Hey there Posse! Remember the The Freezing Holiday Top 7? It’s great to back home again, even though holidays blow your mind there is very little so wonderful as cuddling up to your partner in your own bed. Having the dogs around, friends, kitchen, washing machine. All these simple things are just a few of the reasons why I come home.
Maybe you remember that I had a pre holiday competition going where the first person to guess my three holiday frags would win a sample of all seven of my Top 7. Here’s the thing, NONE OF YOU GUESSED!!!
Then, to make matters even more complicated I picked three frags and then left them on the desk. I know! Stupid Ass Hole! What were my 3? Geranium Pour Monsieur, Kashmir Spice, Midnight Oud
So here’s what I decided to do. I gave everyone a number and random.org picked a winner. The winner will get a sample of all 7 of the The Freezing Holiday Top 7 and P&H anywhere in the world. The winner is……..

You know we’re your people, when we’d probably all agree that it was better to overspray something strong on an airplane than go “naked.” I can’t believe no one guessed right! If I remember correctly, I had two out of three. Your description strongly hinted that Geranium pour Monsieur was one of the three, and I’m trying to figure out the odds of guessing the other two correctly. One in 6! (factorial)? That can’t be right. One in 36? Well, the important thing is that you had a great time, and that I won. xxx
HA HA HA! WINNER!!
Nice one.

welcome home!
Thanks einsof
Howdy, Portia! Glad you are home OK and settling in. Traveling is wonderful, but coming back home is always special. Still grinning over the Juliette Has a Gnu — perfume humor is the best.
That’s how you know we are Frag Nerds Ann, NO ONE else on the planet would find that funny at all.

I was giggling over that one as well… The image! 😀
You left what you wanted to take at home? I always seem to forget something whenever I go on a trip. What I’ve taken to doing, perfume wise, is that I always pack no. 5 in EDT form and a decant of Jicky in my carry on, so if I forget whatever other bottle, it’s okay I have something.
Yes, that’s why I always have a small selection of stuff in my carry on at any given time. Not because I forget stuff usually but because I like to have some choice while traveling to my destination.

Congratulations to LaurelS and oh, Portia! I sooo feeeeelyerPAIN! I do that constantly – but with prosaic crap like…”hey! I’mo go to the Bank. Hey! I am At the Bank. Hey! Where’s the freakin’ CHECK I was going to deposit. Oh. It’s still on my desk? Oh. Okay.”
Glad you’re home safe and sound, darling!!!

That’s the second time in as many days that someone’s mentioned Black Rosette. It’s stalking me. No. no nonono… my bank account is cowering already and I haven’t even sampled it.
And there you are with Juliet has a Gnu again… it just makes me smile, sweetie, so thanks for that.
Malsnano86,
Please send me your address and I’ll send you a smidge of Black Rosette.
I too get a thrill from Juliette Has A Gnu, and I wish more people had them than guns.
Portia xx
What a sweetie you are! Just now saw this – will send you an email via APJ.
So am I reading this correctly….you didn’t take ANY perfume with you?
I took some samples/decants & small stuff in my carry on Tiara,
There were two Mandy Aftel mini parfums, a 5ml Angel Men Leather, a 5ml Mohur Extrait and a 10ml Eau Absolue. These have been rolling around mycarry on for a while and THANK GOODNESS!
Though I didn’t have my glasses on and had a shower in the VERY posh Thai First Class Lounge in Bangkok and spritzed 3 blasts of Angel Men Leather thinking it was something else. OOOPS! We could still smell it upon landing in Vienna nearly a day later.

Whew! For a moment there I thought you were perfume-naked. Couldn’t imagine that! Surprised 3 spritzes of Angel Men didn’t get you thrown off your flight!
Yes, it probably would have if we were in the back, more room in the front.
I was a bit embarrassed by it though to be honest.
