Guerlain Habit Rouge, Vetiver & L'Homme Ideal parfums review - Delphine Jelk; 2024

My review of the new parfum versions of Guerlain Habit Rouge, Vetiver and L'Homme Ideal

Why entice us with just one scent when three bottles lined up next to each other look so much better in a photo? Perhaps that’s what the Powers That Be at Guerlain were thinking when they decided it was time to increase their masculine range with a trio of ‘parfum’ versions of their most high-profile releases: the classic Vetiver and Habit Rouge, as well as the more recent L’Homme Ideal. I…

Unfortunately, my grandma is the only person irl who shares my love of the Beatles, so we had a movie night and watched a Hard Day's Night and it was a blast! Here are some of my thoughts and comments on the film and some of my favorite parts/quotes (sorry if it's out of order):

• the opening is obviously iconic, I love how George and Ringo fall and almost get fucking trampled and we aren't even a minute in yet

• also the way John just laughs at them took me tf out, I love it

• "he's very c l e a n"

• Paul's grandfather was fucking helarious

• my grandma was singing all of the songs so loudly that I couldn't hear any of them 💀

• "Tell me, how did you find America?" "Turn left to Greenland"

• "What do you call that hairstyle you are wearing?" "Arthur"

• the entire part where George is mistaken for a teen model had me cackling

• "do not breathe on me, Adrian"

• "grotty" should be used more

• I love how the manager was basically just like a babysitter trying to take care of four out of control children

• I did not appreciate the Ringo's nose slander, his nose is beautiful

• Ringo's wack ass dancing was so amusing to me

• "Do I snore, John?" "Yeah, you're a window-rattler, son."

• John randomly oinking like a pig caught me off guard tbh

• Ringo being protective of his drums is literally me with my guitar

• "Put yer tongue away, it looks disgustin hangin out, all pink and naked."

• all of the songs were bangers, ofc

• all of the John in the bath scenes give me pure serotonin, I love his goofy ass

• me and my grandma sang a duet of And I Love Her when it came on and it was so fun and sweet

• I'm so sad that they didn't add "You Can't Do That" into the film since it's my favorite song on the album

• since I watched Nowhere Boy directly before this and almost cried, this line tore out my heart

• the scenes of Ringo with the kid were so random but also so wholesome

• the whole mistaken identity scene with John and the lady had me laughing and blushing, oh my God

• since my grandma is a George girl, she was simping hardcore during his song, it was so cute

• she literally yelled "I've got dibs on George!"

• my grandma also doesn't laugh when she thinks stuff is funny for some reason, so it was basically just me cackling in the otherwise silent living room the whole time

• she kept looking over to me throughout the film and finally said, "man, you're all over John the whole movie, huh?" 😭

• please, she can't talk, this women literally ran up to the TV and touched George's face 🤣

• okay, I know I'm going to sound delusional as fuck but just hear me out-

During this exact particular scene:

I swear to God, for a second I thought I could smell John through the screen. So, the whole room just smelled like nothing basically, but when the camera was on John straight ahead in this scene after he's talking to the lady in the hall, my senses just exploded basically. I suddenly smelled strong tobacco and cigarette smoke, along with a clean sweet smell and citrus. It's like when someone walks by you with a lot of cologne or something and you are hit by it? It was like that with the sudden angle change when it went to this shot of John. It was the weirdest shit. I know it sounds dramatic and like I'm making it up, but weirdly enough it's happened to both me and another family member a few times with other movies, but idk why lol. Then when John went up the stairs it faded away and didn't come back. No one smokes in their house either and there was no smell like any of that in the room before, so it was really weird but also oddly comforting. Anyways, I'm probably just going insaine.

#the beatles #a hard day's night #john lennon #ringo starr #george harrison #paul mccartney #my commentary #first watch #i love them #i'm fucking obsessed #i'm delusional #*intensely inhales John's scent through the screen*

Everyone please drop words of endless praise and gratitude towards my gf in the replies, her attempts to troll me have led me to discovering my new favorite perfume and I once more owe her my life

#I've got so many samplers and she's been having fun choosing a new scent for me to try each day! but she also happens to be chaotic neutral #today's choice (cleopatra by tocca) had all the hallmarks of a scent that I would absolutely despise #musky (every musky perfume I've tried so far I've hated)! heavy grapefruit notes (I have a personal vendetta against grapefruit)! #I even brought a trusted backup to work expecting to wash today's choice off within the first hour #I'm. SERIOUSLY considering getting a full bottle. this shit smells delectable #the muskiness actually plays exceedingly well with the heavier notes of patchouli and blackcurrant #(and coincidentally every blackcurrant-adjacent perfume I've tried I've absolutely adored) #and the sweetness of the grapefruit is made lighter with potent but not overpowering green notes #and then the heart notes! juicy peach and gentle tuberose just - MMN #it smells like fresh-brewed green tea. I'm in tears I love it so much #which means she'll pull out all the stops trying to chose one I'll ACTUALLY hate for tomorrow. I love this woman #peaches screams into the void

Feels a lil stuck up to call myself a "big undertale account" but plenty did reblog my version where I just added a sc of your tags and say that you're based 👍😭 stay based forever op!!

Omg bitches love me for my insane ramblings and my tags that I send out into the world without a second thought like a baby bird

EDIT I DECIDED TO CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE POSTING THIS AND LITERALLY JUST NOTICED YOUVE MADE SOME OF MY FAVORITE UT FANART WTF thank you big Undertale account keep making me cry

#IM CRYINGGGGGG I love your art so much I didn’t realize it was you #no wonder this shit blew up #glad we agree on Flowey being the guy ever #it’s about how his appearance is so simple that it throws every player off the scent of this game being more than it is #more than it appears #bc he’s the first one you meet #and that reflects how he ends up being the most important character because you also wouldn’t expect that #it’s about how all Undertale routes are fundamentally about proving his kill or be killed philosophy right or wrong #it’s about when you prove him right he is killed because he didn’t kill you first #therefore solidifying his philosophy #and if you prove him wrong he refutes it altogether #‘don’t kill and don’t be killed okay’ #OUUUUGGGHHHH #he’s my favorite character #AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON ASRIEL OH BOYYYYYY #ask #Undertale #Flowey the flower #Flowey

realized moments ago that i'm almost out of my fragrance of choice (the pran fragrance!) and truly like. idk, adulthood is a series of letting yourself use up the things that make you feel good, huh?

#i bought another bottle on sale but idk i'm always just a bit surprised when i use something up until completion #it feels a bit like a milestone--like here's something you chose for yourself and stuck with #and wore every single day for months or years #i guess i just find myself throwing out a lot of half used makeup or creams that i got as gifts and didn't use a lot of #that it's really novel when I /do/ finish something that i chose for myself #yknow? #i felt the same way when i burned through my first candle last year--it was this overpriced giftshop one that i love the scent of #and i loved the scent of it to use it so much #and now as I see the wax of the candles i bought afterward get lower and lower #it feels like another testament to me loving something enough to use it often and regularly #anyway buying that fragrance was truly such a god tier move cause 1) it's so good and #2) it really lets me relate to how feral pat is about the way pran smells

i buy too much perfume already but woooow.......and of course i would discover this at the tail-end of summer....(not that i cant wear it in fall but. heat amplifying this would be ideal)

#if any of you have ever deep-dived demeter's fragrances you may know their mildew perfume was also trying to recreate the scent - #- of the first time you turn on the AC for the summer....and i found that so inspired and actually a lovely idea. but the reviews insist #demeter's mildew smells of thyme and rotten food....ive been too scared to waste money trying it myself. but seeing another brand #has attempted the same scent...albeit a cleaner version...i am so hype #tangentially i also just discovered jimmie rodger's 'the long hot summer' which would be a perfect song to listen to while applying this #and daydreaming afterwards of a summer romance.... #perfume

one realization i’ve had is that a lot of the models for masculinity and/or manhood that i kind of gravitated to when i was younger were not the most typically masculine. it’s weird having things in common with other transmascs but also very clearly going for different things. like i feel a kinship with you but sometimes i think we’re not quite the same. also been a reminder of like what kid me was actually going for when i dressed and acted The Way i Did in middle school

#persolaise perfumes singlehandedly saved me by looking and acting like he does #the first video of his that i watched he was reacting to this scent that’d been marketed with the phrase ‘’for real men’’ #he was like put off but trying to give it a chance #and he made this joke about having lost his real man card a long time ago or something #and i was like HAAAAA . love you #me.txt #anyway i was watching this trans guy podcast and they were like averagely masculine men and it was like #hm i think we have different priorities kind of. like i have a feeling we wouldn’t completely relate kfhdkfn #it wasn’t a feeling of exclusion just an awareness of difference #they were talking specifically about wanting to feel manly and like had mildly sort of touched on and laughed about that in sort of #an inside joke way. and i was like WOW i like would not care about that at all. like i don’t think i’ve ever worried much about manliness #passing certainly but not that as far as i can remember #and it took me back to being weirdly drawn to like. floop from spy kids and people like that and i was like hm. there’s something there #i say that and then dress the way i do in my selfies kdbsksh #for me it’s more of a mannerism and presentation thing than anything else i think #like persolaise truly was a reminder that like. oh yes i can speak and act like that and dress fun and still be a man #truly it’s just that i was drawn heavily towards queercoded male characters like i think that’s a lot of it #i guess i have worried about manliness in some ways but it’s never really been something i’ve aimed for #the closest thing would be like. gentlemanly fkdhdknd #or something along those lines #anyway some men just click for me in terms of people i can kind of reference myself to and it’s like #often a pleasant surprise when it happens #alan cumming and persolaise are very much on that list #another essay in the tags

really been loving a sample of this fragrance i got from alkemia lately, so much so that i'm debating buying the large bottle. it smells like a freshly cleaned barn, which isn't something i thought a perfumer would ever want to capture in a formula, but i'm happy they did because it takes me right back to my childhood. the only scents it's missing to be SPOT on for a barn is horse shit and musty old timber but neither of those would smell very enticing in a fragrance. as it is, it's a very clean, almost powdery smell that is completely reminiscent of saddle soap, with warm leathery and maybe even slight herbal undertones, likely due to the vetiver. i layer it with their leather layering note to REALLY smell like a stablehand, and i highly recommend the combination to anyone who wants to smell like they know a thing or two about horses👍🏼

#len speaks #i love collecting alkemia's scents they are sosososo creative and appropriately priced! #len talks fragrance #<- new tag for rambling aout the perfumes i collect! #the throw isn't very far but i wear perfumes for myself first and foremost so i don't rlly care #perfume #cologne #fragrance

Hermes Paddock, Crivelli Tubereuse Astrale, Ffern Spring 2024 and Eau D'Italie reviews - 2024

An Hermes that's taken us by surprise: Paddock, composed by Christine Nagel. Also reviewed: new releases from Crivelli and Ffern.

Despite the (extremely off-putting) technical glitches, I broadcast a few more reviews over on YouTube the other day, including one of an entirely unexpected Hermes exclusive called Paddock, composed by Christine Nagel. Other videos focused on Crivelli Tubereuse Astrale (Quentin Bisch), Ffern Spring 2024 (Elodie Durande) and the entire range from Eau D’Italie. Here are links to all the episodes,…

looking back on the first letter i ever sent to my boyfriend, just after we agreed to start dating :') <3

#thinking a lot about love letters because i keep reading random entries from kafka's letters to felice #a letter scented with my perfume / a lipstick marked postcard / a personalised mixtape / my first magen david necklace #he wasn't even my boyfriend yet but that clearly wasn't stopping me LMAO

Song said, "Your consort got your bed ready." Lifting his cup, Moon froze, self conscious. […] He realized he had no idea how to live with Jade inside a colony, and he kept running into subtleties of Raksuran behavior that he had no idea how to react to. He knew the others were staring at him, and made himself take a sip of tea as if nothing was wrong. Jade tilted her head to study Song thoughtfully. Song's eyes widened and she said, "I was just teasing!" (The Serpent Sea, p. 49)

There was something else he was reluctant to bring up, but he had to know about the awkward moment last night. "What did it mean when I made a bed for you?" This time Jade sounded more annoyed than amused. "It's an old custom. It means you want to sleep with me. Song was being a little idiot." "I do want to sleep with you," he pointed out, emphasizing it by nuzzling her collarbone. (p. 52)

ooooh jade DID U KNOW ur committed sexual partner wants 2 have sex with u?? tee hee hee

#moon and jade sleeping in a tree #F-U-C-K-I-N-G #first comes LOVE (extremely emotionally charged and intimate boning after big vulnerable reveal) #then comes MARRIAGE (putting ur lil marker in his scent so all the other ladies know he's taken) #then comes a baby in a BABY CARRIAGE (a clutch of approximately five teeny wingèd reptilian shapeshifting babies) #books of the raksura #my posts #it's like the third-party observer version of 'babe you had a crush on me? that's so embarrassing.' '...we're married'.

Mrs. Hepplewhite from the scent of water, incapable of shutting up or turning off her niceness but only because there’s this immense river of unprocessed pain underneath it all

#the scent of water #elizabeth goudge #I love that her husband has to go to prison and that’s how she gets him back #when Mary is so exhausted after their first interaction and she feels all the worse for it because Mrs. Hepplewhite is a darling

I love you leather I love you fur I love you sinew and bone and wool,

I love everything you're able to make with it, drums and flutes and tools and clothes and bags and toys and shoes and

#op #i love natural materials guys #i also just love how leather smells. one of my favorite smells fr #it has such a fresh slightly earthy/sweet scent #i hole to one day have a wardrobe that is (first hand) made of fully natural materials #both for myself and the earth. Cotton and linen and hemp for summer and wool and fur and leather for winter #if i can't get/afford custom I'm hoping I'll get skilled enough to make my own #I'm hoping for some sealskin gauntlets for the winter cause i heard those are uber warm. maybe I'll be able to order some from nunavut #honestly if i could I'd get all my winter gear from there. i heard it gets to -60 so like if anyone would have warm gear it'd be the #native groups there #i once went out in like -35 for a day and yikes my current gear is *not* made for that #also maybe like loosely woven/knitted wool in summer too maybe. will have to try it

Hey I know you asked for tma characters to assign perfumes/colognes to but can I ask for a recommendation for myself? I dont know much about them other than they smell pretty.

I dont like overly powerful scents so hopefully smth more subtle and floral? I dont really like anything like smoky or strongly scented like cinnamon and such

Thanks in advance if you choose to help 🙏

ooh yes I love giving scent recommendations!!

I personally am not the biggest floral person, but I definitely think I can find a few to recommend

for something clean/fresh: Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela (a soapy, clean floral with notes of bergamot, lavender, rose, coconut, and musk)

for something light and sweet: Velvet- by Commodity (a gentle rose with notes of almond, amber, and musk) (note: this is velvet personal! commodity has 3 versions of each scent, and they're all slightly different)

for something fruitier: Hue by Hayley Kiyoko (a fun, summery fruity-floral with notes of watermelon, blood orange, lychee, freesia, magnolia, peony, rose, musk, and cacao)

for something realistic: almost any floral scent by Alkemia (Alkemia's florals are OUTSTANDING--if you want something true to life, check out Alkemia! though I will warn you that a little goes a long way with their florals, they're pretty potent)

for something cheap and fun: Sparkling Hibiscus by Mix:Bar (a bright, sparkly floral that's nice and sweet without being overwhelming. has notes of hibiscus, champagne, bergamot, and musk) (honestly if you want something cheap to try out, Mix:Bar has a pretty good range of basic scents! they've got some other florals you might like)

for something beachy: Falling into the Sea by Imaginary Authors (a citrus-y floral with notes of lemon, grapefruit, lychee, sand, and bergamot)

I think that's my first round of suggestions for you. if you want to send me another ask telling me more about what scents you like (certain flowers or notes, other scented products you've enjoyed, etc.) I can try to give more personalized recommendations!

also, with the exception of "every floral from Alkemia," I've personally smelled each of these perfumes! if you want to give them a try, I highly recommend getting your hands on some samples! if you're not sure where/how, just message me and I should be able to help :)
