Good Morning
Jean - François Laporte's
Parfum d' Habit ( vintage )
Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes

Good morning everyoneSotd is Poison.Need a powerscent to get me going today! Only 4 days before the oral exam now!!! NERVOUS!!!!
Route du Vetiver this morning
we have seen the enemy...and he is us.-Pogo
On the same vibe with Joe P. -- the holly date every fragrance wearer should know and observe as a public holiday -- August 19. Only I am in Jean Patou L'Heure Attendue, remember Mlle Coco and Jean Patou share a birthday. I tried to tell His Royal Duckness to synchronize in Chanel tomorrow -- he said No, it is Caron, the group voted. I will be in Chanel, my apologies.
The tooth is doing fine -- I guess, it is not with me any longer. A few years ago I had a brilliant idea -- if they get to keep our teeth, we should be paid. Did not work though.
Z., I suggest Dana Chantilly as your SotD for "the day".
E., how in the world did I miss Evangeline Day?
H., I love you too.
I don't own any Caron so I might join you in Chanel tomorrow. It's a while since I've worn any.
Today I'm testing the new Smell of Weather Turning from our gorilla boys. It's a bit odd, but pleasant. Much softer than the usual scent style from Mark and Si. I get a bit of a metallic edge, a lot of coumarin (must be the hay absolute) and there is that minty quality to it too. Not my favourite from the line, but very wearable. I preferred it when the whole room was scented with it at the gallery. My skin makes it a little too sweet.
Joining Joe in celebration of the fabulous Coco, wearing the scent that bears her name!
Chanel's Coco
Oh, heck, not as planned, but I can't pass up honoring Chanel's birthday (why have I not seen the movie yet?)
Chanel Bois des Iles today, as I have no Coco.

Flying out the door shortly wearing La Rose du Petit Prince, which I've decanted for the granddaughter of my dearest girlfriend.
Unexpected invite will put me in company with old friends and get me a private tour of the Great Lakes Water Institute and School of Freshwater Sciences plus a second treat of visiting an urban aquaponics/fish farm, Sweet Water Organics, which was created inside an old industrial building.
This is freaking exciting for old Q.

Hubby's car in shop for 2 days, so I had to fly out the door this morning. Grabbed Heeley Cuir Pleine Fleur for the ride. What a week! Sheesh.
Big Hugs and Howdies to all

Q - have a great tour. Sounds like you'll be as happy as a fish in water!

Histoires de Parfums 1826, a wonderful swirl of spice, incense and patchouli surrounding a small white floral heart. I love how the patchouli is done here: dusty-dry, with a bitter-chocolate undertone.
Have a great day, all!

Hello everyone -
I'm in another glorious Rosine...sigh. Poussière de Rose will have to join the others on my Wish-List.
Wolfie - don't you worry about missing anything. You had your tooth to fret about and I'm so glad you have relief! You made up for it anyway (and you made me lol with your dentist anecdote!) so thank you!
Quarry - what fun...good for you!Have a great time!
Y'all have a wonderful day!

Aquae de Nobilis by Profumum (from a sample)
Sort of a fresh, watery, minty vetiver - very weird...it's taken me several wearings to even figure it out.
I'm wearing the latest Patricia de Nicolai, called "Eau Mixte". Not in the datbase yet...
Lovely, crisp unisex Eau. Beautiful!
Salomon van Ruisdael, 1602
Heeley-Sel Marin
A perfect rendition of a salt marsh or a
romp in the ocean on a hot day.
My eyes are closed and I float aimlessly, quietly.
I dream of the beautiful parrot fish darting
among the rocks in the dappled sunlight.
Sel Marin Notes;
lemon, Sicilian bergamot, sea salt, seaweed, vetiver, birch, cedar

Good Morning All. The SOTD is L'Oocitane's 'CALANQUES' limited edition, introduced this month. This is a lovely scent. I would definitely consider this a unisex fragrance. Some have described it as "Fresh, sunny, and aquatic". Others say,"Woody, aromatic" I would agree that it encompasses both descriptions. Notes include;
Top: Lemon, Mandarin, Lentiska
Middle: Aquatic Accords, Jasmine, Lentiska
Bottom: Whitewoods, Cypress, Benzoin Pine Tree
The only drawback that I've observed is the sillage is pathetically lacking, I will probably purchase the body milk (lotion) for this purpose, only because I really enjoy the frarance.
Quarry- have fun today !
This morning it's Lakshmi by Ajne.
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
Good Evening
The evening scent :Coco Mademoiselle
Chanel No19 was named after her birthday date!!!

I'm wearing Bath & Body Works Pink Grapefruit today. It's sweet and juicy, and reminds me of a summery cocktail.
Quarry, I certainly know how much fun you're having right now.![]()
