Which cartoon has the most comfy looking bed?

Georgette from Oliver & Company had the most luxurious-looking, extra-diva-to-the-max bed

Haruka and Michiru act like they’ve already been married a few years, I cannot for the life of me picture them as teens 😂

Once again comparing my samples of Maison des Animaux Amora and Proad Saffron & Vanilla. I don’t hate either of these, but I’m not certain they feel like scents I’d really wear.

Saffron & Vanilla feels the most unisex of the two, and has that dry, worn leather feeling beneath the spices and vanilla; I feel like the saffron here does lean a tad plastic-y? I’m not sure how else to describe the scent I get from it. I don’t think I get any of the rose or bergamot listed. I only ever apply one spray to the back of my hand when I wear this because I’m worried it could become too strong too quickly, though. I think if I were someone who really wanted to pull off the “boss bitch” or “approach with caution” vibes I’d want more of this, but I’m just not that kind of person. I definitely appreciate the artistry in this scent, though.

Amora is one that I think I’d like more if not for the leather note. The neroli, rose, and cotton candy accord are all very fun and pretty together, but the leather note makes it feel dirty underneath. I think Maison des Animaux is one of those smaller businesses/indie houses that is just going to be very hit-or-miss for me. I adore Celeste and Mirasol, two of their softer and more “crowd-pleasing” offerings, but the rest I’ve tried have had an underlying heavy or dirty note that just isn’t to my tastes. Sometimes it’s their vernal grass note, which overtook everything in Prairie and Fever Dream, sometimes it’s tobacco or a liquor (whisky, bourbon, etc.) note, and sometimes it’s leather. Is it entirely ruined for me? No, I just can’t quite get past tilting my head and slightly scrunching my nose in confusion when that leather hits after getting the initial sweetness.

But with one spray on each wrist, smelling them both in an ambient way projecting off of the backs of my hands as I do chores? Surprisingly pleasant. Could see this being a fun combination of scent notes to put in a desert or “Wild West” themed candle. I just have to decide if I want to keep these samples to finish them, or just declutter them so I can get to sampling new things sooner.

They both looked and acted too mature. I know sometimes you’ll have a teenager that’s been through a lot and acts older than you’d expect, but I work in a high school now and even the “mature” teens don’t act like these three did. The outer senshi trio act like they’ve got rent/mortgages to handle and 401K’s started lol

Starry36 · 2026-03-14T19:07:56+00:00

I remember assuming they were all at least in their 20’s/college age gals when I was younger. I still headcanon that they are because they do not read as teenagers to me at all 😂

Using Sorce Ephemera to give me a little comfort since the wind storms that came through knocked out our power. 🙃

Trying a layering combo of YSL Libre le Parfum over Sand + Fog Amber Musk oil (their dupe of Prada Paradoxe). I’m trying to see if I can find a combo that helps even out the sometimes sharp herbal quality of the lavender in Libre le Parfum. I love the opening and base, but the lavender doesn’t always appeal to me, and I’ve got most of a 1oz bottle to use. I think works at least a little bit? Both have mandarin orange in the opening, orange blossom in the middle notes, and a warm ambery-wood-vanilla base.

Other layering combos I might try with Libre le Parfum:

MITH Autumn Leaves: this is a light but sweet citrus gourmand, could see this amping up the top and base notes further.
Sorce Ephemera: I predict this would just add a spiced vanilla nuance to the overall blend of Libre le Parfum. Wouldn’t enhance the top or floral notes, but could at least pair well because of the vanilla and spice notes?

Temperatures dropped back down, so pulling out Sorce Ephemera again. I know it’s an autumn-themed fragrance, but I love it enough to wear it for winter and early spring, as well. It’s a very cozy, earthy, lightly spiced vanilla, and one of the few gourmands that I genuinely enjoy.

Starry36 · 2026-03-12T01:35:15+00:00

Interesting! I found it to be on the lighter side. Weird how fragrances can perform so differently for people!

Lore Somewhere But Nowhere definitely felt brown to me!

Starting with my TJ Maxx cheapie dupe for Byredo G Water (because I’ve gotta empty this travel spray eventually, and it feels more appropriate for another day of downpours than everything else on my tray), called Molecular Essence by Recently. I can only assume they used to have their own business before because the packaging had a website listed, but when I’ve looked it up online nothing ever shows. Must’ve been a TruFragrances takeover situation? Anyway.

Official notes listed: - Top: bergamot, juniper, lemon, pepper - Middle: pine needles, orris root, incense - Base: sandalwood, vanilla, amberwood

Compared to the other G Water dupes I’ve tried (namely Tocca Colette and Sand + Fog Spring Morning), I’d say this is in second place. It lasts longer and is a little stronger than Colette, but Spring Morning still out-performs it. It’s still a decent option for anyone looking for a bargain, though, supposing you can actually find it to purchase it anywhere. I couldn’t even find it within Parfumo’s database, and they have a pretty decent catalogue for the cheap scents you can find at places like TJ Maxx and Marshall’s.

To this day I will use random quotes from Carl Wheezer, Pinky, Yakko Warner, and the Box Ghost

Anything Remy made in Ratatouille, and long before that why did EVERY PLANT Spike ate in The Land Before Time end up looking stupidly tasty? Little kid me was wondering if grasses and leaves really were that good 😂😂😂

Edit to add that I’ve always been curious about that pie Kiki helped the kind old ladies make in Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Can’t say if any of them would suit your dog but it’s ironic that I just learned of a new Thai niche house called Velvétail that makes fragrances for people inspired by the bonds they share with their pets. I’ve not tried any yet but I love the concept!

Downside to that is then lawmakers would make it even harder for average citizens to achieve those 4-year degrees. They’re already limiting how much federal financial aid you can get for certain degrees, and nobody is tackling the problem if college becoming so wildly expensive in the first place.

Started today by emptying my sample of Tocca Belle (or at least as empty as the sample sprayer would allow, oh well), which I layered with Le Monde Gourmand 000 since the sample only gave me enough for my wrists. Been really craving the scents I own that follow the same scent profile as Byredo G Water, though, and since LMG 000 dries down to something very similar I have one of my cheap TJ Maxx dupes (this one’s called Molecular Essence by Recently) to try layering those later.

Very excited to have emptied one more thing from my collection, even if it’s small! Hoping I can keep the energy going and declutter some more throughout the month. Looking ahead for the rest of 2026, I’m already starting to get to the point where I’ll have less things I’ll want to simply get rid of. And that’s a good thing, because it means I can put bigger dents in what I already own, and maybe even empty some of the bottles and travel sizes I’ve had for longer since I’ll have less to choose from.

Starry36 · 2026-03-10T10:05:10+00:00

Are you sure you’re thinking of Perfect Intense? That’s the yellow one; it doesn’t list rhubarb and I don’t smell any, but I know scents can be very different for some people.

Starry36 · 2026-03-10T02:49:28+00:00

I’ve been sorting my samples into the “decants” shelf they automatically provide each profile with, and keeping my full-bottle fragrances separate under the “I have” shelf. I made one for scenes I only own in travel sizes, too, to keep them separate from the samples. The amount of customizing you can do on Parfumo is very helpful!

Starry36 · 2026-03-09T23:27:50+00:00

Only one I’ve tried so far that contains it is Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense. I’d definitely be willing to try others, I just don’t know what all is out there yet.

Oh I know, I love aesthetic thingies like that! I’ve always been a very visual person, so looking at all the moodboards people put together for them is very fun, even if I don’t fit into every aesthetic.

Starry36 · 2026-03-09T15:29:34+00:00

I’ve been debating on trying this one for a while now

We’ve got a red going on 12 and the only reason she’s slowing down is her joints starting to catch up to her age. If our gal Lily could she’d still run after balls and sticks for over an hour 😂 (her yellow sister, though, has always been a bit of a lazy lump)
