SotD: Tuesday 23rd April, '13

[gandhajala]

Morning All,

Glorious Spring day here - hope the sun is shining where you are, too.
Had a hugely enjoyable night at the opera, but was saddened to awake to the news that Richie Havens had passed. A long time musical hero of mine, requiescat in pace..

<em>

Oxford & Cambridge today.
Best to all.

[donna255]

Hello all. Bright and sunny here as well.

Diane edp by Diane Von F.

[Larimar]

Good morning, G.!
I'm pleased to hear you had a great night out. Sunny and 20+ degrees here... my idea of a good life!
Parure EdT last night and today.
Best to all

Best to all.

[JON RODGERS]

Good morning !. Glad to see you are wearing something patriotic today, G







Penhaligon's LP No 9 here.

[Twolf]

LadyM, I tested Roja Dove Scandal EdP earlier this morning, did not know it was your SotD. Soft but long-lasting, white floral bouquet, with sort of boring (aka predictable/reliable/unpretentious/classy) dryout, very pleasant overall.

If a good Samaritan on a John Deere were to come and scoop us up, I would not chase him away today. It will probably get all muddy tomorrow.

Anyway, my SotD is Hermes Faubourg 24, not delicate.

Bonjour Mesdames!
.............................

[Evangeline]

Good morning, everyone -

I'm in Priscilla Presley's Roses and More. Y'all have a great day!

[sfmedusa]

I'm wearing a scent that isn't in the database- Body Shop Amber Oud, which is a very fizzy and bright amber, which for some reason I can't explain makes me really hungry.

[30 Roses]

It's been raw and breezy, and is threatening rain now but at least we don't have snow any more, so I'm not complaining!

SotD is Brin de Réglisse from a sample. My lavender kick goes on....

[hednic]

Jules by Dior

[Robin-in-FL]

Good morning, good smelling people.

The Mure et Musc Extreme over Mango body lotion today, M³

I was amused the other day when my 6yo came up to me and we had this exchange:

"Pie is a homophone. Because it's that cake and also it's that number, that number that has to do with circles. What is that number?"

"Three point one four something"

"That's what Jasmine said!"

I am sure they learned *homophone* in kindergarten. But Pi?

[lilybelle]

Ladymurasaki, that is a great photo! It tells the whole story (or the first chapter of it anyway).

Happy St. George's Day to our friends in England!

I am reading Tilar J. Mazzeo's The Secret History of Chanel No. 5, and it has me craving Chanel No. 5 in the worst way! So this morning it is a vintage version of Chanel No. 5 cologne mist for me.

R.I.P. Ritchie Havens.

[elizrj]

Thank you all for your kind thoughts yesterday. We are pumping pumping pumping. I laughed when I saw one of the businesses and library who are complaining about the 2" of water in their basement. We were approaching 4', spread over 13,000sf. That's a lot of water!

It's raining and cold again. I agree with everyone that Spring is fighting to arrive. I am wearing the cozy Absolue por le Soir. Honestly, one small spritz of this and I can smell the warmth, but it doesn't feel skanky to me. Some people have called it inappropriate for work, and I suppose if I wore a bunch more it may be. But as it is, it's kind of a warm skin scent to me.

Jon, that picture of the Iris field yesterday was amazing!!

PerfumedLady, thank you so much for the offer of a sample. I will send you a PM. I'd love to try that one.

[PerfumedLady]

Lol, lilybelle, I've just finished my fourth re-reading of that book and we're (sort of) scent twins today! No.5 EDT for me today. Such an entertaining read, always gives me the craving too.

Happy St. George's day to our celebrating friends!

Just saw you pop in up there, elizrj! Yes, just message me; will be peeking in here again later!

[cello]

Good morning, all. Chanel 31 rue Cambon for me again today.

[iodine]

God afternoon.

Cuir Ottoman today

[L'enfer]

Continuing my iris week with Chanel 28 La Pausa.

[BooRad859]

Sampling Gothic III by Loree Rodkin. White florals, amber and musk.

[Kiliwia]

Hi everyone! I've been gone for a couple of days, I had appointments in Rochester again. Everything is going great and don't need to see the doctors there for a year. Interesting drive down and back though, we hit snowstorms both ways, got a little scary at times, but we made it. My son went with me this time, thank goodness he's a good driver and it was really nice to spend some extra time with him.

Wearing Agent Provocateur Petale Noir this morning.

Joining gandhajala in:

Oxford & Cambridge by C&S



I can relate 30 Roses - I, like you, have been craving lavender also. It sort of comes over me, ever so often & I can't explain it. I don't have a lot of lavender full bottle scents (well...I have three or four lol) but I make do with samples and bottles. That Hermes is so nice, isn't it? I am sort of considering one of those honking big plastic bottles of Agua Lavanda Puig & the shower gel to match. It's so affordable!

[teardrop]

Good afternoon, & a Happy St. George's Day to all!

lt's a glorious day here too, with temperatures in the 20s; proper "t-shirt weather"!

l wanted to finish my sample of La Tulipe this morning, but couldn't get the darn thing to spray. lt's a manufacturer's sample, so l can't just remove the spray mechanism, but there's enough in there for at least one more wearing. l'll attack it with some pliers later, l think.
lnstead l finished my sample of Jacinthe et Rose, & topped it off with some Stella Rose Absolute.
SOTE to be decided...

[ladymurasaki]

Ladymurasaki, that is a great photo! It tells the whole story (or the first chapter of it anyway).

Lilybelle, it was either this or Ingrid and Roberto

I agree with you, Twolf. It's a safe scent, I think. Office friendly, you might say and it has a classic, vintage vibe to it.

[misscasey]

Concentre d'Orange Verte.

[JON RODGERS]

Delighted to hear your news, Kiliwia.






SotE - Avignon.

[teardrop]

Jon, l visited Avignon way back in 1988, & your photo brings back some nice memories, thanks!

SOTE is Chypre Rouge, a sample from the back of the wardrobe.

[jacona]

Cold, miserable wind today, wearing Mauboussin to warm me up.

[Claire811]

Roberto Cavalli Eau de Parfum, a sweet floral, perfect for Spring.

[Sapfir]

SotE: last dops of Louve. *adding to autemn wish list*

[Evangeline]

Hello again!

I'm in Gucci No3 for the afternoon, 80s edt.

[iivanita]

Odalisque for this warm spring time, it has salty green moss note,'very nice imitation.

And l eau Chic for the evening, it has gorgeous sweet, minty geranium smell, mixed with chamomile, that reminds me of the nicest juiciest toothpaste there can be:-)

Good evening to all!

[NineInchNell]

GOOD EVENING!
My SOTD is vintage Miss Balmain

[ExtremeK]

I'm going to listen to Richie Havens "Here Comes the Sun" all the way home from the office. Something's got to work; it might as well be that gem. RIP Richie.

I'm out now for a much-needed, stress-reducing run. SotD was Parfums DelRae Mythique.

[southerngardens]

Eitenne Aigner No.2 for men. A great classic from the 80's!

[Twolf]

Testing today, among a few other things. Nothing to write home about or shout from the rooftops. Yet.

[turquoisewater]

Good evening, all.

I've been in Chanel Coco Mademoiselle all day.
Yesterday's scent was Chanel Cristalle edt.
Hmmm, maybe I should make it an all Chanel week...?

[shadesofbleu]

I'm wearing Bond Success Is A Job in NY today. It's cold and rainy here, I had to pull out the winter coat to wear to work this morning <roll eyes>

Great news, Kiliwia!

[Twolf]

Yes, Kiliwia! Very glad to hear your news and also that you had some time with your son.

[kbe]

Marc Jacobs Bang tonight
