It’s Springtime, everybody, aka Rawr Day. I was excited to go outside and take photos next to some dandelions, until I realized that dandelions are genuinely just a spring thing and they’re all gone. It’s interesting that so many of us flock to Rawr on this day every year, considering Noble Otter doesn’t explicitly market it as a spring scent. There’s just something about it, though, that screams “it’s spring!” Maybe the dandelion notes? It’s certainly grassy, but sweet, not dirty. The inspiration for this scent is childhood happiness, and it certainly hits the mark. So much so, that I felt the need to dickhole, something I don’t plan to do often this month. However, for my fragrance today, I wanted to step into summer a bit. Don’t worry, it’s still a relevant frag – lemon, grapefruit, mint, basil, and orange blossom all bring home the springiness of Rawr. However, Arance Mandarini also brings some complexity that Rawr lacks. It’s fresh, aromatic citrus all the way (so I guess not that complex), is bright without being sweet, and dries down into a pleasant, floral musk. Mediterranean without being aquatic, perfect for spring and summer alike. #FOF
For my photo/challenge today, I tried to feature green as much as I could, hitting several shades across the green spectrum, and the gold MM24 highlighting the foreground colors in Rawr. I hope everybody is able to embrace their inner child today.
