Not in sync today. I forgot. I'm wearing Bourbon French's La Pluie (thanks, Rtamara! xo). I'll sync up later, for the evening.

Hermes Jardin sur le Toit today. I am not sure if it has aldehyde, it is not fizzy smelling. Was going to synch in either Barbara Bui or Tokyo Mama Fizz, but forgot and this one is working well for me today, I smell good.

Post-shower, switched to YSL In Love Again.

Good evening,
Had a rough day (business trip from very early morning until now)... perfumed the early morning cab with Caron's Pour un Homme. I need a bite now and some red wine. Hedonist, I am happy you are in love with this vintage style gem! I need something refreshing, so I will go with the pleasant lavender Jicky.
I am very impressed that the En Avion thread is unlocked. Really I am! Thanks!

Serge Lutens-Bois Oriental
Surging, throbbing waves of color
are the feathers in the woods.
These great wings of delight
carry me from tree to tree in a gust of
bronze and gold.

The cedars and the gentle pines,
caress the senses with smoke and
sap, coursing through their limbs.

Boozy, there in the sky, I am rocking
as the nest sways under the stars.

Notes;
violet, peach, plum, rose, cardamom, cinnamon,
clove, musk, Atlas cedarwood, and vanilla.

Missed the sync but going to treat myself to post bath 20yo No 5 over No 5 body cream for bed as we have to be up and off at "daft o'clock" for our early morning flight. Be back in 8 days. Stay fragrant x

Good evening, Had a rough day...

You and me both, my friend. Friday the 13th, and all that.

On a positive note, I just spoke to my mother who is utterly in love with the Portrait of a Lady decant I left with her over Christmas. "I just can't stop sniffing myself", she said. She's even been on the web to look at prices. Suffice to say, I don't think she'll be buying a bottle any time soon...

31 Rue Cambon tonight.

Take care everyone.

Ps. Great news about the En Avion thread!

[matildaben]

Twins with Coconut in Fou d'Absinthe. I think I need to get Misterben to try this one.

Gandhajala, I tried PoaL for the first time last night - I think I'm in love.

I wish you were in New York, because I have a whole 50ml bottle of POL, that I love but my husband cannot stand...and I could easily give you more than enough for your mom. I cannot wear more than 1 spray per 48 hour period.
Anyway, let me know if she ends up in a POL emergency.

After the fracas yesterday, I am in Fracas. Happy Friday the 13th.

[jacona]

not in sync, wearing Obsession because it's so cold.

That's so sweet, thanks Fleurine. I may just save up the pennies and spring for a bottle for her.
Sorry to hear Mr. F isn't a fan - that's gotta be a tough one to negotiate. Still, I think you smell fab

My husband would be thrilled. The bottle is his...someone PM me an address to send it to please.

[gandhajala]

^ What have I started ????

That's incredibly kind Hedonist, but honestly, you really needn't.
Matildabenis sounding like her knees may be weakening a little though....

Edit: Oh, Fleurine. No. Somebody stop her !

2000 posts today - let the celebrations begin

[gandhajala]

Thank you L & J for your kind words

[cello]

2000 posts by gandhajala!!! Well, this just makes me weak in the knees congrats!

[Larimar]

cellojellyknees?
Big congrats on your 2000 posts, G.!

[matildaben]

Fleurine, any chance you could decant me some of that PoaL before you send it away?

[Kiliwia]

Congrats Gandhajala on your 2000 posts!!!

[Guest 3]

Congrats Gandhajala!

Larimar, I hope you are relaxing now, back at home again, de-stressing.

I'm finally in sync this evening in First edt. I love this one, but I don't think I'm getting the civet in here that others do. Mine is a new bottle so maybe that's why. Still, it's very nice, and I'm not sorry I bought it. I love its seamless bouquet, sparkle and lovely texture.

Whew, I am glad to have my favorite sync going and a workshop I was giving DONE! Because of teaching hands-on activities today and running around I decided I'll test from dab samples. So I was in sync in Baghari during my talk, in sync in SSS Champagne de Bois afterwards. I'm ready to make it home, shower and wear one of my favorites to stay in sync.

[PerfumedLady]

Well, look at all the kind and thoughtful goings-on in here! What a nice place to be!
Congrats,G! We want (expect) many more of your posts!

Shades, I love cream&navy together. Nope, no surprise from you but what a nice combo!

Funnily enough a man hailing from the Subcontinent of India complimented how good I smelled.

I asked if it smelt familiar and he said yes very much.
I said it should because it's a blend of sandalwood and roses.
Both of which are abundant naturally and used a lot in fragrance in that geographic area.

Aww, it reminded him subconsciously of home. Sweet story! Scent is so emotional, even when we're unaware of the reasons.

Joining those remaining in Chanel tonight in No.5.

And thankful for the unlocking of the famous thread, which will keep our dear ones with us!

[Mathilde]

Congratulations, Gadhajala!

Posting late, but accidentally in synch with Chanel No. 5 eau de parfum. I just wanted a little glam after a hike up a dusty, cattle-occupied trail today.
