Crazy busy day trying to wrap things up for the week and had to go pick up a formerly broken jet last minute. Never going to complain about getting to fly but so far behind on work that only just now got to type up this morning SOTD.

Jermyn Street Collection is a “modern fresh fougère” and a pretty nice scent! I might think about buying this if this was in a better base. It might have something to do with this sample being crazy dried up, it almost was the consistency of a hard soap instead of a cream!

Varen Splash is strong strong oakmoss but I love it! I really want to get a tub but the wife scrunched up her nose at me today so probably won’t happen.

Dammusi may not be classified as a Fougère or even have the right scent notes but the “cool earthy stone” note that lingers is an incredible pairing with a Fougère. Moss thrives in those cool dark places and (MOIMO) this works nicely together. Also Dammusi slaps so never going to turn down the chance to use it!

My #photocontest theme of the day is mobile phones. Let my son pick out the “apps” to put on the phone we built. It’s a little rudimentary but with the imagination of a 3 year old you can see the inspiration!
