Today is Osmofolia 24 hour drive (Warm tonka bean, a suede jacket slung over the headrest, a half-rolled spliff spilled all over the backseat, a melted cone of cinnamon vanilla ice cream, and fleeting landscapes illuminated by the sun). This quickly became a favorite in my rotation this summer. It translates well for fall as well, it's spicy and cuddly suede.

Today (10/25), I'm trying a blend of Alkemia Vert sur le Vert and Rose Rouge. I feel pretty confident, at this point, in saying that Alkemia's rose note(s) fade really fast on me -- which is a shame because I really like Rose Rouge. I'm considering getting the alcohol-based EDP version to see if that has better lasting power on me. I really wish I could get a sample of it first, though.

10/26-Today is Solstice Scents Black Mallow (Bold notes of anise and licorice root, a touch of sweet fennel, fluffy marshmallow and vanilla. Simple, sweet, chewy and spicy.). This one starts off a bit strong with the licorice/anise. But it dries down into a beautiful spiced marshmallow. I picked this one up in swaps even though I've not a licorice fan, and I'm glad I did!
