Archive haul has arrived!

Archive haul has arrived!

Ahhhh, I’m so excited! I realllllly wanted the gold bottles. They had them for all 3 of my loves (FdP EDP, Orpheon EDP, and L’eau Papier) but since I JUST bought full bottles of the other two, I decided to only grab L’eau Papier for now.

My other exciting find was the travel sized assortment of EDPs. I am almost out of my FdP and Orpheon travel sizes and they didn’t carry them anymore when I went back to repurchase. WIN!

Lotion recs?

My mains that I rotate through depending on weather and feelings are Dedcool Xtra Milk, Glossier You Rêve, Liis Floating, Diptyque L’eau Papier, and Diptyque Fleur de Peau EDP.

Is there a lotion that would work as a base with these that isn’t unscented? I’m looking to extend longevity and make the musky drydown on all these stay around longer.

Currently, I’m blowing through my B&BW Book Loft body creams (but RIP, discontinued). Xtra Milk lotion is always sold out & the Diptyque lotions aren’t moisturizing enough to work for me in Colorado.

Help! (Please?) :)

Hair straighteners/curling irons on the Wish/Triton class

Helllloooo there. Has anyone found a brand of hair tools that work with the electrical setup on the Wish/Triton class ships? I have Bioionic tools & while they worked fine on all the other ships, they don’t heat up on the newer ships, regardless of which outlet is used.

We leave on the Destiny on Monday morning and I’m hoping to purchase tools that will heat up before then.

Has anyone had any luck?

Thank you :)

SAS Returns & Psychology

My brain is wild. I just did my returns for my giant online haul for the SAS online preview when the 20% coupon was still active. I went entirely too crazy and ordered like one of each type item from all the bring backs, just in case they sold out - spoiler alert: they didn’t. Not even close.

I returned 13 items and got $51 back. Instead of being satisfied, my brain went “Only $51? But that’s 13 items! What a good deal, I should keep them.” (Don’t worry; I didn’t. NOW I feel satisfied after the fact!) 🫠

Time for no buy until Halloween!

SAS In-store Round 2

I only went to one store today BUT I am very pleased with my haul. 🥰 I missed the Snowflakes & Cashmere candles online. I had it in my cart and by the time I checked out, it said it was out of stock.

I was SO HAPPY to see it in store today. It was the only one there tooooo!

Inner Angel, My Signature EDP, and the Vanilla Ease minis were all in the 75% off bins!

Destiny food favorites?

We are going on the Destiny in July and it’ll be our first time on this ship.

What are your must-have dishes/drinks?

We have been on the Treasure and Wish and I’m very excited about going to 1923 again, especially for one of the Green Circle Chicken dishes, which I did not expect to love so much - I’m usually a steak person on cruises.

Tell me everything :)

In-store SAS Haul

I blacked out and bought wayyyyy too much today. I visited all 3 of my local stores. The one I thought would have the most (the mall location) had nothing that wasn’t the same stuff everywhere else and online. No random 75% off stuff or $7.99 candles that were Christmas or Fall 😭

BUT I went to the two standalones and got some of what I was hoping for!

This is in addition to my online order of more Vanilla Ease, Rainkissed Leaves everything, and Black Amethyst everything and I DID land a Snowflakes & Cashmere candle somehow before they sold out. 😍

What I *really, really* wanted was Black Tie and Black Teakwood candles but they were already sold out before the “start time” of the preview sale release, which ended up being too late.

Diptyque Lilyphea

I just need to tell someone who will actually care. 🫠🤣

I got a decant of Lilyphea yesterday. I sprayed it on a paper strip and the opening smelled like straight lily pads in a pond (which I didn’t hate).

BUTTTTT the drydown was magical… and familiar. At first, I couldn’t put my finger on it. I sprayed it on my wrist too at this point. And thennnnn I finally figured it out.

The Healing Garden White Tea. Does anyone remember this stuff? I wore it when I was like 17 (2003/2004).

I was transported boiiiiiii. It smells like what I remember of this one. I’m a Lilyphea fangirl now too. As if it needed more.

Pairing antiperspirants?

Do you guys have any antiperspirants that you love the smell of? They make sooooooo many beautiful scents for deodorant but they’re all aluminum free and ya girl NEEDS antiperspirant.

If it helps, I usually wear Fleur de Peau, Orpheon, Balinese Coconut, Father Figure, and You Rêve.

Body cream / lotion + perfume pairing

I have recently become obsessed with Diptyque’s Orpheon and Fleur de Peau EDPs. I usually have an easy time pairing my perfumes with a B&BW lotion/cream, but these two are escaping me. I’m thinking one of the musks for FdP but not sure which one and I’m at a loss for Orpheon.

What do you guys think?

Doesn’t need to match exactly obviously, just whatever would complement it best.

An Ode to Diptyque

I am obsessed with Fleur de Peau EDP and Orpheon EDP. I tried both on in Nordstrom (one on each wrist) and knew I had to buy them. I literally texted my husband “We have a prooooblemmmmm” when I got to the car and couldn’t stop sniffing my wrists.

I got the travel set that has both (plus Do Son which I don’t like.

It finally arrived last night and I don’t know what is SO different about this house, but both of these just smell so *elevated* and different from anything I’ve smelled.

AND ITS NOT EVEN THE MOST EXPENSIVE HOUSE BY A LONGSHOT. I’ll take it. 😍😍😍😍

(I already have L’eau Papier too but it was specifically recommended when looking for a Book Loft type scent and I hadn’t explored the others!)

First empty bottle of the year

…and I just bought it the first week of April 😬

Xtra Milk is just sosososooso good. I wish it stuck around longer, but I spray it on my skin and my clothes when I’m first getting out of the shower and dressed and then once I do everything else and get ready to leave the house, I put my ACTUAL perfume for the day on. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This one doesn’t count as perfume. It’s just me. My smell.

Luckily, the new bottle arrived today just in time for the last spritz of this one after my shower.

My daughter’s (8 yrs old) opinion on Diptyque

I tried these both on paper as part of a mass sampling day at Nordstrom. A friend and I went prepared with pens and labeled everything and had a whole plan.

The two I ended up loving the most were both Diptyque somehow - FdP EDP & Orpheon EDP (the EDTs were both empty so I only got to try the EDPs).

I liked Orpheon slightly more but both were beautiful. My husband said he liked both also but preferred FdP.

Sooooooo I did what any responsible lady would do. I went back today with no perfume on and sprayed one on each wrist so I could see what they were like on my skin.

Well, on the drive home I could NOT stop sniffing my wrists. Both of ‘em. This time on my skin, I actually like FdP slightly more… and now my husband likes Orpheon more, so we flipped.

I immediately placed an order on the Diptyque site for the travel size trio that comes with both + Do Son. My first love is L’eau Papier and ironically, a 5ML of L’eau Papier ended up being the “free gift with first purchase” so scoreeeee. (Also it added 2 travel FdP items - one lotion and one body wash - plus two other fragrance samples I got to choose, as well.)

I’m feeling good and very excited that it’s a great deal at this point and I get to own both.

We picked our daughter up from school & for funsies, I decided to let her smell both on me and asked which she likes better.

Deadpan, she says “They both smell like old people. You aren’t going to wear either one.”

🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

Kids, man. I DO get a bit of powder/aldehydes from FdP but it still smells lovely to me. Orpheon - I can’t even fathom how she’s interpreting it.

I got news for ya’, girlfriend. 🤣

Collection + suggestions?

My post somehow glitched out and posted like 7 times earlier so I deleted them all to try again. Sorry! 🫠

I feel like I'm a bit all over the place with my collection over the years.

I put these in order of how often I wear them. Gucci Rush 2 was my signature scent for 20 years. That being discontinued (and eventually out of stock on FragranceNet/Jomashop) was the reason I embarked on my fragrance journey. Now, even though I found a bottle, it barely gets touched because I've found so many I love even more! Now it's just a nostalgic smell that I spritz on occasionally for a date night or something since I wore it the first 13 years of my marriage :)

Are there any others you think I would love?

(Note: I LOVE BR540, but it pulls the bandaid/latex gloves smell when it dries down on me, that's the only reason it's so low)

In order, these are:
Dedcool Xtra Milk (my daily that goes on right after I shower)
Phlur Father Figure
Glosser You Rêve
Mugler Angel EDT
Diptyque L'eau Papier
Burberry Goddess
LV Attrape-Rêves
Liquid Imaginaires Blanche Bête
Chanel Chance EDT
Byredo Bal d'Afrique Absolu
Byredo Bal d'Afrique EDP
Chloe EDT
Burberry Her
Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt
BDK Gris Charnel Extrait (although I love the EDP too)
YSL Black Opium Over Red
Lancome Tresor La Nuit
Kilian Princess
Glossier You Fleur
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia
V&R Flowerbomb Extreme
V&R Flowerbomb Midnight
Nest Indigo
Emporio Armani She
Gucci Rush 2
Chloe de Roses
BR540

Sephora fragrance bag

I try realllllly hard not to place Sephora orders unless there are fragrance samples as one of the offer codes and preferably ALSO when there are 2 perfume samples in the samples selection. I hit the jackpot last week when I went to order moisturizer and saw one of the codes was for a whole bag of samples. 🥰 Sharing the wealth. (Paper and one of the Beach Walks were the normal 2 samples, the rest were in the bag.)
