Merry Christmas Eve (to those of you who celebrate it)!

I'm wearing Sunflowers. Such a cheerful fragrance. Puts me in a good mood for all the ridiculous wrapping I have yet to do...

Good night to some and good morning to some others!

Magnolia, I've been quite taken with Lolita Lempicka lately...but somehow, it reminds me of something I own already - could not make up my mind what it is though And I want to sample the midnight version!

An early start. Phonecall from a panicking client if we could replace a machine.
Well, the angels were on our side, thank goodness.

Such an alien experience to step into your empty office, see the Christmas tree without light. So...well...lonely, is the right word for it, I think.
I opened the windows, switched on the lights of the Christmas tree and sang the alt part of Transeamus. The scent of Messe de Minuit around me like the protecting wings of an angel.

Happy and peaceful Christmas Eve to all celebrating.

I'm wearing Shalimar which I have only recently discovered will work for me. I used to dislike it. Now I love it.

I plan to wear either Shalimar or Chergui tomorrow, but depending on my mood I could change my mind about both.

Merry X-mas, all!

To my great surprice my SotD is Chanel Cristalle EdP. I sniffed it yesterday eve, the first sniff for nine months, and I must wear it today!!!! The EdT is great for summer, and the EdP is wonderful on a cold day!

The body lotion is wonderful, too!

It is almost a christmas-present to find a lovely frag one almost had forgott!

Yes, that's how I feel about Shalimar. We didn't get on for years but suddenly we're in love at Christmas. It's quite a revelation.

I wish you well in your Christelle.

I'm joining DeeOlive in wearing Caron Nuit de Noel today.

It's back to work for me today, after a two week+ vacation I'm sort of bummed, but at least I don't have to work tomorrow ...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Lievje - what a great Christmas present!!! A fever-less son!

One of you divine BNers sent me a sample of Montale Sweet Oriental Dream - in which I spent the night - and I am now BESOTTED. What a gorgeous frag. Honey and cherries and almonds and roses and tobacco and I MUST GET MY HANDS ON SOME. And I've used up all the sample. (Will I ever grow up???) Why don't I own more Montales? Every one I've ever tried has been a winner for me.

So what for the day? Now everything seems like an anti-climax. Maybe KM Loukhoum??.

My first SotD for several days. Having been ill and at home I've ot much felt like wearing anything (I'm also concerned that, as my immune system has bottomed out, I might get a reaction as well).
Anyway, felt like some Mitsouko today. Old faithful.
I am starting to feel better, though, although it's slow going. But as I'm having a quiet Christmas with just me and my man, it'll be fine.

Mmm, I guess it is GMT+11. I keep forgetting about that. (I'm in Melbourne, by the way, we do the Daylight Savings Time thing, I just forget to add it on when I think of GMT.)

Like Inees, working the late shift today and off tomorrow. For the morning, I am dancing with the stars in Aftelier Tango. Will probably change for the pm, though.

Margareta, so nice to see you again. I also find Cristalle very suitable for the cold, crispy and crystal clear days, nice choice!

Yes! May it stay gone. I hope he will continue to improve.

Montale Patchouli Leaves.
This is so soft and gorgeous for patchouli that I can see even a patchouli hater would have trouble being offended.
It is so mellow that it still smells good if I change my fragrance later and put something else over it, acting as an "Oriental base" and giving earthy sweetness to the next fragrance. Amazing stuff.

I'm enjoying SWEET ORIENTAL DREAM again today and am with TAO on this one. Can't seem to get enough of it. Delicious!
