Almost-Friday plus World Radio Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm a broken record: still on vacation, (still behind on reading comments), still in Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess.
Reminder: 2/14 we're celebrating Valentine's Day. Wear the perfume you are most smitten with at the moment, or, wear a perfume given to you by a significant other.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2020, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Well, look at it this way: there is a certain comfort for us in the fact that you are still wearing Bronze Goddess, still on vacation and still behind on reading comments. There is an element of safety in predictability.
That said, I’m wearing an old favourite and favourite combination: Heure Exquise dry oil and edp. It feels luxurious and exceedingly soothing at the same time.
If I could arrange it, I would do at least another month of this 🙂
Tauer Rose Delight body oil layered with Tauerville Rose Flash. Embracing for another dark, rainy day! ?
Ready for summer? If not you still have time….. ??
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/12/us/kfc-crocs-shoe-trnd/index.html
You smell great! But those shoes … yikes!
Thank you!
oh my.
That’s what I was going to say.
?
Exactly!
Gross! Ugh. I hope I never see those on anyone, ever!
I cannot imagine my feet wafting a fried chicken scent at any time, but especially in very high summer temps…
Sweaty feet and chicken… yum! Lol… gross
That’s the point! ??
I suspect that they designed them mostly as a publicity stunt, but a few people will actually wear them.
Oh that’s just horrifying.
Still wondering what is next!
Liver and onions.
Madtownteen loves crocs and that’s all she asked for, for her birthday last fall. When she opened them, you’d have thought I had given her the world, she was so excited. Not sure she’d like that pair though, lol.
What I really find very unpleasant is the chicken smell ?. The design as much as I find it horrible is something that would not surprise me much seeing people wearing. There are worse things out there that people wear everyday. ?
“This” design.
Ewwww. But you smell terrific!
? Thank you!
I shouldn’t have followed that link – I’ll never get those shoes out of my head!
Very traumatic! ?
OMG…Lol….Well wear those crocs and get your Erykah Badu incense/perfume/whatever,and you are good to go for Valentine’s day….????
Oh boy! ?. Sending them as my Valentine’s present to you. Enjoy! ??
Hahahahaha!!!Well I do love KFC sooooo yay!!????✌??
They are actually good for Halloween!
That’s awesome! ??
Don’t want the shoes, but a bucket of KFC original would be pretty tasty right about now…..
Joining you, Jada! I love KFC! ?⬜
My first reaction to those shoes was something that can’t be posted here at NST. Terrifying.
I know! It is disgusting!
I used to work for Crocs. But I’ve gotta say this is truly over the top. Yuck.
Rose Flash is great!
It is indeed! ?
I’m in my power perfume Chanel Chance for a long day.
Have a good day all!
I love Chance..doesn’t get a lot of love but the fraiche flanker is lovely for me
I wore Chance Eau Fraiche as one of my main perfumes just after college. I still like it a lot but don’t own any now. It actually reminds me of some smell from my childhood.
Hope the Chance carries you through!
Wait, I thought Coromandel was your power perfume…? Either way, you smell nice!
Coromandel is my perfect perfume. Chance is my power perfume in the sense that I wear for situations that call for alot of confidence- like job interviews for example. Otherwise I don’t think wear it all
I wore Chance through college, and loved it on my younger sister when she wore it for awhile. Each time I go back to it, though, it feels kind of frozen in long walks across campus. Glad someone is still enjoying it!
It’s really a shadow of it’s first self at this point
You smell great ! I like to smell Chance on others, but on me, it is not so nice. Same thing with Coco Mademoiselle. I do enjoy wearing Chance Eau Tendre.
Bottega Veneta edp, though I have a full bottle of Tom Ford EL body oil spray in my desk drawer here at work for when I need to escape. Pretty snow today doesn’t bother me.
Glad the snow is pretty!
Smelling gorgeous!
BV is beautiful.
You smell great!
Great SOTD!
Joining Austenfan and PL67 in layering perfume over body oil. In my case it’s Moonlight Patchouli over POAL body oil.
Have a great Thursday everyone!
Wish FM would do a coffret of mini sized body oils & creams!
That would be fabulous!
Yessss
Spending this snowy morning in vintage Feminite du Bois while checking on my refund status. Still listed as accepted but not approved. I wish it were approved and had a date that it will be in my bank account. Since I go into work today, I think I might put a dab of no 19 today.
Hope it is soon, Dawn!
Another valentines day -lover ready perfume: Ambre Loup
I will just quote Kafkaesque from the blog: “And, yet, I really cannot rave enough about the first 6 hours. It’s such an intoxicating, heady, utterly addictive brew with such sultry seductiveness that I keep wavering on whether to buy a full bottle.”
SipOTD Greek coffee
Wow, that sounds like you wouldn’t need to waver!
Its one of those perfumes you can’t spray and walk out the door, unless you want “looks” in the elevator.
Wow. I’m sold.
If you want to try to shoot me an email. Ciao!
You smell amazing!
This is so heady you can probably smell me from across the pond…
Well, we still have strong winds coming in from the west (the storm from last weekend named Ciara started out in US and Canada)….so youll never know ?
…what they bring with them.
(Forgot to finish a sentence there)
I bought a sample based on that review, and it went straight to the top of my FB list. No wavering here!
Sounds wonderful!
No perfume today – I’m recovering from the flu. My cat has attached herself to me, so the scents I’m smelling are kibble breath and kitty fur.
speedy recovery!
Cats are so healing!
Cats really seem to know when you’re feeling under the weather or a little sad don’t they?
Sistine sorry you had the flu!
Sending healing vibes!
Based on my experience, cats really help when you are sick. Get well!
Oh yuck, hope you are feeling better!
Sorry about the flu, but those are some of my favorite smells. Continued recovery wishes to you!
I hope you feel better soon. You’re making me want to get a cat.
Flu is no joke, I seem to have escaped it this year, plenty of hot lemon with honey will help you recover Sistine, I love the idea of a cat-nurse.
Get well soon!
Get well and snuggle your cat!
Hope you feel better soon! Cats are great nurses.
Eek! Hope you feel better soon!
Kitty fur and “Get Well” purrs are the best! Feel better.
Testing Couleur Vanille from L’Artisan today. Lovely musky vanilla and I intend to buy it when it launches properly next month.
AH, do say more if you can!
I’d say you’ve got to like those odd plasticky, play-doh style vanillas to appreciate it and it seems more straightforward than I imagined it would be. The immortelle is pretty subdued, just a hint of that (made up word alert) carameliness in the dry down, so don’t let that put you off if your phobic.
Oh my, this sounds like something I would love! Plastic vanilla, immortelle. Gotta try it. Thanks for the heads up. Btw, I’m wearing a LAP vanilla today.
Is it as much fun as the original Vanilia from way back when?
Thank you so much, that’s really helpful, and now I want to try it.
I tried it last week and really like it. It’s a good take on vanilla. I got a sample so I can try it a bit more before making the decision about whether I need it.
Yes, say more! Looking forward to trying this one.
Did you see BdJ’s review? I bet you smell great. I realize I always count on you to announce promotions and sales in the UK, it was thanks to you that I benefited from the L’AP 50% sale last year where I got Traversee du Bosphore.
Thank you, forgot she had reviewed it and forgot to read it while I still knew, ha…
SOTD is MDCI Promesse de l’Aube. I spent all of fall and most of winter questioning my acquisition of this (because it never seemed to call to me), but this morning it’s just the thing. Might take my tiny bottle of Tam Dao to work with me because Promesse will be gone by noon. 🙂
I love La Promesse, it is so incredibly pretty!
it really is! And I was wrong about it being gone by noon – it’s past that now, and I still smell pretty. 🙂
Hello! It has been a few years since I commented here regularly but I still love to stop by and read the blog. I see I’m a bit late to congratulate you on your 15th anniversary, but congratulations! Thank you to all the writers here for your work in providing this resources.
SOTD is Carnal Flower.
welcome back!
Waving hi! ?
Smelling good!
So nice of you to comment again.
Hello there! You smell fabulous!!
Thanks Melissa!
Hiya melissa! ?
Caron Piu Bellodgia
Robin, have fun on your vacation ! You smell great !
Thanks Barqs, we are having a ball!
I don’t remember if I ever tried the Piu Bellodgia, but it must be close to Bellodgia so you must smell great too!
SOTD: Narcisco EDP
I’ve not worn this in a while but I still really enjoy it. As we like to say, it was calling my name. So nice that it lasts all day long too.
We are back to rain, ugh. I’m not enjoying this winter at all weather-wise. Not having long days of sunlight is one thing but cold, rainy weather just makes it so much worse.
Ok, it’s Thursday and we are one day from a 3-day weekend – yay!
We are having a Northern California winter to my mind, just a bit colder temp-wise.
We were almost twins today! You smell great in White Cube!
Weather twins, alas! ☔
Memo Winter Palace. I am quite enamoured of it. Finished my sample, oredered a decant.
Ah, such a pretty bottle too if you keep trading up to the bottle 🙂
Aedes Oeillet Bengale, because I love it and it fits with the CP. My husband didn’t buy it for me exactly. He did give me the gift certificate to Aedes and was with me as I was trying to decide what to buy. He strongly urged me to buy the travel spray set of OB. I wasn’t convinced, but it very quickly became a favorite. (I have learned to listen to him on such things, especially shoes…). All sorts of rosy carnationy spiciness….
You smell just perfect
It was a toss up between White Cube and Coromandel this morning and ultimately went with Coromandel. Never a bad decision.
I finally got a rejection email from the dream job that I interviewed for way back on New Year’s Eve.? I figured since it was taking so long that that would be the case. It’s probably for the best since it would have meant relocating, but still, hard not to take rejection personally. Oh well, at least I smell fabulous today!?
🙁 sorry to hear.. hard break, especially when you really were excited about the role. Hope something even better comes along.
Coromandel is a great comforter and what I had on yesterday!
You inspired my SotD today!?
It is hard not to take rejection personally. I had a similar thing happen to me this summer. It upset me for quite a while but it did pass again. I’m now absolutely fine about it, although I would still love another job.
It is hard, but there was a bit of a red flag during the interview. The manager had not even been there a month and seemed less qualified than I am….this delay leads me to believe she doesn’t have a handle on the job yet. I don’t want any part of poor management.
Aww, well, sounds like maybe it would not have been the dream job after all. Still hard to take. I hope something perfect comes your way!
Hugs! Chin up…
Yep!? thanks. I’m a big believer in karma and fate, there’s a reason it wasn’t meant to be.
That means that a better opportunity will come to you! You smell wonderful!
I like your optimism, pl67!? Thanks.
I’m sorry for the disappointing news Madtowngirl. It must be the universe has something better coming your way! You smell fantastic!?
I’m sure your real dream job is still somewhere, waiting for you, don’t get discouraged. Well done for trying.
I’m sorry for the disappointing news. But yes at least you avoid relocating which is always hard especially if you like where you live now
I’m sorry to hear that. If it’s any comfort, I was very upset not to get a job I applied for a couple of years ago (upset beyond anything reasonable, as I realised later), but now have a much better job.
Disappointing news, but definitely not a rejection on a personal level. Now you’re just more available for the perfect position when it appears!
So sorry to hear that. But there will be other opportunities! Of course its okay to feel sad about, but I always tried to turn my disappointment into energy and focus for the next application!
I am a firm believer in “if one door closes…”.And don’t take it personally,although I know it is hard not to.That perfect opportunity will eventually knock on YOUR door.Hugs!!!
???
Disappointing for sure, but from what you said about the manager, possibly for the best. Onward and upward!
That’s too bad about the rejection, but it’s a plus if you noticed a red flag during your interview. Those usually end up becoming even bigger issues.
SotD is Bois d’Encens by Armani!
I am tired and weather is ?️☁️?️☔
But hey, I smell good and for me its almost weekend (1,5 hour to go) ?
Ah, Bois d’Encens, the most beautiful incense.
I’ve still got 9 hours to go before my weekend starts, so I’m very jealous. 😉
Hang on! Weekend is just around the corner
(even though the weather forecast says it will be rainy….weekend is still weekend!)
I am tired of the weather too..the kids being inside all the time after school is so frustrating for them and me. Come on sunshine! Show yourself
Good morning Y’all….
Well, I started the morning in Commodity Velvet, but had to scrub it today. Not sure why, but it was annoying me this morning with just one spray? Guess I just wasn’t in the mood.
Anyhoo, since it’s still raining raining raining raining and raining some more, tonight I’ll be sporting Dance in the Rain by Bath and Body Works. It’s either pout about the flooding and paying $225 for a roof leak repair this week, or DANCE in spite of it! I choose dancing as much as possible….. 🙂
Not too bad in the roof leak…add a zero at the end for a leak related repair to the ceiling of my basement.
OOF!! That is just the worst! I’m so sorry. Yes, $225 was a RELIEF truly!
SOTD #1: LAP Vanille Absolument (originally called Havana Vanille). I love the narcissus note in this.
SOTD #2 on my wrists: Mary Greenwell Plum, thanks to the generous Oakland Fresca!! I’m surprised how much I like this because it’s much different from what i normally wear. However, I remember Mals86 (?) raving about it on NST over the years, and because I like other things she likes, I wanted to give it a try.
Oakland Fresca, I’ll send you a proper thank you email soon.
And shout out to all the NSTers who offered gifts in honor of the NST 15th anniversary last weekend!
You smell great all over 🙂
Yay! I love Plum. It is a comfort scent for me. A rainy day scent.
Another gorgeous photo!
I’m in Kenzo Jungle l’Elephant again today because it’s sunny, cool and crisp. All hail the ?!
Sipping hot coffee while waiting for my windshield to defrost and then heading to pick up packages, which is always a fun beginning to the day.
Totally not perfume related, but has anyone ever been to the Tucson Gem Show? I’m off during the show and was thinking of heading down there, but hesitant about crowds, parking etc. If you’ve ever been, please chime in.
Happy Almost Friday Day!
You smell awesome!
I got Jungle l’Elephant in the Swapmeet a couple of years ago. (Thank you NST!) It was a “blind swap” and to my surprise I liked it a lot.
I’ve never been but maybe early in the first day if it starts on a weekday would be best.
I have been to the Sacramento Gem Faire, not sure if the gem show is a much bigger deal in Tuscon or a different kind of beast altogether? At any rate, it was not a crazy packed experience at all. I went there during my jewelry making phase and bought a bunch of beads and enjoyed looking at all the precious stones for sales. Prices are much, much better than anything online but you have to buy larger quantities. But- maybe I’m totally off here and the Tuscon gem show is actually more of a geology / gemology get together??
I’ve heard of it. I think it would be great fun, even if crowded.
Hey Deva,
Here’s one of my fave YouTubers that is in the gem/jewelry business, and a video about the 2019 Tucson show….should be helpful!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DZN3SuPNN0
Holy cow, small world! Years ago, I used to watch her make-up videos on YouTube! Thanks for the link. Although, I think I got the dates of the show messed up…??♀️
We have bright sunshine but it’s cold (for us). I like it since I get to wear a nice sweater today! My scent is the very romantic Alexander McQueen Parfum
I ended up getting a sample of this. It’s smells great!
SOTD = Tauer PHI Une Rose de Kandahar
pfl67 wore this yesterday! I was going to wear another perfume but decided it would fit better with the unicorn community project.
After wearing PHI twice already 7 weeks into 2020, I will go out on a limb to say that it will be one of the perfumes I will save were I to be mired into some version of the apocalypse since I will still share and I know it appeals to a good number of us (this is assuming of course that the perfumistas will somehow be in the same area, family optional if that’s your desire ?).
https://www.instagram.com/p/B8g9E1PBbw_/?igshid=ts2y52xpdq4m
We’re back to yucky weather but the good news is I smell good despite the yuckiness.
I will come for the apocalypse but I’m bringing the kids!?
No worries! There will be enough Phi for everyone! I will also bring my bottle! ?
Ha, I was going to say something similar! If anyone can get us through the apocalypse it is hajusuuri.
I just followed you on Instagram! I’m going to scroll through your old posts later today. Can’t wait.
That’s so kind for you to think of fellow perfumistas in the apocalypse and what they would want to smell. No lord of the flies in NST!!
LOL!
Oh yes.You do smell good!Hoarding mine for those pesky “special occasions”,like the apocalypse that’s coming.Lol!
Love PHI, definitely a scent to take with you in the apocalypse.
I’d bring my cats! Hope you don’t mind. ?
I’d join you for the apocalypse, and I’d bring OI to share plus my fluffster pup. ?
I’m in my current crush, Chanel Paris-Riviera. Sunshine for another cold, rainy day.
I’m so disappointed STC doesn’t carry Chanel any longer. I’ve missed out on smelling all these new ones. You comment reminds me to look on evil Bay for samples.
I was able to smell them at Nordstrom’s here, but paris Riviera was a small decant from the a prior freebie meet. I did get a larger decant of this on Ebay since I’m not committed to a full bottle. History has shown me that my crushes die after about 10-20mls of almost anything.
I learned that lesson the hard expensive way myself…lol.Instant crushes lasts way too short for me too…Men and perfume.Haha.
And my instant crushes just keep hanging around like cheap perfume ?
Haha! I blame being a gemini ♊
Smart! I’ve got travel sizes of some Malles and I’m beginning to see 10 ml is probably all I’ll ever need of them. I get it.
I haven’t even gotten through some FM 3.5ml samples!
I forgot to put on perfume today, and all my scrounging around in my bag proved futile. Craving something cozy for later—maybe Musc Ravageur?
I never can find the sample I thought I’d put into my bag either 🙂
Where do they go?!!
Probably the same place that socks do when they disappear from the clothes dryer. ??
So true!
OMG I am feeling sorry for myself. Battling a second bout of shingles…. driving me absolutely crazy. Fortunately my work is mostly rote today, reviewing the work of other people.
Valiantly offering cheer is a spot of Baiser de Russie (really am going to drain this decant today, I suspect) on my right wrist.
What bad luck so, so painful shingles, I went through it. Lots of painkillers, don’t try to be brave.
I’ve just got ibuprophen–not doing too much. 🙁 !
I’m so sorry to hear about the shingles battle. Coincidentally I’m getting the shot tomorrow, first one at any rate.
I got your package! Got home late last night so I haven’t been able to test anything but MG Plum. It’s one of my SOTDs, on my wrists. It’s much different from what i normally gravitate towards but I really like it! I’ll send you a proper thank you email after I’ve had a chance to smell everything you sent. For now, though, Thank You!!
I’m so glad!
I’m sorry OF, I hope it doesn’t last long.
Sorry to hear that, shingles is an awful thing.
First of all, you smell really good. That’s a good one…I love the pine freshness with the florals.
Second, sorry about shingles. I had a mild case once (on my face), got the old vaccine but still need new one. Hope you recover quickly.
My case looks really mild compared to what others have gone through, but it burns like hell…. or maybe I am just a baby!
Twice! I am so sorry Oakland Fresca.
Ouch, so sorry to hear that! Get well soon.
Get well soon!
2nd bout?! Ugh, that sounds miserable.
I am so angry at myself for dropping the ball on getting vaccinated. Oy! Miserable.
Oh no, what a gigantic drag to have shingles twice! My folks both had it and they were miserable. I’m glad it’s a milder case, but I’m sure it’s no fun. Take care and I hope you feel better soon.
I’m so sorry to hear about the shingles! I was able to get the new vaccine this year, and prod my husband to start with the first shot. He’s due for the second, so I guess I’ll do more prodding. He and I both remember having actual chicken pox as children, so we know the virus is lurking somewhere. I hope you feel better soon! If ibuprofen isn’t helping much, maybe acetaminophen? They work differently so sometimes one helps me when the other didn’t. Hang in there!
Rose de Petra for a very tired morning; I couldn’t sleep until 2am. I’ve been very unsettled. I need new, good books to read that aren’t depressing, and I need a new, good job whose management practices don’t upset me. Teeny weeny update on the second front: I finally applied to a job yesterday, after six months of definitely planning to apply asap no really. The final nudge came in the form of a recruiter from a competitor who reached out to me. I don’t think I want to work there? But at least it has finally made me read over my resume and email it out.
Sorry for the tired morning. Hope things perk up this afternoon.
Good for you for applying. You can always say no.
Getting that first application out is a major step, and you smell wonderful in Rose de Petra.
My number one rec for a good book that is not depressing at all is “Beautiful Ruins” by Jess Walter. (set in Socal and Italy, mostly – so sunshine built in).
I also really liked “A gentleman in Moscow” by Amor Towles (history novel but a good yarn, the type of thing you can read before bed and it’s just cozy and fun).
I have a gentleman in Moscow, on my TBR pile
If you want a fun light read I just finished Daisy Jones & The Six
I think I read it in 3 days..
I read travel diaries since they are rarely depressing. Hope you find a new job this year!
Good luck on the job front, Koyel!
Hey, you’ve taken that first step in your job search! Good to hear!
In Les Nereides Oriental Lumpur, a spice fest of all the spices I love, saffron, peper, cinnamon and so important… no cumin. It’s now firmly my budget Trayee. The only downsize is that I think it’s discontinued, this bottle is vintage.
I love saffron in perfume. I bet you smell wonderful ?
Me too, Lillyjo, I love the special dryness it gives to a perfume.
Sadly it smelled like Amber and spices on me, no saffron…. It went to another home
Sorry it ended up not being a success for you. Interesting, on my skin, I get no amber, it’s spices and woods, the saffron clearly there.
Also maybe different formulation? Mine is really vintage just perfume and water listed.
Still unwell. It’s my stupid sinuses trying to kill me again. The doctor won’t give me any more antibiotics because he hates me. I have to wait two more weeks to go in so he can tell me to get some kind of scan. Have I whined enough? Lol.
Sotd is Oud Bouquet. Haven’t worn this in a while. I’m concidering putting it up for swap. It’s very nice, but so strong! I only use a half spray in the cold weather.
Hope you will feel better soon!
Thank you!
Oh, no, sounds like the antibiotics didn’t do their job. Maybe he gave you the wrong kind. Meanwhile, maybe a lot of saline cleaning, my experience is that it really makes a difference. Hope you will feel better. Oud Bouquet is too much oud for me.
I’m doing the saline and everything else I can think of. The worse part is that the infection just sucks all my energy.
Strongs!Hope you feel better soon!Perfumistas need open clear sinuses!???
Seriously!
Your whining doesn’t bother me. Hugs and feel better
Thanks ltsg!
Oh that sucks – maybe find a more sympathetic & competent doctor? Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks. I might end up going to the med center, instead of waiting the 2 weeks.
Sorry lillyjo! Hope it will clear on its own.
Lanto Sinus (a probiotic powder that you swish around in your mouth) works great for me (have used it twice, both times for a few days), but my husband said it did nothing for him. And it’s a bit expensive.
Thanks Robin, I will look into it.
You poor thing. Sinus issues are no joke.
I would have worn Tobacco Vanille today, which was a surprise birthday present from my beloved a few years ago, but it’s a bit powerful for the all-day training session I’ll be in. Instead, I’ll go with the quiet Un Jardin Sur La Nile.
Sur La Nil is perfect! Hope the training was not too dull.
One of my favorites!
VCA Bois de Iris – from a sample that came with a split. It’s lovely!
Isn’t it just gorgeous!!?An absolute firm favorite of mine,you smell wonderful!
Does it smell iris-y? I don’t play well with iris
I think it’s a pretty good one for people who don’t like the really earthy,rooty Iris perfumes like Iris Silver Mist and Hiris.This is a soft woody vanilla iris,gorgeous drydown!
That sounds lovely.
Agree with johanob – this is perfume I find it hard to imagine anyone actively disliking. But then again, maybe I just have limited imaginative abilities :)! Definitely soft, office appropriate, no strong woody notes, has a clean vibe, easy to wear. Ok, I better stop praising this before I head off to evil bay and do something silly!!
I agree that this is getting dangerous!
I’m luxuriating in Puredistance Gold today.
love “luxuriating”
I have never paired well with a fragrance from the house of Thierry Mugler.I admire Angel from afar,I love Alien on a colleague of mine who wears it regularly,A*men was a cloying disaster and Womanity is just….odd.
BUT!
When I first sniffed my SOTD many years ago,my first thought was “ahhhhh….yes….I found my Mugler”.And I truly did.Miroir de Majestes,you beautiful sunbathed sexy amber…Let’s not forget the creamy milky jasmine/cardamom and a tiny bit of oud.Just lovely.Happy Thursday!✌?
The miroir series was so good. I hesitated between Majeste and Joyaux and went with latter and Miroir des Secrets also (aldehydes), you smell great and original.
Oh I did appreciate the Secrets one as well!
And Thanks!✌??
Aldehydes you say? Off to investigate
Yay! Everyone needs a Mugler to love❤
I am odd! I love Womanity! ❤
Well that was unexpected from you,M!Haha!It definitely has fans,but it is just not for me!Glad you can pull it off!Haha!xo
It is so hated! But I love it in summer time!
I rather like Womanity but can’t fathom wearing it in the height of summer! Wowzers!
Agreed!And this is totally LOVE.
sexy amber twins? 🙂
Abso-amber-lutely!!????
Wearing vintage Opium EdT, which was my signature in my early twenties…
Had a biopsy of my index finger nailbed today, because of a pigmented mole in my nail, so i am home. Sadly i cannot knit, so i am watching Locke and Key
Ouch! Hope it turns out to be nothing serious.
2nd that!
Hope everything comes out fine.
Ow! Sounds unpleasant. I hope that you get good news with that.
Ugh, that sounds painful! Best of luck for rapid healing and good results!
Up again at 0dark 30 for yoga, then a bike ride. Now sitting on hold with Air Canada… expected hold time is 2 hours. !?! I think I’ll take a nap while I’m waiting. Wearing Terry de Gunzburg Rouge Nocturne.
UGH. Might as well get some sleep.
Oh, but it gets better! After being on hold for 1 hour and 45 minutes, I got an agent who told me that since I had booked the ticket thru United (which I did because they answer after 5 minutes, not 2 hours), and I did not have her Air Canada record locator number (even though with the ticket number she could see I had a reservation) she could not help me make a pet in cabin reservation. So I had to hang up, call United for the AC number, and I am back on hold again… so far 1 hour 19 minutes and counting. Never again.
Omg, that’s insane!
I succeeded in the end but I swear, Air Canada must have a total of 6 reservations agents answering their phones.
Grrrrrr.
Get better to all those ailing. Personally, when I get sick I try to stop wearing make up, both to minimize touching myself and to avoid contaminating the make up. So a spray of perfume helps lift the spirit a little.
Last night, I noticed that it was still daylight when I left work. Today is cold and rainy. So it feels like early spring, although it still just mid-February.
Due to the rain, I am wearing Apres L’Ondee.
Oh, you smell fantastic Dilana!
Isn’t it such a great feeling to notice that the days are getting a little longer and a little brighter?
I was so excited to see the sky after 6 tonight. I can’t wait for spring!????
Following the lead of some others earlier this week with PHI une Rose de Kandahar. It’s so lovely, yet I hated it at first sniff.
Cheers!
Ah, you smell ?
Commenting and running since it’s a busy work day. Will read the comments later. I’m doing the CP in Bengale Rouge. It’s the perfume I’m most smitten with at the moment. Yesterday was Byredo Blanche because I was very tried after my Tuesday night concert and needed something easy.
How was the concert?
It was so good! It was worth being a zombie yesterday.
I’m in Bengale Rouge today too! It is so beautiful. I think Dryad still has my heart, though.
Finally getting around to commenting. Started out in Carner Barcelona Palo Santo, then added Bois Sacre (wow!) and Jo Loves Rose 25. The second and third are courtesy of Oakland Fresca! Thank you, ma’am!
Thanks everyone for sending such kind and wonderful thoughts my way. I think grief is a little like having a newborn baby in so much that you have to re-learn how to negotiate your world and that takes time. I quite like that sense of a circle. I think I will get my sense of smell back when I get my appetite back.
Happy valentines Day
Happy Valentine’s day Kanuka. I think you are exactly right about food and perfume… when we feel off, our senses are affected. I lost a ton of weight because everything I ate tasted like sand during my divorce. I don’t remember wearing any perfume during that time either. Go gently and be kind to yourself as you relearn your way.
Happy Valentine’s day Kanuka.
Hugs Kanuka. ?
Happy Valentine’s day, Kanuka! ❤
Late today! Gotta post and run for now, but I will be back later to read comments.
SOTD = Agent Provocateur EdP again. ???
You smell old-school great, Jalapeno.
Thank you Robin!
Sprayed on Hermes Hiris tonight. And now off to read the comments!
Perfect scent to scroll through the comments at night!
Thank you, I agree!
And I hope you are having a fabulous holiday. I love Bronze Goddess as well; to me it’s the perfect vacation scent.
Just saying hello!?
Did EldO Vierges et Toreros today but it did NOT match my mood. Le sad. Got a $10 bottle of Victorinox Snowflower at Winner’s today to test, it’s very orrisy apparently which isn’t normally my thing but we’ll give it a go over the weekend!
Bengale Rouge for me today! I’m quite smitten, especially as it’s a recent purchase. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
