Monday, Three Kings Day, Rowan Atkinson’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Prada L’Eau Ambrée.
Reminder: on 1/10, wear a fragrance by Ormonde Jayne, Olivier Durbano, Odin New York or Olfactive Studio, if you have one…
Nobody really knows what you’re wearing
Nobody really knows what you're wearing. You're not walking around with, like, a Gucci belt or a Dior bag or something that people can see. So actually, I think one of the great things about perfume is that it is about self-creation and self-performance.

Lazy weekend poll ~ winter viewing list, episode 6
The weekend! Saturday is the 11th night of Christmas (pipers piping) and Sunday is Twelfth Night (drummers drumming) and National Bird Day. We’re marking all the occasions with the “visual media” version of our winter reading poll. Tell us…
…any great tv shows you’ve discovered recently, and/or
…any great movies you’ve seen lately, and
…of course, tell us the matching perfume(s)!
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
Immortelle x 2
Two videos from L’Occitane on immortelle production in Corsica.
The daily lemming
I've been watching Lush USA hoping for the appearance of Sonic Death Monkey, which was recently revived in the UK. No such luck, but they have dropped a bunch of Valentine's Day stuff plus a bunch of 200 ml body sprays ($30-$50), including old favorites like Flying Fox and Rose Jam. Shown are Coco Loco ("Mist on a little Coco Loco for a fresh breeze of palm trees, sandy beaches and total relaxation. Brazilian orange, coriander and lemongrass oils give lightness to the creamy coconut base of this perfume, evoking memories of your perfect tropical getaway.") and Yoga Bomb ("This rich, grounding fragrance will have you feeling at peace in no time. A balancing blend of sandalwood, ho wood and olibanum oils offer an earthy, cleansing vibe, while its sunshiney cassie absolute aroma awakens your senses.")
