Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, and Happy New Year! What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm starting the year off in Guerlain Cologne du 68.
Oops...and I meant to remind everyone that Donatella will be dropping by tomorrow to clear out last year's damage so we can all start 2018 with a clean slate!
Reminder: on 1/5, we're doing Color My World...wear a perfume with a color in its name. If you don't have one, tell us what color you think matches your perfume. Suggested by Pyramus.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2018, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: the 2018 Rabbit Circular Calendar is "Printed to order on premium, thick matte paper by a museum quality printer", featuring an "Archival giclee print of a rabbit surrounded by a wreath representing the four seasons, illustrated by Jessica Roux." 12 x 12, $30 from Jessica Roux.
Happy New Year! No SOTD yet, but there was a big article about rabbit, rabbit, rabbit in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette!
Oh how fun!!

(I especially like “Or they pretend it’s the first thing they’ve said by making it the first thing they post to social media.”)
I got a chuckle out of that, too. Thanks for finding the link!
Happy New Year!
Great community project.
I am wearing Back to Black by Kilian. Yum!
I was too tired this morning to color my world — but it is a good project, agree!
I hope you’ll have some well deserved rest today. And Cologne du 68 should also give an energy boost.
Thank you Glannys!
Hm. That sounds like a good one. Or I could do a different black with Angelique Noire. I bet you could easily make a whole week out of scents with black or Noir in the name.
Or maybe I’ll go with Black Cashmere. Decisions, decisions.
Yum indeed. Thanks for the idea. I may have to wear that this week.
Happy New Year. Habit Rouge, that’s all I got.
It is more than enough & you smell great.
Welcome to 2018 everyone! Sending good vibes and best New Year wishes to all!
Last night I watched two Disney movies so I was quite entertained as I was staying at home, waiting for midnight fireworks.
I’m starting the year with a calm mind in Prada Infusion d’Amande.
Mmm I love that stuff. HNY!
Happy 2018!
For fun I did a tally of my scent diary yesterday. My most worn fragrance in 2017: LAP Passage d’Enfer. So that’s my SOTD today! PdE is one of the only perfumes I own that I can wear in every kind of weather, in every season and it still smells great!
L’Artisan Parfumeur was my most worn house in 2017. Nearly one-third of the year was spent in LAPs. And I always thought of myself as a Chanel gal! 😉
Happy Fragrant New Year!!
Oh, how fun! I should tally my 2017 most worns. I suspect by house it’s Guerlain and perfume is Shalimar but maybe I’d also be surprised.
Happy new year and rabbit rabbit rabbit to all! I am wearing 31 rue Cambon. Over on Basenotes we are doing a Chanuary scent project, wearing as much Chanel as we can in January. Not being a big Chanel person, I only have five, but I’ll participate some.
I also noticed a few of my Profumum Roma scents appear to be getting dark and going off, so that will be my other focus this month.
Finished my old bottle of SDV and opened the new one. It’s not a patch on the original launch bottle I had; very watered-down. Will have to layer it over some of my BBW vanilla lotion to give it some oomph. This will definitely be my last bottle. I took advantage of the Osswald single use 15% off coupon at midnight last night to order a bottle of Tihota – now that’s a vanilla perfume you can smell! Coupon is NEWYEAR and good thru Jan. 31st. This has been a public service announcement, no affiliation. 🙂
OOO. I should do a month of Chanel scents — not that I have that MANY Chanels, but I could probably not get tired of them. Except maybe not in January, because that would knock me out of wearing many of my “really cold weather” scents.
Oooh, I like Chanuary! I probably have more Chanels than I care to admit. And I have yet to dip into my Les Exclusifs EDP set.
Re: Tihota. Please let me know, once you get your bottle, if your Tihota juice is light or dark. I got my BUB last year, or perhaps in mid to late 2016 and the juice is light; it smells the same as my first bottle which has dark juice.
I will let you know what I get. My last bottle was purchased around April 2015 and it is dark. But I think all vanilla (real, not synthetic) turns dark over time, no? I recall it was lighter when I first got it and it has turned darker.
Chanuary sounds marvelous to me. I will look for the project over on Basenotes.
And was that you sharing favorites on Fragrantica’s best of 2017 post? You’re everywhere! 😉
oh dear, it’s must have been over on Basenotes where I saw cazaubon’s favorites.
I have too many best of 2017 lists open in this browser.
Yes, it was on BN. I don’t post on Fragrantica, just use their database as a reference. I can’t keep up with more forums or I would never leave the house!
Chanuary, excellent idea!
Happy New Year to everybody! Starting 2018 with Concentré d’Orange Verte. Does that count as two colors? ????
Hahaha! Yes it does!
Happy New Year! Just waking up here in the PNW, but planning on SSS Equestrian today.
Now for coffee…☕️
I lied. Same house, different perfume: Yin/Ylang to warm me up. Ice on my windshield this morning and T-Rex didn’t want to get out of bed- a sure sign it’s too cold. ????????
You smell fab! I love Yin Ylang.
Happy New Year!
I am wearing Jour de Fête by L’Artisan Parfumeur.
Perfect choice, you smell fabulous!
You smell great!
Happy New Year Robin & NST community of friends! Wishing everyone a healthy and exceedingly happy 2018.
Spent a quiet night at home just me and my husband watching The Twilight Zone marathon and peeking in on Time Square here and there. Glad to see Mariah Carey made it through her songs OK this year but apparently Anderson Cooper was a big fail without Kathy Griffin as his side kick. Oh the drama of New Year’s Eve in the USA!
No scent just yet, but will likely do a lily of the valley for you know who.. it’s time.
Robin, I absolutely love Jessica Roux’s work! Thank you for posting her calendar and site as I’ll definitely be making some purchases. Just exquisite stuff!
So glad you knew about her, because I didn’t! That calendar is fantastic.
???? Rabbit Rabbit ???? Rabbit ????
LPRN EdT
Bonne Année 2018!
I believe this one counts for the community project !
Rabbit emoji! I should have looked.
And yes, points for you.
Bonne année à toi aussi!
Inadvertently participating in Color My World in Amouage Gold Woman. It is the perfume I chose for the NYE party last night, and the only one I have with me. Every time I wear this, I find myself wondering why I don’t wear it more often. Yes, it is rather big, but it is quite possibly the most beautiful perfume I have ever smelled. Applies judiciously, it is not, IMHO, a sillage monster. In fact, I find it wear close to the skin than many so called “light, fresh” scents.
It’s a sillage monster on me
Gold might be the perfect New Year’s Eve scent, 50 Roses!
Putting that one on my list of options for the week. So many perfumes have color in their name. I could probably do a month of “noir” perfumes.
Happy new year all????
Here’s hoping my annis horribilis is in the rear view mirror.
Post shower Gdg Black.
Happy new year, apsara. You smell great.
I feel similarly, it was a difficult year in some ways.
I too hope for mostly good things to come in this new year. 🙂
Bye-bye 2017, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
Here’s hoping indeed. Cheers!
Yep, kick 2017 to the curb. Onwards and upwards!
Hear hear, apsara! Good riddance 2017!
Happy New Year to everyone!
I read, but seldom comment.
I want to thank Robin and the community here for such a wonderful and welcoming space to chat about scent.
I am wearing Olfactive Studio Flashback, crispy and zingy at first, and then drying down to warm vetiver. Yum.
Hi there. What a nice choice of perfume…wish I had some.
Welcome!
Brr. It’s about 14F here and we’re taking down a good portion of the Christmas decorations. (I made The CEO go out and get the big wreath hung on the outside of the big window on the second floor. Evil me! I am not very popular with the fam right now.) The tree is still up because a) it looks so pretty and b) it’s SO COLD outside nobody wants to either put the ornaments back up in the attic or take the tree to the town recycling center.
But I’m wearing Memoir Woman and I smellz gud.
Yes, you smell great! It’s 18 degrees here in Memphis. I’m trying to decide if I reeeeeally need to go grocery shopping.
I enjoyed the “best of” on your blog last week! (We are united in our love for Arielle Shoshona edp.) Here’s a link for anyone who missed it
http://themuseinwoodenshoes.com/sorta-kinda-best-of-2017-in-fragrance-maybe-not-really/
We apparently didn’t freeze here last night (TX Coast), but are forecast to do so the next three nights. I believe that three consecutive nights of below freezing temps is the record here. Not complaining–I know that much of the country is much colder–but it shows just how massive this cold front is
Brr.
My sister, who moved from Ft. Hood, TX to Fort Drum in upstate NY last year, is currently experiencing -15F temperatures. BRRRRR!!!
I think she’s cold, but having grown up in (more) temperate Virginia, she’d rather have the cold than the scorching 112F Texas summers, which are pretty hard on redheads.
Oh, thanks! It really was NOT much of a “best-of” list.
Except for the Arielle Shoshana. That’s good stuff. I do hope it comes out in a small bottle.
Well, Christmas doesn’t actually end until January 6, so you have five more days to enjoy your tree.
Oh, that’s true. Maybe we’ll leave it up until Saturday. We don’t usually put our tree up until the 10th-15th, so it’s still pretty fresh.
That is amazingly cold, at least you smell wonderful.
🙂 (but it’s going to get colder. I hope. I loathe a warm winter.)
I’m planning to do a month of Serge Lutens as a test to see how the perfumes work in summer. I always think of his scents as more autumn and winter as they tend to be warm, spicy and sweet …so I’m curious to see how it goes. Playing safe in Fleurs de Oranger this morning…not a cloud in the sky and it looks like it will be a scorcher .
I’ll be keen to hear what you think, I also tend to think of SLs as better for warmer weather.
He has quite a few standard warm-weather friendly scents in my opinion: La Religieuse, Nuit de Cellophane, the L’Eau series, Fleurs d’Oranger, La Vierge de Fer, A La Nuit, Fleurs de Citronnier, Clair de Musc, Datura Noir, and Tubereuse Criminelle. But I think even his heavier orientals can work just fine in the heat too, applied judiciously. I’ll be interested to hear how you get on.
lapin, lapin, lapin! Les lapins jumped from my lips this morning. I woke from a half-lucid dream in which I was back to my college days of speaking semi-fluent, mostly-academic French.
SotD = 4711, a great wake-me-up for January 1st
The liquid in the 4711 bottle has no color. (Why do so many bottles have yellow juice?) For me the colors of 4711 are the turquoise and gold of the label. Good branding on their part. The scent smells bright yellow-green.
My five most-worn for 2017 were
5. 4711
4. Hiris
3. Infusion d’Iris EdT
2. Chanel No. 5 EdP
1. Eau des Merveilles
It was entertaining to record each scent worn during 2017. This top 5 list looks accurate even though I forgot to log some wearings, especially when topping up a favorite scent during a busy day.
Will join Robin in the delectable Cologne du 68 later today. The delicate orange-colored juice matches the fragrance perfectly. I look forward to this week’s color-scent match ups. Hope the synesthetes among us will share.
I wish I’d kept track of my most-worn! That’s a great top 5.
Welcome to 2018, everybody!
Starting the year out with something beautiful, bright and optimistic – several sprays of Ciel d’Opale.
Nice!
Headed to breakfast then an art exhibit in Shalimar Mexique. I smell delicious.
In my rush to get out the door this morning I left without putting an jewelry on, including my wedding rings, which always makes me feel a bit disoriented.
Happy New Year, all! Let’s hope 2018 is an improvement over ’17, which I know was tough for lots of us. ????????
I know what you mean about wedding rings. I take mine off to do housework, and then, every so often, I find myself out and about without it. Feels most odd when that happens. I told the dear one about this feeling, but he didn’t get it at all. He doesn’t wear a ring—he lost two (built one into the wall of a house we were renovating) and doesn’t want a replacement.
My husband wears his all the time, I wear mine only when I go out, and like you feel odd when I run out without them.
Happy New Year everyone. I’ll have to try again next month to say rabbit x 3.
The NYE festivities were fun. We had it at a restaurant Xalet de Montjuic, one of the highest points in Barcelona set in the former or next to where the Olympics was held. It was a six course menu with wine pairing. The portions were just right, beautifully presented and tasty! I got to eat my 12 grapes right before midnight (painstakingly peeled and seeded by yours truly) and we were also treated to a nice view of fireworks.
SOTD = SSS Bee’s Bliss (again)
… I would color this yellow.
Now I am off to dinner and will be back!
Oh, how wonderful! Love your trip already! Happy New Year to you!
Sounds wonderful! Enjoy✌????
Wow! What a classy evening! ????
Sounds fabulous, and you smell great!
Keeping New Year’s resolution #1 by coming out of years’ worth of lurking and actually commenting. Keeping New Year’s resolution #2 by participating in the weekly project. Keeping New Year’s resolution #3 by working on my mountain of samples. Resolutions don’t always last long, but for today I’m killin’ it.
SOTD: Escada Turquoise Summer, in decided contrast to the current weather. Musky-woodsy, with a wallop of melon and blackcurrant. Not really my thing, but that’s one sample down. Happy New Year, everyone!
Welcome, and happy new year!
Like your resolutions and welcome!
Hello, Wombatant, and welcome. Am I right in thinking, from your screen name, that you are an Ozzie neighbour?
Unfortunately not – Michigan girl here. But I’m a big fan of marsupials, and I love hearing about the adventures of Australian and New Zealand NST-ers!
Welcome Wombatant!
Off to a great start, good for you!
Welcome, Wombatant! Always happy to see when someone de-lurks.
3 for 3, off to a good start. Welcome Wombatant!
Morning, NST. I’m beginning to think I had better go back to work tomorrow. Booo. Hiss. Officially, I could stay on holiday until 18 January. At the very least, I should definitely stay away until 8 January. But, here’s the thing: the work is there to be done and it won’t get done unless I do it, and I’m already thinking about it, which means I’ve pretty much slipped out of holiday mood, dammit. Ah, well, it’s self-inflicted. After all, I could have retired. So, no more moaning: I’ll spend today ironing, vacuuming, and trying to find a better organising system for my perfumes, and tomorrow I’ll knuckle down.
Speaking of perfume organising, which I’m sure no one really wants to, does anyone have any helpful ideas? My collection is mostly FBs, in their boxes. I have two tall slim bookcases, and I keep the perfumes in a roughly alphabetical sort by house. Inevitably, I wear the ones I can reach most easily: that is, the ones at eye level or on shelves that are not too crowded. Or, of course, the ones I love and cannot do without — ah, Chanel. Yes, I see you, 1270. Hi, there Rose de Petra….in other words, I have many, more to enjoy than I ever wear, and I get lazy and unadventurous, or I simply want to play among my loves. Then, every now and again, I discover delights at the back of shelves, and wish I’d been enjoying them all along.
Maybe I need to rotate them better? Perhaps instead of an arbitrary placement by house, I should work a relegation system, putting the ones that are out of favour down at knee height. Yes, Lyric, that will be you, and will you please just SHUT UP about it? You won’t be alone down there—you might just find yourself with Epic for company. And all those poncy ones from Killian. Relegation would leave more room on the convenient shelves for the ones I love and the ones I want to learn….I suppose that makes as much sense as anything else my mad little brain is likely to come up with.
I could ask the dear man to make me another bookcase, but I think he might turn apoplectic. Also, I might feel duty bound to fill it, and Donatella would tell me that’s just silly. So, NST, if you have any ideas or solutions, having maybe faced the same problem yourselves at some point, I’d dearly love to hear them.
Interlude.
I did speak to the dear one about another bookcase. He reply was free, frank and fluent, and in fact, we nearly had A Discussion, but he came up with an idea that sort of fits the way I operate: work a relegation system, but instead of just letting it become the new norm, change the rotation every time I change my passwords. That would mean that every couple of months or so, sometimes more often but never less, I would move things round, thus keep the “wearing shelves” fairly empty, tidy and accessible, and I might be more inclined to “shop” my own stash.
I’ll try this, but I’d still love to hear people’s ideas if you have time to share.
Be well, all.
Mine are stuffed in various cupboards and drawers, wherever I can find space. That is because I don’t have much space for extra furniture, but has the added benefit of not giving a clear picture of just how crazy I am. I have a complete list that I refer to often, but that avoids the visual impact – maybe I need to put all my bottles and boxes in the middle of the floor and see just how much I have 🙂
I like the idea of a regular rotation.
“The added benefit of not giving a clear picture of how crazy I am” Hilarious and perfect!
There is that thing about not seeing everything all at once that is quite comforting, I must admit. I have nowhere to hide my “little ways”. I sorted out nail colours into one place yesterday—now THAT was a revelation. I’m only an intermittent painter of nails, but if you could see the number of colours I have, you’d maybe expect me to be opening a salon, or something.
The good thing is that now I see them all at once, and have realised how finely graded the colours are in the pinks, the reds, etc, I feel far less tempted by the latest seasonal release. Something would have to be truly different or outstandingly beautiful to tempt me now.
I did that once with my shoes – totally appalling, especially the number of black pairs. I vowed there and then, no more black shoes.
Best of luck on your return to work. I feel the same. Once obligations begin to loom over me, I move along and get them done. Would Eric help you feel better if he went with you? =^..^=
My dedicated perfume space is inside a clothes closet — a small table with a round, glass tray on top. All the bottles must fit on the tray, their boxes sit behind the tray on the table.
A few times a year I switch the bottles around to give old-favorites a better chance at getting used. Any scent I have fallen out with goes to the floor under the table. If a bottle stays there long enough (a highly elastic time period) I put it back in the original box. This visually reminds me that the bottle needs to go to a new home. Boxed bottles go to nearby friends (saves on postage!) or to fellow perfumists as swaps and freebies.
Thank you. That’s a good system, and similar to the one I am trying to achieve, though my perfumes would be exposed to light if they were not in their boxes, so I can’t work that part of it. I could, however, have a bottom-most shelf= out the door, which would work the same way. I might set aside a “Dubious Acquisitions” shelf.
I think a single shelf, at shoulder height, that runs around the entire interior wall space of your apartment. Wherever you are there will be a handy perfume. To get over the ‘no more shelves’ problem and win the engineer over either make it out of meccano, or make it wide enough for a perfume bottle and an electric model train track…with lots of bridges and tunnels. . Then, if you’re feeling lazy you can ask him to load a perfume onto a train and whizz it around to you. Also…you can have electric mice on the tracks for the kittens to chase.
That would be utterly the best thing. It would have the merit of keeping the kittens occupied too— maybe we could train Eric to work the switches. He’s a bit brighter than the Stripies, we think.
This is brilliant.
Hilarious ????
Especially the visual of whizzing perfume bottles and cats chasing electric mice????
Awww! 2018 is finally here! Happy New Year my scented friends! May the New Year bring you all happiness, good health, and prosperity!
Robin, thank you so much for bringing happiness to me through fragrance for the last few years. NST has brought me joy in some of the darkest times in my life. I thank you for your services and look forward to the upcoming years!
My SOTD is Hermes “Twilly d’ Hermes”. I chose something that had a twist to it to start off the new year.
Cheers Everyone!
I’m liking Twilly more and more. It’s an easy scent to wear and a bit spunky too.
We are glad our services are helpful 🙂
You smell great! I really like Twilly, it’s cheerful and easy to wear.
Happy New Year everyone, hope 2018 is a good one.
It’s forecast to be a nice day here, and I’m planning on a trip to a plant shop. I live in an apartment so don’t have a garden, but I do have a lot of indoor plants, many of which are in dire need of repotting and I need more potting mix. Clearly something floral is called for, I’m thinking 1000 by Jean Patou.
Nice day! I love plant shops. I wish I had more success with keeping them alive, however.
All my potplants except the geranium died while I was away, though I had given them a good soak and so on. I too need to send my way to a plant shop, but I’m too lazy and unbuttoned to do it today.
Oh, and I KNOW I wrote “wend” above. Damn beastly interfering autocorrect.
Happy New Year! Wearing JM’s Wood Sage and Sea Salt. I noticed that this is tied for my most-worn frag on Basenotes, which is interesting b/c I don’t consider it a favorite. Very easy to wear, I guess . . .
JM’s Wood Sage and Sea Salt doesn’t get the credit it deserves, IMO.
Love this one.
I love WSSS. It’s become one of my favorite comfort scents.
Very easy to wear scent. You can spray that one with total reckless abandon and still not feel its too much.
When I think of perfume color, I think of Gucci Rush, in its red rectangle and the red ad photo by Mario Testino:
https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/87/213530627_7cfe360e88_b.jpg
Might begin the year in this one!
Awesome ad, awesome fragrance!
Happy New Year everyone! I’m officially sick, and in bed. Trying to get better before I have to work tomorrow. I just reached over and sprayed a little Au the’ Bleu to participate. I have worn this quite a bit this past year, mostly as a bedtime scent. It’s very calming to me.
Sorry you’re in bed sick! I’m very grateful I’ve made it through my holiday time off without any illness. Family and friends have not been so lucky! Hope you are better very soon!
Ditto!
Feel better soon!
Hope you are better! (Or, if it serves you well, just ill enough to miss work tomorrow?)
Sorry to hear that it is a full-blown case of the crud, Lillyjo! I hope that you are feeling better soon.
Oh no, get well soon!
Hope you get better soon! Au Thé Bleu was my 2017 summer scent.
I’m lazing about happily, getting ready to eat a breakfast of chicken apple sausage, scrambled eggs, and half of a cheese danish. I’m wearing dabs of the White Linen solid in the gold seashell compact that I found at Goodwill a couple weeks ago. A little goes a long way! Aldehydes, aldehydes, aldehydes (in lieu of the rabbitx3 that I’ll never remember to do).
Yum!
Happy new year! May 2018 bring you happiness, health and peace.
I’m relaxing in Bois Farine today.
You smell perfect.
Ringing in the new year with YSL Champagne. ThI scent is perfect on this freezing cold day.
Happy New Year NSTRS! I’m so thankful for this wonderfully kind community and most especially to Robin for creating and maintaining this wonderful space!
I am sort of shocked at how cold it is!!
And thank you for being part of the community.
????
Happy New Year, dearest NSTers! May 2018 be splendid.
I’m wearing my brand-new present-to-self–Mitzah!!!!! It was labeled “vintage,” though the Internet suggests that it can’t be more than seven years old. So much for “vintage.” I mean, it’s *a* vintage, I suppose. I can’t even pretend I’ve held onto any kind of no-buy. Donatella will hear about my shame tomorrow.
Mitzah is quite nice. The boyfriend says, “It smells like a musty old room. But not in a bad way. Hey, isn’t this an improvement over how I used to say, ‘Smells like perfume!’?”
Is Mitzah for me? I am not sure. The 7.5-mL mini is just the most adorable thing in the universe, but I suspect I may work through about 0.5 mL and then put it up on the swapmeet (any takers?).
I tried Ummagumma last night and almost died. The opening was gorgeous, but once it settled into my skin, it was the most headache-inducing Hindu temple with sandalwood and incense playing on full blast while hundreds of bodies sweat into the uncirculated air. More for Deva, I guess!
Your Ummagumma description is hilarious ???? I would have preferred Hindu temple. I only smelled syrupy, sweet chocolate liqueur.
And yes, he deserves credit for using descriptive language rather than the cop-out perfume answer that my husband also gives. ????
Your Ummagumma description has totally untempted me. Thank goodness…
Wow! Your experience with my beloved Ummagumma is hilarious! Since you won’t be needing a bottle, I just may buy a BUB. ????
Your Ummagumma description is very visceral! ????
His choice of adjective could have been less pejorative, but I guess it’s progress. My husband’s two responses are « It smells like flowers » or « it smells like incense ». Although lately he’s gotten lazier and now just says « that smells like something you’d like. »
I adore Mitzah, and would love to swap if you decide it’s not for you. (I have a new Gris Montaigne mini if you’re interested.????) Mitzah is no longer sold in the US, but I found it in Hong Kong last year. Couldn’t stomach the exchange rate which made it even more spendy. ????
Noted! I’ll poke you about it once I make a decision. I do love Gris Montaigne.
Happy New Year everyone! The only thing I can predict about 2018 is that we’ll all continue to smell great.
Testing/comparing several earthy, dark roses and hoping everything’ll be coming up roses this year:
Hendley Rosenthal: rose-chouli, ambery, with what smells like a touch of immortel. Reminds me a smidge of Providence PC Bohemian Rose. Nice.
Aroma M Nobara-Cha again. Rose, geranium, sandalwood, amber. ????
OJ Ta’if: creamy rose with woods and pepper? Like but don’t love.
Ava Lux Bohemian Rose- dark rosy amber. Nice but a bit sweet-similar to Aroma M but less rough.
L’Artisan Voleur de Roses: a lotta pachouli, dirt, and red rose bush.
The winners for me are the Hendley and Aroma M. And “rose” is a color!
Everything you tried today sounds wonderful!
Happy new year everyone!!!
Started the new year with a walk in the woods and a visit to the hospital.
My mother complimented me on my sotd: Eau des Merveilles. 🙂
SotEvening is MAAI.
Your mom is right, you smell good!
Happy New Year, NST! And I totally forgot about the rabbits!
SOTD = Gucci Bloom, from the sample stash. I like it quite a bit. Not sure if it will be a love, though. Definitely worth trying this sample in different weather to see how it wears in something besides ZOMG! cold .
I had a quiet NYE at home with Mr. Jalapeno and the cats. I did see the latest Star Wars Move, The Last Jedi, on the 30th with a group of people. I liked it… it was a solid Star Wars movie. There were a couple of HUGE plot points that I will NOT mention here… spoilers, they would be.
I finished off my little bottle of Anais Anais. Perhaps this triumph will spur me to finish off other bottles, decants, etc. this year. We shall see.
Congrats on finishing a bottle. It’s quite an achievement for one of us. Now you can add something new to your collection. ????
I ended the day in Profumum Ambra Aurea, which has turned very dark brown with lots of sediment. You can tell it has a lot of natural ingredients. I had to decant the remainder into a rollerball as it stains, so too dangerous to spray. It is on the verge of going off so I am going to finish these last 10 mls quickly.
Very clever to finish it up in this manner. Happy New Year!
