Good morning,
I started off earlier ths morning in Coup de Fouet and now have the rest of my Vetiver Extraordinaire sample on my wrist. And I thought I was through with the Malles (selling all bottles -except the superb Une Fleur de Cassie- last year)...
Good morning all !. SotD is Rive Gauche PH.
Ready for the weekend

Hello and happy Friday all! My Christmas tree came down yesterday. Got increasingly fed up of pulling the kittens out of it, untangling them from the lights/tinsel and retrieving baubles from the farthest reaches of the living room. So now they're back to ragging the furniture. They're so cute though, even as they trash the house, so all is forgiven
For synch Friday (frag you've never worn before) I'm in Allure edp. Can't believe I haven't tried this before.

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..."

Here in Italy the tree is taken off after Jan 6th and in Russia after January 13 (it's the New Year according to the 'old' calendar) so if you feel like taking your time with the tree, you can!

Good morning! Will be joining in wine o'clock soon, but first must get through the work day![]()
For synch Friday, I am in a sample of Naomi Goodsir Cuir Velours, so house twins with Danny!
Thanks dianabi! Here in the UK the tree has to be taken down by Twelfth Night, (the 6th) but l'm working this weekend & so l had to get it done today. l put on some of my old vinyl records to make it seem less of a chore, & it's nice to see the living room looking so clean & tidy again. Now l can start looking forward!![]()

Hi all and god fortsättning (means good continuation, and refers to the new year when said after 1/1) as we say in Sweden!

Good morning, everyone!
It's another bright and glorious day in the mountains! No skiing today, though - we're headed into Boulder to meet friends for lunch, and I'm in Coromandel.
Y'all have a fantastic day!
Hi there, PerfumedLady! Thank you, it's nice to see you, too.
And teardrop, it's also nice to see you here! I sure hope you stick around - I've been enjoying your thread starters lately.![]()
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan

Not in synch today, I'm wearing Sweet Redemption. I was supposed to have an appointment today with the eye surgeon (I have a cataract that needs surgery) but a STUPID insurance snafoo caused me to reschedule for later this month ... after I had driven all the way there! grrrrr Anyway, now I have the rest of my day off to enjoy.
hugs to all ... TGIF!
I've trademarked the color bleu
Good morning!
Teardrop, we're chore twins today, I'm taking down all Christmas decorations today, too and listening to music. It really does help make it more fun and go faster.
Devilcat, I bet your kittens are getting big, would love to see a picture of them. I think you're pretty brave having a tree up at all with kittens in the house. I remember the destruction years ago when we tried mixing the two, it wasn't good, lol.
Today for Sync Friday I'm trying Profumum Rosae Mundi, with notes of rose, patchouli, vetiver and cedar. On a thread here on Basenotes others thought it smells similar to Cabaret and I really don't get the connection. Rosae Mundi is far more unisex than Cabaret and Cabaret is more floral and sweeter. This is the first time wearing it so I guess it will take a few more wears to know exactly what I think about it.
Have a great weekend!
^ Ditto.

Not in sync, sotd is Stella.
L'Heure Bleue EDP

Synching in OJ Ta'if. Lovely work.
Back at work on Monday and going away for Mr Ali's birthday over the weekend. Going to a cold and blustery north eastern coastal resort. Might pop into York on the wayback and visit Burgins if they're open?
Shades hope all goes well when you have it done and that you enjoyed your unexpected time off
Shades dear, put on your sleep mask
and enjoy a little time off.
Today's sync theme is to wear a scent you haven't worn before. Close enough is MPG Freezia d'Or, which I've worn once before. Floral radiance, so upper-crust. If you can't afford the discontinued Sabi ($$$$!), this would make a good substitute. Tuberose and jasmine are the Paul McCartney and John Lennon of this chorus of flowers.
Kiliwia read my mind: Would love to have seen photos of Devilcat's pranksters wearing tinsel. (K, your photo choice excites me to the core.)
For my wine friends, we're behind in bottling, so I'll have to use a wine thief to fill your glass. I believe you all like dry reds, Jon, Gandhajala, Larimar, Cello. Who else is up for a glass? I'll toast you by name over daughter's homemade chicken pot pie at lunchtime.
Reminder: Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month ~~~ Sniff 'n' Speak, Orientals.
