Vacuuming for the flea issue does lead to some glee when you see all the dead fleas in the water tank of the vacuum.

AUGH THE FLEAS THE WRETCHED FLEAS STARTED EARLY

(Also wow this year has been bad already, we haven't had a year this bad in A WHILE)

Imaginary Author's Slow Explosions

Notes: Saffron, Rose Absolute, Leather, Apple, Benzoin, Cashmeran, Arpora Night Market

WELP NOPE

This is a NOPE right out of the bottle onto the skin, wow. I have never been so grossed out by leather and the smell of cheap gin EVER in my life.

Edit: it has been described by Brent as "elder horse girl". Leather and gin and some sort of weird animal smell.

It's another Penhaligon today, Changing Constance.

Notes: Constance is what one might call A Very Modern Woman. She has no regard for custom, and does exactly as she likes. Cool cardamom, hot pimento, salted caramel - her contrary perfume breaks every rule. Key notes cardamom salted butter caramel tobacco

And at first sniff and on the skin, it's pretty nice. I like it. There's a faint whiff of alcohol on me, though, we'll see if that sticks.

edit: it's faded QUICKLY. that is the issue with sweet pastry smells on me, alas. it's still there in my nose but not anything else? but I'll get Brent to smell later.

here's a list of 100 books that were formative to me in some way, changed me in some way, etc etc

some books have aged better than others but are still there out of, y'know, honesty

i am probably forgetting so much shit from my childhood lol. alas i am not in front of my childhood bedroom bookshelf so i cannot stare at it to try and remember!

ANYWAY. how many books overlap OR (because this is more interesting than a number): any overlaps we share that are particularly exciting? any books you want to hear me ramble about?

Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy, scent notes of "incense, leather, and vetiver".

First whiff: that is some leather and incense. I can't identify the incense, but it's definitely there. Sort of reminds me of the leather gloves we had with the thurible at church, they had a sort of similar leather and incense smell.

I had to go look up what exactly vetiver was supposed to smell like and I got this: "deep, sweet, woody, smoky, earthy, amber and balsam" and that is exactly all the things I'm smelling under the leather.

I think I like this one. Shame it's so expensive. (I find it very funny that all the perfumes that are tentatively classified as "men's perfume" are the ones I like the best and smell best on me. Except the musks, those are tough.)

edit: oh now there's some weird musk smell, where did that come from???? this one might not stay. alas!
