Tuesday scent of the day 8/11

Posted by Robin on 11 August 2020 217 Comments

Happy Teapot Tuesday! It also happens to be International Afternoon Tea Week, which I think mostly means you’re allowed a treat with your tea. What fragrance are you wearing?

I am still looking for my Kerosene Unforsaken, so meantime I’m in a dab of Kerosene Black Vines. No points for me but Black Vines always makes me smile. Tea is a blend of Numi Chinese Breakfast and Shangri-La Estate black tea (Nepal, from Upton).

Reminder: 8/14 is Creamsicle Day! Wear a creamsicle fragrance if you have one…

The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 10 August 2020 12 Comments

Extremely high on my list of things I want but will probably never see and would not pay the price for anyway: Loewe Beetroot room spray, from their new home collection that I also never would have heard of if the Times hadn't covered it last week. Due to launch in September, €85 for 150 ml. "Home fragrance with beetroot essence. Olfactory creation that highlights nature’s most authentic and pure scents. Glass container with glazed ceramic stopper and cotton label, providing organic textures to the product." For €70 there is a wax candlestick (see above, it looks like a candle in a holder but the whole thing is wax and so you have to put it on a plate or whatnot, and they do of course sell a black glazed terracotta base just for this purpose, €20) and also for €70 there is a regular jar candle (that's the small one shown above; the large is not yet on their website), and a diffuser for €210. Everything also comes in Honeysuckle, Luscious Pea, Tomato Leaves, Ivy, Liquorice, Marihuana, Juniper Berry, Cypress Balls and Oregano. I'll take the lot.

Monday scent of the day 8/10

Happy World Lion Day, and a very happy 60th to Antonio Banderas. (Sorry, for the rest of us it’s just Monday.) What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Hermès Myrrhe Églantine, because Tiffanie mentioned it yesterday.

Reminder: 8/14 is Creamsicle Day…
