Enjoy the glory, and that beautiful Tanifuji!
After dousing myself with aftershave and EdT, I remembered I have a doctor's appointment midday today. That should be interesting. At least I didn't use Midnight Stag :)
Bold and glorious choice that I fully support.
Case in point: I'm currently traveling to a conference, and here's the full list of software I've packed
#GloriousStankTrinity
I think the EdT is so good it overcomes the polarizing aspect of the soap's scent. I'll be on a short trip starting Friday. Not sure what I'll take yet. Certainly the #GloriousStankTrinity is an option.
Did you get a bottle of 3 Scots?
No. An alternative to the Black Watch EdT didn't strike my fancy. I can't imagine that the BW EdT can be improved upon.
My thoughts went exactly the other way: Black Watch is wonderful, and 3 Scots was the result the same perfumer working in response to the same prompt, it must be great, too π
But that doesn't help with your Friday Frag Finding Fix
The poor Belgians! What have they done to you to deserve this π€£
I swear I smelled Tabac at Bruxelles-Midi, so I conclude that Belgians are a cultured bunch, and I immediately felt welcomed π
Unlike in Paris, which displayed a disturbing lack of Tabac today π
Recently, I keep running into people wearing Terre d'HermΓ¨s here (or maybe Stirling Arkadia? π€)
Oh, that's nice, too!
How did the doctor deal with the stank?
There were no comments one way or the other. I think thatβs a good outcome.
A testimony to the great professionalism of your doctor π
Agree. Either that, or their noses are already conditioned to much stronger and far worse odors :)
