    Eau de Cologne

    Tonight it's Guerlain Eau de Cologne Impériale created in 1853. Basenotes said 1863, which is why it is out of order. This was allegedly created for Empress Eugénie. It's a wonderful fresh scent with essences of Bergamot, Neroli, and Petit Grain. I am virtually out, so I have ordered another...

    Eau de Cologne

    Tonight is Acqua di Genova Colonia by Acqua di Genova of 1853. This is not widely known, but was one of many Colognes with links to high society such as the House of Savoy and Napoleon III. It is a very nice scent with head notes of Lemon, Bergamot, Orange, and Neroli. And heart notes of...

    What are you eating tonight?

    Well I had this for lunch and will probably have another for supper. I didn't feal like doing lots of veggies, so in a barm. The cooking instructions for my Lamb shoulder were either over cautious or my oven time or temperature needs to he adjusted next time so that it is more medium than well...

    Eau de Cologne

    I may have also skipped 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser. They may have a establishment date of 1796. They have a dubious history and I am on the fence if I would buy it again. I bought a bottle in 2008 and was relatively indifferent to it.

    Sheepskin Slippers

    Well I have been wearing these since relocating. They look better than my former Crocs. There isn't much cushioning in the sole. Since I purchased these Morlands have closed down...

    Eau de Cologne

    The next traditional Eau de Cologne should be Caswell-Massey's Number Six of 1789 unfortunately I have never obtained it. So this evening will be Roger and Gallet's Jean Marie Farina Eau de Cologne Extra Vieille of 1806. This is wonderfully refreshing with essences of Lemon, Orange, Petit...

    Mental Health Awareness

    As posted previously, I have relocated and started a new role in the North East. I left my previous position as it was a toxic environment, the area was too expensive to live in. I didn't get the annual bonus that I was promised to make that relocation feasible. I was struggling financially. I...

    Clean razor and blade after each shave.

    I don't do anything to my razors. However, I do not store them in the bathroom. I keep them in the den instead.

    Tonight it's the DR Harris Traditional Cologne. This is very close to an Eau de Portugal. Notes of Sicilian Lemon, Bergamot, Neroli with the addition of Orange. I prefer this to the English Flannel Eau de Portugal...

    Eau de Portugal - Eau de Toilette

    Well finally it's the Penhaligon sophisticated Bergamot, Neroli and Lavender Douro. This is not a linear Orange Eau de Portugal. My favourite is GFT, followed by the DR Harris with Penhaligon's in third. Although pleasant it's not an Eau de Portugal...
