I got very little accomplished today
It was a day for spending our accumulating pile of gift cards we've gotten over the last year since last December. Not particularly wanting to seriously shop at Penney's, Mike suggested I get some cologne. Smart man! *grins* As much as I love my custom rose scent, I'm a scent whore, and there are some commercial scents I have a lot that goes back years, I'm not fond of candy scents, or the modern very clean scents. I like strong scents, a lot of them, the scents my mother used to wear.
My favorite, Opium, was reformulated a few years ago, so the Opium knock off I can get at the same place that mixes my rose is closer to the original Opium scent then the new one, but I love the new one too. So that's what I got.
Other favorites- Chloe's Narcisse, L'Air Du Temps (old formula though, or a good knock off of the old formula),Guerlain's Shalimar and of course, always, Chanel No. 5. All classic floral blend scents. Mom's favorite perfume was Chloe's Narcisse when it came out, before that, she loved L'Air Du Temps. My grandmother wore mostly Estee Lauder's Youth Dew, but also had a lot of other fragrances she wore regularly too.
Coco Chanel suggested putting perfume everywhere you wanted to be kissed, which I don't quite do, but I do spray it directly on, and not just into the air then step into the scent. I want more then a light mist. Then I spray my hair, so it just takes tilting my head slightly to move my hair for me to smell it.
So.. I feel absolutely decadent, with my big bottle of Opium, but we did get in and out with that gift card pretty quickly.
Then we went to see Dad and W, and they were just heading up to the comic book store, so we followed them, and suggested after W got what he went for, that we go spend another of those cards at Bear Tooth Bar and Grill, and had a wonderful dinner finished with their creme brulee. More decadence.
So I didn't get much done today. I was too busy being spoiled. *grins*
