June 11, 2024 – LG24 Day 11 - April Showers Bring May Flowers
Daily Theme & Relevant Post/Frag: Last games, seasonal scents were my kryptonite. I'm sure I was DQ'd on at least two of the four. My brain does not associate scents with the seasons. This is a byproduct of spending multiple decades in either extreme cold environments (Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland) or in extreme hot environments (Persian Gulf, Southeast Asia, Philippines). At this point F'n Cold and F'n Hot are the way my brain sees the seasons. To compensate for my lack of scent awareness I tried something different, I read the frickin' theme description instructions! I searched the vendor pages of all of my soaps looking for the key phrase "spring" and discovered on the first line of Fougère Nemeta's product page that it "is a Spring fragrance created for Southern Witchcrafts by award-winning perfumer Shawn Maher." Jackpot!
Finding a relevant post was a pretty simple affair since I have the Fougère Nemeta splash, but it did take some effort finding a relevant frag. I have plenty of fougère frags that I like to pair with Fougère Nemeta, but none of their bottles fit the color theme I was seeking for today's special challenge. When looking for some frags for my wife, I lucked upon the 019 Libre frag (a Yves Saint Laurent Libre dup) which fit my color theme and is a modern fougère to boot! Libre is marketed as a woman's scent, but who cares. Its floral and citrus main accords nicely compliment Fougère Nemeta's "luscious greens accompanied by blossoming florals and crisp fruit accords." Game, set, match!
Daily Challenge: Southern Witchcrafts special edition soaps typically have a cream-colored stone background image. This was the thematic color I used to link today's shaving wares. Since the frag bottle had a bit of silver and the brush had a bit of bronze which was not represented in the soap and post labels, I added the MM24 to help link everything together. Here are the results.
