An accidental thrift find that I just couldn't resist.

Some of the community cats of Greenbelt.

The calico was supervising the gardener, who was cleaning and landscaping the area.

Went to Glorietta yesterday, and there were SMEs at Glorietta activity center. They have smooth ube halaya , halaya with tidbits, ube jam. Made from real ube.

Bought four tubs at 399 pesos each.

They are at the activity center till Sunday.

They have FB page with the same name, if you want more info.

I thought preggo sya, but I noticed may ear notch.

Chonky lang pala.

I’ve been accidentally hoarding a small fortune. My mom gave me a Fendi perfume in the late 90s, but it sat forgotten in my cabinet because it was too heavy for the PH weather. Today, while looking for vintage Boucheron on Etsy, I looked up the Fendi bottle and almost choked at the resale price. Looked up Valentino pour Homme next and was just as shocked.

The minis are samples when she bought a big bottle.

Gone are the days when minis were given for free.

Givenchy Organza is the ultimate expression of timeless glamour. I love that it skips the usual basic sugary trends of modern gourmands, opting instead for a rich, intoxicating nectar sweetness from honeysuckle, gardenia, and tuberose.

The dry down of warm nutmeg, vanilla, and amber gives it a regal, evening-gown aesthetic that is bold and completely unique in today's perfume landscape.

Its performance is truly elite, lasting up to 24 hours on my skin and lingering for days on my clothes.

This powerhouse scent is housed in a glamorous, sculptural bottle designed by Serge Mansau that mirrors the flowing folds of a classic Haute Couture gown.

Organza doesn't just smell good; it is a wearable work of art that commands respect.

•The Vibe: Opulent, voluptuous, regal, nostalgic, classic, and unapologetically feminine

•The Florals: Carnal tuberose, honeyed honeysuckle, creamy gardenia, and indolic jasmine.

•The Base & Spices: Dry nutmeg, warm walnut, cozy amber, and a deep, woody vanilla.

I've been on a bit of a nostalgia journey lately and managed to find a bottle of Poême.

​

I grew up around this fragrance because my mother wore it years ago, along with classics like Fendi, Diorissimo, Samsara, Organza, and Poison. Poême was one of those scents that stayed in my memory for decades.

​

When my bottle arrived, I compared it side-by-side with an older bottle from my collection. The newer version definitely seems a bit softer and less intense than what I remember, and apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so. I've since read a number of comments from longtime wearers saying the same thing.

​

What pleasantly surprised me, however, was discovering customer reviews on Lancôme's website and responses from their Consumer Care team confirming that Poême is still in production and remains part of their lineup.

In an era when so many classics disappear, I think that's worth celebrating.

​

Personally, I'd rather see brands continue supporting iconic fragrances with loyal followings than constantly launching new releases. Some fragrances spend decades building emotional connections with customers, and Poême seems to be one of those rare scents.

​

I'm aware that majority of the vintage perfumes was refurmulated, and not as lasting as the original juice, but I personally prefer the reformulated vintage. I've been trying those new frags and I find them.. wanting.

​

Givenchy Organza and Tatiana by Diane Von Furstenberg is OTW.

It may be reformulated also.

It's a men's perfume, but I really love this scent, not too masculine,can be a unisex perfume, and Cacharel pour L'Homme has a massive following of women who adore its unique, cozy warmth.

​

The heavy dose of nutmeg combined with clean lavender and smooth cedar creates a comforting, sophisticated aura that smells incredible on anyone. Many people find that its dry down feels like a high-end, unisex spiced wood scent rather than a typical harsh cologne.

​

I had a small bottle as sample, and used to wear this almost everyday

​

Sayang, it was discontinued.

​

I saw a listing in Amazon, but the seller doesn't ship to PH.
