Mostly perfume musings. Occasional random thoughts.
Question for the Shalimar experts: what is the difference between the Cologne and the Eau de Cologne? Thank you for any help with this curiosity!

This weekend is all about Eau Mohéli from Diptyque. Ylang ylang that leans more fresh and green than smooth and buttery. A punchy ginger peeking through blades of vetiver.

I got a perfume with datura recently (Ghost Deep Night) which sent me down the datura research rabbit hole where I learned that datura blooms in the Fibonacci sequence. Which sent me down a rabbit hole looking for a video. So cool youtu.be/-kfK5clC88I?...

Home from a week of Leigh Bowery exhibits, cat cafes, Italian pop concerts, people watching, miles and miles of walking, and lots of fabulous perfume sniffs in London. I will never tire of that city and all its wonders.

Three of the most exquisite scents I’ve ever smelled. L-R: Myosotis, Dentelle au Coeur, Rose Snow, all dipped into pure perfume bottles by an associate who couldn’t have been lovelier. And the best company in @loreleiking.bsky.social all afternoon. 🥰

SOTD is Ghost Deep Night - a whirlpool of moonflower and datura and peach - recommended to me by another pal who loves affordable gems, and this is most definitely one of them.

Sampled the Cloon Keen line today - now that was a wonderful experience.

SOTD is Stella Pop by Stella McCartney. Tuberose and sandalwood doing a little dance, not stepping on each other’s toes. Just a happy, pretty doll head of a scent.

Tested the Aphorismes perfume line by Dominique Ropion yesterday. Quite enjoyed My Clementine - a biting but fresh citrus-floral with a most excellent opening.

I’ve tested 36 perfumes since starting my vacation a little over 24 hours ago. 😬

Tested the revival Bienaime line yesterday. Beautiful, understated old Hollywood cosmetic glamour scents. Not a single dud in the collection.

SOTD: Belle de Grasse from Fragonard. A pillowy, fluffy, cloud of mimosa with just a bit of budding lilac. Springy goodness. 🤍

@filigreeandshadow.co I went to Waitrose yesterday as a flex

Sprayed myself liberally with Prada Infusion d’Iris at duty free before a long flight. It was a good, cocooning choice.

Congratulations @houseofmammoth.bsky.social !!!! This is, indeed, a very special and evocative scent. Well deserved!!
We can’t believe it. You & I (Will Die) was announced as a Finalist in the 2025 Art and Olfaction Awards, Artisan category, tonight in Los Angeles! Thank you to IAO for the honor!

You & I (Will Die) is an exploration of the fragile impermanence of humanity, an affirmation of life in light of death.

One spray of Soavissima from Profumum Roma is beyond strong My husband just said he can taste the perfume in the air.

My latest discovery is this Ropion creation - Peau de Soie from Starck. No notes listed. It is altogether fresh, fuzzy, musky, and floral - somewhat synthetic but in an interesting postmodern kinda way. Glad I picked this one up.
Peau de Soie by Starck
A perfume by Starck for women, released in 2016. The scent is floral-synthetic. It is being marketed by Perfumes y Diseño.

Today I am wearing and loving Benetton Hot. Zero perfume snobbery here. Never know what $9 treasures await our noses!

@witandwest.com we need to look for this AND the KFC perfume now! 😂
Does anyone still have their bottle of Pizza Hut cologne from 2013, which promised the wearer that they could smell like Pizza Hut?
