I just cooked Mr. Riannon a gigantic English Birthday Breakfast and I am smelling most delicious of sausages and smoked bacon (wondering if this will count as a 'scent for Gourmand month')

DH is grinning like a Cheshire Cat, surrounded by his presents and with a pleasantly filled belly.

So, I will indulge him even more by wearing one of his favorite scents: Creed's Royal Delight: spicy tangerine, sandalwood, jasmine, bergamot, violet and leather. It is delicious!!

But first: a shower to get rid of the smoked bacon!!

Elixir des Merveilles. I also need an Elixir des Merveilles for my face. Forced hot air heating and my skin do NOT agree. Feel like a sausage squeezed into a too-tight casing. Ouch.

Party-time for all Dutch kids today: it's Sinterklaas, the day that an old man, dressed in a long red dress and with a white beard, brings gifts for the children. Yes, he looks a bit like your Santa Claus!

We will celebrate this later in the afternoon, and I'm prepared for it and wear a beautiful fragrance, Daim Blond.

Wearing my sample of Angel with a celestial blue blouse. I rather dislike the topnotes, but the heart and drydown have captivated me thanks to the exploration of gourmand day...

Well today is my Samsara day; warm, cozy and sweet. Yes first snow has fallen, and as per our agreement both my sister and I are wearing it today.

Ohhh and the weather update for here: -9°C and finally clear; but feels like
-16°C (I'm not making this up either!).

Top notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Green Note, Tarragon
Middle note: Jasmine, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Carnation
Base notes: Sandal, Vanilla, Benzoin, Tonka

I wanted to wear Mûre et Musc Extreme today, but my sample is running scaringly low. So I have it on my wrists... Earlier I wasn't sure wether I wanted a bottle of MeM or not, but I do love the Extreme version so a bottle of that is needed now.

Thierry Mugler Cologne for me.

Ya gotta love it.

Finally, the temp has dropped to a December-like norm of 35F so I doled out onto trembling arms and neck the sample of Cuir Mauresque sent by dear Riannon (Happy Sinterklaus Day you Hollandaises!!).:wave:

GORGEOUS old-leather amber spicy friend for the day! Deep and moody and like sinking into GrandDaddy's old library wing chair with mulled cinnamon and orange peel-infused cider!! Aaaaah.

Testing a sample of Iris Poudre (FM) today. The funny thing is it smelled almost exactly the way I had expected it to!

Happy Sinterklaas to Riannon, lievje and all other Dutchies!

Reeking of YSL Paris today. And quite pleased about it. I can practically taste it, I oversprayed so much, but I am sitting in my own little corner of the office so I don't think I'm offending of asfixiating anyone. I like to think that I'm kind of like room freshener. I'm not getting the urine smell this time, just lots of roses. LOTS.

Pomegranate Noir on my sleeves, a bit of Mira Bai on my hands to sweeten the PM. Unfortunately, these frags do not sing in the say key.

Burberry Brit edt. I owned the edp years ago but wound up swapping it. I tried the edt yesterday on a whim and wound up buying a bottle. I love this!

Cristobal bodylotion for the day. Yummy!

Prada EdP for the evening. This is the coolest frag in my collection, but also the most difficult to apply. It is easy to put on too much of it. I did that the last time I wore it, and it became horrible. But this eve I have been very easy on my hand while applicating, so now it is really wonderful!

I'm wearing the fragrance I just purchased last night... Goutal's Les Nuits d' Hadrien... I'm *thrilled* with it! It's just the thing for this sunny winter day... crisp and fresh, but still grounded, and just flirting with the warmth of another season entirely. Lovely, lovely, charming, and lovely some more...

Commes des Garcons Series 3 Incense Kyoto for me today!

It's our first proper COLD day in NYC. 36 degrees F...a touch of wind to swirl around all those yummy cold weather scents: the coal from the street vendor's kiosk, burning leaves (somewhere!), coffee...

Happy Sinterklaas to lievje (and everyone else). LesNez L'Antimatière today -- lovely and subtle (especially subtle in this cold snowy weather). It smells so much like crisp sheets and a wool blanket that I can't smell it in bed, except for the faintest hint of mint.

Re-applied in the middle of the day, but it is still entirely gone, so it's time for a second course, something lush ... maybe Tabac Blond? or Fumerie Turque?

Brit GOLD edp for me today. It was the first time I tried it. At first I thought it smelled masculine. Now that it's drying down, I smell the sandalwood and maybe lemon.

Question to Tovah - what difference did you notice in Brit edp vs' edt.

I do think Brit Red is my favorite in the bunch!

My early morning scent today was RL Polo Sport Woman - grapefruity, clean & fresh, somewhat soapy. I love the spritzy ones to start the day.

This evening, it's Narcisso Rodriguez for Her edt. It started out powerful, and I thought it might be a scrubber, but it's beginning to settle down and behave itself now. Did I say I didn't like this one? I've changed my mind (again).

Have a lovely evening! You all smell like gods and goddesses! :-)
