[Guest 3]

RHM, I'm so sorry. I hope it is something that can be corrected/adjusted/healed. Sending your mom best wishes for recovery.

Wearing Chantilly edt and powder this evening (what else?).

Oh no, RHM! I hope they got that worked out.

Today as it's still cool outside, I'm in the inimitable She-Wolf by smell bent, got two compliments on this, it passed the boyfriend test as well - he likes almost nothing and I'd assumed he would be put off by the 'dirty musk' but he loves it. It's pretty much just that 'dirty musk' smell and vanilla, simple but perfect. The oil not the spray.

Running in.......my Mom was rushed to the ER earlier today. She woke up with a huge lump in her neck where they had put the stent.
My brother and sisters are with her in Florida. I'm trying to stay calm but honestly, I am freaking out.

RHM, so sorry to hear that your mom is having more problems. I hope the doctors can fix it quickly.

Update: well, they didn't find anything. She's back home again.

Thank you all for your kindness. I hate being so far away when she's sick.

My SOTD has been Miller Harris Citron Citron. Notes: Citron Citron is the essence of citrus with all the bright, clean freshness that suggests. A vibrant spritz of Sicilian lemon, Spanish orange and Jamaican lime are given spin by cool mint and basil, while a complex base of green moss, Moroccan cedar and cardamom provide a lasting background.

((RHM)) Scary stuff. Hard to deal with from a distance.


I've been wearing Demeter Gingerale from a sample, and love it.

Wore a bit of vintage Diorissimo for my grocery shopping, then tried on some Scherrer by Jean Louis Scherrer.

Good to know she is home; bad to not get any answers. I have not smelled Citron Citron, but it sounds like a true pick-me-up and perfect for you today!

Warum, to answer your question: cologne is cologne is cologne, by any name. Nothing deep purple, or dark, or sinister about After Midnight. It is more like "Hello sunshine!" really. I like artemisia in fragrances in general and this one is no exception -- my favorite of the 4 TDC colognes (one is oranges, another one is lemons and the third one is dandelions of all things). OK, on top of being not very impressive, it does not last at all. Forgetful, regretfully, especially for the asking price. Desole (my now banned friend sherapop would say).

Thanks, TWolf, I liked this one best of all four as well, but also did not find it particularly memorable. But this is the one I will retest, and in a spray.

(((RHM and Mom)))

SOTE is DSH Cardamom and Khyphi.

G., thank you for Una Furtiva Lagrima! It is wonderful, got more than just one tear out of me for sure!
