Re: SotD Sunday 4 March

A very lazy sunday for me... I pulled out all my decants and samples and decide to test a few.
Midnight: Himalaya and then switched to Michael Kors, Michael for Man
AM: Burberry, Brit Red
Late AM: Mona di Orio, LUX (thanks musse)
Lunch: (nothing)
Afternoon: CK One Scene

I think my nose has done enough testing for today... but my brain was telling me to continue with it...

Re: SotD Sunday 4 March

i didn't wear any scent today - my SotD/SnS from yesterday (Aromatics Elixir) ended up giving me a migrane! And, what's worse, it wouldn't wash off!!! I can still smell the drydown on my wrists, and I applied it over 24 hours ago - and have tried to wash it off over a dozen times!!!
Anyway, I shouldn't be on the computer with this migrane...couldn't resist coming in and reading what everyone else tried for Chypre day though :P

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

My sale thread has some of my underappreciated fragrances looking for a good, new home...

(shades, happy birthday to your late step mom. Oscar is a beautiful fragrance. I can no longer wear it well, but I love it and notice it on others.)

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."

Re: SotD Sunday 4 March

Based soley on it's name, had invested nine whole dollars (or was it ten?) in a bottle of Azarro Pure Cedrat at Marshall's, not knowing what was in it (although the ingredients are plainly listed on the box) hoping it would qualify for SnS yesterday. According to Osmoz technically (!!) it does not (:wave: LIB!!!) (Clary sage, neroli, litsea cubeba, mandarin at the top. In the middle, jasmine d'eau and calone; at the bottom dardamom, ginger, lichen and patchouli.

But I tell you, it started out like sucking a tangerine on a quick visit to the piney woods, coming upon a neglected but fully blooming flower bed and settling into a downy duvet impregnated with the flowers and an ambery (!) sachet. :bounce:

I am going right back upstairs and spraying this beauty all over! "Guys frag" indeed!!!

Re: SotD Sunday 4 March

Thank you for the birthday wishes - Counting blessings today - I had a wonderful family filled day, to the park this morning with my boys and my hunny for a walk around the lake and some ball throwing...and a solitary shopping trip which was therapeutic. Finally sniffed Paloma Picasso... I like it but find it reminds me instantly of a cross between Coco and Opium - so its not on my must have list quite yet. Totally loved my Chanel no 19 day.
Discovered that one of my armpits smells just like Kingdom - will save some money there, too! hee hee hee!
Like I said, counting my blessings!
