We’re marking the last weekend in January with our standard open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you're waiting for in the mail, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

Hello everyone!! Happy Saturday!! I’m in Jubilation 25 Woman. I ordered several samples that last a good amount of time but most notably for me (haha) I ordered a Jubilation 25 10ml x 4 travel set. I haven’t opened it yet because I still have the samples. This set will last me a long time with this perfume.
I also ordered Epic Woman sample the other week and really enjoyed it. It had a little bit of a connection to Chasing Scents Weeping Rose (of which I also have a bottle) and Weeping Rose has a connection to Tumults by Christian Lacroix which in turn smelled like rose jam Polish donuts. A scent of my childhood. But Epic was it’s own perfume. Very high quality. Very oriental quality. Or floriental. Now today I’m expecting a sample of Epic 56 extract and cannot wait. Oh also regular Epic had less of a rose jam (which I love) but more of a rose gummy. Which I also love. I’m expecting (and hoping) Epic 56 has an even more prominent rose gummy note. Plus spices and wood and incense of course.
Last week I also came in possession of a Orris Wakan bottle. My first attar ever. I was shocked because two small dabs equaled wearing a few sprays of perfume overall. It stayed kind of close to skin but still gave an overall impression of being sprayed with perfume and gave that trail and appearance. I was shocked to discover how apricoty-peachy it was. But also how it bloomed on my skin. The Orris concrete or butter was very very clean. No not earthy (which I love) not rooty (which I love) but very clean like some pure iris oil (or butter) idk how to even describe it. But I loved it. It smelled like clear iris butter, with apricot – peaches. And then it smelled like that clean iris and apricoty-peach blossom blooming. I loved it. I’m just so excited I got into Amouage. I also need to try Lyric.
Jubilation 25 is wonderful. It took me a while to fall in love with Jubilation. Epic is gorgeous and Epic 56 is even better yet. I am thinking about getting the exceptional extraits sample set later on.
I spent 10 days in Poland early Dec. I had a Paczki (jelly donut) every day 😄. Many different flavors like prune, pumpkin butter, chocolate, but my favorite was the rose jam! Weeping Roes sounds delightful.
Rose marmalade/jam (or konfitura in Polish) Paczki (Donuts) are my best memory of Poland from childhood. It’s just got this special aroma/taste to it and I love it so. Weeping Rose has that rose jam donut “aftertaste” in a scent. By the way how did You like Poland?
I loved it! Gdańsk, Warsaw and Cracow. It was cold but I’m a hardy MN so I was properly dressed. We loved the food and the Christmas markets.
I loved the Christmas markets too. Wow You are a hardy!! I haven’t seen snow since I moved out of Poland in childhood and lived in FL ever since.
You have some beautiful choices there. Definitely try Lyric, as well. I think it’s also beautiful.
Yes it’s the next one on my list to try.
I still have to hunt down my Jubilation sample. Don’t have any other Amouage samples. A bit leery of starting exploration of a new house with expensive perfumes! Oh, the agony and ecstasy of being a perfumista.
Haha so true. If You’d like I can send You a sample of it. Carded.
Thank you! That’s so kind to offer. 😂 I placed a sample order not long after my comment.
Oh ok:) 🤣
You must try Lyric….I think it is my favorite, but hard to pick since they are all so wonderful.
In a way just in a way it was almost hard to pick between Gold and Jubilation 25 but I knew in my heart (and was right) Jubilation 25 W would take the cake after wearing it for a day.
Today I’m out running errands in late-nineties Guerlain Samsara, a luminous halo of jasmine and sandalwood. The original ads read, “A sense of serenity”, and that’s exactly what it confers.
I did not know that was the Samsara tag line! I like it.
I’m wafting Kerosene Broken Theories this morning, while not at all looking forward to a day in the garage breaking down all the formerly soaked (and hopefully now dried out) cardboard boxes that are casualties of our recent burst pipe. Thankfully, it continues to appear that the damage is limited to the garage ceiling and one wall — phew!
Yikes – am sorry you have to deal with that.
Such a bummer, glad it wasn’t worse!
File under “could be worse”, right?
Hope that everything dried out OK.
Awake at 3:50am, such a drag. But I’m very pleased with my massive purge yesterday, it feels good to clear out the clutter. Wearing Lost Cherry.
One of the things I did was throw away a big accumulation of perfume boxes piled up behind my shoe racks. A few of them had bottles inside, which were moved to the backup bins where they belong. The two backup bins are full now, yikes. This is why I’m on a no buy……
Darn, sorry about being awake at 3:50am, I know the feeling. Great job on your purging!
Thanks, I was on a roll!
Hope you’ll have an early night, well done on on the reorganization, I have quite a few backups myself.
I had more than I remembered. Time to spritz with wild abandon!
Going to bed at 9 tonight for sure.
I don’t keep the perfume boxes either, even though some are lovely and I know it adds to resale value. I just don’t have the space. If I ever want to resell, oh, well.
I’ve gotten too lazy to resell. It’s such a production not to mention risky nowadays, with scammers everywhere and online marketplaces reporting your sales to the IRS.
Lucky Scent has FREE shipping this weekend only. Code WEEKEND
NO minimum, includes samples!!
Thank you!
Thank you! Tacking on an extra $7-8 really dissuades me from sampling, sometimes. (Okay, maybe that’s not a bad thing.)
me too.
again, I could just drive on over there, but no.
L’Artisan Timbuktu. Sample thunk! Forgot to thunk last night before bed so now I’m behind. This one has NOT gone off and smells delightful. Very light with almost no throw considering I dumped the entire contents of the vial…
We’re heading north through Nevada today and it’s windy AF. Hoping to squeak through higher elevations without any major weather issues. I looked at every route to take because this is a tricksy time of year, but wanted to avoid California completely. Hoping we don’t get snow/sleet/frozen mix.😬
Stay cozy, January is almost over!!
Be careful out there.
Will do!
Why are you avoiding California?
Probably because our gas is $$$$.
Ha!!!
I filled up for 3.95 per gallon the other day.
First time under 4 in long time.
Wow!! Crazy!!
Safe travels Deva.
Thank you! So far so good! 🤞🏼
Stay safe!
Thanks! Part of my drive was a white knuckler, but I stayed safe! Only once did I feel the back end start to swing into the opposite lane.🫣
Aahhhh! Glad you made it!
Keep at the Thunking Deva!! I’m with you!!
👯♀️ We are the Thunking Twins! 🎼 (sung to ABBA’s Danving Queen)
Haha!! Love tgat song!! But your version is even better!!
Safe travels, Deva! Last year when we were traveling back home from Florida, I was the route planner and navigator. In Nevada, we took the I95 all the way up. It was a pretty good road with minimal elevation changes; that was one of the first criteria I looked for when planning the trip!
That makes sense if you’re trying to get home asap!
Ha! Yes, I sure was! I hope you landed in a good spot.

I got a stomach bug earlier this week so wasn’t feeling too well, I’m better as of yesterday.
Glad you are feeling better, lucasai.
Good to hear you’re feeling better
Your photo today was particularly beautiful!
Glad you’re feeling better.
Gorgeous photo!
Sweet photo
I am just waiting for a candle and foaming hand soap package from Bath and Body Works and a package from Harry and David. Got some chocolate covered bing cherries and haven’t had them in about 4 years.
Had a wicked craving for vintage Mitsouko and in the vintage parfum and loving every minute of it.
You smell wonderful.
Chocolate covered Bing cherries sound marvelous!
Hello everyone!
I got up early to finish my lab report that I put off. I’m deep in chemistry before having breakfast! I have the same lab at 1pm so I have plenty of time.
My professor is Italian so I’ve been wearing some Italian perfumes to lab, just for the fun of it. Today is Paestum Rose, which I don’t wear nearly enough.
Have a great weekend everyone!
You smell wonderful!
Ah, Paestum Rose is lovely & you smell great, Coumarin. We are brand twins because I wore Baume du Doge to bed last night. Those two are my fave Eau d’Italies.
Fueguia 1833 Xocoatl Eau de Parfum
It’s become my signature scent these days
I’d like to hear that name pronounced!
I did have a student named Xochi recently.
Happy weekend everyone!
Today I’m wearing Angel Muse because I’ve been craving it.
Question: why do people collect empty perfume bottles? I really want to know. I think I’m fascinated because my own storage space is so limited in my tiny old house for full perfume bottles, let alone empties. In doing a search on a couple of online platforms, it was surprising to me how many people list empty bottles.
Also interested in this answer, and wonder what the Venn diagram is with actual fragheads? I don’t personally have any interest in empties. I would keep, say, a stunning antique Lalique bottle or similar, but also want spend $$ to build out a collection.
I always assumed there was very little overlap, but of course I could be wrong!
My grandmother collects antique mini perfume bottles. Most are empty, some have random water with food colouring in them, a very few have some perfume left. But then, she just collects things. She has something like 300 antique glass shoes, and 200 Hummels, and a full set of antique Dazey butter churns of all different sizes, including a small one that was a demo piece that she and my grandfather were particularly proud of finding.
I can say that with her there is 0 overlap in the Venn diagram. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her wear perfume. It’s about the collecting.
200 Hummels? Wow! I collect mini perfume bottles too!!
Wow, that’s a lot of collecting!
Yeah, she’s really into collecting. She and my grandpa used to frequent auctions and pick up antiques and things for her collections. (I guess Grandpa had collections, too, but they tended to be things like horse-drawn wagons and horses.)
12 hours sleep
crushed it.
I had to write a 500 word letter of intention for the fellowship role.
Done. Now it’s a waiting game.
Nothing coming in the mail.
Have done some good sales on eBay. and I like that I can see to the back of the shelf and enjoy some things I forget I had. Wore Eau de Lente yesterday, it was so lovely and spicy and cinnamon goodness.
Eau Lente is a great one and you’ve given me an idea for my SOTD tomorrow, Apsara I better get my bottle out tonight so I don’t forget.
Thats what I did!
Hurray for getting that done, and fingers crossed for the fellowship!
thank you!
I went to the airport in Diptyque Vetiverio, but I couldn’t resist duty free shop so I sprayed some Elixir des Merveilles Hermès 😊 Wonderful stuff.
I love the Elixir! It’s my favorite version.
Last night, for the first time ever, I dropped a sample while I was dabbing it on. It landed on my lap, so my skirt is now very redolent of A Night in Marrakesh from Memoirs of a Perfume Collector.
I don’t want to wash the skirt yet, as it’s now my only way to test the perfume, but it is scenting half our small apartment 🙂
Oh, dear. At least it was a good one (or so I assume by the emoji)! 😄
Ack! Hope it does not stain.
Uh oh!
Oh my goodness!! Sorry I chuckled…
I am wearing Guerlain L’Instant which is a pretty old bottle. I’m doing some mild closet de-cluttering which prompted me to examine some perfume shelves in there more closely and I took out this and Insolence to give some air time too. It’s been probably years since I’ve worn either and in fact I like them both. I think I prefer Insolence. They’re both really too sweet, but there’s something more unusual and distinctive about Insolence–the violets, I suppose. I think both of my bottles date back roughly to the years when the respective perfumes came out–2003 and 2006. They’ve held up well, as far as I can tell.
It is amazing the shelf life of some perfumes! I liked Insolence better than L’Instant too.
Insolence had a beautiful bottle.
Freebie for NST regulars CONUS only
10ml with a few sprays gone – POAL.
First dibs takes it.
Dibs!!
I think we have swapped or did something in the past already? If it’s ok for me to have this – I always wanted to try POAL. I’m going to check my email.
Oh my goodness and people say that POAL is a jammy rose!! I love love jammy rose!!
Then you will love it 💕
Are you in the US? I cannot remember, sorry.
Of course I am in Florida!!
I can’t remember yesterday:)

I did send a message and hoping it will get to the right place. Thank You.
So the Epic 56 sample arrived already and I put it on my skin about 30mins ago. Right off the bat I can say -yes it’s the same perfume- the same fragrance BUT I find the difference, major difference between both. Regular Epic had of course the rose and all the Oriental spices, incense. Just like the 56 version does. But regular Epic while beautiful and I even missed it when it was gone has one con: one con I could detect right after applying it to skin. It has that idk cumin? Idk incensy spicy note that actually felt so strong as if I sprayed it overall I could get a mild headache. Besides this it was gorgeous. 56 on the other hand right away – the rose is brighter and that possibly-headache inducing note was much much tempered down. The rose outshines and leaves that strong note behind. So right away right there 56 is more appropriate to me. And not even because I am a perfume snob. It’s like I loved regular Epic but imagined I that it I wore it overall (like I like to wear my perfume. Period) I could start to feel a little overwhelmed. 56 poses zero threat of that. Also 56 is supposed to last longer too. Yup I keep sniffing my wrist and I already know that let’s call it the super strong cumin note is not a prominent in 56. It’s mostly rose rose rose on a bed of other things. Not an overwhelming bed of spices and cumin holding a rose in a chokehold.
I fell asleep early yesterday so didn’t have the opportunity to comment but for the CP I was wearing Elie Saab le parfum resort collection 2017. I am still a bit tired tonight, I picked AdP Vaniglia today and tonight Avon Casbah.
I had wondered yesterday. Keep resting Aurora.
Thank you Lillyjo, I’m awake tonight😃 and it’s getting late. Hope you’ll have a restful Sunday or an uneventful one if you have to go into work. I’ll want to know more about the puppy soon.
I just got home from work, so I am awake too.
I don’t have any cute puppy stories yet, since we are all trying to adjust. He keeps trying to get into the garbage and we are working on that.
🤣
Costco used to sell a “cat proof” garbage can. It was one of the things I made sure to take during my move.

Another one bites the dust!
Lol!! Yes!!!!!

I also purchased a travel spray of Indigo Blue – one that I always always wondered about. Idk if You guys remember but I am huge on tea perfumes. The marketing pictures of that Chinese village plus it’s notes of mandarin and lapsang souchang did this for me. And if I like it the $40 travel spray can go towards a full bottle – but I would have to REALLY love it to pay the other $180. So just the bottle of Indigo Blue costs $220. But the travel spray cost of $40 can go towards a full bottle – which kind of makes me think that this perfume ISN’T worth the $220 or why would they want to take that loss in the first place… Am I wrong for thinking like that? I can accept criticism. Maybe I should instead just focus on whether I like it or not and stop analyzing their sales approach. It was just a good for thought on this super lazy Saturday for me.
Oh and I also ordered samples of One Day Pu’erh Tea ( the only one available on LS right now from the whole collection) and Blue Matcha from Montale.
Of course there is a profit markup in the full price of merchandise, usually at least 100%. So they are not losing money. Hence why a lot of people wait for sales and refuse to pay full price for things. 🙂
Oh wow. Gotcha now…
I see Amouage being discussed in this post. I happen to be in Fate today, close to thunking my decant.
I made good progress with the website today – prepared 2 translation samples out of 3, and the third one is almost ready, too. And I think I know what kind of layout I want for “Samples” page. So I am getting there.
Fate sounds interesting too!!
Good for you!
Fate is lovely! Very glamorous and old school in the best possible way. 🤩
Ditto. I like it very much too, and have a bottle.
In African Roobois today, from a 5ml decant I bought recently. It’s fading, I’ll go do some more aggressive spraying.
Didn’t post the last several days, work’s been crazy plus I traveled for one night. I did wear Ineke Hothouse Flower for the CP yesterday.
Today I’m cleaning house, as I’ll have a guest next weekend and I’ve really let things get out of hand. Slept in late this morning, which was much needed.
Tonight or tomorrow I want to go see American Fiction, which they FINALLY brought to my town after the Oscar noms. Before it was 17 miles away.
Ha, I have let my house go too, post-holiday. Good thing I have no guests coming for the next month!
Didn’t think I was going to wear anything today, but then randomly pulled out a sample of Memoirs of a Trespasser after my shower, which is staying nicely in the background, which is good, because…
I got my second shingles vaccine yesterday. The pharmacist warned me that people say the second dose is worse, and I think that may be true. For the first one, I just felt like I’d been punched hard in the shoulder for about a week. This time, I woke up feeling achy and a bit shiver-y, but ibuprofen and some time in bed seem to be helping. I don’t want to go out anyway, as we’re under an atmospheric river again. At any rate, it’s better than getting shingles, which a neighbour just confirmed when he told me he had it last summer and it was miserable.
I feel your vaccine pain (and rain 🌧) as I am slowly recovering from my Covid vaccine yesterday. They always hit me hard but this one came with a nasty headache that is just starting to let up.
As you said, it’s so much better than getting full on sick.
I hope the headache is gone!
I wish you a speedy recovery from this second shot, which also made me miserable & yes the only silver lining is how bad actual shingles can be. I have never talked to anyone who said, oh yeah, I had shingles, no big deal. It’s always a horror story. I hope a good book & day spent in bed will help!
Thanks! It’s been a good excuse to hang out in bed. 🙂 And the ibuprofen is helping, too.
Trust me, I had shingles 35 years ago and I can still remember the pain and discomfort….and there was nothing they could do about it but wait it out! Yes, the vaccine can leave you a bit under the weather for a few days, but YIKES it is nothing compared to going through shingles!! Hope you feel better soon….
Yeah, my old manager’s wife got shingles in her ears, mouth, and throat. After that, I decided I was getting the vaccine the moment I was eligible.
A friend of mine got it last summer and it went into her left EYE. She has had to take medical leave ever since then and have numerous treatments for fear it will go into her brain and spine. It’s been a very scary situation and that was what prompted me to get the vaccines, finally.
Oh my goodness! That sounds AWFUL! Yeah, that’s why the vaccine pain is worth it.
Totally worth it. Nothing worse than watching an 85 year old woman literally sobbing because of the pain. Really quite sobering. And because it’s nerve pain, it’s pretty unmanageable, especially in older age groups.
My grandmother would get it, in her 70’s, and she also would cry from the pain.
My step-great grandfather had it for what seemed like years when he was in his 80s, and I know he was in a ton of pain.
Glad that you have nowhere to go after that second dose! Hope you are feeling more like yourself today.
Wore Bibliotheque today. Work was nuts. It was like Grand Central. But I made it out in one piece. 🙂
Hope it’s a calm rest of the weekend for you.
SOTD = 4160 Tuesdays Honey Jasmine Karma EDP
I like it! I won’t consider this edgy other than it skirts the edge of getting into cat pee territory. I would also prefer for the initial blast to be better blended.

Threads keeps showing up on my IG feed. I hope to not accidentally click on it and get inadvertently signed up!
Also, and this is very strange, all of a sudden, I keep seeing sponsored ads of Fzotic Ummagumma in both posts and stories. I suppose the algorithm is “working” except it should know better than to keep showing me something for which I have a full bottle!
Cat pee is one of my most hated notes. Lol.
Surprised that you like it, given the Eau de Pew note!
Fzotic has sent a couple of emails in recent days mentioning that their travel sprays are limited now. Glad I grabbed the ones I wanted before the holidays.
Oh dear. I had my eye on one…
And it’s gone. Well, I guess that takes Ummagumma off my lemming list. I just can’t justify a full bottle of anything at this point, really.

Unclear when it ends. Says “while supplies last”
Yikes, that’s so tempting! But I have enough. Must. Keep. Saying. That.
Haha
Today was the 22nd day in a row that we had snow or rain. ( in case anyone cares. Lol) it’s supposed to be dry tomorrow though.
I wore Mugler Aura to work and it’s still going strong. I wish I would have gotten the flankers before it all got discontinued. Tj Maxx has the body cream on clearance for 18 dollars. I might go back tomorrow for it. But that’s a pretty big jar.
I’d say you’re overdue for some scalding sunshine! Go get the cream! Put it in the fridge. When it’s 110F in the shade this summer, skip to your fridge and slather on some of the cold cooling cream! I did this with my BG body cream back when I lived in an actual house.
I walked out with $30.00 worth of dog toys. Lol… sigh..
I care!! Because I just spent two hours shoveling wet, heavy snow/slush off my very long driveway!! I’m too old for this! I definitely need to move to the South when w can finally retire!!!
You must be in great shape!
I’m laughing so loud right now that the Three Amigos are staring at me!! I’m skinny but not in shape anymore despite the fact that I was a professional ballerina decades ago. I do what I need to do.,, and I’m stubborn.., so I shovel the stinking driveway
I’m laughing so hard right now because of The Three Amigos reference🤣
I love that movie!
I saw the Three Amigos reference and thought of a trio of wide receivers the Denver Broncos had ages ago. Figured it was NOT that! 🤪
Ahaha!! I’m laughing with you based on what you said!! Yeah, that movie is great! And you’ve seen my three feline grandchildren!! What else can I call them but three amigos???
22 days! Triple ugh! And I care💙 Hope you get some glorious sunshine soon!
I care! I’m still trying to shove a bit of sun your way.
Good morning, everyone!!
Happy Sunday!! Funday as we say in my local church where I am getting ready to go to…
This morning a sample of Amouage Gold Woman turned up, with little left. I retired it.. When I first dug out samples of Jubilation 25 Woman, Dia Woman and Gold Woman I remember thinking like this: all are beautiful. J25W my firstest first of a choice, Gold W second and Dia third. I love soapy notes in perfumes so much so I adore Dia but it didn’t seem to bloom on the skin like the two other ones. Still liked it though.
Since becoming a maniac of J25W, today I decided to use up the Gold sample.
Impression? Ok so both J25W and Gold W have aldehydes. But J25W is like 30% aldehydes, on a strong base of wood and incense base. Gold is like 60% aldehydes and the rest wood and incense. Gold some soapiness to it but much less than Dia. Gold would resemble something of a classic Chanel for example no. 5 or 22 a little more. Very very classy, feminine, it smells like it could come from some Cristal flacon. Maybe that’s even why Amouage made the newest addition called Gold & Cristal. Gold is definitely the type of fragrance a woman in a Chanel tweed jacket and a string of pearls around the neck I imagine wear. Now just because I don’t own Chanel clothing and would not have many clothing options to wear a string of pearls with – that would never ever make me feel like I don’t “deserve” to wear the most classy, beautiful, aldehydic perfumes.
At the very young age of 18 I bought a bottle of Guerlain Shalimar. I hated it. I loved Yardins de Bagatelle at that age though. But Shalimar smelled like some sharp citrus cleaner with a not too comforting, weird vanilla. I am thinking that I should actually try Shalimar now and see how I feel about it.
Amouage Beloved is also a gorgeous scent. Have you tried that one?
En Voyage Captured in Amber. Thunk!
Stayed at a rest area in Nevada last night and fell asleep around 7pm! It’s a pretty desolate 2 lane going through the middle of nowhere (HWY 305). So blissfully quiet! Went out later in the night to take doggo out and everything was lit up like daylight by the moon. All the snowy hills were silvered and glowing. Distant farms were grey with fencing sparkling with frost. Thousands of hay bales stood silent and still. My camper even threw a shadow the moon was so bright.
Diary of a travel dog: last one out of bed. First one to get breakfast and potty. Back in bed. With her fleece on. Under 20 pounds of blankets. It hard luck life. 🐕
Make the most of your Sunday!
I kept my mind busy at work last night trying to figure out how to get the heck out of the city. Your quiet night posts are inspiring.
My friend, I hope you can , indeed , figure out how to get out of the city!!
I’m wishing you quiet nights and clear skies sparkling with so many ⭐️ ✨ 💫 🤩
That sounds like such a beautiful scene!
Very peaceful ☺️
Holy cow Deva!! You are the Thunkinator!!
This should be a community project!!
Thunkinator! Thunk something every day!
Robin? What say thou??
People were talking about doing a Thunk Thursday or something? As a regular thing.
I don’t think we’ve done a Thunk community project, but I do try to pick things that at least most people can participate in, and I’m not sure that works for most people? Maybe I am wrong. It seems like if you don’t already have a mostly empty sample you can’t do it.
Am I wrong?
We once did a just finish it cp. I’m pretty sure.
Thank you lillyjo! I am sure you are right.
Well lillyjo just answered both of our questions! Guess it’s been done already 🤪Ok I give up trying to come up with any more community projects! I’ll leave it to the experts 🙏😁
You described the night scene beautifully.
Thanks, but I didn’t do it justice at all. I just read a book not too long ago about light and noise pollution. There are very few places left in the world where you can find both. I hope I die before they disappear altogether.
Diorviera a gorgeous fig , thunk
But I am also wearing Angels Share which bloomed beautifully with my sweat as I shoveled insanely heavy slush off my supper long driveway. I’m lucky that I didn’t have a heart attack at my age!!
Anyone who loves winter please come to my house and experience it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&!!!!&
Ummm .,, that would be super long driveway,,, blasted autocorrect
Glad you didn’t have heavy slush for supper!
🤣🤣🧊❄️🩵
Diorviera sounds rather interesting!
Ugh, sounds like you had a load of “Sierra Cement” on your driveway.
It was awful!! I’m going to be sore tomorrow lol
It seems like an Amouage weekend for many here. I am in Lyric extrait today and thunked that sample. Last week I thunked that edp sample. Now I have a little more room but I want to work on using up more decants along with candles.
Vetiverissimo today. My new vetiver fave.
Weather report: 37F and raining. Turning to snow overnight. 🌧️🌨️ Staying inside!
Please send some moisture this way!
Be glad to!

Today I’m wearing YSL Paris–NOT “Mon Paris,” which is a whole different ballgame. It goes on rather sweet but the dry down is very warm and wonderful. I should wear it more often.
Paris is so beautiful.
