Posted by Robin on 21 December 2019 341 Comments

Quick PSAs: our Arielle Shoshana Weekenders Set giveaway is still open! And the next freebiemeet will be on Saturday, January 18. There are 10 days to go in 2019, and Hanukkah starts on Sunday night.

Meanwhile, five questions for a December weekend. As always, answer as few or as many as you like, or just talk about something else.

1. What fragrance are you wearing today?

2. What’s your favorite holiday (any holiday) food? (Feel free to share or link to a recipe!)

3. Did you make any perfume-related resolutions for 2019, and if so, did you stick to them?

4. Possibly related to #3, what’s the next fragrance you are itching to buy?

5. Share something wonderful with us! It can be anything — something delicious you ate, a great movie you saw recently, the last good book you read, any fabulous news you recently received — really, anything…

The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 December 2019 8 Comments

From Guerlain for Chinese New Year: Rosa Rossa in red. "Rosa Rossa belongs to the Aqua Allegoria collection, the first collection in perfumery of intensely-fresh fragrances, created in 1999. [...] The guiding thread of the collection is bergamot, a precious citrus fruit that’s sometimes called "Calabrian green gold," and the key ingredient in the Guerlinade. Rosa Rossa is an eau de toilette which embodies the unexpected encounter between a delicate rose and a duo of lychee and blackcurrant notes." $132 CAD at Shoppers Drug Mart. (At Neiman Marcus, you can find a red bottle of Eau de Cologne Impériale, $105 for 100 ml.)
