You know what those April showers do? They make everything outside come alive!! Lawn all brown and shitty from being covered in snow? April showers turn it green! All of those bare trees in your yard? Those April showers get those buds a-poppin' and leaves a-leavin' (or something like that). Those April showers wake the groundhogs up to start eating all of your plants that are coming alive in your yard. Sometimes, you might even find yourself walking outside in various states of undress in a cool April rainstorm just to feel alive!
I think Alive is most definitely a Spring scent since it falls in line with u/mammothben and his own rationale for making the scent which was, "I made Alive as a way to work through my own process of emerging from the lockdown and pandemic disruptions, to find ways to be reborn, to reemerge celebrating the growth that often happens through death and dormancy." He uses words like "emerge" and "reborn" and "growth". Sounds friggin' Spring-like to me. And I'm pretty sure the Mammoth Mafia starts whipping out Alive en masse come Spring. Oh, and it has plant stem and white florals and wood and bergamot (which grows on trees) and...
As to the Daily Challenge...My wife has written an astrology blog for 25 years. As part of her blog, she has always provided the color of the day. Over the years, there are any number of people (not necessarily me) who can't get dressed in the morning without knowing the color of the day. When my wife was a DJ on an alt-rock station here for a number of years, she would broadcast the doings of the zodiac and the color of the day to thousands of listeners. And they were thankful they knew how to dress themselves. I checked my wife's blog and today's color is apparently orange. As a diehard University of Miami fan, you know what color pairs awesomely with orange? Green (I had to get to my SOTD somehow). I think I did a fair job of color coordinating. I do appreciate how the labelling on the razor meshes with the color of of the splash. If only MOAR BOAR was a little more forest-y green, this picture would be perfect.
Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
