SotD = Prada Amber EdP
Hi fragrant friends, I’ve missed you. You smell great!
Here in SoCal it’s so cold, this is a winter I won’t forget. True for many of us in the northern hemisphere. Last month my heating bill was triple the usual amount. Crazy natural gas prices! so I stopped using the furnace and switched to electric room heaters. Still feeling a bit of brrrrr, tho.
I’ve been wearing Golestan from my mini almost every day since I bought it. Even with my spare dabbing I’m making a dent in it. Go me.
Today I’m wearing Prada Amber, and I like it a lot. There is something about labdanum in perfume that always makes me waffle between yes and no, but this one works. The drydown is exquisite.
My neighborhood has the delightful tradition of putting boxes of unwanted items out to the curb for anyone to peruse. People share surplus avocados and citrus and other fruit from their trees, kids toys, books, clothes, household items, pretty much anything at all. After a few days the boxes go to charity or the landfill (sob!).
I don’t often look at the free boxes. I’m trying to have less stuff at this point in my life, not more. But I spied a bit of shiny glass and couldn’t resist. Scored the half-full Prada Amber bottle, plus an ancient teardrop-shaped dabber bottle of Halston Parfum, and a very old mini of Opium parfum. They were filthy with dust, but a quick scrub gave them new life. Heavenly.
And my pink jasmine vines decided to bloom yesterday. It feels like a miracle. I’m so very happy to have that sweet smell in my life again.
Stay warm and well, everybody. Hugs all around!
