It's Almost-Friday and International Tiger Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Parfums de Nicolaï Balle de Match, later renamed L'Eau de Sport, then possibly discontinued (I don't want to look, but I think I read that in a comment here). I do sorta wish I had a backup bottle? But I might never drain this one. Either way, I'm smelling awfully nice for a long day of chores.
Reminder: on 7/30 we're doing BUB Frenzy. Wear a fragrance that inspired you to buy a backup bottle (or that you wish you wish you had a backup bottle of, or you're thinking about buying a backup bottle). Adapted from a suggestion by chocolatemarzipan8.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2021, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

I would of course wear Tyger Tyger if I had it. But no such luck, so I will wear Diptyque Tempo instead.
I have been curious to try that perfume. Also Sticky Fingers.
Ooh, I have Tyger Tyger! So I wore it today, thanks to you!
Lacoste Elegance, which is not actually anything I think of as elegant (although the bottle is). It is novel, though: it has a loud and clear raspberry note, not something you’re used to in a men’s scent. It’s a bit jarring for a while but it eventually settles down into a warm, soft oriental.
That sounds kind of cool!
Hi Robin!! (As usual with Your SotD) I clicked on Your review of Balle de Match from 2006. Out of curiosity, is it the same bottle You were never able to drain in all these years?
To be honest I cannot remember. It might be? Or it might be the 2nd bottle. I did drain bottles faster back then, when I owned fewer fragrances.
Good morning.
Wearing Tam Dao lightly. I remembered a long time ago I wore Jeux de Peau (is this still in production?) too heavily one summer day and I nearly suffocated myself and since then I got scared of applying sandalwood scents when it’s hot out, but now I am easing way back. Tuberose is also one that I am scared to wear when it’s hot.
This is when I can honestly recommend Nishane’s Tuberoza – tuberose with all lights on BUT juicy and refreshing and amazing.
Thanks for the recommendation! Will try it out, hopefully soon 😀
You smell great! I find Tam Dao a dry sandalwood, so for me it works well in the heat.
I think it works well too. It is one elegant scent!
Good morning all, my SOTD and a scent I have a BUB of is Hermes Amazone.
Currently reading The Scent Keeper, and stayed up way past my bedtime, thank you to whomever recommended it!
Cup of coffee consumed and ready to flip open my work laptop.
You smell wonderful – just recently added that beauty to my collection, vintage edt per my usual buying habits.
Thank you! I find myself looking back instead of forward at the new releases.
I like the modern formulation, but the vintage has more depth..
I just ordered a used copy of that book, so you and the previous recommender (I know, that’s not a word) can share an enabler pin. Thanks! ?
Started out the day in a wee bit of Chanel Gardenia (my days start around 4 am) but have since sprayed a healthy dose of Dzongkha. They play nicely.
Tigers! A happy coincidence as the paper I’m working on now (the last one for my class) is a memoir/personal essay and it largely features William Blake.
It’s a little sad, but whenever I run across the name William Blake I hear Susan Sarandon in Bull Durham, yelling “I said William Blake!” at Kevin Costner.
I think the same thing (it should be noted, Bull Durham is one of my favorite movies).
I grew up in a town that had a minor league team (Grapefruit league), baseball players were everywhere in the Spring.
Ah, that is a charming little movie. I remember I really like it whenever someone mentions it, but then I forget about it….
Long, wet, slow kisses….
… that last three days. ❤️
Is it horrible to admit I have never seen that movie? And I like Kevin Costner! I’m sure it’s streaming somewhere. . .
Oh, it’s worth a lookie-loo! Years ago, I dated a catcher who looked very much like Kevin Costner. *sigh*
* sigh*, indeed!
Dilettante is my BUB of the day. I jumped all over getting a backup when I heard the news here that it was getting dc’d.
Also backed up HG Shanghai La twice when that one went down. My two favourite Hiram Green’s gone too soon ?
oh, congratulations. I kept meaning to get a first bottle of Dilettante but waited too long….
I did likewise. Two amazing scents.
Cool picture!
I’m in Assam of India, day 4. Down to the last row of elephants and no plans for a bub, so I am a fail for today.
Woke to the tornado sirens at 1 am. Just a little rain, lightening and wind in my neighborhood. The worst of it was east of us. I had a hard time falling back to sleep though, so kind of dragging today.?
Glad you didn’t get anything severe. It completely missed me! Ended up south, but not near as bad as they predicted.
Glad it wasn’t too bad, but certainly a disruptive night.
madtowngirl, I have a 3/4 full bottle of Assam I can send you.
if you like, email me at vivienne dot elliott1 at the land of outlook.
Thank you for the offer apsara. That is really sweet of you, but I don’t plan to replace this one when it’s gone. I’ve enjoyed it, but it’s not a love.
Glad for you guys that the big storms missed you.
Happy to hear you were spared! I didn’t get any sleep either so joining you in the tired camp.
Good to hear you were spared!
Waiting for a my very own bottle of Enchanted Forest coming in the mail today. Super super super excited. I may never have posted it yet but I always dreamed of having that one. Next on my list is a FB of Swan Princess which shocked me how gorgeous it is. Reminds me of my beloved Bond no.9 Park Avenue but both are different but hit the similar spot for me with their composition.
Enchanted Forest is so gorgeous, isn’t it?
Ohhh for sure. Black currant bush with it’s juicy berries and then just beautiful endless forest…
Enchanted Forest is a great one!
Ahhhhh, my houseguest has departed. It is fun having visitors, but also nice when they move on. I think my voice needs a few days off to recuperate from so much talking 🙂
BUBs, I’ve had a few,
But then again, too few to mention
Well probably too many to mention. I did realize that most of my BUBs were not exactly needed, so I divested myself of most of them (*cough* some of them), but I still have a few (or perhaps too many).
SOTD is Pacifica Brazilian Mango Grapefruit, which is my most egregious BUB collection in terms of sheer bottle count. When I realized it was discontinued, I snapped up what I could find. I have: one mini tin of solid perfume; two FB’s (29 ml each, so not exactly enormous); and uhhhh ten rollerballs (10 ml each). That should last me a while, eh? In my defense, it IS one of my most favorite summer scents.
Wait. I hear a song in there somewhere …I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention. …Lillyjo? Help me out.
Pixel’s doing it “My Way” 🙂
Aahhh.. beat me to it!
Aha!! Thank you!
Off the top of my head I think it’s My Way by Frank Sinatra. I’m not going to look it up. Am I right Pixel?
I am one who knows how generous you’ve been during your housecleaning! =^v^= But we have to have *some* backups, right? Right?? Feeling awe at 10 rollerballs 😀
I love their perfume solids, I’ve gone through several.
QOTD! Quote of the day!! “But then again, too few to mention …”
I just have the remains of Indochine on the cuff of my shirt so far this morning. Taking it slow because I overdid things a bit in the yard yesterday, and today is supposed to be H.O.T. Will most likely go with Paris-Deauville later on, whilst lolling about doing not much of anything.
Hope you are getting good rest SheriG!
Forgot to say, gorgeous photo, Robin! There is an artist here in CA whose art glass jellyfish sculptures I admire — soooo pretty. https://satava.com/collections/jellyfish (no affiliation)
Oh, I feel like I have just gone to the aquarium…
Wow, those are gorgeous.
Oh wow, how gorgeous! I love jellyfish. Years ago, on Eastern L.I. we had the kind that were irridescent at night. Way cool…
Wearing Zoologist Hummingbird today, it smells delish! I hope they never stop offering their perfumes in the travel size bottles.
I haven’t even tried a single one, and I hope so too!
Sampling DSH L’Opera Des Rouges and Roses. Pretty but not really me. Off to get a 20 year old portrait of me framed
Oh, hope it comes out lovely!
I think it will. The framer ended up suggesting a triple mat which I think will be really cool. Of course, they have a pretty big backlog so I won’t see the finished piece until about October
Everything takes forever this year!
Should have worn Tiger’s Nest! Oh well. I’m trying out OJ Man. Should have expected, a bit too “masculine” on me.
I usually don’t mind masculine, but yes, that one is too much for me too. Then again the women’s is too much for me 🙂
Hello NST friends, my dear Dad died on Monday, and I wanted to say thank you to you all for your kind thoughts, words of comfort and support. He went peacefully, and my brother was with him.
I’m wearing last couple spritzes of 31 Rue Cambon, frustrating that you can’t get samples of Chanel les exclusifes here in the UK anymore, since Chanel clamped down on it,(that’s what I’ve heard is the reason) but I have promised myself a bottle for Christmas. This was one of my few perfumes that makes me think of him and my step mum.
Could anyone reccomend a green oak mossy perfume in the meantime that is either very cheap, or I can get a sample of in the Uk? ?
After reading that Robin wore Stash yesterday, and then reading the review, and realising how cheap it is on eBay I’m treating myself to a blind buy, it sounds lovely for the heat.
I’m so sorry for your loss, mayfly.
I am so so sorry to read this, mayfly. gentle hugs to you.
My condolences mayfly. I hope your memories give you comfort and peace.
Thank you.. I’m trying to find a balance between distracting myself and finding time to grieve, it’s difficult having time off work which I need but dreading all the time on my hands too.. going to take the kids to the seaside tomorrow and have fish and chips on the beach and think about him together, which will be really good.
I am so sorry for your loss. Stay strong.
I am very sorry for your loss, mayfly. Sending you virtual hugs and wishing you and your family comfort.
Sending condolences to you. I think your seaside trip sounds perfect.
I’m so sorry, Mayfly. Sending you hugs and tenderness, and I hope that you have many sources of support and comfort near you right now.
Ach! So sorry about your pop. Taking the kids to the seaside sounds about right. Waves and chips are good balm.
My condolences, mayfly. Sitting by the sea is a wise plan, I think.
I’m very sorry for your loss mayfly.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your plan for fish and chips sounds like it will be very healing and affirming.
So very sorry for your loss, may his memory be a blessing.
Sarah McCartney of 4160 Tuesdays has a new scent called Oakmossy, it’s not on her website yet but I’ve seen it mentioned on her facebook page, and she sells very reasonable 15ml bottles. You can email her for a sample at 4160tuesdays.com@gmail.com.
Thanks so much cazaubon, I will email her for a sample. ?
Sending you my condolences and many hugs. Do take care of yourself!
Sending condolences, mayfly.
A reasonably priced green oakmoss is Scherrer (the 1st one).
It’s not anything like Cambon, but is lovely.
Ooh thank you for the recommendation, I haven’t tried that one ?
Sending my condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss! Sending condolences and hugs.
I would say Scherrer (the first one), and Clinique Aromatics Elixir are oakmoss forward. AE is easily found and reasonably priced.
Thank you smokeytoes ?
I am sorry about your Dad, mayfly. It sounds like a nice way to celebrate him by going to the beach. Sending you hugs.
Thank you so much all for your messages, the support of this community is so comforting for me.
I’m so sorry mayfly. Hope you found something good to buy as a temporary distraction…and I wholeheartedly agree with finding that right balance between distraction and grieving. Sometimes the grieving goes better if you don’t try to do it all at once.
Thanks so much Robin ?
So sorry to hear about your dad. May you find comfort in your memories.
Thank you very much hajusuuri, I really will
I’m so sorry, mayfly. I’m glad he went peacefully, and with family by his side. I lost my mother in 2017 and my dad a few years earlier. By the time they passed, it was truly a merciful release for them. My mother (English) used to refer to herself as “the Cat That Walked Alone”, from the Rudyard Kipling story. We believe she no longer walks alone. I hope you find some comfort.
Re green, mossy scents — it doesn’t get much better, or more affordable, than Jacomo’s Silences. I love it. I hope you can find some.
Thank you so much Old herbaceous, that’s a lovely but sad analogy, and that she no longer walks alone.. I feel like that too now, he’s with his wife.
I still haven’t tried Silences, I’m going to have a look now ?
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, Mayfly. Sending comforting hugs.
? thank you very much
Sending you my condolences mayfly. Hoping you can take comfort in your memories of your dad.
Thank you Nancy ?
Reading all of these condolences is a real comfort.
Just a lovely picture, Robin
I have two SOTD; Sana Jardin Tiger by her Side on one arm
and new new new Sana Jardin Incense Water on the other arm.
Their photo feed on flickr is worth some time, if you have some 🙂
Wearing Guerlain Vetiver Pour Elle. Am using up the second, 125 ml bottle much more slowly than the first. This was *the* go-to summer perfume first time round. Has the formulation changed? Is is that I have so many more perfumes now? Am I irked at having to decant? Is it Fickle Nose Syndrome?
Or all of the above?
Jour Ensolleille. I have a BUB of this waiting, so I sprayed with abandon.
You smell marvelous!
I have so many BUB bottles it’s not even funny and tomorrow is going to be a tough one. Spending more time in no 5 edp today and debating on if I should get a BUB of Eau Premiere or not.
My mother took the Kindle situation better than I thought she would. She said that it wasn’t my fault that the 3 year old Lab was mad they went to California.
Really glad your mom understood!!
Honey & chamomile body oil from a generous nster and Miller Harris Lumiere Dore are my S’sotD.
Sounds like a nice mix!
I bought a small used bottle of Covet, and shortly after that bought the biggest BUB with 100ml. I open it today, because a smaller one is used up.
I love Covet – I got two 50mls and one 100ml for very little $$ on ‘Bay. Then I had to get the flanker, Pure Bloom, for my completist fixation. I can’t tell you a thing about it; might have worn it once or twice. So silly.
It’s always nice to find a cheap thrill. And it is a really special scent.
So there’s a term for it: “completist fixation”? I think I have that.
I adore Covet, I have the huge bottle and treasure it. Wonder what Bloom is like??
ST – let me know if you’d like a decant of the bloom: kclberry before the at of netscape dotty net. I will try it next week and report in any case.
A YouTube rabbit hole sent me to a series of clips of Alan Cumming in Cabaret last night, so today I’m wearing the 2nd Cumming in his honour. Dreamy, sexy, comforting stuff!
The YouTube rabbit hole is so easy to fall down!
I did that rabbit hole recently! I was somehow discussing Cabaret with my kid and then watched a bunch of clips (after she went to bed) to see if I could show her any. Joel, yes. Alan, probably not so much. 😉 But great fun to watch him! I’ve never smelled any of the Cummings but I should — he seems so delightful that I’d bet his scents are good.
To my nose the 2nd Cumming is exactly the same as the first fragrance. It smells like a sexy library with leather chairs, open decanters of Scotch, and the scent of damp earth blowing in through open windows. Not a shrill note in it anywhere — it makes me want to lick my wrists!
But have you tried Cabaret, by Gres? I love it!
75F here at 9 am on my patio. I’m wearing Rhubarb Ecarlate because it is so refreshing when it’s hot.
I admit I am a tiny bit sick of hot 🙂
Just the mention of BUB’s made me think of Alchimie by Rochas. Before I fell in the rabbit hole of niche perfumery (back in ’04 with Park Avenue and Chinatown as my first niche perfumes) and when I was 12 years of age I went to a shopping mall and smelled Alchimie. It has completely stolen my heart. Throughout the years (before I knew niche existed) it was my number one. I have ran through at least 10 bottles of it plus even body lotions. Wish I had save one of my BUBs for a time like this: loooong discontinued but also became extremelly rare in the last few years and finding a bottle equals $$$. Alchimie, I do miss You!!
I’ve heard about its having a fan club. Does it seem like anything else that might be more widely known?
Well lilac isn’t that common a note and I don’t think in all my years of sampling that I’ve ever come across another oriental based on lilac
An oriental based on lilac – thanks for the summing-up! May that idea go further into the perfume world! That does sound fun.
Arquiste Vacation today…this is a like but not a love…the inflatable pool toy note is a bit strong in the opening 😉 but it wears off and gets more rounded in the drydown in my opinion.
That’s the sunscreen one, right? Glad I don’t need it!
SotD, and in for CP points: Mahora. I have a back up of the edt and a bottle of the parfum. I really like the bottle design, and the parfum has that wonderful mentholated type of tuberose. One of the edt’s came in a gift set, 50ml, a shower gel, and a refillable 7ml purse spray of the parfum. When I opened it, the parfum had leaked and there was just some oily residue. But I wanted it anyway, and even was able to “reconstitute” the parfum residue by spraying some edt into it.
Good thinking!
SOTD is Lubin’s Eva. Trying this for the second time (so no BUB on this). The first time I tried it a few weeks ago I had expected it to be sheer and sparkly, but it is more gauzy and perfumey. Going into it with the right expectation this time, I like it more today than I did the first time. it is similar my beloved Grisette, but with neroli instead of rose. And the sandalwood in the dry down works really well. I have enough left in the sample for at least one more wear. After that I may go for a FB.
My VIPs arrived just now = Very Important Packages.
That being said my Zoologist sample of Nightingale is here. It definitely smells like a modern chypre and it is mich drier than Chinatown. I smell lots of lemon and saffron ?
Wearing Boucheron’s Santal de Kandy–a decant from Royalty Scents. Something in its base reminds me of some of the BDK perfumes, especially the jasmine one. I just looked up the notes and the only posted overlap is jasmine, so it must be some aromachemical that doesn’t translate well into PR.
I spent the day in vintage Deep Red, no BUB and it reminds me of Jalapeño who wears it.
Surgery day tomorrow.
It reminds me of jalapeno too. I saw a bottle at tj maxx the other day.
Wishing you the best of luck tomorrow!
Thank you Lillyjo, it’s a good fragrance, I wouldn’t have discovered it without her.
Best of luck tomorrow!
Thank you Cazaubon.
Good luck!
Thank you Hajusuuri.
Wishing you a good day tomorrow!
Thank you Isabella.
Good luck!
Thank you.
More good wishes, Aurora!
Thank you Robin.
Good luck and speedy recovery, Aurora!
Thank you PL.
Sending good thoughts for you Aurora!
Thank you Gail.
Good luck tomorrow Aurora!
Thank you Nancy.
Continuing this week’s obsession with Perfumer H, I learned that Lyn Harris also created a fragrance named Oak Wood for the English “luxury essentials” clothing brand Sunspel. Here’s an interview with Lyn Harris about the creation of this fragrance and how she became a perfumer:
https://soundcloud.com/sunspel/sunspel-lyn-harris
Another brand I have never heard of! Looks like they’re selling it as a candle.
Yes, there’s a candle as well as EdP:
https://www.sunspel.com/uk/sunspel-oak-woodeau-de-parfum-1.html
I searched ebay hoping there might be samples, but no luck.
Well, if it’s Tiger day, I had better go spray some Tiger’s Nest.
🙂
Wearing Le Galion Cologne Nocturne today.
Wearing Caleche today. It’s the only thing I have even sort of a BUB of. I fell into the rabbit hole when I randomly picked up a tiny sample of the soie de parfum at a yard sale. Then I finished that, and bought a 50mL bottle from the actual store. Then I came across a bottle of Caleche edt (vintage) at a different yard sale, and bought that. Even though they are not quite the same, I think of it as having a BUB. I am wearing the soie de parfum today, and I’ll wear the vintage tomorrow.
On a totally different note, I was inspired by Lovestosmellgood, and stopped off at Nordstrom’s on 57th street on a whim yesterday evening. I tried Paris-Edimbourg and found that it is NOT for me. The beginning with the juniper is great, but then it goes a little too generic-“male”-cologne-note on me, and turns into a scrubber. Ah well, that’s one expensive mistake I didn’t make!
I love Caleche! I had a lucky find at a thrift shop. A three piece vintage set with a one ounce EDT, a small bottle of perfume, and a one ounce huile parfumee.
The EDT and the perfume oil only have a half inch or so left, but the perfume (maybe 10 ml, the label doesn’t say) is nearly full.
I use them when I want to feel lavish!
Oooooh, that IS a good find! Wear them in lavish health!
I love Caleche except that it is never quite strong enough for me. I’m sure I sniffed a friend’s bottle in the 90s that was just right and have never found one like that.
Ah, to help with that, I do what Hajusuuri does, and spray 5-8 times! 🙂
SOTD is Portrait of a Lady. Something I don’t need a BUB of. I bought the 3-pack travel spray, way back when they sold them in 3-packs for a much more reasonable price. And I haven’t even thunked the first bottle. It’s strong stuff, and I have to be in the mood, so I don’t wear it all too often.
Sounds like you planned well. I have never tried Malle. One day…
I don’t wear it often, either, but when I do I feel like this:
https://preraphaelitesisterhood.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/cowper1.jpg
Or this? https://scentsandsensibilities.co/tag/portrait-of-a-lady/
Ha — I don’t think I ever feel quite that put-together!
That one is so strong it needed a dauber bottle rather than a spray. Hard to imagine using it all up!
No SOTD, but if I were home, I’d probably be wearing L’eau à la folie. Instead, I am sitting in an airport in the fog. I’ve spent a lot of time in airports / airplanes in the last week…our flight to Haida Gwaii on Sunday tried to land twice, diverted to another airport, then came back and tried again to land without success, so they took us back to Vancouver and we flew up the next afternoon. Today, we need that plane to land so we have a flight home, and…same story. Waiting to see if they’ll come up from Sandspit to attempt another landing, or if we’re here overnight. I won’t complain, but I wish I’d had some warning…no idea where we’re going to stay tonight, and I’d rather be out exploring right now than marooned in the airport.
Clearly the universe is trying to tell me that I should have scheduled my Haida Gwaii trip for a day later. 🙂 But it’s all part of the adventure — gives us good stories, I guess!
Oh no! So sorry for all the delays, that sucks.
Could be worse — at least I’m in Haida Gwaii! 🙂
Oh, and L’eau à la folie because I wish I had the option to get a backup bottle (it’s just an easy summer go-to), and can’t. 🙂
I gave away my bottle as it was just not me.
Hope you’ve had a good trip though!
Going to be super hot in Portland OR today. I am wearing Violetta de Parma, which I picked up on a trip to Italy in 2010. It feels cool and comforting.
I always meant to get back to Italy, but my kids got married so there were weddings and babies and the time was never right.
I still hope to go back, but so much depends on controlling covid. :/
Ha, I have not been in even longer, and likewise, hope to go back some day!
And meant to say, you smell great. I always liked VdP.
Thank you!
I’ve got a few BUBs, but have tried not to go mad – I’ve more perfume than I can ever use without adding in the BUBs. I grabbed a BUB of Nahema EdP a few years ago, and I might one day use it, I’ve made a significant dent in the first bottle. I’m wearing it today, and very glad of the BUB.
You smell great, I have a BUB of parfum de toilette, it was an opportunity and jumped on it.
SOTD = Valentino Uomo
Such a wonderful perfume. I have a BUB for the same reason that ringthing mentioned yesterday – yes, I am making you look for it ?.

In other news, I was just about to poll NSTers regarding Zoom etiquette when I saw a tweet trending about Zoom. Let me do my own though as it is more specific:
Should a person who invited a group of people and who is also the main speaker and facilitator never be on video throughout the entire duration of the Zoom meeting? And oh BTW, I ended up calling this person’s manager not because of the Zoom thing but because her attitude sucked on more than one occasion (I provided 2 specific instances, the first one of which I contacted her directly with the feedback and once I do that, the next instance is an escalation).
Well, at the agency where I work almost everyone has young children and all kinds of home chaos going on at present, so I think we’re all super understanding of Zoomers, even meeting hosts and facilitators, turning off their cameras during meetings. That said, if I was the host I’d probably offer an explanation but I don’t think anyone would take it amiss even if I didn’t.
I see your point. The thing is, she has been back to the office although I can’t tell for sure if she was in the office – there have been several of these meetings so I would have expected that at least one of them would have been from the office. In any case, perhaps there is a difference in a company’s culture that determines acceptability.
If people don’t want to be on camera, why can’t you do an old fashioned conference call? I have only done a Doctor’s video visit for my daughter. The nurse was eating. I was shocked! ( ok, not shocked, just disheartened)
Eating on Zoom on camera is REALLY BAD in my book. I hate when others do it, it’s so nasty. If I just have to eat something (often because I haven’t eaten all day before another meeting), I leave my camera off and apologize with an explanation. Then I turn camera back on when I’m not eating. Simple courtesy!
Agree with you on the grossness of eating on camera. That said, while I think it’s cute to see pets, when you see someone having to move a giant cat from one side of the desk to the other side more than 2x, it’s time to move the cat to another room.
Zoom is the way to go to keep us more connected. I really think she has no valid reason but I cannot tell her manager I have an issue with that. And the eating, gross…other than drinking coffee.
Sotd started out as St. Clair Casablanca because I was craving jasmine. When it wore off midday, I was disappointed that I didn’t have any jasmine scents in my office stash. Not complaining, though because I have plenty of other lovely decants from you all to choose from!
Speaking of jasmine, BUB #3 is Rodin by Rodin when I heard the line was being dc’d.
Still so surprised they are getting rid of Rodin…glad you got yourself another bottle!
Thanks, me too!
I’m so behind on NST so just now reading this. I’m glad you mentioned Rodin because that reminds me to start trying to hunt down a BUB myself. My bottle is only half full at this point, and I LOVE this perfume so much.
Day off today but had many appointments. I’m having to change my daughter’s programs to adult instead of child now that she is 18. Ugh… paperwork and meetings.
I have had 3 perfumes on today. The Body Shop White Musk Smokey Rose. Elie Saab Le Parfum L”eau Couture and now Proenza Schouler Arizona.
Wow, you’ve smelled great all day!
Unintended layering usually smells the best!
Thanks to cazaubon, I’m wearing Tyger Tyger for International Tiger Day! I don’t have a BUB of it, but I have BUBs of several other 4160 Tuesdays fragrances: Scenthusiasm, Clouds Illusion, Both Sides Now, An Excess of Carelessness, White Queen. Yes, I’m a big fan of Sarah McCartney and 4160 Tuesdays: https://scentsandsensibilities.co/tag/4160-tuesdays/. No commercial relationship, just a fangirl.
I too have “BUBs, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention.” Except really, it may be too many to mention. Oops. I won’t mention Ostara again. You know.
Ha, and I won’t ask 😉
But I might have to sneak in a spritz tomorrow. Shhhhh.
I’ve been wearing AdP Vaniglia and Yuzu. Both are from samples. I like Yuzu a lot, but I’m possibly getting picky. I either need more from this one, or maybe I need more of it so it can grow on me.
It’s so hot here. I shopped for groceries to make a birthday feast for the hubster on Saturday, but tomorrow I need to make the cake and a side so I don’t have so much to do on Saturday. ?
I’m super late today but thought I’d still report in, I wore vintage Shalimar edc combined with the body creme; it’s a great combo!
