Now reading: Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie

I usually try to read a different book between installments but in this case I had to keep going. This series is so good in ways I can't even explain

I want to be 1 Esk when I grow up. Also I kinda wish we had real AIs like in this series

Perfume sample for today: Philtre by Hiram Green

Wet it's white floral, green notes with an undercurrent of resin and a little spice

Dried down it's clove and amber, warm and spicy. It reminds me a bit of Slowdive. The resin base notes are similar

I will wear this again!

Timeline cleanse! Post a beautiful or adorable thing, please.
Landscape photo from the bank of a river in the evening. A gnarled tree leans over the water. The water is glassy and reflects blue and greens. The opposite bank has golden grass and green trees. It's very peaceful.

Today's perfume sample: Slowdive by Hiram Green

Initial response: oooooh *interesting* (sniffs more) good? Yes good

Fresh/wet it's...I don't know 😅 white florals, yes. But with a spicy or wood note? Subtle flowers.

Dried down it's warm, a little spicy, tiny bit powdery. I keep sniffing it

Back on my perfume sample bullshit:

Today's sample: Bohemian Lime by Goldfield & Banks Australia (free sample)

Opens very fresh and citrus, the citrus is definitely lime. Very quickly dries down to the woods: vetiver & sandalwood

This is the most masculine of my samples so far.

Random assortment of Palm Springs photos

It's gorgeous here. I'd love to come back, maybe in the winter when it's cooler
Mural that says Palm Springs in the style of the Hollywood sign, outside the Hyatt Tropicale, a restaurant that is pink stucco with teal lettering that looks extremely SoCal It was very hipster inside, but in a good way Statue garden outside the Palm Springs convention center. A metal abstract sculpture reflects the early morning light View from my hotel room, over the pool. Desert mountains look close enough to touch behind a golf course. The foreground is still in shade as the sun rises

Today's perfume sample: Moon Bloom by Hiram Green

I sprayed this one on and my immediate response was "oh yes!"

Fresh/wet it's almost my ideal fragrance. White florals, fresh, tropical.

We'll see how it dries down but I can't imagine not liking it. I thought I would like this one 🥰

Made "red chocolate chip cookies" with the lad

Which are just chocolate chip cookies with red food coloring 🤷‍♀️

He loved cake decorating & baking videos when he was younger and misunderstood a video with red velvet cookies. Thought they were red chocolate chip cookies.

I've been really enjoying the The Kingston Cycle trilogy by @clpolk.com

Currently on "Soulstar" which is book 3

Political drama, whodunnits, a secret society of witches, amazing characters, queer protags, social justice themes. Very engaging & brilliant

Semi-awkward angle but I can has rose chunks once again 💗

Today's perfume sample:

Yozu Fou by Parfum d'Empire

This one was a free sample selected by the Fumerie team. I assume because I asked for citrus

It opens quite sharp & green, citrus but spicy??

Dried down on me to very much woodsy /masculine scent

Which isn't bad! It's just very different
