The return of the gourmet and a great purification | November 16, 2025

Sure, you can use whatever scent you want at any time of the year, but does anything still happen when it’s frosty and sunny? *wraps me in a blanket and holds a cup of tea with both hands*

For a while now I have been leaving the sweetest scents untouched. But suddenly I was hungry!

Odor Odor Odor. I’m in a perfume fun!

A while ago I was invited to a Christmas party at the mother of sweet scents, Lush. There I smelled the Sticky Dates hair primer and couldn’t stop thinking about it. From what I understand, the original Super Milk has been going “viral” online for a while now. I had it a few years ago when it arrived and now feel completely done with it.

The new Sticky Dates not only provides a replenishing layer for winter-dry hair, but also has the scent of what it is based on: oats, coconut, almonds and date syrup. Plus sandalwood and benzoin resin. If I hadn’t read the notes I would have said butterscotch with a slightly malty feel. This morning it hit me hard too!

Ugh. Have I told you about Tonatto Ápeiron yet? I think so? I bought a carafe of it from FabLab a few months ago. Sprayed liberally and loved every second I wore it. Violets, powder, cool spices, patchouli, vanilla and incense surrounded me in a suitably intimate cloud. It has everything I love and is so incredibly well balanced. You know when you stop to feel what smells so good, is that you?

I went back to FabLab to reward myself with a bottle of Ápeiron after an exam, but then it was gone!

So I ordered via Tonatto’s website. In addition to a small bottle of Ápeiron, I bought their Warm Embrace sample set because I was also curious about Dama (it means powder in Italian). In connection with this, I discovered that in addition to perfume, they also have fragrance sticks for the home, body oil, lotion and perfume oils. A concept like that means something to me! I want to live a decadent life, as if I were an Egyptian princess bathing in expensive extracts. I can probably treat myself to a body oil when the next CSN comes in.

Can add that Dama is great too. A touch of powder and iris, also soft like Ápeiron, but overall a bit cooler and creamier.

Otherwise? I see some progress on my Njord hoodie! On 3.5 mm sticks it doesn’t go very fast, but still progress. The material is beautiful, two strands of alpaca that fall beautifully and shine.

There’s not much that motivates me to follow a particular diet, but every now and then good bacteria care to get out. I started last year with a kombucha that died when we left the house last winter with the varietal change. I missed it, so now I’ve started a new one. Just a few more weeks before I can do the first real brew!

I bought the beginning of Njordstorps website but remember the guide Ekombucha is the easiest to follow.

On my Instagram I showed the process of this scrub. Now it’s done and all the bedding, towels, perfumes, shoes and stationery have a specific place. For my brain, which works very much out of sight and out of mind, this is incredibly stress relieving. See everything and can organize easily.

Speaking of perfume storage, it’s time for a real cleaning, it seems 🙂 🙂 please help. Some should go straight to the landfill, but some should be donated and sold. If you are interested in purchasing, you can check out my stories on insta during the evening and there will be a sales thread there!

I’ll end with a cute cordless lamp I bought last time. You can’t have too little light, right?

What have you smelled lately? Hug
