Well I beat you all to it this morning!
Eldest son has just driven himself to work for the first
time in his new car (scary!)
I am going to apply some Apres L'Ondee when I go
back upstairs, having just watched him drive away.
Belated CONGRATULATIONS to TaoLady the "Grandmother!"

Diorissimo (vintage parfum) by Christian Dior



I was walking home from the gym and in the hot summer morning air, all of the flowers in people's front yards smelled carnal, sweaty and very ripe - I love that smell. So, when I got home I had a craving for Diorissimo. Roudnitska remixes lily-of-the-valley. Fo shiz.

Paco Rabanne Metal from a sample. This is a beautiful fragrance. Green and floral, and I definitely get an impression of metal, something silvery - but not sharp. It's also a little bit powdery/earthy (iris?), which makes it soothing, but its brightness keeps it air borne. I never could wear Calandre, although I've enjoyed it on others, but this one I could live in. Green lovers should check this one out.

Kumquat's garden
Penhaligon's-Lily & Spice
The season wanes and I'm feeling melancholy.
Spicy, perky juice lifts my spirits and propels me into a mellow summer day.
The blazing heat of last week has lifted and the cats can play in the sun again.
This golden floriental is perfect for garden appreciation.
Soon, the bees will chase me!

Top-White Madonna Lily and Saffron
Heart-Hot Pepper and Clove
Base-White Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla and Benzoin

It's an easy wearer.

Interesting ad for this gorgeous scent. Was also Rosemary's scent in Rosemary's Baby when she tried to ditch the demon crowd.

Wearing Madame Carven today. A lovely mossy floral with just a hint of coconut. Lovely

CK Secret Obsession.

Made a dental appt for Wednesday -- all dentists in the radius of 20 miles are booked out before the school year starts on the 19th. I told three receptionists that it is an emergency and Wed was the earlist cancellation that I took.

You guys stay well!

Oh, honey, that's like waiting an eternity. Hope this isn't too painful right now, and hope the bill isn't too painful later.

Interesting bit of trivia, Zibeline.

Twolf, I hope that Wednesday comes fast for you. Ouch! :-(

Kumquat, your post is divine!

Warum, I felt a strange (for me) craving for honey today, too. I'm in the glorious Amoureuse!

I have finally rid myself of my SotD, Parfum Sacre. Mine isn't the vintage version, unfortunately, and it does tend to screech. I forget between wears that IT wears me, I don't wear IT. Every now and then I think it would be a good choice. only to regret it quickly.

I was going to give my nose a rest and wear no perfume tonight, but have decided on a slight whiff of Love's True Bluish Light. There I go again not learning my lesson. The last time I wore this late at night I couldn't sleep a wink, the damned thig kept me awake. I know that's the opposite effect it has on most of its fans who find it very comforting, but I'm curious and want to try again.

Today I'm in (all day) Mitsuoko ... a little new, layered with a little vintage. (am terribly tired of the hot weather and hoping for rain tonight, Mitsu makes me think of rain.)

My wonderful scent of the evening is Acqua di Parma's Magnolia Nobile, a perfect magnolia grandiflora!




Twolf - good luck with those teeth, lady! I'll be thinking about you while you wait, and sending soothing thoughts your way.

And TaoLady - how very exciting! Congratulations & Best Wishes for your new grandbaby girl!

I wore Bvlgari Omnia Green Jade for work and enjoyed smelling Bvlgari Au The Vert on someone sitting near me all through a meeting tonight. Now I'm home and felt drawn to wear a sample of Ed Hardy Hearts and Daggers.
