Hello APJ, Welcome to our small scale collaboration project. Old Herbaceous (OH) of Serenity Now Scents and Sensibilities and I will be doing a monthly post on different perfume notes. We are not perfumers but aficionados of fragrance. So lots of our information will come with links for further reading or text references. We are learning as you are learning, or refreshing.

Hey there APJ Crew,
Woo Hoo! A week away in Singapore Changi Airport and Koh Samui Thailand with Jin. Every day an adventure. Full of the fun and romance of international travel with this funster. It’s been so low tech that it’s Friday before I pull out the computer to get some work and blogging done. NAUGHTY!

Hey there APJ Crew,
Where the hell did January go? It’s just flown by. Finally back in drag this week. Wore a bunch of favourite fragrances, opened a new weekly event, hung a bit with Jin and our mates and generally had a pretty chill week. Biggest drama being out China & North Korea legs of the February trip cancelled because of coronavirus.

Hey there APJ Crew,
This week wizzed by in a cloud a fabulous fragrance. There were lunches, catch ups, quick trips away and a 50th birthday party.

Hi there y’all
Been an active couple of weeks here in the heart of the Austrian Salzkammergut. We are busy moving apartments. Amazing how much crap there is to throw away after living in one place for twenty-five years. Luckily we are only moving about 400 meters away, so we have been steadily taking the stuff that we want to keep and setting the place up. Once we have moved in we have two months to clear this place out. We are serial renters. Having chose to live an – uhm – rather wayward life up until our early thirties, we have never been a position to buy. We already own the home that my husband grew up in, as his parents put it into our names about fifteen years ago, so renting is just fine. His parents will continue to live in it until they turn their toes up. And when it is eventually properly ours we will not have to pay inheritance taxes or whatever. Planning ahead.

Hey there APJ Crew,
This week my girlfriend Miharu has been in town from Japan. We used to be buddies back in my showgirl days and it’s been nice to see her again. Loads of fun perfume choices and hanging out with Jin. Work was BUSY too.

Hey there APJ Crew,
So many perfumes I’ve not worn in ages. This warm weather has brought them all out to play. Saw some buddies, worked a bit, hung around with Jin. Lovely week Chez Portia .

Well hello APJ
I am roaming around Scotland as you read this, although I am sat here writing it a good week beforehand. It is gonna be the shortest post ever as I am up to my eyeballs in cookie dough, packing, decanting, and attempting an online checkin. altho I lived in England for some years I never made it up to Scotland. I have always wanted to go and we finally booked a week there. A couple of days in Edinburgh and the we will head up to Fort William and see that happens along the way. What scents am I taking?

Hey there APJ! How is everyone doing?
Summer is my absolute favorite season. The long bright sunny days full of warmth hitting every pore of my body make my heart pulsate with pure joy. Barefoot feet, leisurely days by the pool side, lazy mornings sleeping in and days where I can decide on a whim or fancy what to do take years of stress and weight off of my shoulders. This is cherished time with my son who enjoys summer as much as or if not more than I do.
