It's getting warmer every day here in Michigan, and spring has pretty much sprung. It's been in the 40's and 50's just about every day for a while now (aside from that freak snowstorm the other night!). Otherwise, mostly sunny, partly cloudy, occasional drizzle.
However, I'm still trying to make a gradual transition into wearing my lemons and bright greens.
Greens:
Green Irish Tweed is the scent of the moment, as it is so reminiscent of a garden, just being planted. It's got that earthy quality that reminds me of spring so much. And I can do Green Valley once in a while, especially if I'm going to go to the gym. But not on a cloudy day. I'd still like it to warm up a bit for this one. Original Vetiver needs another few months. It begs to be worn in the middle of a hot summer. Grass clippings... mmm....
Citrus:
Blenheim works year round. But I still want it to be warmer. Screw it, nevermind. GFT will be ripe in a few weeks. The cypress invites it to be worn in early spring. Terre d' Hermes is working quite well right now. So is Douro. Hugh Parson's Picadilly (yellow) is great on a hot summer day too. But for all these citruses... I think it would be a bit premature just yet.
Floral:
I'm still waiting on Castile. Not just yet... Let some flowers bloom first.
Marine:
Fougeres Marine can work just fine year round, but it will be particularly spectacular in the 60-70 degree range.
Which ones do you want to reach for... but have to say, "Not JUST yet..." ? (and what is the weather like where you are?)
