#perfume sample "Un jour sans fin" by Maison Martine
Without reading the notes I smelled a toasty sweetness, a bit like warm pudding. It had moderate longevity. Yum

#Perfume house highlight - Maison Matine
maisonmatine.com/en/products/...

A french perfume house which is fairly unknown based on the small number of reviews. In a high end boutique they were the stand out house because of their fresh and fruity scents. I am very tempted to buy the discovery set.

I bought my husband a gift at this Lake Como (Italy) perfume house.
All the perfumes were nice and well blended even if not all to my taste.

A timely article after I watched the movie Exit 8, which brought back memories of getting lost in Shinjuku station
Shinjuku and Shibuya are considered the two most complex stations in Tokyo - and that's the opinion of the locals who use them every day. Shinjuku's underground is so hard to navigate that some have labeled it the "Dungeon Station."

Why'd they have to go and make things so complicated? A short history of how Shinjuku and Shibuya in Tokyo developed bad reputations.

Parton was famously not-political. It’s how she managed to be so political. She refused to become bogged down in terms or fights over identity politics, while she quietly got on with the work of makin...

It's Fun Fact Friday! Did you know that blue whales are the largest animal on Earth? Ever?! Measuring up to 30m (98 feet) and weighing up to 190 tons these boemeths are longer than two school buses parked back to back, and they weigh more than eight school buses!

Really interesting to read the history of yakitori and the different types

155 hours into Hello Kitty Island Adventure and I completed the 'main' story (achieved by 4% of players). I am really enjoying it though there's lots of gameplay tricks that are not explained.
My stationary is slowly being taken over with Sanrio characters.

Research on Gang Gang Cockatoos
we just published some new research!
Gang-gang cockatoos love living in urban Canberra, but they are very fussy about the hollows they select as nests.

Only a fraction of hollows are the right shape for these picky parrots!

Cafe Oud - Kayali layered with
Vietnamese coffee - d'Annann

Cafe Oud didn't have as much coffee scent as I wanted so the Vietnamese coffee perfume fixes that. It is a very realistic coffee bean scent

So much rage in such a tiny body. :o

Though Tiki is the killer of toes, Phoenix is the keeper of pure un-distilled sass and rage in this house.

Enjoy this superb parrot I saw, strutting its stuff. (That’s what it’s officially called, a superb parrot. Appropriate).

And a reminder to writers, artists, and everyone really to also strut your stuff. Go on, strut it!

I got a free sample in my latest #kbeauty order for Haruharu wonder black rice sunscreen. It was moisturising and silky without being greasy and I would buy a small bottle to keep in my handbag.

This physical exfoliant didn't irritate my skin or dry it out. Very good for sensitive skin. It contains nuts so no good for allergies

I prefer the Apricot blossom peeling gel from Beauty of Joseon so will keep using that.

I don't think companies realise how much I despise their clothes not having pockets. Numerous times in the past few weeks I have tried on clothes I have loved the colour, style, texture, everything - but because the pockets are fake I won't buy it. Pockets should always be for storage.

Centella ampoule - Skin 1004

Ampoule was hydrating and calming to my skin. It doesn't have a strong smell unlike the intense version. I have repurchased a larger size and decanted another toner into the 30ml one because I prefer the dropper.

#sotd Feve Gourmand - Guerlain

Layered with True vanilla cream by Library of Flowers

I have an online group to thank for the recommendation of Feve Gourmand. It is like Lindt chocolate, 80% dark. A win after 3 or so failed chocolate scents.

This was awesome. The caramel wasn't sickly sweet and the dry down was warming. Like a night version of Starlight by Xerjoff with the cardomom. I would get a larger decant of this.
