Happy Almost-Friday and happy World Octopus Day (and it's also World Space Week). RIP Johnny Nash. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Comme des Garçons Ouarzazate for John Lennon Imagine.
Reminder: on 10/9 we're doing Beatlemania...celebrate John Lennon's birthday by naming your favorite Beatles or John Lennon song, and wear the perfume to match.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2020, where I'll try (but frequently fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Grab a hankie: David Bowie sings Imagine on the 3rd anniversary of John Lennon's death.
And the UNICEF: World Version.
And no religion too, Robin? 😉
I am in Robert Piguet Fracas for Beatles A Day in the Life. Especially for the parts with the orchestral build up and a loud piano chord at the end of the song.
Audio only:

Music video (may make you dizzy(, Miss Lizzy ? ):
https://youtu.be/usNsCeOV4GM?t=240
Form Fracas description on RB website: “Here, legendary perfumer, Germaine Cellier, sought to create a scent that would make its wearer feel like a bombshell; one that would leave an unsettling effect on everyone that encountered it.” I find this song unsettling although in a good way.
By the way, for those of you who love Dzing! I have an idea – Being for the benefit of Mr Kite! Both the perfume and the song are circus-themed. Just check the lyrics and music.
Ha, yes — I suppose then that if you put the lyrics in the comments, it would be outside the comment policy and I would have to delete your comment. That’s sorta funny. But it keeps the peace, and all we are saying is give peace a chance 🙂
Oops, sorry, I forgot about that part of the policy. I just found ironic that a scent dedicated to a religion was matched to… let’s call it an anti-establishment song to avoid any breach of rules. But I get the peace connection.
Ok, I totally misunderstood your original comment!
But also, did not know Ouarzazate was at all inspired by or dedicated to any religion…Avignon obviously is linked to a religion, and so is Kyoto, but Ouarzazate is just named for a town on the frankincense route, where incense was part of daily life? You may know something I don’t!
But also, I just picked Ouarzazate for the smell…I didn’t think it through so much 🙂
All scents from CdG Incense series were made with a certain religion in mind.
“…Series 3 Incense collection, which was launched in 2002 and was devoted to the five main spiritual teachings of the humanity: Avignon – Catholicism, Ouarzazate – Islam, Zagorsk – Orthodox Christianity, Jaisalmer – Hinduism, Kyoto – Buddhism and Shintoism. Each scent is named for a city important to these teachings…”
You smell great!
Thanks Glannys and Apsara!
Ouarzazate was my first niche perfume and I always think it has an intense visionary quality- so perhaps we could use that to get out the impasse!
Merlin, no worries, there is no impasse…agree about the visionary quality and anyway it’s my perfume now, not CdG’s 😉
Interesting! I didn’t know this about this series.
Good pairing, that chord and Fracas!
I keep forgetting I have decant of Dzing! Thanks for the suggestion – I will try to remember tomorrow morning!
Iris Torréfié
Has anyone been eating more these days? Maybe its the change of season. Two pieces of toast, 2 eggs and a bowl of granola with figs and yogurt.
I need some hand holding today. My oldest’s (who will be 6 in Dec) school is finally open and she went across town to the west side. I am so anxious about being across town from her. I know its ridiculous. When I think back to my childhood our bus ride to kindergarten was at least 20 minutes, I think it was about 15 min by car so by bus it had to be longer with all the stops and in and out of neighborhoods. Anyways, my youngest will join her at some point.
I have been finding it harder not to overeat, yes…I think that happens every fall, but it’s worse this year with the stress.
And may she be safe and happy and come home and tell you all about her adventures…was she excited to go back to school?
My issue isn’t overeating, it’s overspending. I am making purchases on the daily.
A lot of people are online shopping a lot these days. I am just snacking all. the. time. And since my back is still not 100% I can’t exercise like I used to
LisaD, I’m doing that too, although what I’m spending money on has completely changed this year.
Also true that since we are eating out almost never, and not spending money on other types of entertainment (concerts, bars, movies, etc) plus will have no vacations for a good 12 months by the time this is over, we are still coming out ahead. Maybe.
Me too. It is ridiculous– shopping endorphins. Oy~!
She was so excited, and very happy! She hardly said goodbye to me..meanwhile I am standing there almost in tears.
That is so hard! Hugs to you.
It’s not ridiculous, at all. Sending you my virtual hand to hold.
Grazie!
I was a wreck before my son’s preschool reopened (he’s four), but he has been soooo happy since going back.
When I asked him if he wants to stay home with me next summer when school is out, he said he’d have to think about it. Maybe your daughter will feel the same!
And I don’t know if I’m eating more, but I have been used eating whatever’s easy, which hasn’t made me feel too great.
Hang in there ltsg! Giving you another hand to hold. I remember when madtownteen went off to kindergarten. She’s the youngest and by the time she went to school, it had been 15 years of having a little person home with me. She’s the only one I cried when she left.
I hope she has a great day!?
I hope everything goes wonderfully!
?I Wanna Hold Your Hand!?
Clever one!
Perfect!
Awww, those were special days. I’m glad she was excited. And hugs for you!
Sends hand pat!
I’m not sure this helps, but how much harder would it be if she didn’t want to go and you were worried about her being unhappy there?
Hugs to you, mama. You smell great.
Hope she had a great day!
Hang in there, Mama! Your anxiety is completely understandable. Not eating more but sitting way too much is my problem.
Sending you a shoulder pat, hope all went well. When I’m anxious I stop eating, but my shopping is the problem.
I always find it hard to be out of shouting distance. It does get easier as they get older. By college, you will almost be ready–almost. . .
I’m with you, trying to eat healthier and chew gum or drink more water instead!
I’m sending virtual (Shalimar) hugs to you, having kids is challenging, now more than usual. Many of my friends are experiencing varying levels of angst with their kids returning to school, commuting, etc.
This is a challenging year for sure! HUGS to you!
I’m in Fille en Aiguilles, from a new decant. This is love.
FBW, then?
Definitely, but I’ll need to save my pennies.
A very good choice, I luckily got a used 50ml bottle, but it’s certainly FB worthy
You smell fabulous! I grabbed a BUB when all the changes were made to the SL line.
Reading the notes–that one sounds amazing!
It does smell “Christmassy” to me.
You smell amazing. Fille en aiguilles is one of my all time favs!
I was contemplating getting a bottle a few years ago before the old bottles disappeared in favor of the new gratte ciel ones. I regret not buying it then, because as good as the gratte ciel looks like, I won’t pay what they ask for.
I’m sticking with sandalwood in Samsara edp for Love You To.
I had the strangest dreams last night, and one had perfume in it! Then 3 am insomnia. The sun is out again.? The weather this week has been so perfect.
Ah samsara…sandalwood bliss
Yes, it’s from the mini, so it always makes me think of you.☺️
Enjoy!
Were are house twins today
I also had the strangest dreams last night! All night!
Strange dream twins, lol.
I almost had myself convinced it was spring this morning! ?
That would be nice, wouldn’t it? The sky was so beautiful today.
A dream with perfume is much better than the dream I woke up from – I realised I’d been dreaming about flowcharts and performance measures!!
Ha! True!
You smell fantastic. I wore Samsara yesterday and kept saying to myself ‘i need to wear this more often!’
Thanks! It took me a few wears to warm up to it, but now I really like it.
Oh and send a bit of sunshine my way please. Nothing but rain and dark grey skies hete ?
I’ll do my best!??
Late night/early morning insomnia twins, alas!
Ugh, hope we both sleep better tonight!
I’m in A Lab on Fire What we do in Paris is Secret. Ooooeee, it’s sweet! But not unpleasant. I’m always down for some heliotrope.
After a major teaching meltdown yesterday, I am trying to be more zen today.
I like that one!
Good luck staying cool and collected today, irisjasmine.
Mmm, you smell wonderful! This is the rare sweet scent that I adore.
Sending super chill, zen thoughts to you!
Ugh, sorry to hear about yesterday’s teaching meltdown. I hope that today was FAR better for you.
No perfume today, just oil treatment with rosemary on my hair.
Octopus day? Someone recommended My Octopus teacher, wonderful film!
Has anyone tried the Jo Malone candles for Zara? Just blind bought the Amalfi Sunday scent one online. Also tried the new home scents at Zara Home, highly recommend them plis the dark glass bottles are gorgeous. Just treating myself with these home scents brightens up the day!
Thanks for the reminder about the film. I found it and will watch this weekend!
A crisp Autumn day! Wearing vintage Hermes 24 Faubourg! Stunning!
Happy almost Friday, everyone! ?
Oh goodnessss you smell good.
Thank you! ?
I bet the vintage is fantastic!
It is indeed!
I’ve never tried the vintage, but I love the current version.
I have the current formulations also. Both versions are beautiful!
Thanks for the report on the current version, Gaynor and PL67 – 24 Faubourg has been on my watchlist, and I’m trying stay out of the vintage moneypit when I can!
Either formulation is great! I am sure you will enjoy it when you have the chance to try it.
I’ve only smelled the current 24 Faubourg, and I think it is opulent. I can only imagine how the vintage would be!
The vintage is richer, but not overwhelming. It is a beauty!
A perfect scent for a crisp autumn day. You smell wonderful.
Thank you, Glannys!
Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum
always a great choice!
You smell great!
Perfection!
Ahhh no, I won’t be clicking on either of those videos. It’s too early in the morning to cry.
I smell lovely in Mitzah, and there is a purring kitten on my lap trying to make work more bearable.
ALSO! Tigerlily has a set of LAROMATICA Kulfi variations!!! And it is discounted for a few days, even! I have it on good authority that a set has been purchased as a present for me. I’ll let you all know how lovely these oils are once I get my set 🙂 https://tigerlilyperfumery.com/collections/laromatica/products/kulfi-mini-collection?utm_campaign=emailmarketing_64706183270&utm_medium=email&utm_source=shopify_email
Want! Sound wonderful!
Super cute! I was actually at Tigerlily this past Sunday…as usual, I got overwhelmed by scent choices and left with one sample and guilt for not having bought anything. I did get to try some Hiram Green scents and they are on my radar now.
Inquiring minds want to know: which sample did you go home with?
Arquiste the Architects club. But I wish I had taken home a sample of Vivacious, and I didn’t even try Slowdive, which so many people here have raved about. I’m always at these stores with at least on impatient family member in tow, and due to Covid, you cannot actually enter the store yourself, so they spray samples on paper and hand the strips to you, then you step out on the sidewalk, take off your mask, and sniff.
Oooooo I was wondering how they were doing things during the pandemic. I haven’t been up since 2019. It’s probably been well over a year since I last went to Tigerlily, I think. Totally get the impatient-family-member-in-tow thing :-/ Next time I hope!
Kitty and perfume sound wonderful!
Well congratulations, enabler! Kulfi is wonderful, and I’m looking forward to sampling these variations.
Woohoo, I am so honored to have earned an enabler pin! I hope we both enjoy it!
Yay for purring kitteh snuggles!
Good morning nsters, slept 10 straight.
Cooler here, which is fine with me.
Maybe some idylwild post shower.
Nice! 10 hours straight… now that’s a dream for me.
Me too – was awake from 2 til about 5 this morning, and then Mr. G had to wake me at 7 (duty called), but bearing a latte which was nice.
Ugh. So hard!
I took a 30 min nap yesterday afternoon, just needed to close my eyes and bamb, I’m out.
I was awake from 2-4, so I feel ya.?
That was me then night before last. Except I woke at 2:30 and did NOT go back to sleep. I thought my 7 hours last night were wonderful. But 10!!
Nights of peaceful slumber are the best and you are going to smell wonderful.
go ???!!
A couple of sprays of Zoologist Squid for Octopus’s Garden (and world Octopus Day). I tried this once before and it left me meh, but I like it better a second time. It is a salty seaweed-y smell with incense. There is a little rose or maybe geranium. this is not really a tropical beach smell. Nice.
sounds lovely!
i like the squid for octopus‘ garden on ocopus day! ??
High eight! I have an older cousin who got bitten by an octopus when he was a teen and my 7 year old self thought that was the coolest thing ever. That was how I learned about their beaks and I was always fascinated after that.
You can get bitten by an octopus? Mind blown!
PS maybe it’s time to put that book about octopi (??) from the to read pile on the ‚reading‘ pile
You deserve extra points for matching your scent to both the CP and a national day. 🙂
sotd is Safari
So good
Weather today: ?️?️?️
You smell fabulous!
Thank you!
Thanks for the warning on he video, Robin. I did need a hankie.
SotD is vintage Paris. Since I can only be there in my imagination.
Seriously. I watched about 15 Imagine videos this morning to pick those 2. There were tears.
So many of our heroes lost. Undoubtedly, we were a great generation musically.
I hope that idealism returns soon.
SOTD: Coeur De Vetiver Sacre from freebiemeet — very pretty tea-infused vetiver
Better day today, yesterday my head was spinning from competing priorities. Had to get back to focusing on one thing at a time, finish that one thing, and then move on.
That’s exactly what the past few months have felt like for me at work 🙁 it’s driving me nuts.
I finally slept well – hooray! I’m in Barkhane from Teo Cabanel. I’m sure it could go with some Beatles song somewhere… It’s a lovely and unusual fragrance.
Oh yay!! Sleep is better than anything.
Still feeling craptacular but wearing Solstice Scents Postprandial to stave off said crap.
Maybe a vanilla question will cheer you: what do you think of Mugler Aura? I find the vanilla rhubarb combo haunting and it is a very powerful vanilla to me. Apologies if you’ve already commented on Aura. ?
I do love vanilla questions and thoughts 😉 and must confess that I haven’t tried Aura I don’t think but will seek out a sample. I recently tried 4160 Tuesdays Rhubarb & Custard and really like it and was debating if I need more. Aura seems to have similar notes and I love both haunting and powerful when it comes to vanilla too.?
I rather like Aura, it certainly is original.
I’m edging toward a FB for that reason; it is different and I love the bottle.
2020 has been craptacular for sure. Sending vanilla hugs!?
Thanks, MTG, it sure has.
Can I steal “craptacular”? I feel I could use that word a lot haha. Hugs.
Please do! I know they used it on The Simpsons probably 20+ years ago but not sure where it was first coined.
Bart Simpson would definitely use the word “craptacular”. And his sister Lisa would probably object to the vulgarity. Hugs.
Happy almost Friday!
I’m in Lavande Romaine from Perris Monte Carlo. A very pretty & realistic lavender fragrance. It’s my first full day with it so more thoughts coming a bit later 🙂
Do you find it has any similarities to Brin de Reglisse?
I’m always on the hunt for realistic lavender perfumes–no vanilla, a little salty, and a dollop of medicine.
Octopus Day – built-in tie to the Beatles (although, Starkey rather than Lennon). 😀
SOTD is Cuir Cannage, and I have no brilliant ideas for a tie to John Lennon other than Imagine All The … discontinued fragrances could be had by wishing for them.
? Thanks for bringing a little levity to brighten somewhat melancholy mood over here, SheriG. And I love your tie-in. Wouldn’t it be loverly?
It would indeed. Nice to see you here again, AnnE!
thanks! ☺️
You smell magnific! Cuir Cannage is one of my favorites.
Spent some time in Coco Mademoiselle this morning. Now it’s a small dab of Hedonist right now. Still haven’t started a candle yet this week. Just haven’t been motivated to light one up yet.
Dawn, you have motivated *me* to burn my candles more often!
I click on anything with Bowie. Sigh. Imagine isn’t my favorite JL song but I like Bowie singing pretty much anything lol. Rock n Roll with lipstick:) Is there anything better?
Wearing Armani Mania, which sadly has turned.
World Ocotpus Day?
Oh yes, sing it Ringo:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=De1LCQvbqV4
Plus, just look how young and fresh he looks here! He’s a baby.
That is such a fun song!
SOTD = Dilettante my lovely sadly discontinued orange blossom fragrance which is more appropriately a summer scent. As the days are getting shorter, I am already yearning for the longer days of next summer, so the Beatles song that goes with Dilettante is “Here Comes the Sun”!
I am already longing for those summer days too. Great song choice!?
Good pairing and you smell marvelous.
I love Dilettante! You smell uplifting ?☀️
I agree it reminds me of summer, but I think it has a certain warmth/glow that makes it great it colder weather as well
Well, now I am well and truly freaked out. Has anyone seen the news about the arrest of the 6 terrorists who were plotting to kidnap and murder Governor Whitmer? It turns out a couple of them live just a few miles from me.
There have been planes and helicopters and FBI agents with automatic rifles patrolling the road I live on all day. I don’t know those people, but this is way too close to home, you know?
I don’t need just a new job, I need a new home in a different state…
I saw the news; very scary and sad 🙁
Wow, right on your road! That would freak me out too.
YEEEK! That would freak the ever living daylights outta me, too.
Way too close. I would be freaked out too.
Now, I have to watch the news!
I’ve been semi avoiding it. We share the same governor.
Bulgari Black with its notes of rubber and tea as a match for Lovely Rita, meter maid….
I got a new collegue this week and he is a really nice guy. I hope we will work together well
Hope it goes well with your new colleague.
Here‘s to a good working relationship!
Thunked a sample of Magi du Desert today. It’s great, but like others that are similar more. I can admit that I do keep sniffing myself though.
Yesterday I tried Cabochard for the first time from the freebiemeet. I was worried at first it would smell a little “old lady” for my work- not that I think that but maybe others would. Goodness it really hung in there all day and I could even still smell it on my arm last night. I enjoyed it a lot. I tried the vintage version and will compare it to the current (which I also received a sample of) soon.
One of my parent’s close friends and our neighbor growing up died of COVID-19 on Tuesday night. Super sad yesterday. It’s hard to hear my parents so down and sad, and it obviously upset me as well. Stay safe, friends.
Sorry to hear that.
I’m so sorry for the loss.
Sorry to hear that, KellyC.
On the plus side, vintage Cabochard has been a fave of mine for a long time. I love the graphic design on them, too!
Oh dear – so sorry! My grandmother died from covid too… so many lives cut short.
?
Gah! So sad. Heard something the other day relating to COVID from a friend who works at Children’s Hospital that has had me gasping. Won’t even repeat it because it won’t help anyone. I am so sorry for your family’s loss.
Oh, so terrible, and so sad. I’m sorry for your family’s loss…..
Oh no, condolences to you and your parents KellyC.
My condolences, KellyC. So sorry to hear that CV-19 has taken someone you were close to.
I’m so sorry KellyC. Hope you and yours stay safe too!
So sorry to hear that. Hugs.
I’m comparing Bucoliques de Provence and VCA Bois d’Iris this morning. They are both lovely, not the same, but perhaps close enough to not need bottles of both. I also spried on Iris Rebelle and I think that one is so assertive it’s drowning out the other two a little.
Headache this morning after one small glass of wine with dinner. We are members in several wine clubs (live very close to wine region), and just before the pandemic, I was going to cancel all of them – but now I feel I must support them through this. Why can’t we be members of breweries instead?! 🙂
Which do you prefer of the two? I LOVE VCA Bois d’Iris. A wine club membership sounds divine right now haha!
Bucoliques is the one I have a FB of – but Bois d’Iris is lovely, too, and a good price at fragrancenet…
A wine club sounds nice, keep them
Have you asked the craft beer companies if they now have a subscription program?
I don’t dare… 🙂 In fact, one of the winemakers is really a closeted beer maker, but I think he doesn’t have the logistics etc. I’d definitely stay with them if they became a brewery!
… but you would be supporting local indies ? (I don’t drink beer ? so will enable haha)
Pst, do you know about the Bruery? https://www.thebruery.com/pages/society They have some truly fantastic beers (at least, they are to my taste), and they have a quite reasonable subscription program. Also, they’re Californian, so they’re, uh, semi-local?
On this darn weight loss journey I’ve embarked on–wine is the thing I actively miss, every single day! I steal sips from my husband, but golly I miss it! Living vicariously.
In other news, I’d love to send you a decant of Vivacious. Are you still on _r_d_n St?
I am! I wish I could offer you wine in return. I mean, I can, but that seems counterproductive! However, have you tried Nicolai’s Haute Provence in your search for non vanilla lavender? Because I could totally send you a decant of that one… 🙂
Oh I’d love that. Deal. I may not get to it until this weekend. Depends on my procrastination schedule 😉
https://youtu.be/aLEhh_XpJ-0
A light-hearted song, paired with Antonia’s Flowers, probably one of my prettiest scents.
That song really takes me back! Which is really saying something since I live twenty years behind ?
? I felt the same, they both look like they’re having a great time.
SOTD Jardins de Bagatelle Bee Bottle edp with lots of spritzes. The name matches my feelings about it, a total happy place. Its launch predates my fall down the rabbit hole but it has a nostalgia around it.
Love JdB! You smell great.
I have some long-time perfume loves that predate my perfumed explorations. It’s comforting/happy-making that I still enjoy them.
SJP Lovely this morning, to freshen up last night’s Byredo Velvet Haze. Which is basically Narcisco Rodriguez For Her EdP, imo. 🙂
For more money, of course!
Sotd is TF Fleur de Chine. I’m matching it to Michelle (my belle) because they both sound french, but aren’t. Lol.
https://youtu.be/WoBLi5eE-wY
How clever? you smell great, Café Rose, Fleur de Chine, Violet Blonde are my only bottles of TF.
???!
Excellent!
SOTD = Gucci The Voice of the Snake
Bottle porn for sure but black is so hard to photograph. Patchouli-soaked leather Band-Aid ?.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CGF5YG_BoWG/?igshid=213ndw32idmn
The Making Scents of Studio 54 was a fabulous smellinar. Jessica kept the session very interesting and relevant and provided a good mix of history, fashion, perfume marketing, perfume smells and show & tell. I bet if I turned down the lights and turned on the strobe version of Flashlight, I could be participating from Studio 54!
A sample of that was given to me by someone (blushing if it was you!) and I liked it a lot. The price not so much.
No blushing needed because it wasn’t me as I literally opened my bottle last night ?
Love that bottle! Does it feel nice too? As in is it weighty?
It is absolutely weighty, very nicely constructed.
“Patchouli-soaked leather Band-Aid”? Sounds great! ?
I’m still smelling traces of it. When I was out for my walk 8 hours after initial sprays, it actually became more prominent probably because it was cool outside.
Patchouli-soaked leather Band-Aid sounds very appealing! Yes, the bottle is porn ?
I’m not a big Beatles fan, they’re too often a bright and perky. However, I do like some of the slower songs like Eleanor Rigby. It’s melancholy, so I’m inspired to wear Après L’Ondée.
That’s a great match.
My favorite Beatles album is the White Album and Julia is one of my favorite songs on it. This song pairs beautifully with the entire sample of DS&Durga Rose Atlantic I sprayed on myself and it is a a thunk and a no. I am getting a lot of hairspray and not rose or Atlantic. The hunt for the perfect aquatic rose persists.
Julia is such a great song. I used to listen to that album over & over.
Barely keeping myself going here amid the rising panic of the impending move. 5 more days. I’m wearing Atelier des Ors and hiding in my bedroom trying to pretend nothing is happening.
You smell marvelous! One should at least smell good whilst hiding and dealing with the angst of moving.
A bit of head in the sand is good for the soul sometimes!
I call that a “la la la moment.” I go in my room and ignore the world, “la la la, I can’t hear you.” 🙂
I’m no Beatles fan, but mu SOTD is Armani Privee Oud Royal. I will wear it more often this upcoming season.
Not a single song?
The only one that comes to mind is Free as a bird. Oh, and who doesn’t know Imagine?Beatles is not in the style of music that I relate with…
Gotcha.
SotD = Le Lion
. . . from a decant I’m so very grateful to have! and I feel the need to roar a little bit.
Thank you to Robin for the Imagine links, so perfect for my mood today.
I’m going to wear Avignon later, I think it will be a pretty good fit for a chill music exploration session this evening.
Really looking forward to tomorrow’s CP. Music and scent and memory are a powerful combination for me, I’m interested to read what everyone chooses.
Hope everyone has a Thursday that holds something to be thankful for. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed them!
Portrait of a Lady for me today. I went for it after Eau Capitale yesterday because they have been compared so much and I wanted to sniff the similarities for myself. I can see a vague resemblance (patchouli, rose) but I find them quite distinct with the incense / smokiness being really prominent in portrait to my nose.
Anyhow… all week the Beatles song in my head has been Strawberry fields (living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see).
Am closing off the day in ‚like this‘.
Generously applied Bal d’Afrique hair scent to my hair this AM for my 7 AM Zoom meeting. Am totally wiped. Found out late on Monday I had to give a brief presentation at 6 AM on Tuesday that took me until near midnight to prepare–Have not recovered and the early meeting this AM did not help. I am too old for this schedule!
Got nothing for the CP today, but enjoyed those who commented about it!
Whoa! Hope that you get a break from the killer schedule soon.
Two more songs from Van Halen today. Because.
https://youtu.be/OOjm4I7LRgY
https://youtu.be/rMV-fenGP1g
I admit that I made a few snarky comments about “Van Hagar” back in the day. However, that version of the band made some pretty good songs, too. Just different from the David Lee Roth-fronted version of Van Halen.
SOTD = Jean Patou 1000 EdT, from a new bottle. This version doesn’t have the oakmoss that the original did, but it is a pretty, ladylike floral. I’d call it a good office scent. A couple of NSTers get enablers pins for this one.
I was a big Sammy fan, so it didn’t bother me as much. I prefer the DLR years though.
Interesting.. I don’t have any impression lf what it smells like.
