Hi APJ,
A SOTD (Scent Of The Day) thread is a really good conversation generator. The idea is you’ll chime in through the week with whatever scent you are wearing. You don’t need to be super knowledgable, have high faluting tastes or be a published author to comment. Just tell us what fragrance you’re wearing, smelling, buying etc. and how it makes you feel and/or anything else about it that tickles your fancy.
You can also comment on everyone else choices too. It’s great to tell someone how much you love their choice, ask for more info about it, the house or perfumer. There’s someone here from around the world 24/7 and perfume people love to chat.
SOTD 11.11 – 17.11.2019
You probably won’t have time to write every scent, every spritz but whenever you feel the mood take you share your current spritz and a few things about it. Maybe you love/loathe it, want it, are excited by the notes/bottle/SA who sold it: WHATEVER! As always here at APJ, taking sides never means taking offence and everyone keeps it respectful and light, even though we can sometimes trawl the depths.
Hopefully you will come back and see if anyone has responded to your comment and you can reply to them.
Go To It Crew.

After a chat with the Cookie Queen this morning I sprayed my Rose et Cuir sample. I’m loathe to use it up, it’s so good.
The geranium works so well with the IBQ. It’s almost effervescent.

Haven’t worn much of anything in recent days but did find the new formulation of Yardley English Lavender soothing and not challenging. It’s more of a floral than a lavender soliflore ( as was the original) but it hums along in the background and was exactly what I needed.
Today was a holiday so my mom came to visit and took me shopping. While in Marshall’s she sprayed me with Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and it smelled so good on me that she bought me the 100 ml bottle. For $14 it’s just about free. I may wear it for a while so that I don’t have to think about what I am wearing. She also bought several really wonderful smelling soaps for the whole family.

We had 20cm of snow dumped on us last night. Not the wet stuff that melts right away either. It’s the crap that smirks at you and taunts you “I’ll still be here in May”. It’s -13C. Have I mentioned how much I despise winter? Here’s the problem. Hardly anyone has their winter tires on yet, me included. My appointment is on Friday. Yesterday and this morning cars were lined up in front of garages and tire centres at 5:00 am. It was impossible to get in. So…..I let Mr. LH install my winter tires last night. Now I’m half expecting them to go spinning off in all directions as soon as I hit the highway to go across the city. I’ve got a lot of sample choosing to complete for my third project and the deadline for delivery of the final design package is quickly approaching. I told my assistant to stay home as she didn’t have her tires on yet either. She drives in from one of the suburbs and it’s just too dangerous. The radio tells me that very few roads have been plowed yet 🙄. Shaping up to be a really shi$$y day folks. Hope your day is better!
