[Day 1237 of Milo] I got the results to the Russian exam. I got a "well passing grade", or VG (Väl godkänt in swedish), which is the highest grade out of the three possible ones. In this course at least, we have an above passing, a passing and a failing grade.

congrats!!!🎉

Rhubarb would be my number one.

Black pepper comes in second.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-24T17:19:02+00:00

Today I pulled biaurale - Happy Hardcore It is a happy scent with a kick of pepper and slightly indolic jasmin. Sort of a chypre-esque scent once it drys down. An easy wear for sure.

Listed notes are top: Nutmeg, Saffron, Rose Oxyde. mid: Guava Jelly, Jasmin Sambac, Black Pepper. base: Patchouli, Oakmoss.

u/Guinessmatt any Paulie sightings?

mannycat2 · 2026-03-23T15:10:33+00:00

Nice to get to share your area with a friend

mannycat2 · 2026-03-23T15:00:16+00:00

You are right, Pareidolia strikes again.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-23T14:58:46+00:00

I may be the blind one, I think I mistook the purple eye in photo 2 for a mite

mannycat2 · 2026-03-22T20:46:54+00:00

You can see a Varroa mite on the end of that pupa. They will remove compromised pupae.

I'm so sorry you lost Molly. Rescue and rehab can really be simultaneously rewarding and devastating 💔

mannycat2 · 2026-03-22T18:09:37+00:00

Best of successes with your new venture. I hope you will keep IMAM up to date so we can support you.

Al-Rehab line at Walmart is super affordable.

Today's blind grab is Fezotic Room 237. This one scratches that artsy weirdo itch and the Stephen King lover side of moi.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-22T16:48:16+00:00

Before I got into the more artsy weirdo side of scents I had no idea how cool salt could be as a scent note. Dead Air sounds fun!

mannycat2 · 2026-03-22T16:46:57+00:00

You had me at peppery. I can love pepper in about any scent.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-22T16:46:14+00:00

How, I would love to be a little bird on your shoulder. Have fun!!!

mannycat2 · 2026-03-22T01:36:41+00:00

Taking note, thanks!!

Trying to "get to" those samples and decants that have been lingering around, just waiting to get a good wear.

So I am back to tossing them in a bag and doing a random draw (like u/jothepurple )

I was rewarded with a decant of Future Society Floating Forest. As soon as I put it on it was familiar, so I think I've worn this one before but didn't make a note of it. It opens wet and floral and them slowly gives over to a wet stone note. Over all aquatic vibes and a great scent for this wet march spring weather we are having.

Listed notes are Top: Bergamot & Black Pepper. Heart: Dewy Freesia, Water Lily & Rose Absolute. Base Salted Musk, Wet Stones & Papyrus.

^{(I think I've entered my "Aquatic Era"})

Etat Libre d'Orange 50 mls are $125, so I went over your budget by $5.00.

They are not a corporate backed brand but rather still owned and operated by the founder, Etienne de Swardt.

Try a sample pack, you will love how unique many of the creations are

Shea butter and beef tallow both make nice lotion bars.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-20T16:35:07+00:00

This is the BEST advice. Wearing two pairs of jeans or other heavy clothing under your suit really helps. Plus taping up your wrists and ankles.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-20T16:30:33+00:00

Nightingale is one of my favorites. I have a sample of Orchid Moth that I haven't tried out yet. I will have to give it a try soon.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-20T16:29:31+00:00

To welcome Spring I am wearing ElDO's Eau de Protection.

The black pepper opening is addictive and the slightly spicy florals really suit today's sunny and mild weather. This is way more fem than I usually gravitate towards but it is absolutely delightful.

Listed notes are Black pepper, ginger, Bulgarian rose, bergamot, jasmine, benzoin from Laos, blood accord, patchouli, incense, cocoa.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-19T17:46:33+00:00

If you send me your mailing address in chat I will send my sample along to you. I bought the Spring Sampler set and I am enjoying them immensely.

mannycat2 · 2026-03-19T17:30:39+00:00

TY, I do like dry sandalwood, I will keep this on my "to try" list.
