- The second update on my front patio garden. I garden specifically for hummingbirds and beneficial insects. I have native plants and cultivars for pollinators as well as some annuals. Black petunias are my favorite annual ever!
Those black magic patunias are beautiful.
Okay, I was going to go back and comment on one of the last two videos you made of you sitting in your garden, but I need to come back here and watch this soon. I've never seen a foam flower before, but it's one of the ones I wanted to ask about. I thought it might have been Aloysia virgata (I just call it Almond Verbena), which is native here in Texas and has this absolutely intoxicating scent of soft, floral marzipan. Bookmarking this to watch later!
About perfumes and such, the first scent I ever wore was "Beautiful" by Estee Lauder. I tried different ones in my twenties, mostly cheaper stuff or free samples. I wore more essential oils or solid perfume from witchy stores than notable perfumes. A friend gave me a bottle of Black Orchid; I adore it. It does well on me but I do know what you mean about perfumes mixing with scent. Have you heard of Demeter fragrances? You can find them at Smallfower Apothecary. I like Kitten Fur.
I found my husband a really old Austrian scent by Echt Kolnisch Wasser.
@@The_Witch_of_Noccalula I remember “Beautiful”. I used to smell it on women in my family growing up. A big, wonderful, heady indolic white floral that I can still remember over thirty years later. Estee Lauder made some real bangers back in the 80s and 90s that had eternal staying power and sillage. (Sort of like Clinique in that respect. In fact, I have a vintage bottle of Aromatics Elixir in my collection. A dank, earthly, floral patchouli - so wonderful.) And I know Demeter very well. I’ve even met Christopher Brosius (the founder and former owner) at a couple of fragrance-related events over the years. I used to go to the health food store with my mother and some of his first releases were my first olfactory memories. He made a soliflore based around just tomato leaf which is still one of the most photorealistic things I’ve ever smelled. But I don’t know Kitten Fur. If it smells anything like huffing my old kitty’s tummy, I’m sure it smells amazing. And about your husband: are you talking about 4711? My partner wears that. A great scent for the warmer months. My only regret is that it only lasts for about 15 minutes before it disappears into the ether. I don’t mean to ruin you for perfume but do check out Lucky Scent sometime. Luckyscent dot com. Thousands of niche perfume and they sell samples of everything they have in stock. I can get lost there. If you like florals like Beautiful, I recommend pretty much anything by Papillon Artisan Perfumes, especially Salome. I hope you’re having a lovely start of your week!
