...Another day with Bleu de Chanel EDT here.

...Happy Friday everyone! :D

...My personal favorite is about as classic as you can get. I always have a bottle of this at my bathroom sink for myself and guests.

...It's been over a year since my original list, and I think I would swap a couple of mine out for:Bleu de ChanelValentino Uomo

...Wearing this today so I can review (I am trying to get a lot of the bargain bin stuff documented and reviewed. It's meh, okay, not terrible, not great.

...

...Triffid:I'm glad, Apicius. This was a request that was out of my league and the suggestions were most helpful. I always like to hear back from the original poster to find out what fragrance they ended up with.I am always glad to hear back from the original poster as well. It's very satisfying seeing someone find something they love (for them or someone else), and it shows how well this fragrance consulting board works.

...I am happy (and relieved) that, despite the black ice warnings, I made it into work with no issues at all.

...Digindirt:I have been adding a massive amount of donations to my raffle topic.I have been trying to keep my stress level down as I don not have every single thing on Little Dig's Christmas list yet.I have been luxuriating in a hoard of spa day gifts from various members across the globe.I have been packing shoe boxes full of stocking stuffers for a few people who need them.I have been working a lot of hours for the last several weeks and wondering is retirement real or is it something fabricated that people of a certain age came up with to trick us into thinking we have something to look forward to.Wow...just reading your post made me want to rest. That's a full plate.I have been tying up loose ends at work, and doing prep at home for my trip to see the family this weekend.

...I am happy that my work day is over the halfway point! :D

...I am happy that I only have four days before I get to spend 12 days with my family. :)

...Online, it seems like the stress of the holidays is causing some short tempers at places I frequent. On one of the boards, we started a "good things" thread where we all post one event we are happy about that day. It seems to bust some stress and it's a chance for us all to be supportive of one another.My happy today is very simple. Waking up and sipping on a hot, fresh-pressed cup of coffee.

...*sigh*Ugh.

...Perfumecrazy:I have been... celebrating my birthday with dinner at the Berlin Bistro. They reserved our usual table and gave me my sparkler-adorned dessert for free as a gift (in recognition of our habit of regularly scoffing German food in their restaurant - note to self, time to cut back on the Quarkkeulchen) :lol:Happy birthday! :)

...Yes...thank you very much! :D

...Cruella:The good bottles are like this http://www.robertpiguetparfums.com/ they are all black, some of the low quality piguets from the previous company were also black but the label was different, so don't get confused.I bought one of the good bottles for my mother. I agree...it is beautiful stuff once again. :)

...I have been doing some "gender bending" fragrance wise here lately. Decided I didn't want to restrict myself to masculines, so I bought Azuree, Cabochard, Eden, Kenzo Flower, and Cabaret for my collection. Love the Azuree, like the Cabochard, and we'll see on the others. :)

...Dolby:AmySourbutts:Designer Imposters and Electric Youth are questionable additions. +1, big time."Coco" and "Egoiste" by Chanel, "Fahrenheit" by Dior, "Cool Water" by Davidoff, "Paris" and "Kouros" by Yves Saint Laurent, to name but a few on top of what's already been mentioned, would have been far more suitable additions to the list than those two obscure nonentities above.+2

...I will do that Cruella! :)

...Really good memories of my late Aunt Marie and Tabu. She was big, loud woman who bartended all of her adult life, and a total sweetie. She chain smoked Pall Mall unfiltered cigarettes, and practically bathed in Tabu back when it was a powerhouse. I miss her.An acquaintance from college ruined CK Obsession for me. She was nice, but had deplorable hygiene habits. She douse herself with Obsession in lieu of a shower and some deodorant. So, whenever she was around, you would get hit with a wall of Obsession and then her rancid sweat.
