Question for the Shalimar experts: what is the difference between the Cologne and the Eau de Cologne? Thank you for any help with this curiosity!

This weekend is all about Eau Mohéli from Diptyque. Ylang ylang that leans more fresh and green than smooth and buttery. A punchy ginger peeking through blades of vetiver.

I got a perfume with datura recently (Ghost Deep Night) which sent me down the datura research rabbit hole where I learned that datura blooms in the Fibonacci sequence. Which sent me down a rabbit hole looking for a video. So cool youtu.be/-kfK5clC88I?...

Home from a week of Leigh Bowery exhibits, cat cafes, Italian pop concerts, people watching, miles and miles of walking, and lots of fabulous perfume sniffs in London. I will never tire of that city and all its wonders.

Three of the most exquisite scents I’ve ever smelled. L-R: Myosotis, Dentelle au Coeur, Rose Snow, all dipped into pure perfume bottles by an associate who couldn’t have been lovelier. And the best company in @loreleiking.bsky.social all afternoon. 🥰

SOTD is Ghost Deep Night - a whirlpool of moonflower and datura and peach - recommended to me by another pal who loves affordable gems, and this is most definitely one of them.

SOTD is Stella Pop by Stella McCartney. Tuberose and sandalwood doing a little dance, not stepping on each other’s toes. Just a happy, pretty doll head of a scent.

Tested the Aphorismes perfume line by Dominique Ropion yesterday. Quite enjoyed My Clementine - a biting but fresh citrus-floral with a most excellent opening.

SOTD: Belle de Grasse from Fragonard. A pillowy, fluffy, cloud of mimosa with just a bit of budding lilac. Springy goodness. 🤍

Sprayed myself liberally with Prada Infusion d’Iris at duty free before a long flight. It was a good, cocooning choice.

One spray of Soavissima from Profumum Roma is beyond strong My husband just said he can taste the perfume in the air.

My latest discovery is this Ropion creation - Peau de Soie from Starck. No notes listed. It is altogether fresh, fuzzy, musky, and floral - somewhat synthetic but in an interesting postmodern kinda way. Glad I picked this one up.

I keep seeing the fill line of my bottle of Bois Farine going down and it gives me the sads. I mean I have plenty left but I need this to just magically refill itself every time I wear it or something.

SOTD - Stumbled on this Duchafour hidden gem by sheer accident - a powdery, lemony floral - a well balanced composition of both tart and sweet. Lovely for spring!

As an example, this is the kind of perfume talk I want to read/watch/listen to. I love to learn about the smells but more than that, I love to learn about the role perfume plays in people’s lives.

This article is the best piece I’ve read in YEARS. I entered “fragcomm” for community around perfume as a serious hobby, minus any focus on elitism and commercialism. Brilliant, Pia, thank you for this!

SOTD - finishing up my sample of Ta’if by Ormonde Jayne. What a gorgeous rose. I like this much better than Arabesque.

Aw man I was excited to wear Britney’s Intimate Fantasy today for the first time in a while and it’s making me nauseous - it might be the cream I layered it with 🤢

SOTD is Au Dela - Narcisse from Fzotic. The green and yellow tones of the scent of narcissus, a mossy undercarriage, with warmth and softness for balance. An artistic nod to vintage chypres of days gone by. Gorgeous.

What chore do you least enjoy? Putting gas in my car is like pulling teeth. 5 minutes of pure hell (illogical)

My bottle of L’Ange Noir from Givenchy and I finally connected. The secret: exactly two sprays to reveal the powdery sesame-ness without overwhelm. Gorgeous.

I watched a video of someone making a loaf of bread so carefully and meticulously and it looked so good and then at the end the bread came out of the oven looking anemic and misshapen. 🙃

I remembered my perfume today and it’s a good one. Rihanna Rebelle. Spicy-sweet fruity floral with chocolate coffee undertones. LOVE.

Spritzed from a sample of Ecrin de Fumee from Serge Lutens tonight. It’s gloopy and it’s making me wheeze. Loved it on blotter, on my actual self it’s not working. Oh at all.
