For Sample Saturday, I had a rummage in my Les IndΓ©modables sack. My faves are Rose de Jamal, Chypre Azural (which Iβve been through a bottle of), Haiti and Iris π
What fairies smell like when theyβre attending Oberonβs ball.
Dusitaβs Rosarine is a sweet rose treat, perfect for beating the winter blues.
The book I read this week (4/5 ~ a thriller with lots of knowing winks to writers); and the perfume I wore most (this isnβt my bottle but my partner is sleeping!); AND I got two compliments, one being so enthusiastic my sleeve was touched!
This one is so good. I think about it often! If I wasnβt on a no-buy it would be a to-buy. Itβs the combination of strawberry and (I get) suede or leatherishness in the base. Yum! You have a fine smelling household! β€οΈπ
Mine: En Passant πΌβοΈπΏ
I meant to post this from last Friday! Asking ChatGPT to pick my fragrance.
What Iβm wearing this weekβ¦ exclusively. When I work from a palette of perfume I often think I could forsake all othersβ¦
π another perfume noted! Sounds extraordinary
Iβm always on the look out for natural perfumes, and this sounds evocative. Will look up the brand! Iβve recently been wearing Santalum by Chloe (100% natural) ππͺ΅
A book that feels like a fragrance: The Party by Tessa Hadley. Young women smell different than they did in post-war Britain. This book is so Jicky with some dirty sheets, funk and attic dust thrown in. I loved this novella about two sistersβ throwing caution to the wind. #perfumesky #booksky 5π
These are so delicate and beautiful π€©
Oooh, great question. Coco Mademoiselle and Diptyque Philosykos
Wow π€© How gorgeous
The new peach Guerlain
Valentino Punk Romantic
Most Sora Doras
Dior Rouge Trafalgar Esprit
And this beautiful bottle of Rabbit
No, I havenβt. Different author but I loved Pat Barkerβs Troy books and so am thinking Iβll dig this too. Have you read it @rowanambrose.bsky.social
Basenotes forever! Oldie but bestie
Thatβs where they like to be best, in the dark π
Oooooooooh π¦π
My hands sometimes pick my perfumes without thought, but my brain labours over my next read. Which would you pick?
Need to smell responsible today. Trying to decide between these two. How much thought goes into what perfume you pick for the day? Sometimes my hands make the choice over my brain βπΌπ§
Yeah, he is good! Fridaβs Thorns has my heart of the three High Standards thoβ¦
Blue sisters by coco mellors
Lβeau Papier by Diptyque and a watercolour doodle
Inspired to join by @scentiest.bsky.social and interested to post more stuff on the fly. Letβs see how this thing works. What I read, did and smelled.
Heyyyy! I sprayed Obvious Malfa Walls on my man yesterday which is a spicy, sweet oud, fruit and leather frag and also thought: oh, maybe itβs time for oud again! π
