A tiny drop of KL for confidence, I think (although Curious would be fun in these circumstances). Also have a weak spot for Diorissimo. Depends what kind of job you want. Diorissimo smells so innocent and I don't know if that is the signal you want to give

Good luck, dear!!

You're right, Riannon, it is quite late. Could you see me lying in my bed, not willing to wake up?

Well, I'm here now, wearing Dzing! Yummie

13 degrees this morning, sunny.
I wore Montale's Sweet Oriental today. Special Thanks to a special basenoter for the decant. It is lovely, it reminds me of Loukhoum Eau de Parfum by Keiko Mecheri. Definately bottle worthy. It is sweet and gourmandy. My best friend stole a spritz from my decant and she adores it too.

ninamichaela, I see LOVELY in you drobe. I think this is quite nice to wear for an interview. It is subtle and non-intrusive and probably well suited for your weather.
Good Luck!

(Is there a frag called 99 Red Balloons?)

Is the interview with a man or a woman? I'd 'a' gone with Allure Homme and then if I got there and it turned out to be a woman I'd 'a' quick spritzed Rochas Man!!!

Found a great combo yesterday (attention Queen of Layering - hear those heavy footsteps coming up behind you?!) Lonestar Memories - and just as it was fading - Figue Amere!!! :bounce:

But today - for taking the cat to be boarded, last minute shopping and PACKING for the ten day trip North - I am Hypnotized by Poison. Where'd all this vanilla come from!

To ninamichaela: wear what you think is your Sunday's best in miniscule quantities, just enough to make you feel confident and others not knowing about it. Pretend it is your game, like fancy undergarments -- they are there, but you are the only one at the interview aware of it.

Hello all,

Another lovely day in Lolita Lempicka for me... Third day in a row , and that's saying something (for me at least)!

Top notes: Pineapple, Lemon, Anise, Rosewood
Middle notes: Lily of the valley, Rose, Jasmine, Licorice
Base notes: Almond, Tonka, Vanilla, Heliotrope

DH is wearing Montblanc Individuel


Oh and my suggestion for the interview to ninamichaela is to go with Omnia... I've always had super positive experiences and responses to her .

Best of luck!

today i'm wearing Black Cashmere. It was a blind buy, but it's working out wonderfully! I love it. And I'm wearing a black turtleneck to go with it. Now I'm going to read the Science Times, write a paper and feel smart. Great day to all!

Please Twolf, can you elaborate on the Djedi? I have bought a bottle from the same year and I am just too frightened to open it (yet). Living in fear that is has turned
And BTW, you are a great 'Wolf' for letting me know how to correct the error in this day's thread

Caron L'Anarchiste today. I needed something protective, something that says "look but don't touch." I needed to feel unapproachable, protected, and self-possessed today and so far it's working.

top: orange blossom, mandarin
heart: cedar leaves, cedar wood, sandal, vetiver
base: musk

I´m wearing Cabaret by Grès today (blind buy, slightly disappointed with it, smells like a soap I don´t remember the name of), but will change to Chantilly by Dana (used to be Houbigant!!) for the evening.

Prada bodylotion for the day.

Eve: My new buy: Agent Provocateur Eau Emotionelle. This is the Agent Provocateur for me, I find the original being too much, so I am happy for this one. Pitty it is a limited edition... It´s a chypre-floral.

Chinatown today for some sightseeiing with the 'rents. Mum in Muscs Koublai Khan (she adores it, and she's 70, so forget the age thing), Dad in Fumerie Turque, BF in staunch refusal to wear any fragrance in public even for the sake of fitting in.

Have a fab day!
