Tried Lilyphea by Diptyque on skin today. It dries down to a beautiful fairylike musk. But the opening is probably still a bit too green for me to want it. But man the dry down is gorgeous

My dreams lately are so disturbing, I could write a collection of short horror stories about them. This evening’s was in the true crime genre with a lady serial killer (not me) I was more of a detective that went in alone type but I’m pretty sure I was one of the property brothers.

My kiddo is so overtired that she just spent ten minutes crying over a lost toy to only discover it had been in her hand the whole time. ☺️🙃

One of my colleagues applied for their real ID over 6 months ago, still hasn't got it. He also tried to get a passport but hasn't been able to book an appointment that didn't conflict with his work hours. This is another tax on poverty.

If you don't like seeing Ms. Rachel advocate for children who are being murdered, I would suggest not murdering children.

Ms. Rachel, the extremely popular children's YouTube host, is not an antisemite. She loves kids. She has dedicated her life to children. She doesn't like seeing children murdered, maimed, and starved in Gaza or anywhere else. Slandering her as an antisemite over that is pathetic.

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

The goal is for the store to become profitable without any government subsidy within three years.

I may have chosen violence with my SOTD but I was mostly going for comfort. Wearing Golden Hour by Voyager, a durian, mango that dries down to a gorgeous vanilla. I love the funk at the start but I guess it’s not for everyone.

There’s a hint of vintage, a whisper of a rumor of something dirty underneath all the clean musk. Maybe I’m imagining it but I think it keeps it interesting.
SOTN is Nuage de Coton by 100Bon. Pretty inexpensive ($65 for a 50ml) and just the loveliest musk, iris, and ambrette. It’s not too powdery and retains some of the purple in the scent but the big star is the ambrette. It’s really pillowy and delightful. I suspect I’ll wear it more at night.

Had an incredible time making perfume today with EPC. I made two travel sizes. The 1st was cardamom moss- 4 parts, Tonka sesame- 3, cedar absinthe-3. The 2nd was bergamot incense- 4, jasmine osmanthus- 2, sandalwood musk- 4. It’s amazing how powerful a jasmine scent can be. I got to name them too!

I wore a Dua of a discontinued Escada. The Dua is called crown twilight. It’s a mango fresh early oughts and it was lovely and cheering
I’m feeling in my feels today. I know part of it is not enough sleep and part is that I maybe gently bumped my car today (against an inanimate object; both the car and object are fine) but I want to snap out of it. So I’m thinking shower and dressing up and a new perfume. Suggestions welcome.
