Sounds like a relaxing start for the basenoters above...
The temperature here is still on the late 20s... it is a little misty and humid.
I am dressed in Ysatis - Iris, it is an absolute sillage bomb. My colleague said I am still smelling STRONG after 6 hours.

I am off to work again ...breaking my no two days in a row rule for work though! I am going to wear Sonia Rykeil for Women again because my sweet little patient I took care of yesterday loved it so much

Habit Rouge on my shoulders and hips

Voleur de Roses on my wrists and sternum

call me crazy, but I like it.

"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations." Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins p. 189

Sharing the house (and a mutually loved scent, I believe) with Tigs today:

It’s thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. They’re confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, “Something is just around the corner,” what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers “Something is just around the corner,” something always is. -- Charlie Elberson

D&G Sicily - yummy caress soap followed by banana/musky goodness(at least that's what it smells like on me). Or rather *smelled* like. I put it on at about 8am, and it's already pretty much gone - and I asked others just in case I just couldn't smell it. Nobody else can smell it either. :-(

Edited to add: wow! Somebody really likes Caron Le 3me Homme! :-)

Re: SotD - MONDAY August 20th

Back to work today in AL Moss.

I had a rough weekend with my kids and their young professional woes. They want to have it all quickly and cheaply and the noise is wearing me down a bit. When I was 23, I knew I had to live like a 23 year old and sacrifice one pleasure for another. In my case, I chose to scrimp on nice apartment and spend on clothes, fun, additional part time studies. They want the snappy apartment in the big city too...I wonder if I whined a lot and am just forgetting?

Anyway, I need something I love today, and Moss is a fabulous chypre that manages to avoid sharpness.

And Catherine I gotta thank you for the intro! It opened as a crisp, hesperidic breeze and quickly simmers down in the most luscious plum and leather - like I said -"soignee".
Inhabiting a duplex on upper Park Avenue - at dusk I am dressed in deep mauve charmeuse with nothing underneath. From my collection, earrings necklace bracelet and (just created from a brooch) belly ring are amethyst and canary diamonds. Before it was my "parure" it was my Mother's and her Mother's before....I am wearing Parure to celebrate this priceless ensemble...

Moving quietly among the rooms, sipping Pellegrino. I can wait for Him...we're headed for dinner at friends (they've a new chef) briefly in town. Then back here for.....
