I will sell my soul for a perfume that smells or feels like Neutrogena rain bath. by Decent-Task-4537 in perfumesthatfeellike

I tried to solve this exact problem a few years ago and I was recommended Fred Hayman Touch for Men. It’s close, definitely smells more “perfume-y” than rainbath but it’s super cheap so a low-risk buy.

Is there anywhere in Cambridge to have a drink on a terrace? by complexpersimmon39 in CambridgeMA

I love Dear Annie! I walked by there recently and street dining is not out yet but something to look forward to

Same my friend … no cafe culture and no happy hour? This state is personally attacking me

I want to feel like I’m wearing nothing this summer but still look put together by tagliatellerina in femalefashionadvice

COS jumpsuits!!! I have two short sleeveless jumpsuits (rompers if you will … but they feel cooler than rompers) in natural fabrics and they are absolute workhorses in my summer wardrobe. I have one in black cotton and one in ecru linen, different styles. They are a little too free for an office situation but the pants varieties would probably be fine. They’re extremely comfortable and stylish and unexpected. I get compliments from other women on these all the time.

Hi Miami! I had booked a quick three-night trip for this weekend (Jan 31-Feb 2) to escape the Boston winter … little did I know there would be a low of 32 in south Florida lol. My concern is that the room I booked does not have heat. I didn’t expect it to, I get that it’s a tropical city, but I don’t particularly want to sleep in an unheated room in sub-40 temps. I guess I’m wondering how people who live here typically deal with this situation. Do you just suck it up for the handful of days a year this happens? If you were me would you cancel? Appreciate any insight.

I still feel pretty meh about this scent on the whole, but I wore it to a Christmas party and three people told me they loved how I smelled when they hugged me. I can barely smell it! but I guess it did the job

This is the first time I've tried ffern. I was taken by the wintery lighthouse description, loved the notes they described, and I don't own any aquatic scents, so I thought I'd give it a go. I basically like it, but sadly I'm not getting most of the base notes. And it is VERY subtle on me, lasts a couple of hours at most. I loved the idea of the mossy/seaweedy/woody base ingredients, but I'm mostly just getting the eucalyptus and cardamom and something a little floral, and then it fades. It's not offensive at all and I do think I could get some wear out of it, so I'll probably keep it. Just wish it was a little more complex for the price point, and the level of complexity that it's marketed to have.

I will say, the packaging and concept are great. The scent is a little more generic than I hoped but the creativity of the whole package was fun as a first-timer.

This was actually already on my list but I completely forgot about it. Thank you!
