All good, we just got the edge& are pretty protected. Thank you

It broke the record for the strongest wind we’ve had. 190km coming through some parts.

They paid to Pedro & Paul.

Comme des garcon 2man

I did not need to see this as I run to Google where to get it….

I really enjoy how the materials flow from & through each other making the perfume flow like the river it takes its name from. Glorious.

pairing it with more savoury notes of bran with a dark hint of leather making it feel suave yet alluring. It’s a delicious wear. Having worn Jicky yesterday, Spice D’Arno’s dry & powdery feel is whispering of classic French perfumery, yet the bran with a cashmeran making it almost smoky & deeper.

Wearing another from my ÇaFleurebon Best of Scents Top 10 today, it was also one of my most worn perfumes last year. Perfumer Celine Barel has composed a rather beautiful & unique take on vanilla.

I’d forgotten about this. 😅

That’s the other side of the pond! Hmm not sure what the bougie equivalent is here?

So erm my current mood?

Not here 😅

A glimpse at the shelfie mess. I’m not a neon strip light and fancy shelves doer. Boxes and darkness please, where possible.

This is apparently where they make rainbows. 🌈

Schiaparelli Shocking but done properly.

Benzoin gives the dry down this delicious intoxicating smoky cloud sensation that wraps you in a seductive embrace. Big love for this classic.

It gives you feel of the after glow of carnal pleasure, soft spices & tonka bean hum with a sexy silky orris bodily warmth, think warm pleasured flesh with a wink of leather adding darkness to the polished exotic woods.

Aromatic resinous spice & powdery smoky rich woods gives Jicky this dirty clean sensuality that’s rather magic.

Aromatic tones of purples & greens swirl through soft powdery white florals made musky with atomised resins & vanilla.

Ok I’m breaking my rules again but technically this was picked up at the end of 2023 so it’s really one from last year. Plus I wanted to wear it today. Jicky is a perfume I’d wanted for ages & each time I wear it, it makes me want to wear it more.

Luca Turin uses it well, he’s got short texts for free but his reviews are behind the paywall.

But Lemon8 is so fetch.

It’s basically a blog that gets emailed to subscribers, you can gate parts for monitization

Consumerism is built into our thinking. It’s change the channel rather than deal with the problem. Convince has become king.

Me too big fan of Lyn Harris.

This was one of my Best of Scents Top 10 for CaFleureBon last year too.

It gets beautifully cosy with vetiver & woods losing its sharp greens softening into a creamy aromatic musk with just a kiss of sweetness. One for galbanum lovers & one I’ll be revisiting in the spring & summer. A cosy ode to nature.

What’s your fave from Perfumer H?

Dandelion is a green dream that had me remembering lying in the grass in fields near my house, soft creamy bitter vegative fruity greens with a cool breeze magic up that feel of endless summers feeling nature and the air around you as to make a wish & see where it takes you.

Dandelion arrived late in the summer and stole my heart at first sniff, though I was good and waited a tested a bit to make sure, but my instincts were right.

So so good.
