Dark here, too...but that's because it's almost midnight!
Going to take a warm soaky bath in Monili candied violets bath gel and then spritz on some Bourbon French Mon Idee.
I had to drag myself out of bed this morning... wearing the sumptuous Mahora by Guerlain, but it is not loud enough to wake me.
Here I am
off to bed
wearing
Sonia Rykiel
How and why do I forget
just how much I love

Everyone in the dark, eh?
Daylight over here but...I am wearing a fragrance that is darkness incarnated.
Testing again the beautiful 'vault' fragrance of Neil Morris
Gotham
Dark and leathery. A strong-willed beauty and a perfect scent to match today's mood.

Everyone's love it or hate it scent: Poison. Now where's my jacket with the shoulder pads and brick-sized mobile phone?
It's raining and the sky is dark. I'm in the wonderful 1000.

YSL Rive Gauche pour Homme
Melbourne Cup public holiday here so I went shopping - tried Kelly Caleche and Coco Chanel initially but eventually my wrists and forearms got so full of scent I can't distinguish anything anymore except maybe the Platinum Egoiste on the back of my hand. Oh no which one did I like?![]()
Gorgeous, sunny Autumn day here, after a cold Bonfire Night yesterday.
Not dressed yet (day off!) but think I'll put some Sienne l'Hiver on after
my shower. Love these crisp Autumn mornings, when the squirrels
are leaping throught the trees and the birds are singing.
House twin with BrothaG today in YSL NU EdP, which enhances a meditative mood.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Sniffing around
I'll stop wearing black when they make something darker
Grump grump grump: very stressy and whiny today due to house sale on brink of disaster.
Madame Rochas doesn't go with what I'm wearing (grungiest work clothes to pack & shift boxes) but she's making me feel a bit calmer.
Hope you all have good days. x

Getting going in Ivoire de Balmain for this cool, slightly cloudy Tuesday.
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
I'm wearing Ralph Hot today.
I've trademarked the color bleu
I love to start the day tuning in to my scent friends - seein' how they are and what kind of mood (and matching frag) they're in! From Grumpy in Switzerland to Sparkly in the UK to Meditative in Italy.....
Promising to be warm and sunny here today too - so I'll go abroad in Neil Morris' Coral. Starts out real pink - almost bubblegum - must be the sweet pea. Then there's some fig and a rosy bit with sea air and sandalwood hovering underneath. I remember Coral as being one of the three or four NM's I knew I HAD TO HAVE....poverty intervened.
But the market's perky....and the credit cards are venturing out from hiding....![]()

Today just feels like a Chanel no 5 day
"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." Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins p. 189
What I am loving right now: Shalimar vintage extrait, Chanel Bois des Iles, Chanel no. 22, Le Labo Iris 39, Guerlain Iris Ganache

Seems like Riannon, Taolady and I are testing Neil Morris fragrances this week -- different scents, I know, but we want to be prepared for our NMF Day this coming Saturday.Gandhara for me this morning.
Good smellin' folks !
I'm wearing Grand Amour edp-
WHY didn't I try this earlier ?
It is amazingly complex- spans floral to hypnotically indolent, to ambery, and back again.
A lot of movement here, very seductive.
[Kewart-
You had me at 'squirrels'...
I love how cold their liitle paws and noses are on my hands !]
Following rtamara's and pellen's lead with the Chanel house. But it's Bois des Iles for me on this sunny, crisp autumn day.
