#SOTD is a copious dousing of Atelier Cologne Pomelo Paradis. I devoured my sample so I treated myself to a FB. I've been a real grapefruit junkie as of late & this one absolutely hits. Bright & sparkly citrus with a subtle vetiver base that does not overwhelm. #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

First balloon flowers since transplanting my mother's plants to my raised bed last year. Thankfully we don't have a deer issue, so these beauties should stay untouched. She would have loved that. #FlowerReport #7b 🌱

Finally potted up my passionflower vine cuttings that I had been rooting in water. These are second generation cuttings from the original plant. Feeling confident that at least one of these will take. Enjoy some extra bonus #BloomScrolling content from the yard with deets in ALT #FlowerReport #7b 🌱

Tonight's #manicure is all #Mooncat. I don't know why I'm attracted to watermelon nails. Was never much of a pink polish girl, but I've certainly amassed a lot of them! One of these days I'll oil my cuticles before posting, but today is not that day

First disocactus bloom of the year. I divided the plant at the end of last season, but so far this pot is the only one with active buds #FlowerReport #7b 🌱

#SOTD from my newest FragranceNet haul is Jil Sander Softly Eau de Pétales. Very similar to KA Indian Holi but more rose forward. Cherry blossom & mimosa become more prominent as the rose fades. The steamed rice note is soft & comforting. Really beautiful cheapie. #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

Tonight's #manicure is variations on a theme! Left hand is Mooncat Midnight Rider & Moonrise. Right hand is Holo Taco Pop Rocker & Going Solo. HT blue underglow is more understated despite how they look in the bottle. MC is much more vibrant. Very hard to capture the color shifts. #NailPolish

#SOTD sample edition is Frederic Malle En Passant. Very photorealistic lilac w/natural but persistent watery notes. I seem to have grown out of aquatics so this is ultimately a pass for me. No mistaking that it's beautifully done, though. Highland Lilac is my preference. #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

#SOTD is Solinotes Magnolia. A great discontinued cheapie that I actually get zero magnolia from. Feels closer to a mock-orange soliflore than anything. Bears some resemblance to Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia and Sonia Kashuk Pink Innocencia. #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

#SOTD is Costume National Scent. Bought a mini based on incomplete notes from the "other" place. Explains why it's so much spicier than I anticipated. Ambergris & leather are usually a no go but so far it's tolerable. Doesn't feel floral or fresh. Just dry woody/spicy #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

#SOTD is Pitbull Woman. A fruity/citrus amber that I can only describe as "early aughts clubbing amber" (IYKYK). Gives nostalgia for my college days even though it wasn't released then. I get a similar feel from Minajesty. B&BW Sunkissed Days feels like a dupe #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

#SOTD is Diptyque Eau Moheli. Absolutely boss for hot weather. The ylang here isn't bomby sweet & is tempered w/ very subtle spice. The vetiver takes on an almost incense vibe later on. I wear it so rarely but it always hits. FB worthy if I ever get through my roller decant #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

#SOTD evening edition is Jo Malone Basil & Neroli. My favorite neroli because it's fresh and crisp without being sharp or soapy. The basil is herbaceous and mildly sweet without the clove undertone. Feels like summer nights with a G&T on the patio under the string lights #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

Easter #SOTD is Vera Wang Sheer Veil. Has the OG VW DNA but stephanotis is the heavy hitter. There's an application sweet spot for this, otherwise it can be intense. My favorite part is when the initial soapy floral opening dies down and the soft spice starts to peek out. #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

Finally got these bearded iris to bloom after a 2 year hiatus in a very small planter. Having this large raised bed has given new life to my previously pot bound babies. I believe this is the Victoria Falls variety. #FlowerReport #7b 🌱

#SOTD courtesy of a recent swap is Zara Vetiver Pamplemousse. I was worried it would be like JM Grapefruit which is too masculine for me, but I'm pleased with how bright & sparkly this is. I still prefer Hermes Eau de PR, but for the price this can't be beat. #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

Finally painted my nails after a long growing out period. Celebrated my "length" by using some Mooncat thermals (for the "french mani effect") on my left hand, and Holo Taco Rock Candy crushed holos on my right. It has a lot of haters, but crushed holo is my favorite formula. #manicure #NailPolish

#SOTD is SJP Stash Unspoken. A warmer fruity floral that feels slightly more sophisticated due to the frankincense (which seems to be the Stash tie-in). Quince & peony most prominent until the warm, subtly spicy drydown. Wish this lasted longer, but can't beat the price #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

#SOTD as promised is 4711 Acqua Colonia Starfruit & White Flowers. This is gorgeous! Very realistic smelling florals that are leaning towards orange blossom w/natural citral-fruit backdrop. I knew I should have snagged a second bottle. I'm gonna burn through this! #FragranceSky #PerfumeSky

Fresh FragranceNet haul just arrived! Not even sure where to start! Leaning towards Starfruit & White Flowers since it's likely to be a quick fader. #PerfumeSky #FragranceSky

#SOTD is B&BW Pear Blossom EDT. Focuses on the flower rather than the fruit which I appreciate. Seems to have less of the "bug repellent" accord that the later Pear Blossom Air had. Light & fresh with the faintest natural sweetness. Really beautiful for Spring. #PerfumeSky #FragranceSky
