Hey there APJ Crew,
The new year is here. Amusingly my week felt less hectic than normal, it wasn’t. Loads of scent, peeps, outings and Jin time made it a perfect storm.

Hey there APJ Crew,
This week has been a flurry of activity. So many wonderful people, faces, places and the obligatory Xmas shopping adventures. Fragrances have been running with and against the warm weather, loads of diversity. I’m going to need a holiday from my life pretty soon, a few days of forced calm.

Hey there APJ Crew,
What a week of fragrance! So much on my skin. Saw friends, finally saw Bohemian Rhapsody, fell off the food wagon a bit but did some exercise. Not low key but within limits.

Last week I got to do a Guest Post on A Bottled Rose about some favourite Autumn Fragrances. I forgot to tell you all. Please jump over and have a read.

Hey there APJ Crew,
Out and about a bit this week. Saw some buddies, ate, drank and got a little merry. Wore some bloody stellar fragrances too. A killer week of scent.

Hey there APJ Crew,
SO MUCH Fragrance this week. I feel like my mojo came back a bit. Having a week with only a few social engagements meant i had more time to spritz and sniff. Aside from everything you see here as my full body wear fragrances there was always something on the back of my left or right hand. Hella fragrant!

Hey there APJ Crew,
This week I finally hit the pause button. Literally spent two full days on the couch or in bed reading and watching TV. Yes there was plenty of excitement on the other days and I had to work both nights but it was blissful. Amazing how two days can recharge me, do you find that?

Hi there Scent Hounds,
It seems Sandalwood is the new fragrant Pink Pepper and Oud rolled into one. Now that the Australian Mysore and Australian Santalum spicatum are doing big business the base note favourite is back in vogue and there are some excellent new fragrances using them as the core story. Miller et Bertaux have jumped on board early, releasing their newest baby Indian Study / Santal +++ in 2017. Libertine Parfumerie is bringing it into Australia and I got a sneaky sniff at their Winter 2018 Showcase. Continue reading

Hey there APJ Crew,
Mardi Gras season is in full swing this week. I only attended a couple of events but my FaceBook feed is chock full of exciting moments happening across Sydney. There were also a bunch of fragrant adventures and LOADS of perfume was sniffed, spritzed, sampled and savoured. Friends old and new dropped in, Art happened, Roller Derby and a slew of other fun stuff.
