Tuesday and Cow Appreciation Day. Tom Hanks is 63 today. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m wearing Parfums de Nicolaï Balle de Match aka Eau de Sport. Tea at the moment is an organic Colombian black, which will be followed shortly by a bit of iced coffee and then a cup of the Juniper Ridge Douglas Fir & Rosehips tea (thank you, Regina, for tipping me over the edge with your review).
Reminder: 7/12 will be Henry David Thoreau’s birthday, aka Simplicity Day…
Visitors move through Fructaplex©, a fruity, plasticky smell reminiscent of artificial car air-fresheners, to Sylvoxime©, which has a comforting sylvan note of a walk through the forest, before hitting the intense and complex smell called Hyperflor©, which Raspet describes as somewhere between fresh flower petals and putrid, overripe vegetation.

"The scent of roses bursting through richly charred soil. Their lush petals strike a beautiful contrast against the deep, smoky earthiness of their environs, life, death, and rebirth all in one. Beauty in chiaroscuro, universal balance- an unforgettable scent." Doesn't that sound tempting? It's the Asphalte Rose candle from Mad et Len, and it's huge (300g) but also spendy ($105).
