Happy Friday! It's also the last day of May, Walt Whitman’s birthday and World No Tobacco Day. Our community project for today: the Picture challenge, edition 9...wear a perfume that matches the image, which is Genesis, The Gift of Life, a 1954 glass mosaic by Mexican artist and anthropologist Miguel Covarrubias. [Above is just detail from the central part of the mosaic; more images and info here.]
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
For the green underground figure, which I assume is based on the Aztec "earth monster" Tlaltecuhtli, I decided to go with something rooty / underground, so vetiver. After realizing I no longer have a single fragrance from my post 5 perfumes: vetiver fragrances for spring, I moved on to summer. I'm in Guerlain Vetiver.
Reminder: 6/7 is Prince Rogers Nelson aka Prince aka The Artist's birthday. Scent a Prince song, or do whatever else you like with the theme.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2024, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

TGIF! What a week this has been!
Work was super busy and I’ve been shuttling gradtowngirl around town getting dentist and doctors appointments checked off the list before she heads to her summer camp job.
Today she and I will head north and meet my parents at the half way point for lunch and then she’ll go with them the rest of the way. Her camp is conveniently located about 10 minutes from where I grew up. I will also collect the T-shirt quilt for madtownteen’s hs graduation that my mom finished. I’ve seen pictures and it looks beautiful. Can’t wait for her to open it. It’s been a true labor of love and I shall try not to burst into tears when she does. Lol
Anyway, perfume! I’m in Tam Dao because I could use some zen right about now.😎
Enjoy your drive and lunch! Be sure to let us know the quilt reaction.
Yes, let us know and you smell great!
It will be fun to hear about your daughter’s reaction.
Have a great time at the lunch with your family. I’m excited for you about the quilt.
The quilt sounds really lovely.
The quilt sounds absolutely lovely – a priceless gift and heirloom-to-be!
Gotta hear what madtownteen thinks of her brand new keepsake!
I hope you enjoyed the day!
Hello and tgif!
I am matching the rainbow figure in the centre of the artwork with LV Myriad. According to LV, it is “a veritable kaleidoscope of color” and “like a diamond diffracting a rainbow of light”.
I am packing for a trip to Taipei, Taiwan with 2 friends. I think like other east Asia countries, the perfume culture is not strong so I don’t think I will get much chance to sniff. But I will be wearing somethings for sure, maybe less spritz but definitely something. Oh and one of my goals in Taipei is eating soup dumplings (xiao long bao or XLB as the kids call it) from Ding Tai Fung.
wow! have a great trip
That’s a clever match. I wanted to wear something rainbow related but failed to find the right scent in my wardrobe. 👍
Enjoy your trip and dumplings!
Have a great time on your trip!
Safe travels.
I was in Taipei like 20 years ago, and had the most amazing foot massage there. I cannot possibly remember the name of the place I went, but if you get a chance, do get a foot massage!
Wishing you a safe and wonderful trip!
Safe travels, and have a fantastic time!
Thumbing through the paper and listening to NPR at the same time.
Trying some lighter Chanels this week…I wore Cristalle (Vert flanker) the new Cristalle EdT reformulated, and today I am in Eau Cologne.
House twins!
I have had (sort of) a Chanel week minus one day.
Yes, and I think your Chanel week suddenly gave me the idea about No. 5.
Yes, there’s a lot of news today! 😉
😉
I adore Chanel’s Eau de Cologne — you smell lovely!
It’s nice and refreshing.
I also liked the Cristalle flanker. I have had a craving recently for these lighter perfumes- something breezy and not over powering
Being from the agricultural Midwest, I should try to scent the corn but I’m at a loss. No wheat, either. So I’m going with hay, in Chergui. May not earn me CP points but I smell great.
Points for effort.
I have nothing..I am not sure I am CP compliant
Thanks for the corn inspiration! Enjoy your Chergui.
My take on this CP is a bit silly – I am wearing Chanel No. 5 EdP because the mosaic shows the creation of the fifth world. 😂
wow!
Very creative, Glannys!
That’s a really good take!
Very witty choice.
Nicely done!
You are creative! Points for you.
Makes perfect sense to me!
I’m not trying for the CP points today. Working through my least used bottles, I came across a Smell Bent that I haven’t worn in a while. I’m wearing Never Never Land.
House twins, or rellies of some sort…
Just been working this week and socializing more than usual with dinner engagements. Always fun when you head to some9one’s house at 5:30 for dinner, figuring you’ll likely be home by 9. You turn around after a few glasses of wine, and it’s 11:30. That’s an enjoyable evening.
I’m going with Riviera Verbena for the sun and citrus. A happy scent.
Speaking of happy, that’s the kittens. So much fun yet such menaces with anything not nailed down I think my husband is getting a bit jealous because Fanny tends to crawl and lay down on me more than she does on him. I’m usually the “spare human.”
I love hearing about your kittens:) So cute. There is a cat cafe in my town, for $15, you get a private area to spend with a cat for an hour with snacks and drinks. They brought a little grey kitten to my area and I loved it:) What a cutie and he ended up getting adopted that day(not by me but someone who came in after). I should make another trip down there.
We have one that opened few years ago and they get their cats from the humane society and have adopted a lot of them out. I know my grandchildren went to the cafe when they were in town and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Kittens are such cute, fuzzy agents of utter destruction.
You said it right!😹
THIS!
Hello all!
Woke up to an eeriely dark apartment as another storm rolls through. I didn’t sleep long enough so hoping the power stays on so I can go back to bed. (I was knitting and now all I have left is weaving in ends, though I might eventually tighten the collar ribbing.)
Ringthing noted the corn in today’s detail shot, so I’m going with an odd one: the fabulous Seville a L’Aube. Someone commented on fragrantica that it smells like a corn tortilla, and honestly it does sometimes. It’s like a lenticular picture, with the other “image” being a full-throated smoky orange blossom. I love this perfume so much I bought a back-up.
I didn’t realize the mosaic was in Dallas! I’ve probably driven/walked by it several times and hadn’t realized. I’ll have to report back next time I’m visiting friends in Dallas.
Have a great day everyone.
Fingers crossed the power stays on.
You certainly have had the storms down there. Stay safe. We had quite a bit of rain last night in the Midwest and it seems like we can always use it as it seems to get dry later in the summer.
How cool is discovering that awesome mosaic is near you?
I’m going with a fairly literal take on the mosaic today: Paestum Rose for mosaics, like all the mosaics I saw in Roman excavations. I was also looking at the mosaics in Ravenna last night, as I plan our fall break trip…not Roman or Greek, but stunning mosaics and in Italy!
Mosaic envy!
Like Coumarin, I was awakened early by the latest in our seemingly constant stream of thunderstorms. What a dreary wet and gray morning it is! Yuck.
For the CP I am wearing Arquiste Indigo Smoke, for the air and swirling thing in the upper right quadrant of the painting. Smoke (or incense) get transmitted through air, and it’s blue, and it’s by a Mexican perfumer, so I think I have made a good pick!
I hope the weather improves and your area does not suffer much damage. I like your approach to the CT!
Great pick Calypso!
Totally unrelated but ages ago you asked about grey eyebrow pencils and I just saw that Bobbi Brown’s Jone’s Road has just put out a grey pencil: Jones Road Brow Pencil: Grey
Thank you! I’ve tried done of the JR products and didn’t like their brow pencil. But I’ve found good grey ones from Benefit (expensive) and Nyx (affordable) in grey.
Thunderstorms are bad enough, but in the middle of the night? No thanks!
This afternoon it cleared up and became beautiful! It’s still hot but without the terrible humidity. Hope this lasts awhile!
My SOTD doesn’t match the CP-it’s Mure et Musc body wash, plus matching body cream. Might be my favourite way to wear this fragrance. I think it smells good but my friend once borrowed a spritz and on her it smelled ah-ma-zing. Love it when I can smell a scent I like on someone else.
It’s a bit chilly here-furnace keeps kicking in. Think we’re in for a cool damp sort of weekend. Good chance to finish cutting down some rose bushes.
The mosaic is a mural, and you are wearing Mure et Musc. 😀
Points!
Brilliant!
Thanks, Glannys! Love it when people can think outside the box :))))
I’m wearing Choc de Cardin for the community project today. In her NST review, Angela describes this fragrance as having the quality of a sidewalk after it rains, both dirty and clean. There is something rain like and also mineral like in it, along with citrus and a streak of animalic that gives it life and that seems appropriate for the stormy and fecund creation myth of the mosaic.
Perfect Desirae!
I’m wearing Carnal Flower. I’ve had a bit of a week so I have not been able to think of a link with the gorgeous mural.
Have a great weekend everyone!
You smell wonderful!
I could probably wear that one everyday. You smell lovely!
Love this one, will wear it tomorrow!
Lots of green in that mural = fits with the mentholated top note of Carnal Flower. Voila!
Bit of a week twins! So glad it is over. Hope your weekend is relaxing austenfan.
I chose citrus for the tree in the middle section, in the form of Jour d’Hermes Absolu. When the time comes to replace my beloved bottle of the EDP (or before 😉), I will likely go with the Absolu instead because it has more oomph and longevity and depth while somehow still feeling light. Happy Friday!
Yes, the Absolu is definitely oomphier
Jd’H Absolu surpasses its perfume parent, I think.
In Eau d’Hadrian for the citrus (pomelo?) tree illustrated above.
Would love the shower oil too, but will be happy with Shikai’s Yuzu.
The cicadas have been making themselves heard over the last couple of days–wouldn’t call it a din exactly, but it sounds sci-fi-ish,
like a background spacey noise from a Twilight Zone episode.
The ShiKai shower gels are great, aren’t they.
I’m in Robin’s scent from Tuesday – Hermes Eau des Merveilles. It took me about three different times over the years to finally fall in love with this scent. I’m not sure if my sense of smell changed as I got older or what. No one has ever mentioned anything when I wear it until today. One of the baristas at my Starbucks said how wonderful I smelled.
On a different note, I received my bottle of Zara Livre Blanc by Olivia Giacobetti. I have to say that I find it beautiful. Although it is marketed as being masculine, it is definitely unisex and to me leans feminine. I find it to be clean and crisp. Not a complex scent at all. I would compare it to something like JD Musc Neutre.
Olivia Giacobetti for Zara?? Sounds great, will check this out.
Plus it is very inexpensive. Under $40 for a 100 ml bottle.
I’m glad you like it!
Thanks for letting me know. I love it!
The Zara website has been rather dangerous of late to the wallet, hasn’t it?
Yes, it has been.
Hello!
Hope everyone is doing well. Went to Neimans and sniffed a bit, came across a Xerjoff I liked but I had such a good convo with the person at the counter, I totally spaced on getting the name of it lol. Oops. Gives me a reason to go back lol. It was an ambery woody scent.
Also went to Lush and sniffed that See and Be Seen Body Wash. It smells great, like Rose Jam but just a slightly lighter smelling version of it.
Triple digits in temp today lol and this will be the norm for a while lol. I do a bit more cooking in the summer usually cause it’s too hot to go outside much at all. Brutal heat.
Commando atm but will try and chime in with a CP choice later:)
TGIF! Have a great Friday! 🌹
Have a great Friday too.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the LUSH See and Be Seen Body Wash!
More thanks for the Lush report, I was wondering!
And do stay inside, that’s brutal.
I have been listening to the beautiful book “In Search of Perfumes
A Lifetime Journey to the Source of Nature’s Scents”, and have been wearing perfumes this week with various notes: Bulgari blue tea for lavender, Vetiver Pour Elle, big bellybutton for patchouli, and today it is Bollywood or Bust, for sandalwood.
Sounds like an interesting book. Is it the Dominique Roques one?
it is indeed.
Love the Smell Bent oeuvre, what a shame it all ended.
Joining Robin in a fragrance that I never knew had a vetiver note until I re-watched Persolaise’s top Iris fragrances video. In a spritz or two of the lovely No. 19💚
Heading to The Sea Ranch on the Northern CA coast tomorrow for a couple weeks of vacation. I’m really looking forward to the break😊
Ooh Sea Ranch, nice! I love that area. I won a stay at the Sea Ranch Lodge once but couldn’t use it on time, gave it to a couple who wanted a getaway. They loved their time there. The NorCal coastline is the best. Enjoy your time there!
We stayed in Point Reyes Station a few years ago, just south of Sea Ranch and really enjoyed it. It’s such an atmospheric area.
Have a great trip!
Thank you, Kris!
Your getaway sounds wonderful! Enjoy.
Thank you, Jalapeno! I’m grateful for the work I do but I’m really ready for some down time.
Have a great time!
Thank you, lillyjo! I’m looking forward to doing a lot of nothing😊
That sounds like such a nice vacation spot! Enjoy your time off and away.
Today I am wearing Nicolai´s Le Temps d’une Fête. It´s such a beautiful scent… I think it has been discontinued.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Hope you have a good weekend too!
I like the underground figure a lot and it looks mossy to me so I am planning to wear all natural perfume called Emerald Moss by Strange Invisible Perfumes. Notes of maté, fresh ginger, Temple mandarin, and first-distillation rose. Its smells very very mossy and green and gorgeous, with light citrus and rose playing second fiddle to the green notes. It’s a scent from Reserve Series and it has recently been re-released; I have two bottles of the original run. It cost an arm and a leg back then and now but it’s one of the perfumes that make me very happy so it was totally worth it. I was not planning to wear it just yet is because I’m about to start working in our garden, mostly on the rose patch, in a blazing hot sun but I could not resist a light spritz on my chest beforehand and will reapply it after I’m done.
Emerald Moss sounds wonderful, and I’m sure you smell great!
I do like SIP but not sure if I ever tried that one. Great pick, in any case.
Wearing Shalimar Ode a la Vanille (Mexican version). It was the only one I could think of for the CP.
love the vanilla flankers. I have Madagascar one
Joining Robin with vetiver, in Diptyque Vetyverio EDP..might be my fave from them.
I still haven’t tried Vetyverio, do you consider it a warm weather scent?
Aurora, I have a large bottle, if you want a sample. You can e-mail me at my username at yahoo. I think of most vetivers as better in warm weather, but I think Vetyverio could be a good 3-season option.
Oh you’re so sweet to offer but it’s not possible, we have the ocean between us, I live in the UK. Good to know it could fit 3 seasons. I’ll go on a sniffing expedition soon, will smell it and think of you😃
I’m willing to try sending like 3mL. Can’t guarantee it will get to you, but worth a shot.
Found my notes on Vetyveryo (not sure about the concentration) from 2017:
“It’s not what I expected – more vetiver/musk than vetiver/citrus. That is, I can definitely smell citrus from the vial, but it dries in seconds on my skin, and the scent becomes powdery and clean.”
I think it was lighter than your typical vetiver perfume but not exactly a hot weather scent.
Glannys, very interesting description💚
Frozen mango, juice of a lemon and yogurt smoothie
It feels much more like April or even March than the end of May so I pulled out a mimosa scent, having used the Le Couvent one IIRC I retrieved PMC Mimosa Tanneron and waving to perfumelover67 who has it too and hasn’t been here lately.
For the CP I’m in Wenge, a sacred and rare African tree but honestly it’s mostly incense to my nose but I think incense/copal used in pre-Columbian ceremonies fits too. Dinner is apple crumble (store bought but delicious), naughty but I don’t feel like cooking tonight.
Pretty sure I still have a smidge of Wenge hanging out in The Sample Stash.
So glad you know it too, it’s a great incense with a whisper of sweetness, I got my bottle ten years ago I think when no-one was interested and now naturally it’s $$$.
We are Mango twins in a way.
My sotd has Mango as a note.
Mango is one of my favorite notes. Scrolling down to see your sotd.
I was so happy to remember the CP this morning before I had applied perfume! I put on Nicolai’s Week-end in Normandy, since the mural seemed very much concerned with the outdoors and natural world. I still don’t love this scent on me; it goes too aquatic.
I was disappointed by the Nicolai sampler.
PS Sent you an email just now, hope it gets to you, many thanks.
Rabbit rabbit rabbit ( already!). The year is sailing by so quickly. I’m picking the Genesis theme, matching with Breath of God , which works with the cold and dark here, waiting for dawn. Because I get up so early I often wonder about what I would do if the sun didn’t rise. I wonder how long I would try and rationalise it in my mind…like, the sun’s an hour late today but it will turn up soon ( as if it was a bus stuck in traffic). Or maybe it will arrive tomorrow ( as if it’s a parcel ). We’ve had beautiful deep pink sunrises recently and today there is a warm NW wind ( foehn) which is blowing things around.
The year is going quickly!
I have had similar thoughts about the Sun. Lol.
Not having to worry if the sun will rise might be benefit I gain from never being up that early?
Breath of God is a great choice for the mural.
Hello from Copenhagen, Denmark!
SOTD = Chanel No.19 EDP
… I will switch off between this and No.5 EDT …
The flighf itself was unremarkable. I had an empty seat next to me as did my sister. We got to the hotel early, around 8:15am, so way way early than the 3pm early check-in time. We decided to walk around anyway but time seemed to go reaaaaallllyyy slowly. We were able to check-in around 1pm though; however, the room was so tiny that I could barely fit going to my side of the bed (I AM a very nice sister). Anyway, we’re also on the 1st floor which is really floor 2. Facing the street on a Friday night? Fuggedaboutit! At least we’re only going to be here overnight! And for some weird reason, the church bells keep rolling at odd times! Anyway, looking forward to the cruise tomorrow!
I took some pics and the one I was quite tickled by is this:

Hello, house twin!
I hope you are enjoying Copenhagen. I have some fond memories about this city and a perfumista friend I met there.
They do have some funny signs, don’t they?
LOL at the sign. Have fun in Copenhagen!
That sign was funny!
😁 very persuasive.
So excited for your cruise. I hope it’s fantastic!
Love the sign. 😅
Well jealous of your adventure. Have a wonderful, safe time.
The mural sends a vibe of not exactly religion but maybe celebrating the natural world in a mystical way so I went with CGC Avignon. I need that calming incense vibe.
Continuing my decluttering project. I am purging a lot of stuff from the beginning of my career, facing the reality that I rarely read any of it NOW and I will probably be retired in a few years. I am keeping the most sentimental items but manuals and books I never read are getting recycled or going to the used bookstore.
I was just thinking of how many of my graduate school papers / books / etc I still have!
Good morning! It’s the start of a long weekend here, King’s Birthday. I celebrated that yesterday by buying a pair of shoes. I’m pretty sure the King would want me to mark his birthday by giving a present to myself 🙂 .
Post-shower, I’ll wear Patou’s 1000, it’s another of those perfumes that includes practically everything from the flower garden, so is sure to fit with the mural.
I just love your reasoning and I’m a huge fan of 1000.
In Vetiver because Robin wore it!
I’m working on recovering my dining room chairs this week. These projects always take longer than expected. But I’m trying to DIY more stuff and not buy new all the time.
Buying new is crazy now. Price and quality wise. You are smart to try and do it yourself. Good luck!
Oh my gosh it took me ages to do 6 chairs last year. I had recovered chairs with fabric before but it was my first time replacing the foam. It was time consuming for sure. But so nice when it was done!
Good luck!
I have long been an admirer of Native American culture, especially its respect and reverence for all living creatures, both plant and animal life, and deep connection to the natural world. The painting incorporates the concept of the four elements of water, fire, earth and air, and I’ve chosen to focus on the element of ‘earth’ for today’s cp and my SOTD,Jeffery Dame’s Earth Mother.
My choice is inspired by a favorite quote: “The Great Spirit is our father, but the Earth is our mother. She nourishes us; that which we put into the ground she returns to us, and healing plants she gives us likewise. If we are wounded, we go to our mother and seek to lay the wounded part against her, to be healed.” – Bedagi (Big Thunder), Wabanaki Algonquin, 1900s.
Earth Mother was inspired by Dame’s artist father’s Native American roots, and Jeffery stated (in a fragrantica interview) “For Earth Mother I wanted a warm and nurturing embrace . . . which gently enveloped the wearer in beauty.” One of my favorite Dame scents, I think it perfectly illustrates the quote and is my perfect choice for today’s cp.
A very fun day for me today – a virtual dulcimer workshop with my favorite dulcimer musician/teacher, Dave Haas, followed by an ice cream social at my library for all of us volunteers. Rain predicted for the weekend, but I’m hoping to get some much needed weeding in and, maybe, just maybe 🤞my first trip to the park district pool, can’t wait!
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead no matter how you spend it!🪴
You and I are scent cousins today. I can see echoes of Angel in Earth Mother.
When I first saw the artwork for today’s CP, I immediately thought of a Mugler perfume. The weirdness in the classic TM scents matches the vibe I get from the mosaic. Only question was: which perfume? I have a few to choose from, LOL.
SOTD = the OG Angel EdP. Still getting loads of patchouli from it today, which goes with the underground kaiju Robin mentioned. Not as much of the sweet notes, which I am chalking up to cooler weather. Plus Angel was the genesis of the gourmand perfume category, so I figure that’s worth double points.
Oh, definitely, and true Angel is so capricious.
Angel does have an ornery streak!
Great minds think a like Jalapeno. We are house twins!
Hiya, house twin!
Did you try your new Zara perfume yet? It sounded like it would be great. Be sure to give us a report.
I’m thinking I might try the new Zara sometime this weekend. Angel is gonna keep me company until sometime tomorrow morning…
Will definitely post my thoughts about it here.
OOOHHHH Good choice.
Thank you!
I’m smelling cheerful in Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom to match the lemon or citrus tree in the mural. Yesterday I went with the gorgeous Willows by Regime des Fleurs for the wheat note. It pairs wheat with iris and actually reminds me of IUNX Talc. I think Talc fans and iris fans would enjoy this one.
Speaking of Regime des Fleurs, I was delighted to get on Instagram this morning and see that I, and the friend I tagged when I entered the contest, won the giveaway for the re-release of their Cacti perfume! I’m not sure what exactly I’ll be receiving (full bottle, sample, or travel size?), but I’m thrilled to have won since I do really like quite a few of their perfumes. I can’t wait to try it.
And Robin, like some others have said this week, I love the mural! Thanks for choosing it for our picture challenge. 🙂
Congrats on your perfume windfall!
Thanks!
Congratulations on winning!
Thank you!
Congrats on the win!
Thanks, Omega!
Hooray, how fun!! Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congrats on the win! You smell wonderful! The Malibu Lemon Blossom always reminds me of our trip to Carmel and cruisin’ down the Pacific Coast Highway on a glorious sunny day❤️
Oh, that sounds like a really nice day. And, thank you!
What fun you both won! And really glad you enjoyed the mural.
I probably should have also mentioned the friend is a perfume pal, NST’s own Jessica. I figured I’d tag someone who I remembered liking RdF perfumes. Pretty cool to have some luck!
Woo Hoo! Lucky you.
I am wearing two versions of Angel today. The first was Angel Rose from The Garden of Stars. I wanted a little more projection though so sprayed Angel eau crosiere 2019 over it after a few hours.
It’s the last of the beautiful days here for awhile. Rain is expected for tomorrow and into next week.
We were on the same wavelength today!
Wish I would have known about The Garden of Stars versions of Angel when they were easy to find. I love the Violette one, and treasure my sample of it.
Angel rose is so good, 2019 Croisiere limited edition is another one that’s $$$ now, I bet you smell great.
We’ll be weather twins, it’s been cold for the season and rainy here.
It’s been a busy week for me, I’m chiming in late to say I loved the CP this week. The mural has really made me look closely and think about about the world, the spirits, life…. just what good art does!
I wore a sample of Le Jardin Retrouve’s Mousse Arashiyama today.
Have a love weekend, all!
That sample name is quite a mouthful!
I’m so glad!
GAH! So late again.
For the sheer wealth of colours and moments within the pic I’ve gone with a classic kitchen sinker, Estée Lauder Youth Dew. It also has lively brightness, spice, sweetness and dark depths.
Youth Dew is an excellent choice as well. Estee Lauder has been credited with starting American fine perfumery. So that ties in with the “Genesis” theme.
Jalapeno!
It’s always so nice to see your avatar pop up.
AH!! Thanks for the deeper dive. I’m going to take double points then. HE HE HE
Hi Everyone – commented occasionally over the years but normally I lurk. I picked up a few samples over the last month or so and I thought I try them with the CP, the mural is really cool.
Zoologist Rabbit – on me it’s alllll Hay all day (after a brief burst of biscoff). Not unpleasant, and after raising rabbits for many years as a child they definitely smell like alfalfa, but not sure I’ll buy a bottle. The bottle is so pretty though. I picked because of the garden elements. Lasts forever.
Future Society Reclaimed Flame – it’s an herby citrus. I like it but it smells like something I already have just not sure what. Picked due to name of and the sun/volcano side of the mosaic.
Always happy to see a long time lurker “de-lurk”!
