Still mesmerized by how much ATP is trying to manipulate our perception of players’ heights in the Finals promotional photos/videos. I really don’t get why. It’s kind of vain and it feels like they are ashamed of having a 6’0” (183 cm) short king as their number one ranked player 🤷🏻♀️

Just to clarify: the show is called Robin Hood, not Gen Z Robin Hood 😅
Watched the first three episodes of Gen Z Robin Hood and the historical inaccuracies don’t bother me the least. The show is a CW-like teen drama with social critique. The normans vs saxons conflict is more of an allegory of our times (I guess Asterix did it first), yet quite naïve and unpretentious.

I don’t know why I got so invested in this Musetini’s quixotic quest

Put my hands (and nose) on Barénia Intense. It’s less tart & sparkling and wears closer to the skin than the original EDP. Otoh, I think it’s more polished and wearable (from the POV of someone like myself who prefers intimate projection and sillage). More thoughts on the following days. #perfumesky

What on earth is going on with this photo? It makes you believe that Alcaraz is almost the same height as Fritz and much taller than de Minaur. ATP deserves hell for this.
Damn! I don’t remember the last time if ever it’s come down this close to the wire (anyone know?) that we only have 6 in the photo

Can we blame on Kyrgios and Sabalenka’s agent(s) as well or they are above any kind of criticism?

It would’ve been cooler if they had used something of “The Dark Side of the Moon.” Maybe “A Great Gig in the Sky”

This account smells of elusive musk skin scents, buttery & earthy orris root, sharp & unapproachable greens, boredom disguised as mystery (not really), silly delusions, and bittersweet daydreams. #perfumesky

Saw @greytones.bsky.social version of this on threads and thought would bring over here:
This account smells of orange blossom and waterlilies, terrible procrastination, an occasional crash out, a dash of Irish coffee, a smattering of filthy thoughts and a pinch of ginger and lemongrass.

#SOTD Bosca Vanilla Forte gives a marine twist to two famous Guerlain staples, bergamot and vanilla. Very clever! But also wearable and captivating. BVF opens with an Earl Grey-like bergamot on top of a sweet, yet green vanilla. The sea accord (jasmine tea) appears in the first minutes. #perfumesky

Sky-high expectations for the Navone-Barrena match in Lima Challenger quarterfinals later today. Too bad it isn’t on a weekend.

#SOTD Coco Noir blends fruitchouli and abstract aldehydic florals (aldehydes, rose, jasmine) making these two personalities coexist throughout without overwhelming each other. Patchouli confers warmth and depth, but the fragrance doesn’t actually feel “noir” as the name suggests. #fragrancesky

Rio can be “upgraded” to Challenger 125
If the new Saudi Master 1000 will be in February, one of these tournament will have to be moved:
2nd week: ATP 500 Rotterdam
3rd week: ATP 500 Doha and ATP 500 Rio de Janeiro
4th week: ATP 500 Dubai and ATP 500 Acapulco.
My guess: Rotterdam will be later in the year. Rio will be killed.

I’m among those who didn’t hate Lost’s final season and even liked it when it first aired and, looking back, subverting the rules by completely messing up with characters’ contexts in the flash sideways while keeping their identities and core motivations intact was actually an wonderful concept.

If the FFT doesn’t give Grandparino a Paris Masters wild card, I will riot. In theory, it should be Bonzi, Rinder, him and Atmane, but they already did Grandpa dirty by not respecting his ranking when awarding the RG wild cards.

#SOTD Tihota. Vegetal vanilla and all shades of sugarcane. It goes from rum (or maybe it’s cachaça) to sugarcane juice to molasses & brown sugar. It’s amazing how much it conveys sugarcane’s green and aromatic facets. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Finally watched last season’s finale and I’m so glad to have saved that joyful delight for later. That silly show makes murder a creative affair. Dried ramen, really?
Elsbeth is back! Remember that I still haven’t watched season 2 finale.

#SOTD Fève Gourmande creates the smell and dusty texture of cocoa powder. Rum and spices make it comfortably boozy, while bitter green tea and a discreet yet very present rose tame the decadence. Performance and longevity are poor and the lovely boozy cocoa impression transient. #Perfumesky

#SOTD Back to Barénia. Tart, slightly soapy, and definitely woody. The leather is subtle and needs some effort to be detected and, in the best days, remains with the patchouli-like woods in the drydown. In my interpretation, Barénia’s leather is the astringent fruit peel. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#SOTD Angel Muse EDT starts with the promise of passion fruit mousse with chocolate ganache and delivers a compelling chocolate woody. The opening contrasts tartness with a deep and bitter chocolate texture, while the drydown is all vetiver and chocolate-patchouli (here akigalawood). #Perfumesky
