Two P's (Not Necessarily in a Pod)

So today I need your opinions.

First, I need some new perfume. For reference sake, let me share a little of my perfume-related history/preferences. For years now I have bounced back and forth between a few favorites: Clinque's Happy and Estee Lauder's Pleasures seem to tick most of my boxes when it comes to 1)Oh Goodness NOT TOO SWEET PLEASE, 2) a little citrus-y is wonderful (sometimes I am tempted to simply squirt myself with lemon juice), and 3) I like the smell of wood smoke.

Now according to The Chief I could just eat an orange while burning leaves and save a whole boatload of money. But really. You can't put that in a bottle and spritz it behind your ears while you're running out the door.

So what does he know?

I also just adore Jo Malone's Nectarine Blossom and Honey cologne, but I seem to attract bees and stinging wasps when I wear it. Still.  AWESOME FRAGRANCE.
Years ago I wore Tresor and felt very mysterious and adult-like, but now that I'm older the whole feeling adult-like thing is no longer a scent-related requirement.
I've already got that covered with the wrinkles.

So. I'm asking all you internets if you would do me the favor of tossing out some perfume/cologne suggestions now that you have a sense of what I might like.

Thank you.



Next. It's my duty as a citizen to announce to any of you that might be woefully uninformed that today, yes this very day,  is National Pie Day.

Ta. and. Da.

Yes it is. And in honor of this momentous occasion I feel like we all need to shout out our very favorite pie flavor.

I'll start.

Apple!

I know. How boring and mainstream could I be?

Maybe you're the exotic one, the wild one and will surprise everyone (!!) with your favorite.
I can't wait to hear.
