June 23, 2024 – LG24 Day 23 - Sweet Sunday
Daily Theme & Relevant Post/Frag: Fragrantica defines a gourmand smell as "...reminiscent of foody smells, specifically sweets and desserts...". Voices meets that criterion with mango, pandan, sticky rice, and coconut milk as part of its scent profile. Mango Pandan Sticky Rice is a variation of a traditional Southeast Asian dessert made with glutinous (sticky) rice, mango, pandan and coconut milk.
Today's post has scents when combined make another gourmand note. Rum, coffee and chocolate are key ingredients in many desserts, including Spanish Chocolate Cream and Chocolate Rum Coffee Mousse. For the frag, Polo Black features mango; and its main accords are tropical, fruity, and woody. The soap and the frag pair very well together, and the addition of the chocolaty post brings the sticky rice dessert scent to an elevated level.
Daily Challenge: As mentioned on Sunny Days, we are sharing a villa with 6 other soccer parents while in Bali supporting our kid's soccer team. Our villa has a common kitchen, so once again I needed to perform a clandestine shave to avoid having to explain to them what the Premier Internet Wet Shaving Competition is and why I'm participating. Luck was on my side because when I went to do my shave, all of the parents were either resting in their rooms or had left the villa to see the sights. I picked my shaving spot and built my lather. I lathered up and did my first pass, re-lathered, did my second pass and cleaned up. Once again no one in the villa noticed what I was doing. If I wasn't so old and fat, I might have had a future as a shaving ninja.
SOTD Pic Note: My SOTD picture was staged prior to flying out the Philippines to Bali. I brought with me samples/smushes/decants of all needed software for LG use during this trip. Here's a pic of today's wares taken just prior to shaving.
