Saturday is World Art Day, National Anime Day, the Universal Day of Culture, plus Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday. Sunday is World Voice Day.
We’re chatting (in between visits to the swapmeet) in our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you'll buy with your (real or imaginary) tax refund, whatever.

Just getting cozy after a shift in which one male patient looked me up and and said, “You must be the oldest nurse here.” So, I chose to consider that comment a compliment and replied, “And aren’t you the lucky patient to have such an experienced nurse looking out for you!” I kinda get where he’s coming from though, because it’s (mostly) all new young nurses here. And they all want to quit.🤣
Currently sporting a fresh spritz of SL Cuir Mauresque while snuggled up with T-Rex who very much approves of this scent.
Hope everyone has successful swaps today!
My local News had an article last week saying 40% of our Nurses here want to quit.
Not surprised, but there many other things nurses can do besides bedside nursing, and that is exactly where most are headed.
It hurts when you hear comments like that,but good for you for the positive spin on that.
Very soon there will be NO qualified,experienced nursing staff anywhere,so keep pushing us…I’ve had a rough couple of weeks with so much upheaval at work myself,that I was/still think I am on the verge of quitting the profession myself.
Just remember what I always tell Deva. There is a special place in heaven for nurses.
JB, I hear you! I hope these last rough weeks smooth out for you. It’s always good to research your options, and sometimes, just KNOWING you HAVE other options helps to reduce the stress and hopelessness one can struggle with. Keep your chin UP! 😎
The nurse situation is worrisome and totally understandable. I’m worried about a pharmacist shortage because no one wants to go to school for it just to be yelled at by customers, that’s the gist of something I saw online.
I’m pretty friendly with my pharmacist. He has told me plenty of rude customer stories.
Yeah, I can just imagine. And crime! They are a bullseye hit for some desperate drug seeking folks.
And pharmacists have to have a PhD these days. That’s a lot of schooling and student loans.
Exactly.
He is lucky indeed! I always consider my kids lucky when they get the oldest teacher in the school as their main one!
I think he was genuinely shocked! Time to re-purple my hair because that always puts older folks in a back spin. 😀
This makes me so sad that so many are leaving the profession. I had so many opportunities during my nursing career and loved almost all of my jobs. When I hear someone is going to go into nursing, I try to encourage them and let them know there are so many avenues they can choose. Unfortunately, a lot of us baby boomers are now retiring and that isn’t helping the situation. Thanks for hanging in there Deva. We need people like you!
Oh, I think most go into a non-bedside position and are quite happy there. IMO, the dissatisfaction of hospital employment, no matter if you’re an RN, RT, EVS, Dietary- is because of admin. Otherwise know as the medical mafia, whose goal is to make as much money as possible. Just read an article about a non- “pro-profit” (there is NO such thing!) who spent a whole lot of money to not only avoid giving this free care, but then hound the very people for payment even though they were entitled to free/reduced care costs. Here’s the article:
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/they-were-entitled-to-free-care-hospitals-hounded-them-to-pay/?amp=1
Good Lord, forgive the typos! Walking, talking, and texting are clearly out of range for me!🙃
Oh, I definitely agree with you there. I only did bedside for about five years and then administration and education.
I can understand the medical mafia and have seen them make tons of money! Very sad.
My daughters are relatively new nurses and they have no intention of quitting! They love the field despite the difficulties.
Good for them! Curious if they are working bedside in a hospital? If so, I hope they’re still there in 5 years! 👍🏼
And meant to say that it has nothing to do with love or hatred of the field. Most are leaving or want to leave because exceptionally poor management and administration and there has been a drastic change in the patient population in the last 10-20’years. The good thing about nursing is that if you get tired of one area or specialty you can go into a completely different area and it’s a whole new learning experience. This is what helped me keep my sanity for 30 some odd years.
That cracked me up! I am sure he was just surprised to see an adult.
Ha! Adulting my way towards a walker and a pair of depends! 🤣
How old was he? Maybe he was ineptly attempting to flirt with you! I myself am always a tad concerned when the young nurses with the stenciled on eyebrows come in to do hubbies’ infusions- the one yesterday couldn’t find a vein. But maybe I am stereotyping.
He was about a 70 something. There are many young nurses who are top notch. It all depends on experience, and a whole LOT on attitude. Last night I was in a room with my patient and the neighboring patient in the bed across the room had a visitor that stepped in. It was his son, who had not seen him since he was admitted and drove a couple hundred miles to get here. That patient’s nurse told him visiting hours were over and he had to leave. Technically, she was right. Her attitude when telling him this was very impersonal. This really angered me and I immediately placed her on my internal list of “People to Avoid.” It’s a looong list! 🙃
Yes, she isn’t the defining factor on whether people are competent and compassionate. I shouldn’t have made that crack! Sorry to all who are nurses, or like defines eyebrows, of whatever age. Bad on me .
I did not care one whit how old the ER nurses were who looked after me on Thursday! I just wanted someone who was capable and compassionate. Fortunately, I got that.
But yes, they were young.
I’m glad you had a good experience in the midst of all that stress. Hope you all are recovering physically and emotionally. 🙂
Compliment it is.
I did my yearly survey requested by the big for- profit health care company here and I took the opportunity to tell them they need to reward and pay their nursing staff and NOT overload them. Not sure they will listen.
A lot of the nurses are quickly going to NP school.
I’ve worked with many nurse who were going on to NP or Anesthesia school when I worked ICU. It’s a double edged sword IMO because you’re shelling out a lot for school and often not making more money when you hit the flooded job market. There are anesthesia groups that will it hire nurse anesthetist because they feel that it’s their turf and taking money out of their pockets. If you get in with a physician group, many times you’re the one doing the “dirty work” like taking call all the time, doing nursing home rounds, etc. but if you can find your niche with a good group, you’re golden!
World Art Day *and* the Universal Day of Culture? Sounds like they’ve got all the bases covered. (I assume at least one of them was given this day because it’s also da Vinci’s birthday.)
I think YSL Yvresse is artistic enough to be an appropriate wear. I like it in part because it makes you think: a lot of scents are designed to be merely pleasant, and that’s fine, not everything has to be an intellectual exercise, but most chypres — this one, certainly — are thought-provoking. More than other categories, I think, they set your brain racing, they call up associations, they compel you to experience and re-experience them as they evolve over time. (Grès Cabochard and EL Knowing are two other chypres in particular that always evoke this reaction in me.) Yvresse, for all its sheer fun, and it really is fun, is a surprisingly cerebral scent. All morning I kept catching whiffs of it as I ran my errands, and every time, I thought some variant of, “Oh, *that’s* interesting!”
World Art Day is purposely the same as LdV birthday. No idea about Culture Day.
I’m failing miserably in keeping up with NST while I’m on holiday, but I’ve just read everyone’s confessions to Donatella in the last damage poll. There are some impressive hauls there! I had two of the Patou Heritage to admit to, but I’ll add those to the next quarter. That will be a lengthy list, as I’ve gone a bit wild here in Paris.
I was disappointed not to be able to get number one of my list, Serge Lutens has discontinued Mandarine Mandarin. I knew things were being dropped, but hadn’t realised that was one of them. The good news is that they now shower you with samples when you make a purchase at the Palais Royale boutique.
Rousse was number two on my list and I got that. I also bought 50ml bottles of La Couche du Diable and Écrin de Fumée. I would never previously have paid full price for the export line, but with no access now to Fragrancenet from New Zealand, I decided to pay lots of money now to avert disappointment later 🙂
We’re flying to Athens tomorrow, so are on to the last stage of our holiday. There are some Greek perfumers to check out…
Oooh, do update on the Greek perfumers — headed there this summer!
I’m vicariously enjoying your shopping!
Gaynor, so glad you got 3 Serges! They will be nice memories of your trip too.
Hope you have a wonderful time in Athens!
Safe travels to Greece!
I am looking forward to your perfumed confession next quarter. 😎
It sounds like a wonderful trip so far. And Greece will be fabulous. Enjoy!
Wearing some Diorling edt today. I am going to have to miss the Sephora spring sale. I am not even mad at that since I am on a strict budget until at least July. This budget is new and I do have to start using up some things.
You smell so good.
Diorling is wonderful stuff.
Diorling is completely dreamy. ❤️
Still in the remnants of PdN New York Intense from yesterday, lingering on the bandaid I have on my wrist right now.
Question for those of you who know NYC well: What are the “can’t miss” perfume stores? I’m headed there for a solo weekend next month, and plan to do some sniffing. I know that Luckyscent has a Scent Bar there, and I’m planning to stop in at Otherland and Aedes as well. Is there anything else I should just not miss?
Not a New Yorker as you know,but I think Osswald NYC is still around with their impressive Wall of Scent?
Oh, that’s right, I’ve seen them mentioned here before! Thanks!
FYI I just got an email from Osswald today saying “We have great news, we will be reopening May 1st, 2023, in our new location at 242 Mulberry Street New York, NY 10012 in the NOLITA neighborhood.” AND they are offering 22% off with code 22FORYOU (with $75 purchase) 4/15 – 4/22. Just a PSA!
Ah ha! That would explain why their website shows the new address but Google Maps shows nothing there. That is perfect — I’m headed out in mid-May!
If you are doing touristy stuff, going to the Macy’s flagship store is fun, even if their selection is rather mundane. Wonder how the selection is at Bloomingdale’s?
There are some fun brick and mortar stores-like Fredrick Malle, Le Labo, Diptyque, Creed etc etc and others on the upper east side -you can walk around outside if its nice and then grab a cappuccino at my fav spot Via Quadronno and you are close to Central Park if you need to give your nose a break.
BERGDORF GOODMAN also has a nice selection of perfumes on their beauty level to sniff around. I find sniffing around there better than Bloomies or Macys because of the selection. But the SA will want to help you-so be warned!
Downtown were Scent bar etc is a fun place to explore. When you need to take break you can sit in the garden on Elizabeth Street https://www.elizabethstreetgarden.com and there are nice cafes and shopping around there too.
Don’t forget to wave at my lions at NYPL on 5th Ave if you go by 🙂
Great point about the individual boutiques. I think By Kilian has one, as well. In general, if you have a favorite brand, you should check if they have a NYC boutique.
Thanks! I’d already found the Comme des Garçons boutique, but didn’t realize there were so many on the Upper East Side. I’m thinking Bergdorf may be like Holt’s here (same with the SAs), but I still could stop in.
And I will say hi to the lions! I love the NYPL!
Happy Weekend all!
And Happy World Art Day!
I’ve been lucky enough to visit the Louvre,Tate,Manchester Museum of art and many others in my lifetime.My favorite still remains Manchester,with their impressive collection of Rosetti paintings.I never grasped the scale of some of them untill I stood infront of them!And yes,I was one of those idiots who tried to photograph them from a direct angle,with flash!(sorry!I know better now!)
SOTD!
Fragonard Etoile,one of the pretty,raspy fruity-florals from a discovery set.
Call weekend,I was at work last night till 9pm.Hold thumbs for the rest of my weekend please!
XO’s
Fingers crossed you don’t get more calls.
Knocking on wood that the rest of your weekend is quiet. No whammies, and no calls!
Holding thumbs and crossing fingers for you!
I’m in Jil Sander No. 4 this morning because Mr. G asked me to wear the perfume I wore daily during our courtship (before I fell down the rabbit hole, obviously). I had him sniff my wrist and asked if it smelled familiar, and he said it was pleasant but no, no bells ringing. I would have bet otherwise – he has a pretty good recall for scents – but then it has been over 10 years since I last wore it, so not really surprising, I guess.
I wore that when I was in university / had just moved back from Germany, too. I’ve gotten a decant of it lately and I agree, it smells a bit familiar, and is a nice perfume, but doesn’t immediately take me back to that time the way some other perfumes do.
A morning of errands, now resting and watching some YouTube. My house is decorated with many posters from art exhibitions, for eg Raphael the last years, a portrait of Shakespeare from the National Portrait Gallery, Hopper House by the railroad.
I’ve added an Emeraude set to my collection, I already had a bottle but this new one has a 15ml of the extrait, it still smells rich and fresh, I’m testing it now. I picked Mandorlo Di Sicilia this morning, bottle almost finished and it’s faded now and tonight I chose L’AP Passage d’Enfer which is smelling strong and marvellous, for some reason I remembered it was rather evanescent and wan, but it is not the case at all today and I am simply adoring it.
That’s wonderful you have the Emeraude extrait. I didn’t even know it existed.
Neither did I, it’s part of the set with the bigger bottle of cologne.
I thought that Passage d’Enfer was light bodied, but definitely not a featherweight fragrance. Definitely has staying power on me.
Yes, I definitely agree, light but long-lasting and projects.
It was unseasonably warm this week and today the temperature plummeted. 40 degrees and raining so I say yuck!
Anyway, since it is cool, I am bringing out one vanilla I can wear which is Sylvaine Delacourte’s Vahina. It is a floral vanilla with tonka bean, jasmine, orange blossom and neroli plus a few other notes. I think it smells best in the winter, but it really can be worn year round.
Sounds like you are now on the crazy weather rollercoaster.
For Universal Day of Culture I had a crumpet and a cafe au lait for breakfast and I’m wearing Shalimar Mexique. I bought a tiny air fryer last night, in hopes that in summer I won’t have to use the oven to bake things. I’m also looking at all the cool offerings in the Swap thread!
That sounds like a perfectly cultured morning!
I think I am going to be the last person on earth without an air fryer, ack.
It will be a race between you and me, Robin! 😉
Ha, we will see who wins! I am going to cave and buy an instant pot if my slow cooker ever dies, but can’t think of any reason to want an air fryer. (And still don’t really understand if they are any different than countertop convection ovens.)
Hi everyone!
I have the weekend off. I am being so lazy I can’t hardly stand myself!
My sotd is Elie Saab L’Eau Couture.
Oh, I did manage to color my hair. The box says Cherry Red. My hair says dark brown with orange where the greys once were. Lol.
Lazy is good for the soul. The pace we go these days is brutal. No shame!
Good effort! Fluff it up and say ,”Yes I did this on purpose!” When people ask!
You deserve a day of rest! Enjoy!
Everyone needs to take a bit of time off and decompress. It’s NOT being lazy, it’s self care. We aren’t machines.
Lazy is good for the soul and the temperament. Loll about like a well fed cat and enjoy every moment! The hair sounds very fun! I wish I could do orange but with my skins undertones it would make me look…very scary! Keep on rockin’ in the (mostly) free world! 🤘🏼🤛🏼🙌🤙🏼
Enjoy the – I’m sure we’ll deserved – rest Lillyjo, it sounds like a fun hair color.
Busy day of yardwork, housework and now heading off to errands. I’ve stopped by the swap meet and I hope to join in soon to share goodies! SotD Aura body cream with a generous spritzing of Aura eau sensuelle. Up to around 80F here today, but rain and cooler weather coming in soon.
It was warm here too. Helping my mom get downsized for her next move, we are getting rid of lots of stuff 🙂
I am on my way for the nose piercing!!
Wish me luck!
Indochine, my #1 love is SOTD.
Best of luck. Smelling good is half the battle!
Best of luck … and you smell marvelous!
Good luck!
Good luck!
Good luck! 🍀🍀🍀
Smelling fab! Follow up on the nose piercing please! I’ve been very tempted but have not wanted a portal of entry for any reason the past couple of years. But, the temptation is coming on strong again! Will you have a stud? A ring? Please elaborate when you have a moment. 🙂
The deed is done!
A tiny diamond stud on left nostril. That’s it. Only hurt for a second.
After six months and fully healed can wear a very small hoop thats all I wanted.
I love it!!
SOTD is Henry Rose Char.
So glad it went well!
Best wishes for the nose piercing, and you smell fabulous!
I hope your piercing went well!
Happy Saturday, all. I’m still wearing Lost Alice which I wore for yesterday’s CP even though I forgot to post (there are at least 12 cities/towns in the US named Alice and I’m counting at least half CP points since the perfume was not named for them).
Had a long walk yesterday morning and then I spent all afternoon with a friend at the Museum of Flight in Seattle which was fascinating. We had a Taiyaki cone afterwards that was practically a meal. The walk yesterday was so nice that I did it again this morning. And bought myself an almond croissant and a Sevilla latte. Yum. That’s a lot of treats in a row! ;D
I love the Museum of Flight! My father was an engineer at Boeing from the mid 50s to the end of his career (he called his job “breaking planes”) and I visited that museum with him several times.
The Museum of Flight sounds awesome.
Did you finish Sheltering Sky
I did. What a story. I kind of rushed through the end because I wanted to be finished.
Wearing Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom.
Nice sunny day in the upper 60’s. A good relief after hot temperatures for the past two days.
Very busy day at home, cleaning and organizing the cabinets in the kitchen. This is a task that I really dislike, but that is has to be done at least once in a while.
Happy weekend, everyone! 🌞
It will feel great to get that done!
I just noticed a Nestlé Quick bottle in the fridge door this morning; don’t want to check the expiry date on that. Looks like it got knocked on it’s side and was hidden from view for a long while. I think a deep cleaning is due for my entire kitchen!
Cleaning the fridge is another task that I really hate to do. I also have a bottle of syrup that knocked on its side and spilled in one of the drawers. The fridge has to wait until next weekend. I am determined to finish the cabinets tomorrow.
Heading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and happy to be supporting World Art Day (who knew?!).
SOTD is Marni
Enjoy! Love the Met
Wearing Prada Infusion d’Iris absolue today. It’s cool and cloudy with more rain scheduled for later. Watching baseball instead of being productive!
Ooh.. what teams?
I love the absolute. I should have bought it when I had the chance. You smell lovely.
Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay. The Jays are our team!
Enjoy!
Thank you!
Feeling like myself today! So I did a huge load of whites and watched the thunderstorms roll in earlier this afternoon. Not a fan of the hail that showed up.
SOTD = back in Dune.
Glad to know you are back to yourself! I think we are getting storms tomorrow. I hope there is no hail.
I hope you don’t get any hail either. The stuff I had was roughly pea-sized, so it didn’t really do much damage. Tore a bunch of leaves off the trees here, and made an Ungodly racket pounding against the windows. It freaked Teflon The Wonder Cat (TM) out a bit.
Oh Jalapeno…
Have you watched any of the Metallica sets from Jimmy Kimmels show last week?
I don’t like JK but I just had to watch them do Master of Puppets. It was awesome. 🤘
OMG, we just watched that last night! Agree, it was awesome! Those guys know how to rock.🤘My h is a huge fan and back in the day they came and played a show in our small college town. I see this tour it’s all big stadiums.
They were one of my favorite bands to bike to back in the day. Alice In Chains was another. And lots and lots of Rave. Really ripped around town like the devil himself was after me. 👹
ZOMG! I did not even know about that! Hopefully I can catch the reruns of those sets. Or maybe they are on YouTube? Still am a big Metallica fan, and have thought about getting the 30th anniversary re-release of their “Black Album” aka the self titled one.
Not a fan of JK either. I think Stephen Colbert is more my style…
Yay to feeling like yourself. What dramatic weather, thunderstorms, hail, what next.
What next indeed! This is proving to be quite the volatile April so far.
Happy weekend NST fam!
Stayed home and did a load of chores today. I just have a bit of oud oil on as I was burning various aromatics to test them for incense making. I learned that frankincense and myrrh don’t burn well on their on and need a wood base like mako to keep them ignited. I’ll have to work on powdering them before they get added to the mix.
I got some powdered Australian sandalwood and it smells SO good. Mild and creamy — the smell of the temples of my childhood.
Love a creamy sandalwood note! Some other wood notes are either spiky or stabby to me. Not good.
Amyris Homme today
Trying out some Sisley Paris skincare -a friend gave me some samples. I am trying their Ecological cream and one of their tinted moisturizers
Not sure how effective this line is but they smell good 🙂 Anyone like this line?
I finished listening to the podcast OaklandF posted on Friday. If you are a Mary Renault fan its a must listen to..or if you are just interested in Greek Mythology
I’m gonna have a listen to the podcast!
Lots of South Africa 🇿🇦
I gathered!Always love a local connection.🌹
Let me know what you think
Amyris Homme is in the MFK tester set I got and haven’t tried it yet. I like Amyris Femme so far though. I’m slowly going through the fragrances to try out. I’m wearing Aqua Universalis on one wrist and Grand Soir on the other today. They are on opposite sides of the fragrance spectrum and I know Petit Matin would probably have been a better choice with Grand Soir, but tend no to follow any fragrance rules.
I like Amyris Homme better than Amyris Femme
But everyones nose is different. Report back on what you think
Only weekend off before another 3 weeks of work, ugh! I did pretty well with my to do list yesterday but today I have to wrap up the taxes and then do some prep work for my job.
Commando today since I will be going out to exercise but yesterday I popped into Sephora and this particular branch had a good selection of off-the-beaten-path scents. I tried By Killian Good Girl Gone Bad and Heretic Dirty Hinocki. Actually liked both. Totally overpowered the Mojave Ghost sample I had put on in the morning.
Nothing really cultural today from me. Maybe some cooking tonight – black bean burritos with homemade sauce and vegan ceviche.
Wow, that is not enough time off Zephyr2! Hope you got those taxes done and left some time to relax.
Samsara edp for a quiet Sunday.I ran some errands and got the car washed after weeks of unseasonal rain and winds left it a mess!
Happy Sunday!🌞✌🏻
Will you come wash my car? Lol
Haha.
I did not wash my own,soooo….NO.
Still love you!🌞🤣😘😘🌹
“No. Still love you!”
Story of my life J B!
🤣😘
Haha!🌞🌞🤗🌹
I don’t have a car – but have childhood memories of going to the car wash 🧼
Haha!I used to love the old carwash machinces with the huge rollers and big rubber scrubber-fingers.It was a trip!🙌🏻🙌🏻🤗
YAY for a quiet Sunday!
Double-Yay!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
Continual rain, no surprise there. 😒
I’m trying to figure a way to turn the entry closet into something more functional. Has anyone used the Jonaxel system from IKEA? The drawers specifically. Would love some feedback if you’re familiar with it.
As for scent, I’m wearing one of my favorite comfort scents- Shalimar MVP. Love this one so much and wish I had a gallon of it instead of single bottle. Hope everyone else’s weather is much better than mine. 👍🏼
I always keep my eyes peeled for MVP for you.
It’s raining here too.
Wearing Angel Eau Croisière 2020, it’s interesting that Fragrantica doesn’t mention that there’s a fig note in this since that’s what I get when the Angel top notes settle down.
Our summer spell is over, it’s raining and cooler. Fine with me, Spring is too short anyway and jumping straight into the 80s F felt too soon.
Thanks Robin for hosting the swapmeet! My contribution is small this time but it’s always fun 🙂
I’m in Tears of Iris today. I didn’t know a cool front had blown in last night, so it’s gorgeous outside now. Could’ve worn something heavier, but I’m headed out to eat mud bugs a little later, so this is probably best.
NST hive mind question: has anyone tried the latest Nez fragrance, Adorem? Does it have a lot of smoke? What are your thoughts?
Will probably post something later today on the swapmeet thread. But first….chow. 🦐
I’m so sorry, ringthing!
NP! Enjoy those crawfish!
I also definitely get a fig note in the 2020 version of Eau Croisiere. There are 2 versions; one has mango as the fruity note, and the other one has fig.
Still smelling last night’s sprays of ELDO Charogne, a crazy lily leather concoction. It has that strange, stinky ELDO thing going for it that simultaneously repels and compels.
P.S. I meant to add my thanks to Robin for hosting the swapmeet. It’s such great way to explore new fragrance and connect with amazing NSTers.
So glad 🙂
I’ve either really liked or absolutely hated perfumes from ELdO. No in-between for me. Fat Electrician is my only FB.
FE is the only one I like, too.
Quick PSA! Imaginary Authors is having a sale good till 11:59 PST tonight, 10% off with code VIPGIF.
Sorry for the late notice. The email said this sale is ahead of a “small” price increase, their first ever.
Thanks for the heads up ringthing!
Hello, everyone!! I have been the blog reading silently… Have been through some rough times right now. My job is a landscaper and a person who is the lead landscaper and has everything under control is leaving the job and is actually a family friend of mine. He is going back to Poland (where I was born too) so it is very stressful times at work right now plus some other things…
Have been furiously (LOL) looking for my HG tea perfume. I mean I’ve found one already called Imperial Tea by Kilian but well it is discontinued. Some other favorites include Creed Asian Green Tea, Memo Winter Palace (of course) and recently I have ordered a sample of Floraiku Levitating based on the reviews and the description on the website. I am totally smitten with that one. Similar to Winter Palace (which does not bother me I love both) and it also features the most juiciest, candied like meaning super sweet and yummi mandarin note along with the Ceylon black tea. Love it. So what did I do? Ordered another sample. It will be a while before I can come up with $350. I also have a set of Miller Harris Tea tonique arriving today. Very curious of it. Oh and a perfumedcourt sample of midnight black by Jo Malone is coming my way today as well. I am also very curious about Kierin’s Sunday Brunch, Shoshana Sunday and Vilhelm’s Dear Polly.
I do have some items I could happily swap away – am I still able to do that? Thanks
So sorry you are having a rough time! Hope everything will even out for you soon.
Keep an eye on the Kilian…he does cycle things in and out of production, so it might come back.
Of course you can still put an entry in the swap meet! It’s open til a week from tomorrow.
Oh my Goodness, really? Kilian has done something like that? Came back with something that had been discontinued? Wowza I gotta keep a very close watch at Him then… Thank You!!
Yes, they brought back Rose Oud, Sacred Wood so far (not sure if they were brought back as limited edition). Not saying Imperial Tea will come back, just saying it is possible.
