Back to the No 5 EDT. Boring I am, I admit it.
But I'm waiting for another vintage in the mail. (NOT No 5 this time)
I'll let you guys know if it was boom or bust, after I get it.
(there, that should keep the suspense up for a few days.)
In a very VERY unopened outer box.
Well, I got it. I hope you guys won't be disappointed that it is a 1/2 oz of vintage Arpege.
The inner box and bottle were pristine, and from 1/17/1965, if one is to believe the little insert.
So, Arpege on one wrist against No 5 on the other.
As many have noted, like, yet unlike. The open is nearly identical, and then the changes. I can't put descriptors to it. I like it, especially the very end of the drydown, but not quite as much as No 5. Not yet anyway. But I'm definitely glad I got it.
And now, I must STOP with the perfume expenditures for a while because.........(drumroll please.......)
I'm getting a new kitty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whaaat??? Oh emmm geeee YAY!!!!Details pretty please Karen!
So excited and happy for you and that will be one lucky kitty for sure!!!
I'm thrilled! My husband is....resigned. But he'll get over it.
She's a close-to-retiring Birman show cat. I had a Birman many years ago - who lived to be 19, and I've always wanted another one. We've had...let's just say...issues, pertaining to getting another dog (a LONG story, for another day perhaps), but a cat has been negotiated. I took it and ran with it. Anyway, he loves Russian Blues while I love the Birman. I would not mind either, but I still love the fluffiness of the Birman.
Anyway, I knew I wanted an adult cat rather than a kitten and retired show cats are great because they've been socialized to a much higher degree than regular cats. I realize that adopting a rescue would be better in some regards, but cats can be much more problematic than rescue dogs, and I don't have the willingness or energy to do the intensive socialization of a kitten, or the rehabilitation of an adult cat who has had a rough life.
I probably won't get her until July, since the breeder thinks she might pregnant. The breeder is excited because this kitty has never had a litter, and she has some genetics that she is very eager to have in her lines. We'll know in a few weeks. Regardless of kittens, she will come to me spayed and ready for a forever home. She'll be nearly 3. And probably darker now, than when this picture was taken. Birmans continue to darken for about 2 years.
This isn't a threadjack. I bury my nose in my kitties' fur and paws all the time.And I realize this IS a threadjack. Sorry guys. At least kitty will get to come home to a human who smells AWESOME.
Especially since I won't bathe her a bunch. Some, but she'll have done her time being washed and fluffed. She's earned a respite from the show grind.
Don't even know what would feel appropriate.
Took a shower after going to the gym, so the Amouage Fate from this morning is gone now. Ugh don't even want to put on any scents, the weather is really annoying outside. Damn snowstorm.
