Sorry APJ,
I was supposed to come home and finish a post but my mate Rose came to trivia tonight. Afterwards we came home and were eating the delicious biscuits made by my mate Nikki at the Post Office and left in my PO Box. We also had some Aftelier Rose & Ginger Oolong Tea. If you haven’t tried Mandy’s teas then you NEED TO, immediately.
Anyway we basically chattered away three hours and I was an excellent catch up.
We also sniffed some fragrance. Rose fell in love with Don`t Get Me Wrong Baby by ELdO. I have the new and old bottles so I gifted her the original.
Don’t Get Me Wrong Baby by Etat Libre d’Orange
Fragrantica gives these featured accords:
Orange blossom, lily-of-the-valley, patchouli, jasmine, aldehydes, amber, cacao pod, marshmallow, musk
It smelled wonderful on her, what else could I do?
Then we wandered up to the station and now she’s gone.
So I really don’t have a post for you and I’m sorry for that. Sometimes you have to live a little and let everything else go hang.

Portia dear,
This was a wonderful post. The natural counterpart to your also wonderful scent diaries. Sometimes life is a movie, sometimes it is a snapshot.
Live a little!

Portia, seeing Rose’s cute expression with the cookies is a gift you shared. And you gave her a bottle of perfume. I think that says it all. Xx
