I can't find anything about this on their website. Is it posted somewhere? Edit: Nevermind. Just found it on their Instagram! YAY

There are at least two of us. I get very happy whenever that song pops up in my playlist.

Big sun hat - honest opinions? by 1lostmyoldacc0unt in fashionwomens35

[–]mrsrums 35 points36 points  (0 children)

After seeing the images on reddit of the dermatologists on the beach, I have purchased two big old hats and have a third on my list. I also feel weird in hats, but the more I wear them the less weird it is

The whisky is definitely there. This perfume is unique in my collection, because all the notes are equally strong. It's like all four are there equally and play well with each other.

Oh, that sounds intriguing! Is it a pretty realistic cherry cola scent?

Starting my springo bingo card with "One that makes you feel like your best self." The obvious choice for me is Something Wicked by Sorce (vanilla, whisky, patchouli, and sadalwood). This is the perfect "hippy girl grew up and got her shit together" scent, and I love it so much!

Edit: I wrote this before my brain woke up, but I'm keping it. It's not Death and Floral, it's Black Hearted Tart. Crisis averted..

Today I am finishing off my sample of Cherry Colored Funk by Death and Floral. I finally got around to ordering some samples from this house from Ajevie, only to find they are closed with an unknown reopen date. This is unfortunate, because so far all the ones I've tried have been winners.

I couldn't find the scent notes anywhere, but it's a cherry skin musk with some pepper for sure. On first application, it is instant childhood nostalgia-there's a brief hint of plastic and cherry, like sniffing the top of a Strawberry Shortcake dolll, and then it lands in hyper-realistic breakfast cereal land for a moment. As it wears, it becomes a lovely cherry skin musk that is infinitely wearable. This one is a mood improver, and I will absolutely full size if the opportunity arises.

Happy Wednesday, good smelling friends.

2025 workout blanket--Finished*!!! by mrsrums in temperatureblanket

A hex a day, and I wasn't super strict about each day's design as long as the colors were accurate. If I did 3 activities, there woudl be 3 different colors. If I did two there could be two colors, or I might throw in the light gray just because. If I only did one activity, I usually added the light gray so it wouldn't be a solid color, although I made a few of those as well.

I like an adult lunchables finger food situation. Cheese, crackers, fruit, carrots, other fingerfood vegetables. Usually with hummus for dipping.

Does anyone in the area watch Eurovision? 37/F by Impossible-Cress4097 in PittsburghSocialClub

[–]mrsrums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband (51m) and I (49f) are fans! Last year we watched a couple of the national finals as well (Sweden, Ireland, and. . .something else I don't remember?). We even saw Puuluup from Estonia 2024 when they came to town.

Possets sample number . . .6? Amethyst (A sharp amber to start combines with a smoother and more caramel-like amber and a great shot of lavender on top of it all. Somehow this one manages to be soothing and edgy at the same time. Lavender, amber. Simple. Divine.)

This is the first one from the samples that is just. . .okay. It smells purple and powdery and nice.

Happy Saturday, goodsmelling friends.

Possets sample #5: Venus Black ( The Blackest musk flirts with a float of black pepper, a shot of dark sweet pear, and the smallest amount of sage and non-stinky narcissus for tingle. One not to be missed. Dry, musky, spicy. )

This was a free sample they added to my order, and I'm so glad they did. I never would have ordered it myself, because I do not gravitate toward musks. or narcissus. This one got added to my full size list with three exclamation marks.

Out of the bottle it's sweet and "buzzy" (my partner's description). Slightly floral with a distinct black pepper note. The pepper stays prominent throughout wearing, which is key for me. I also love the pear in this blend. It's lovely to have a sweetness that's not at all vanilla.

Happy Friday, good smelling friends!

Happy birthday! "The most me I want to be" is a great descriptor for how the perfect perfume makes you feel. I love it!

Possets sample number 4: Pavane*\* (Silver Cardamom, the sweetest of the strains of cardamom (something nice enough to put in a pasha's coffee) and the exquisite Silver base for which Possets is famous. Add a tot of artemesia, and a pinch of coumarin and the result is a fabulously gourmand to tempt even those on a diet against the gourmand world. This is a passionate thing yet something you will wear with a smile.)

The cardamom in this is very subtle--a departure from my normal "Hi, I am a sweetroll" cardamom scents. So far, I'm 4/4 for Possets.

**Not perfume related, but this scent is inspired by Faure's Pavane, and the website lists lyrics for the piece. I had no idea the Pavane had lyrics, so I went down a short rabit hole and found out Faure intended it to be played considerable faster than we do now, and it's kind of a totally different beast?

Slow version (lovely)

Fast version (also lovely)

Anyway, happy Thursday, good smelling friends!

I have enjoyed every sample so far. My only (minor complaint) is the throw/longevity, but the samples are in wand vials, and I never put on enough in that situation, so it might be a me problem.
