Good morning all !. Blue skies and light frost for the final day of the Easter break. Will be making the most of the fine weather and won't be worrying about the backlog at work until tomorrow arrives


Paco Rabanne - La Nuit.

[kewart]

Weather report - light snow interspersed with hailstones.
It's bitterly cold but sunny as well. All four seasons at once!
It's all very confusing for the birds and plants.

I need something warming and comforting so am going with
Joop Le Bain.

SotE: Pacoma - Gatsby.

Good morning, all!

Jujy, I forgot to mention yesterday how much I enjoyed the photos of Cleveland's concert hall. What a gorgeous space! We're signing up for a membership with our local symphony; my husband's company designed the concert hall. It's, of course, very modern with a distinctly Scandinavian influence. It's really beautiful I love attending events there. As soon as I can find a photo that isn't too large to post, I will. (If you're interested, Jujy, it's the Holland Performing Arts Center in Omaha.)

The year's first thunderstorms are forecast for today -- and I believe I just saw a lightning flash. Hopefully some rain comes, too.

The smell of the air this morning made me reach for the woody citric green of Parfum d'Empire Eau de Gloire.

The Bird

I love to hear the little bird

Into song by morning stirred.

Provided that he doesn't sing ^~\

Before my own awakening.

A bird that wakes a fellow up.

Should have been a buttercup.

Sotd: Caswell-Massey New York Botanical Garden Honeysuckle

[Trilby Lark]

I'm wearing Diptyque Florabellio today.

I feel good this morning. I felt horrible yesterday and realized I had a hangover from Sunday's French 75s. I've lost my touch, apparently.

[knit at nite]

Miel & Citron / Honey & Lemon by L'Occitane (2007) for the second day.

Shycat Loved the poem!

[Robin-in-FL]

Still in Samsara today, and some rose deodorant.

The spring birdsong in the back yard is Loud this morning.

All I seem to have is a single bird who sounds exactly like a rusty hinge on a door that someone is opening ten times every minute. Not pleasant to wake up to.

The smell of the air this morning made me reach for the woody citric green of Parfum d'Empire Eau de Gloire.

I simply must get a bottle of that.

Today I'm re-evaluating the bottle I bought a year ago of the newest Miguel Matos interpretation of Cabochard EDP. I think I was too harsh to it at the time, or maybe my bottle has mellowed; I don't think I've worn it in the intervening year. At any rate, it's smelling quite fine to me today, with a big blast of bitter galbanum and a fine imitation of a black leather jacket. Very handsome thick Lalique bottle, too.

Lovely poem, Shycat!

We also had snow showers today. Wearing Mon Guerlain EDT.

SOTA

[ExtremeK]

I simply must get a bottle of that.

Eau de Gloire occupies the same “mossy woods” space as some of the popular 80s masculines, like Halston Z-14. EdG throws in some spice, too (just a faint suggestion of what’s in Aziyade), and a touch of leather.

It reminds me a little of ELdO Je Suis Un Homme but less leather and more green freshness.

If any of that sounds appealing, you *should* get a bottle

ETA: there’s apparently a new green PdE: Mal-Aimé. It’s apparently built around a wild weed that is native to Corsica. Not surprisingly, I can’t wait to try it.

SOTE: Bayrhum Vetiver by Creed

[mikeperez23]

Joining the determined-to-get-thru-my-sample crowd in a sample of:

Chene by Serge Lutens



I forgot how gorgeous this one is. Sort of like Woodcut by Olympic Orchids...but more opulent and beautiful. WAY too fancy for a normal Tuesday at the office. But hey. I'm worth it.

You're singing my song. I love every scent you mentioned.

Hurrah! He's always best when he veers back to Corsica. I still haven't tried his wine-based scent, Sante, have you?

[ComDiva]

Hi, everyone - All the Eau de Gloire talk has me itching to try it now. Unfortunately that would likely mean chasing down *another* sample to add to my collection. Oy.

Have decided to finish up trying all the samples in my Kerosene 19-perfumes (!) Discovery Set this week. I can do it, especially if I add a few SOTEs. Today it was Kerosene Broken Theories. Not wildly compelling to me, especially after yesterday's great experience with Blackmail (even though they have some significant notes in common).



The fragrance is starting to settle out a bit for me, but for the first little while, and even still now, I am mostly smelling a melange that ends up smelling to me like spearmint and a small hint of blond wood. Now I'm getting a bit more of the spices and tobacco, too, but still not doing it for me.

Terrific Tuesday, everyone!

Broken Theories fragrance notes: Blood orange, Tobacco, Spices, Vanilla bean, Sandalwood, Oud, Incense.
