Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all. W.SOMERSET MAUGHAM

I'm sneaking off work to go to Legoland with some friends today, so although it's rather grey and miserable, I feel It would be very remiss of me not to wear Coney Island.![]()
Feeling very mutinous so....staying at home, reading books and listening to music.
Liberal spray of Ambre et Diamant Noir
I think my time for hibernating has come already![]()

Sounds like a relaxing start for the basenoters above...
The temperature here is still on the late 20s... it is a little misty and humid.
I am dressed in Ysatis - Iris, it is an absolute sillage bomb. My colleague said I am still smelling STRONG after 6 hours.![]()
Cool, sharp day; perfect for Molinard de Molinard, bodylotion and the Edt.
Going to have lunch with a friend in the city.
Enjoy your day...
Curled up in the shelter of Musc Ravageur, while it pisses down outside, and I try to fend off an impending cold with the aid of grapefruit, coffee, and Panodil![]()

Comforting (if distant) smoochas and wuggles to Sudsy and Riannon....

call me crazy, but I like it.
"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

What I am loving right now: Shalimar vintage extrait, Chanel Bois des Iles, Chanel no. 22, Le Labo Iris 39, Guerlain Iris Ganache

It’s thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. They’re confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, “Something is just around the corner,” what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers “Something is just around the corner,” something always is. -- Charlie Elberson

Yes, preparing for a downpour here too; it even smells like rain and it cooled off quite a bit. I started the day off in the arms of Loukhoum by Keiko Mecheri and Black Fig & Absinthe by Slatkin.
Soon thereafter, (after a shower) I changed into my SotD – Daim Blond a near perfection in every sense of the word!

Sorry to see on the news how many are suffering from floods and hurricanes, but I'm loving our gray, soggy weather.
Rekindling my acquaintance with Black Cashmere. It's not precisely right for today, but since straying from Nanadebary Green, I've lost my bearings.

D&G Sicily - yummy caress soap followed by banana/musky goodness(at least that's what it smells like on me). Or rather *smelled* like. I put it on at about 8am, and it's already pretty much gone - and I asked others just in case I just couldn't smell it. Nobody else can smell it either. :-(
Edited to add: wow! Somebody really likes Caron Le 3me Homme! :-)

Didn´t know what to wear, borrowed some of daughter´s JPG Classique EdT.
Haven´t worn this in a long time, had almost forgotten how good it is...![]()
Back to work today in AL Moss.
I had a rough weekend with my kids and their young professional woes. They want to have it all quickly and cheaply and the noise is wearing me down a bit. When I was 23, I knew I had to live like a 23 year old and sacrifice one pleasure for another. In my case, I chose to scrimp on nice apartment and spend on clothes, fun, additional part time studies. They want the snappy apartment in the big city too...I wonder if I whined a lot and am just forgetting?
Anyway, I need something I love today, and Moss is a fabulous chypre that manages to avoid sharpness.
Started day with Hiris, now wearing *drumroll* Narciso Rodriguez for her....again!![]()

Lady Caron which sadly is just absolutely not for meTrying to sweeten the sharp florals with a spray of JALA
Have felt a bit under the weather today,but still went for work. Then I wore Narciso Rodriguez edt and after work I found some comfort in L de Lolita Lempicka.
Who, as it turns out - is our very own ComDiva!!
And Catherine I gotta thank you for the intro! It opened as a crisp, hesperidic breeze and quickly simmers down in the most luscious plum and leather - like I said -"soignee".
Inhabiting a duplex on upper Park Avenue - at dusk I am dressed in deep mauve charmeuse with nothing underneath. From my collection, earrings necklace bracelet and (just created from a brooch) belly ring are amethyst and canary diamonds. Before it was my "parure" it was my Mother's and her Mother's before....I am wearing Parure to celebrate this priceless ensemble...
Moving quietly among the rooms, sipping Pellegrino. I can wait for Him...we're headed for dinner at friends (they've a new chef) briefly in town. Then back here for.....
