolate Orange, along with a slight biscuity note.
My hubby’s parents still like to do stocking stuffers for us. I bet there will be a Terry’s in there!
I still have to get stocking stuffers. I’ve only have socks so far. I will get candy hopefully tomorrow.
Stocking stuffers are so fun. I just feel bad because my hubby’s Dad doesn’t get around too good anymore. But you can’t tell him to stop, because he won’t listen!
Hope you find some suitable candy tomorrow.
That’s adorable your hubby’s parents do stocking stuffers.
It is. Plus he still calls us “the kids”. I guess we are!
A day off running around doing errands. I am now on my 4th return of thermal back curtains. This time it was because the description said thermal back but in reality there was no backing at all. By the time I actually find some I like, it will be spring.
I’m wearing YSL Libre edt from a sample. Yesterday I stopped a lady to ask what she was wearing and this was it. ( although I didn’t ask the concentration) I really liked it on her. I am not sure about on me. I will say that it seems to last forever.
On the thermal-backed curtains, there are several types of backing but if the packaging says thermal-backed, there better be backing!
Exactly! I could see right through them. Either the description was wrong or the warehouse sent me the wrong item. I’m about to order one last time.
You know what I am going to say – get thee to a Target…
“Running around doing errands” twins today!
I remember finding curtains I liked was a total PITA. Don’t have to worry about them where I am going; the apartment has blinds.
I have blinds but I need something to keep the draft out.
Ah. I used to see kits for sealing windows with a plastic film for the winter.
For the CP, the close runner-up for best buy of 2023: Angel Muse. I’m in the edp today, but I love both the edp and the edt. The changes at Mugler made me pay close attention to discussions here and several other blogs about various special editions and flankers of Alien and Angel. Quite a few were still around last year and earlier this year at normal prices – even at TJX. Thank you everyone who wore and mentioned the Muses – you made me buy it, and it was an instant love. I am behind on comments – will try to catch up tomorrow. Fragrant hugs to all.
Angel Muse EdP is a great pick for Christmastime!
I unwrapped a bottle of Uncle Serges Ecrin de Fumee to clean the house and do laundry.
You know you are in the right place here when you see this on a website sale, purchase it at LAX, text your friend who is watching your house while you are in Africa and asks her to deliver it to your home after having it delivered to her home
Does this count as a travel purchase? or a regular purchase since technically the plane hadn’t left yet?
Why did I forget to grab Box of Eels in Paris?
So many questions.
It counts as a perfect on the fly purchase no matter what!
And that just means you need to go back to Paris 🙂
Still commando today. I had a running assessment this morning, so wasn’t planning to put anything on until after. And then in the midst of my 8 a.m. meeting my spouse texts me asking what’s going on at the school because it was surrounded with police at dropoff. Open my email to find an email from school administration in all caps telling us not to bring our kids to school. Kids with early off-timetable classes were already at school and sheltering in place, and Ockeghem Teen was texting with them but no one knew anything.
Turns out she’s studying the technology of warfare in Socials, specifically the muskets used in the 18th century and how poorly they aimed. And…one of the teachers came to school this morning with a 5-ft vintage musket to help demonstrate. Another teacher saw him from inside the school and called 911. Apparently he was as surprised as anyone when the SWAT team entered his classroom where he was sheltering and took him down. Whoops.
More excitement than I needed today. But back to normal now. Mr. Ockeghem is grading final exams and someone referred to the “angus dei”…cow of God? 🙂 Maybe I will pull out my sample of Cow tonight.
Yikes! Definitely the wrong kind of excitement for you today.
Omg! That’s just ridiculous! What a way to give every parent heart failure!
Angus Dei! Mr. Christlieb, my HS Latin teacher, is rolling over in his grave. I am laughing…
My goodness.
Another crazy busy day today. But! I have almost cleaned out my last storage unit. The only things left in it are a small table, a cat condo, and a set of heavy duty shelves I need to finish breaking down.
So I treated myself to a Shake Shack burger for dinner. Should have grabbed 2 of them, since I worked up an appetite. But $7.35 for a burger is pricey!
SOTD = commando, except for Dame Perfumery Orange Flower body butter in the usual spots.
Treats are essential under the circumstances. I endorse treats.
Hopefully I can get another small treat in before the movers show up.
When is your official moving day?
The movers are going to be here on the 27th and 28th.
Heh! I would have gone for two! On my day in the City day, we had dinner at a French restaurant in midtown. It was very unassuming. The burger was $26 and I did not get it because it would not be cost effective by $1 if I went for the prix fixe …
I did not realize at the time I was that hungry! I wolfed down the one burger I did get, and shared a teeny bit with Teflon kitty.
Did your $26 burger have truffles on it? Or was it made of Wagyu beef?
$26.00! Did it come with fries?
I’m pretty sure it did!
I love Shake Shack, but yeah, it is not cheap fast food. Congrats on getting so much done Jalapeno!
Oops it’s getting late, and I just remembered I haven’t reported in. Maybe I should have saved this for tomorrow, but I am in the crowd favorite of the year, Shalimar MI today. Smelling so good!
You can wear it tomorrow too! It’s probably my most practical buy as it’s so easy to wear.
Yes, very good point! I was actually considering it but my two very recent purchases just arrived so fast that I might wear one or both of them tomorrow!
Commando today as I’ve been being stalked by a migraine for a few days now. Flying solo tonight as Biscuit is with his dad, but I’m planning a solstice ‘bonfire’ in my fireplace and a nice soak later with some Dr. Haushka Spruce Bath.
Ugh. Sorry to hear that you are dealing with a migraine.
That bath sounds like just the thing! I hope it kicks your migraine to the curb…👊🏻
SOTD = Guerlain Iris Pallida Extrait
Iris 🤍🤍🤍

I also just realized that I have more perfume loves that can fit into one week. It is a good problem to have. 🤣
Wow! Time flew. We’re almost at Christmas – 4 days away! It is discombobulating when there are so many weekends for targeted 🛍️.
Time certainly did fly! I could have sworn that Halloween was last week…
So true! I still have some Halloween decors out but they have now become part of regular decors.
It did come up fast. Even with an early Thanksgiving.
The ever-changing Thanksgiving date is the cause, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Yes. It’s fun, but huge.
Whoops. Obviously didn’t mean to post that here!
