Monday round-up
Sep. 10th, 2012 09:55 pmI'm on my third perfume for today; all three were free imps from my BPAL order last winter. First I tried Les Bijoux, which lasted about a half-hour before I had to wash it off: It had a fruity tone about it that I just couldn't stand on me. So then I tried Wings of Azrael, which didn't smell fruity in the bottle and (reassuringly) didn't develop any fruitiness on my skin. That lasted about two hours before I washed it off. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't particularly interesting on me. The third was Seraphim, and I'm still wearing it now. It's very nice, like a leaner version of Crossroads. I think it's an incense note I'm picking up, and I like it. I don't know yet if I like it better than Crossroads, but I have a whole imp to make up my mind with.
From the BPAL site:
Les Bijoux:Skin musk and honey, blood-red rose, orange blossom, white peach, red apple, frankincense and myrrh (Peach *and* apple. No wonder I couldn't take it.)
Wings of Azrael:myrrh swirled with a bittersweet blend of violet, Lily of the Valley, juniper, cypess and cajeput
Seraphim:calla lily, wisteria, white sandalwood, Damascus rose and frankincense
Last night I had set my alarm for 5 am, my normal time to get up, and this morning I slept right through it. Given that it buzzes for an hour before giving up this is somewhat disturbing. I hope I don't do it again tomorrow: I have to go to work. I think I will be ok; my body is pretty good at getting up when it knows something really is happening. Still: weird.
Today I managed to get a load of laundry done, three sinks of dishes washed, and a letter written. I wanted to do more, but I still feel so sluggish. I am hoping a good night's sleep tonight will do the trick, because I have a lot of things to get done this week.
