I should have probably started the shower preemptively,  just in case. Suddenly my bathroom in the middle of sweltering Beijing  felt like a field in Provence: purple all the way to the horizon and hazy blue onwards, sun-drenched, with all the little herbal nuances, the hay, the warm, golden tobacco sweeping around me on an lazy evening breeze. As I inhaled, so grew...

for winter hmmm and maby for evening use. When got home from work and its time for cup of tea and sit down to breath *Smiles*. I consider this scent to be comforting kinda. And definitely Rubj Perfume is special, unique. I have not sniffed anything like it before.  Thanks Dear Chipsy for good trading and fast delivery. *Hugs...

I also visited LA for a few hours to see my family, and it was a joy to see them--I wish we could have stayed longer. On my last day, my sister had an earlier flight...

Holds warm and cold in the same hand.  Not many can do that.        Paco Rabanne La Nuit & Scherrer de Scherrer.  Big, badassed, old-school chypres.  You can get away with more in winter.      Lancome Sagamore.  Usually...
