Bliase Zabini

Spicy florals or Clean Scents

Blaise I’m torn because I feel like he would appreciate the simple clean soap smell. Beautiful and unproblematic. But Blaise secretly loves that sexy drama so he would appreciate a sexier floral scent that still has an air of sophistication to it.

Expensive and Sexy

Tom wants you to smell luxe, expensive, and unquestionably perfect. Think hotel lobby or the world’s most expensive vanilla. He won’t take you seriously if you show up smelling like a piece of candy. He probably won’t take you seriously either way but at least your presence won’t be as much of a bother if you smell good.

Sugarbaby vibes ✨️

I walked out of the fitting room wearing the shit Chanel set. Let's be honest I looked to fucking die for, but once I saw the price it looked mid. Of course I wanted it and speaking of price it's Chanel what did I expect. If anything I suggested, let's go thrifting, as you can tell I didn't grow up with money. I'm still trying to get used to living this life now, it's crazy hoe just last week I was struggling to afford a pack of fucking Ramen at the convenience store and now I live in a penthouse. Your girl did, in fact, come up in life. You all better be proud. All thanks to the one and only Bada Lee.

Bada is about 28, and I'm 22, so there is a slight age gap if you care about any of that. Shit I didn't. I just needed someone to pay my bills. How we met it quite an interesting story if you think about it, I mean, I didn't sign up for a sugar mama like on the weird ass movies or stories you see on Wattpad. I was, in fact, working as a waiter in this high-end restaurant with might I add a shitty pay. Why are we serving all this expensive ass shit and in only getting made a few bucks in an hour? It's giving slavery, and not mentions my boss who, like most men, convince himself within the 3 minutes of hiring me that I was destined to be his furtre wife and the mother of his children as he call it. If you wanted to know what crazy looks like, we'll Mr. Kim is a prime example.

But we are getting of topic. See, I don't wanna tell you about my overly obsessive ass boss. I wanna tell you about the women who turned my life around. Serving tables is absolute shit, especially when no matter how rich one is, they never tip. "Hey Blue, bossman says he needs you at table six." I turned around to my partner in crime, Leslie. I'm happy to see her until I realized what she said, "I'm on break, though, like all these people around here . Can't he bother someone else." She gave me a sad smile and shrugged, "no, you know he likes to watch you suffer, because he expects after a while you will give in and let him take you out on a date." I stare at her with disgust.

"Yea, never mind your you're right. I'll take my chances with the wolves again. I'm just get going. If he asks again, make sure to tell him I chose getting screamed and yelled at my rich elderly woman over acknowledging his existence. " I hurried and jog off before she could say anything, grabbing my notepad and pen out of my pocket I had towards table six. With the biggest fake smile on. The love I have for these customers is crazy.

I stand there saying my usual line in the most chipper voice one can muster, whiteout even looking at the person sitting down in front of me. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I'm blue and very happy to serve you tonight. So what can I get, you folks?" I hear someone speak before muttering something about how I'm pretty, then I finally gather the courage to look up and see a group of women. All dressed to perfection, clothes tailored just to fit their figure. Those majority of them look around my age or slightly older. After a moment of being caught in a daze while overanlyzing them, I turn to her the tallest one of the bun speak up. "I would like to have a water to drink and just some shrimp pasta."

I make eye contact with her and my God. This is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen in my life. It almost feels like i should have to pay a fee to look upon her face. My stare moves down to her lips and not e how nice and pump they are. I would kill to suck on those lips, to feel what they tasted like even. I realize I've just been staring at her while the rest of the women have spoken uo about their order already. "Oo, I'm s-so sorry." I state being an absolute nervous wreck while looking down at my notepad. I hope she didn't notice that. "It's fine, sweetheart," I heard the girl that was referred to ad Lusher somewhere in the conversation state to me. I hurry up and excuse myself to go get their orders. She keeps staring at me, bitting the inner part of her check. Eventually, they leave after a while, leaving a $200 tip for me. I almost couldn't believe it. This I'd the first time someone has ever given me that much money as a tip.

After a while, the girl continues to come to our little restaurant. Same table, same confidence aura and everything. She makes it seem as if she is trying to just get something to eat. We continue to see each other even after work. She would pop in on my breaks, and around the time, I would clock out. She was intimidating. I'll get her that. I spoke with class, and her vibe just let you know she had money. And it seemed she had her eyes on a certain girl. Me. Though, after beating around the bush, Bada told me exactly what she wanted. "I want to take care of you. You'll never have to worry about a single thing when you're with me. Or lift a finger. Give you the life you deserve, baby. I mean, you are a cute little waitress, but you can be so much more. Why waste your time when you have me. Just say the words, and I'll take care of you."

Some might've immediately said yes, and to be honest, I would've to. Until Bada told me there were rules. Which did kinda throw me off a bit. I mean, I thought I had the whole idea down until well, I realized I didn't. It wasn't just about the money it was the pleasure. How much would she give me, and fuck did she give me a lot. Well lived by only a few rules, but Bada took them very seriously.

Rule 1: Don't question anything

Rule 2: Don't talk back

Rule 3: Don't touch yourself

You should've seen the look on my face when I heard the third rule, I mean, at the bright age of 22, who the hell doesn't masturbate. Literally made no sense to me until she tried to explain it further. "I give you pleasure. I'm the only one who should be touching you. I'm general baby. You belong entirely to me. That's how this works. Therefore, you shouldn't be doing anything without my permission cupcake." After finally going over the terms, I agreed in the end. At the end of the day, I was a broke college student who desperately needed the money, and Bada just so happens to be the sexy older one willing to give it to me. In a sense, I was happy with my current predicament. My life was going well. Now, back to what I was saying earlier.

I stared at myself in the mirror. Sometimes, I forget that I can look this good. "Yea, ayye, get it, girl." In the process of hyping myself up, I finally hear a voice speak up from behind me, scaring the absolute shit out of me. "I'm glad you like it, baby. It does look good on you, I told you I have an eye for beautiful things. I mean, just look at my baby girl." She says while holding on to my waist, kissing my neck slowly. I smile for a while until I realize what she is doing. "Baby, we are in public, a fitting room at that. We aren't doing that here," I say, trying to be firm while avoiding her glaze in the mirror.

"What did I tell you about saying no to me, huh? Do you make the rules?" She forcefully grabbed my chin when she caught on to the act. She grabs my breast while still making eye contact with me in the mirror. "That's right, just stand right here, ok? Gonna be my good girl, right?" I stare at the door, thinking about the people outside that will hear us. While I'm thinking about them, Bada moved the hand that was holding me under my top, slowly circling my right nipple. "Gonna be good, right?" She asks again,she never has enough patience to ask again. It seems she is being nice today. I nod my head at her question this time.

"Word babygirl, I need to hear you. Let them hear you. Just stop all that thinking for me." I whimper at her words. Finally, forgetting about the staff in the store. She moves her hand down my body, teasing me with her pace. "P-please, I'll be g-good. Gonna be so good for you." She smirks, looking down at my face before moving her hand towards my soaked pussy. "Always so f-fucking good for me, aren't you? My precious little baby. Just needs to be filled, like always." I look into her eyes in the mirror about to answer her before she insert a finger into me, all while still playing with my breasts. She knows my body like the back of her hand. Doesn't even have to try to find the spot.

"Yea, right there, come on. I can't hear you, baby girl." I know exactly the game she is playing at, but I can only stand there moaning like a bitch in heat being held on my weak jelly-like legs as she adds two more fingers. While she grinds her hips into me, fuck those bloody dancers and there hips. "Y-yes y-yes... shit o fuck right there". She just smiles at my reactions. Assuming to her if anything. "Were gonna buy this little outfit, then I'm gonna by 28 fucking more just to fuck the shit out of you in them. And you gonna let me, aren't you?. Gonna take it like a good girl who just needs her holes filled, right?" I shake my head, screaming yes over and over again while nodding profusely. Seems that's the only word my brain can come up with as she starts to suck down on my neck leaving marks while circling my clit with her thumbs. And she still continues to thrust those same three fingers in and out of me ob command.

"Fucked you dumb, aww that's adorable baby. But we just started, " She says while smirking, and I stare at her in a mix of fear and pleasure. "Now open those legs wider for me, baby girl."

Models Who Are Not Naturals (Kibbe)

We know that the modelling industry is dominated by FNs/Flamboyant Naturals since clothes are made for a rectangular frame and not customized to the curves and contours of a specific body. Models who are frame dominant are preferred because they can advertise the clothes as they are instead of having it tailored to fit them.But all of that aside, I thought it'll be interesting to find models who do not have a typical FN build.

Keep in mind that almost all the women mentioned below are over 5'7 and with Kibbe's height restrictions in mind, at that height, only a few IDs are possible (SD, D, FN). Since this is a post about models who aren't FN, this list will largely feature Ds & SDs.

For context, this is a typical FN build. Cindy Crawford is a verified FN. She has broad shoulders, a square torso and an overall athletic build. FNs are likely to have an inverted triangle like frame.

Adriana Lima, Dramatic

She's 178cm and thus has automatic vertical. Her overall body is very sharp and angular, she does not have an athletic build or physique. She's just long and sharp?? if that makes sense

2. Stephanie Seymour, SD

90s Victoria Secret models were often SDs, voluptuous and curvy and Stephanie is a great example of it. Its only in the 2000s & since that FNs began to dominate the modelling industry.

She has double curve and has a fleshy, curvy physique.

3. Miranda Kerr, Dramatic

Her physique is so similar to Adriana's. Very long torso's, sharp limbs and angular

4. Laetitia Casta- SD

Her bustline and hips are curved which is what is meant by double curve. So she looks softer and rounder. Her yang comes from her height

5. Tyra Banks- SD

6. Karen Mulder- D

Longer torso, longer overall body, very sharp and angular looking

7. Heidi Klum- Dramatic

8. Helena Christensen- SD

9. Ming Xi, D

10. Chanel Iman is a FN but I'm including her anyway because she can easily be mistyped as an SD or something

11. Irina Shayk, Dramatic

12. Eva Herzigova, SD

13. Rania Benchegra, SD

14. Kaia Gerber, FN (i know she seems like a Dramatic but she's a Natural all thru)

15. Kate Moss, Flamboyant Gamine

16. Devon Aoki, Flamboyant Gamine

17. Chloe Sevigny, Flamboyant Gamine

18. Anok Yai, Pure Dramatic

19. Adut Akech, underweight SD

20. Emily Ratajkowski, Flamboyant Gamine

21. Chrissy Teigen, SD

22. Camille Rowe, Soft Gamine

23. Adwoa Aboah, Flamboyant Gamine

24. Agyness Deyn, Dramatic Classic

25. Joan Smalls, Dramatic

26. Milla Jovovich, DC

27. Sasha Pivovarova, Dramatic Classic

28. Amber Valletta, Dramatic Classic

29. Candice Swanepoel, underweight SD

ive reached the image limit ,, ill make a part 2 in the future<33

Simone Ashley in Elle UK (October 2023 issue)

A Night At The Museum: Simone Ashley

A teenage passion for vintage Hollywood movies – and their costumes – sparked the actor’s love of design.

Fashion is a 'completely different world’ to the one Simone Ashley, 28, inhabited growing up between Surrey and California. ‘I was never like, “Oh my gosh, I really want that handbag.” Where and how I grew up, I was always outdoors. So I wore what I could go and play in and whatever my mum put me in,’ she explains.

Ashley is now, of course, a world- famous actor and fashion-month darling – a front-row fixture and regular on best- dressed lists thanks to her flair for glamour. She’s a woman who looks at home in some of the world’s most dazzling labels, from Chanel logo-embossed platform heels to shimmering 16Arlington dresses.

The first fashion show she attended was in Paris for Chanel’s SS22 presentation, which celebrated the golden era of the Nineties catwalk complete with photo- graphers lining the runway and George Michael covers blaring over the speakers.

The show resonated with Ashley, who spent her teens in California watching films from the same decade. Among the most treasured pieces in her wardrobe is a vintage Hawaiian shirt that belonged to her mother, reminding her of the Tarantino movies they’d watch together.

The era’s pop culture and fashion left an indelible mark on her own personal style. The trademark tumbling curls Julia Roberts had in Pretty Woman is a look Ashley emulates often, while Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard is another influence: ‘The coolest hair, the coolest outfits,’ she says.

In keeping with the Nineties theme, mini-skirts and knee-high boots are a combo Ashley frequently wears; her most recent purchase was a pair of Paris Texas boots. ‘My boots are very dear to me,’ she says, recalling her first time visiting Chanel’s iconic Rue Cambon store in Paris ahead of the show. ‘I was just so drawn to the boots!’

Your perfume = your outfit

Like I said in my previous post ( How to always look neat ) here is my perfumes recommandations with the style that you have.

This MY opinion but honestly, I have the vision.

By the way I don't have all those perfumes, even thought I smelled them. Obviously smell them too because we're not the same regarding taste

-> when it comes to perfumes buy them when it's mother's day week or Christmas (Black Friday too) there is some discount.

Do not hesitate to put your style in the comment if I forgot it. I would love to know what you think about my writings in general ( does it help you ? Do I speak too much lol ? What kind of tips do you want )

(Audrey and Monica are so beautiful)

─ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─

This style a little boyish (🍸🐰✨) that I love would be perfect with something fresh or some plant. For exemple CK on by Calvin Klein or Aqua di Gioia by Armani. Also something like this is her by Zadig & Voltaire would be good

Dark academia (🍂🤎📔) - stoppp when I was a teenager (omg I'm getting old) I used to be obsessed with this style. For this one I recommend you Jazz club by Maison Margiela. There is also On a date that I love by them. Another one would be Kayali (28) vanilla the best vanilla perfume !

Now if you have a feminine style like (🌸🪞🪽) you should definitely try Burberry her I have it, this literally strawberry. I have it even thought this is not my style but I didn't knew myself enough. The second one would be Daisy by Marc Jacobs. This is very floral and I hate it. I have it pls for the same reason of the Burberry. If you like floral perfumes it's the one. The last that I can recommend is very good girl by Caroline Herrera. The heel bottle (you know this perfume you saw this on social media)

-> on the fancy side there is the Delina exclusive. It's expensiiiive but God it's smell so good

Now the dark feminine style (💋🍷🖤) . I know you see hypnotic poison coming lmao but no I don't suggest you the one that everyone talks about . I recommend you the eau de parfum not the eau de toilette. The perfume (parfum in French) is more intense (obviously because there is more perfume) than the red you see EVERYWHERE. This is the one that I prefer (the purple bottle). There is also Tease by Victoria secret. The last one is expensive but so good. It's the bewitching Yasmine ( the name says everything I cannot wait to buy this one day) . If you have the occasion to smell this perfume pls do it

note expert : I didn't want to put tom ford lost cherry

girl boss/office siren (💻👓📁)

We all agree that you want to be seen as charismatic, powerful etc. I said in my previous post that it should be something more strong and woody. The fact is that not everybody likes strong perfume, but here my suggestions. The first would be the Black orchid by Tom Ford. Again, this is not for everybody. The first 10 minutes are awful but after ?? It smells so good. It is my favorite perfume. Also there is Coco noir by Chanel, it's a little bit like black orchid but less strong. Paradoxe by Prada and Born in Roma by Valentino. Those two are amazing and are not strong.

note expert #2 = lol I didn't put Libre by YSL because I hate it !

The last one is if you have an Elegant style (☕️⭐️💰) formal. To be honest with you, those perfume are most of the time floral like libre. I can also said j'Adior by Dior ( that one perfume that every mom has). Everybody has miss Dior so I suggest In love with you by Armani. There is also Chance by Chanel and prestige of oud by Ayat. It's an arab perfume. As you might know, this one is woody.

─ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─

THE END. Most of the time those are the kind of style we have (especially the first one). Do not hesitate to tell your style !!

I was trying so hard to convince myself that I had a feminine style but not at all. I am more on the dark feminine and the office siren style.

But it doesn't mean that we have to stick to one style. In summer, I wear a lot of pink dress so I'm gonna use those feminine perfumes.

(Also I couldn't put perfumes pictures because honestly it would be too much in the post.)

Lastly those perfumes can be perceived as expensive. It is because there is a difference between an expensive and dupe one. That why I'm ready to pay a certain amount. Remember the tips that I said at the beginning to buy perfume.

I love you wherever you are

July 30, 2023 -

After the pre-recording, Jungkook goes live while still at SBS (this is before Tae joined him on stage, and before his encore performance). Jungkook reads out the question, “Where is Taehyungie Hyung?” He then says he doesn’t know while glancing to his left, which made me wonder if Tae was close by and he instinctively looked his way. Anyway, this is some swift karma against people who ran with this comment because we see soon after this live that Jk absolutely knew where Tae was (because, being realistic, there’s no way Tae is going through the gates and to Jk’s dressing room without Jk knowing he’s there). I think people fail to realize that members do have to omit things, bend the truth a little or lie at times, for their safety, protection and privacy. As Jk says later in this live, he’s a public figure and singer. I think people forget that, or somehow conveniently forget his character (his kind nature, how he takes time to talk to us when he doesn’t have to). Please remember there IS a line between his celebrity and what he can share. Tae surprised him on stage, so Jk more than likely (in my opinion) said he didn’t know where Tae was to protect and respect their privacy at the time, since he didn’t know Tae would soon join him on the stage. This further goes to show we only know so much, because if Tae hadn’t joined Jk on stage, we’d have never known he was there. 

(Also, I apologize these photos aren’t crisp. I have it on the highest resolution and it still wasn’t amazing, so I did my best with what my phone was giving me). 

Reading the question, “Where is Taehyungie Hyung?”

Glancing over after he reads the question -

He then tells fans he’ll give Taehyung our regards, teasingly asking with a smile, “Where are you? ARMY is asking where you are.” And, again, we know Tae was at Inkigayo to support Jungkook so this makes his comments even funnier.

Jungkook mentions the comments go fast, so he reads what sticks out. This live, he chose to read a lot of comments related to Tae. It can be presumed Tae may have been in the same room (especially since he glances over briefly during a couple Tae related questions), and Jk was teasing.

Timestamp 11:52

He tells fans he’ll try to tell Tae to do a live broadcast. He ends his comment with a smile and chuckle.

Timestamp 11:58

Of course, I can’t not mention he’s once again wearing his Coco Chanel Crush ring! I won’t note every instance we see it, but I’ll point out one timestamp. I absolutely love that he keeps wearing this ring that Tae and Wooga share, so I’ll always note it at least once when I see it! Especially since it’s clearly significant and special to Jk.

Timestamp 20:53, plays with the ring, spinning it around, at 21:00

He continues playing with his ring as he talks about living one life, and that this mentality is why he thinks he tries to work hard. I’m glad he saw a comment wishing him success in all his pursuits. He also wishes that for us.

Jungkook reads a comment about doing a live and karaoke with Tae. He reads it as a question, saying Tae didn’t contact him.

He smiles after he says this.

Then, with a linger smile (better seen in the live) he reiterates Tae didn’t contact him.

What I found interesting about this is right after he says this, he seems to glance up at someone (but watch and decide for yourself).

It looks to me that he looks up towards someone because his eyes then look back at the screen, reading comments. Again, I encourage you to watch the live to see for yourself.

Tae had mentioned a karaoke live in his April 19, 2023, live.

Noting the ring one final time 🥰

Timestamp 35:00

Jungkook reminds fans not to ask sensitive questions, as he’s not going to answer them. He reminds fans he’s a public figure and singer (so there are some things he can’t answer).

Timestamp 46:07

Interestingly enough, after saying he won’t answer sensitive questions, the very next question he reads out loud and answers is, “When are you going to live with Taehyungie Hyung?” 

A friend that is fluent in Korean translated it as follows (see SS of the translation below): 

“He took it as 같이 살거야 ?? 

When are you guys going to live together ?

Living together? Me? And Taehyung? Ho … I don’t know.

He could’ve skipped this question, but chose to read it, and purposely answered with a vague, “I don’t know,” while smiling and giggling.”

Reading the question out loud in a quieter voice -

His expression after reading it is so interesting to me! He chose to read this question, and it’s clear he’s not annoyed by it. In fact, he answered pretty cheekily!

He blinks twice, smiles, and slightly chuckles as he lightly says, “I don’t know.” Right after, his voice is clearer and louder as he continues discussing various topics with us, so I also think his tone being softer and quieter as he answers this question is something to note.

Jungkook talks about the video of “Taehyungie Hyung” that came out (Esquire Korea).

With a sigh, and in a low voice, Jk states, “He’s really handsome.”

He praises his looks a second time, still in a soft, whisper-like voice. I do want to note this because he does repeatedly mention Jin’s good looks right after, but just like when he read the question about him and “Taehyungie Hyung” living together in a softer register, then read the question about if he likes math in a normal voice, it’s the same with this. I find it sweet how gentle his tone was in this live when he was talking about “Taehyungie Hyung.”

Sparking Joy (Jean Patou, 1930)

What's the best perfume of all time? Objectively, I don't think that's an answerable question; it might be that the absolute best perfume (which means what?) is something designed by an artisan outside the French tradition or the Arabian tradition, or not by a professional nose at all, but a single bottle mixed up by a hobbyist in some quiet little corner of the world. We just don't know. But much the way the American Film Institute decrees that Citizen Kane is the best [American] film of all time, what do Those in the Know think is the best? Chanel No. 5, right? The top seller in the world for decades?

Not at all. In 2000, the Fragrance Foundation FiFi Awards bestowed the public's choice for "Scent of the Century" on Jean Patou's Joy.

I remember reading this in the newspaper at the time, back when we had newspapers; I hadn't even worn fragrance since Sun-Ripened Raspberry body splash in high school, and I was shocked that it wasn't Chanel No. 5. I have to think "the public" meant "knowledgeable members of the perfume industry," because I had never heard of Joy, and most people I've talked to (who aren't hanging out on on fragrance forums) haven't, either. I feel like many of us would reflexively say "No. 5" because Chanel's done that good a job at shoring up their flagship's legend.

The story of Jean Patou's Joy is the opposite: when a fragrance isn't given the respect it deserves.

(Joy ads, 1947 and 1978; more here)

Famously, back when Joy was famous, perfumer Henri Alméras created Joy for Parisian couturier Jean Patou, as an oddly defiant, perhaps even life-affirming reaction to the 1929 Wall Street crash. At the time, it was "the costliest perfume in the world": "One ounce of the lavish scent contains 10,600 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen May roses"—and it cost $40 ($728.45!!!). And I might say it's a little obscene to create such an extravagant thing in the middle of the Great Depression—and yet, somehow, Joy was a huge success. A master perfumer created a work of art for a luxury vendor, and people bought it, and they loved it. Jackie Kennedy wore it; Vivien Leigh wore it. I've been wearing Joy for three weeks, and if I could have saved up enough pennies in 1930 to buy a tiny vial, I could see myself doing it, just to have that little something.

Joy was explicitly intended to be "a lighthouse" in a dark time of deprivation, and it wasn't overpriced just for the hell of it; it was the costliest in the sense of quality. It might best be known for its rose-jasmine pairing, but besides the entire region of Grasse crammed into every bottle, Joy also contains "leafy green notes," tuberose, ylang-ylang, aldehydes, peach (our old friend undecalactone?), lily of the valley, orris root, orchid, civet, musk, and sandalwood; Wikipedia also lists "michelia," which may mean magnolia here.

I'll admit up front that I have no idea when the sample I bought last month was produced, but the “juice,” as they say, looks very new; it doesn't have the deep dark color that I've seen on vintage bottles of Joy. It's got to be one of the newer formulations. Tom at Perfume Posse can speak for the older ones:

The [2022 sample] I received smells thinner than I remember - more skimming over those fields of flowers than just bashing into them, face-first. The Joy I remember reveled in the excess: bowers of roses, masses of lilies, clouds of tuberose backed with some of that “don’t F with me” musk that must have been civet back in the day. This is nice. Nice and sweet, with only a hint of the previous hedonist.

Angela at Now Smell This:

For the longest time, to me Joy smelled dense, like a Victorian room with the curtains pulled. I couldn’t feel my way around in it. The turning point for me came from hearing current Patou house perfumer Thomas Fontaine describe Joy’s sillage as lush and old fashioned. I’d been trying to make Joy a light, happy perfume. Really, it’s a gorgeously constructed velvet overcoat, heavy and plush and meticulously made. It’s red wine, not champagne.

The Scented Hound:

Joy (current version eau de parfum) is truly a joy when it first goes on the skin as it’s full of lush ylang-ylang and soapy white flowers and bright aldehydes. [...] As Joy continues its slow and deliberate path, a jasmine blends itself with the rose…but combined, they’re still very controlled and incredibly proper. Joy doesn’t transform or morph very much, but in the end, the florals fade and soften a bit, and what you’re left is a lightly warm breeze of light floral sandalwood musk.

The version I have is clearly the newer one—I actually would say it's more like champagne, not in the literal effervescent way (see the Coco Mademoiselles), but in the sense that this Joy is light. Not weak, but light, the way I described the aspect of No. 5 that I could stand as "limpid." In my head, Joy is a beautiful sunset pink color, sheer, almost verging into red. The jasmine comes out the strongest for me at first, maybe with the slight presence of an aldehyde, but then, on top of that, the biggest, fullest, realest rose I've ever smelled in a perfume. If I get cut flowers for my birthday, I always save any roses in the bouquet and dry them. Jean Patou's Joy smells like a rose that is so fully blown that the petals fall apart in my hand when I try to pull it from the vase. Not decaying, not that far gone, but the rose's absolute full potential of bloom, and so vividly that I can see the texture of the petals. If you want to tell me there’s 336 roses in here, I will believe you.

On my skin, the rose floats there on top, on a bed of headier florals, for at least half an hour; in my notes, I jotted down that a spicy ylang-ylang "with a slight bubblegum connotation" (see Samsara for more on the bubbleylang) shows up then, and by an hour-twenty, the whole thing has come together, all flowers present at once in a sweet, soft, heady, slightly spicy, rose-pink glow.

[Sidebar: At three hours, Joy reminded me in some non-literal way of Murray & Lanman's Florida Water, also billed as "the Richest of All Perfumes" in the late 1800s. (Of course I got myself a bottle of an actual Gilded Age perfume they still sell today for $4, are you kidding me?) I've seen a lot of Florida Water formulas (which are still used today in various spiritual traditions), and I've mostly seen lavender, clove, and multiple citrus notes as the components, sometimes with rose, ylang-ylang, and/or cinnamon as well. Unlike many, many French perfumes, Jean Patou's Joy doesn't have any citrus top notes at all, so I'm not sure what I'm getting in common with Florida Water, other than the florals and a certain spiciness that comes out late in Joy's game for me. I'd like to think it's purely the "richness" that reminds me of the Costliest Perfume in the World.]

"Warm breeze" is a good way to describe Joy's drydown; it's not heavy or old-fashioned to me at all, and I can't specifically pick out musk at any point (clearly, this sample was made after real animal musk was banned in 1979; anything animalic still here would be synthetic). I barely get sandalwood—it's just gorgeous florals, and if you (I) haven't smelled the original Joy, you aren't capable of missing it. Now Smell This has a breakdown of how the eau de toilette and the eau de parfum differed as of 2008; I got the EdP. I don't feel like it goes from light to dark, but it does smell very lush and complex to me. It feels like it sings, and you know what? When I first smelled it, I thought it smelled like a number of things I'd tried recently, particularly Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée. That glowing pink rose-jasmine-ylang-sandalwood combination—and then I realized, no, those perfumes smell like Joy. Joy is so iconic that it's used as a building block, a quotation, in so many fragrances that came after it.

And it's so, so easy to wear—in fairness, I haven't worn the heavier original formulation, but I'm not even sure I'd want to. This Joy is so easy and lovely and gorgeous—I've been wondering if I'd ever find my one signature scent to rule them all, and while Joy doesn't have all my favorite notes, I wouldn't mind if it became mine.

But here's the thing: they don't manufacture Joy anymore. You can still buy what's already been produced, for now, but as existing supplies sell out, it'll only get more expensive with time. Because someone bought the rights to Jean Patou's Joy for the sole purpose of not producing it.

You're about to get a second post about who did that and why.

What is Douyin Makeup? A Guide to Trends, Looks, and Products

If you’re curious about how long a makeup trend will last, just check out TikTok! Some makeup trends are only popular for a short time, but others are more long-lasting. Douyin makeup is one of those long-lasting trends that you might have seen on your TikTok “For You” page. It’s so popular that the hashtag has over 1.3 million views on TikTok.

Makeup artist Lewis Chia has made several Douyin makeup videos that have gone viral. He loves how Douyin makeup enhances your natural features while still letting them shine through.

Another makeup artist, Taylour Chanel, thinks Douyin makeup is great because it’s soft and gentle, which is different from the edgy, cool makeup trends we’ve seen recently. Chanel says that Douyin Makeup is answering a call that people are looking for in the beauty world right now.

What Is Douyin Makeup?

Douyin makeup is a trendy makeup style from China that’s becoming more popular in other parts of the world, especially thanks to TikTok. The look is all about a natural, glowing complexion and uses shimmery eyeshadow, pink blush, and soft lips.

Some people have been confusing Douyin makeup with Korean beauty, but it’s important to remember that they’re different styles from different cultures. Douyin makeup was created by Chinese makeup influencers and emphasizes glittery eyeshadow and dramatic lashes, while Korean beauty uses a more minimal eye look.

Even though it’s a traditional East Asian look, people around the world are starting to take inspiration from Douyin makeup and make it their own. Makeup creator Kamille Gregory was curious to see how the style would look on her, and now she loves it too!

CHENGYI’S CUTE COMIC strikes again. This one is really more of a cute story and is leaning towards the fake rumor territory. at least for me. This is the original link and the caption is Thursday is a good day to see you, which is a reference to this CPN. So the whole comic is about them getting ready to see each other for the legendary Wuji recording. In particular, ZZ wanted to get a haircut.

based on the drawing, fans pointed to ZZ’s oasis post back in 3/24 where he had really long hair. and then come 3/28, it was trimmed down. you also see him trying to fix his hair and was often touching it during the Wuji recording. i just love idea of him getting a haircut and wanting to look his best because he knows he will be meeting up with yibo. 😭😭😭

there is also a part here where yibo is ready with his chanel perfume but that’s a well known cpn already so it’s not exactly a new tidbit. but still a nice addition.

that’s all. this is clowning. fake. 💯

Film updates on Twitter just posted timmy and the Jenner girl at beyonces concert looking cozy while he’s smoking. Their together and nothing about this has ever been one sided. After months of his fans saying she’s a stalker , this is all Kris orchestrated and his name was supposedly being dragged with a huge loss of thousands of followers per day on his IG which mysteriously are put back the next day? All the stories were from both teams not just hers. All the PR games, the orchestrated driveway photos, Cannes rumor, taco dates, soccer games, airplane hangars, Italy, birthday yacht, big foot photos, private jets, hickey gate etc he doesn’t care and is doubling down and all in. What a joke. All the dmoix leaks were from both teams. So dmoix source was right and he was with her on her birthday in Dominican Republic or Antigua during the SAG strike which he remains silent on and is yet to support? Also PR person on Reddit said word is his team removed the Vogue article not hers. There is no gun to his head. This is him. His choice. Good luck dude. Fucking Circus. He has shit to sell and her new season starts Sep 28th. Say hello to Timmy 2.0. Mr I don’t give a fuck what the fans think and will date whoever I want and do staged sponsored pap walks as long as the cheque clears. No thanks. Cue the mountain of excuses fans are about to make about how this nearly 28 year old multi millionaire intellectual with his six star lifestyle, private jets and projects coming out of everywhere is being forced against his will to do this charade by Sleazy Homophobic Hollywood and the big bad media loving over exposed kardashians in 3…2..1. Maybe look at the video closer. Does he look stressed? He’s laughing and knows the fans will all fall back in line after they vent angrily after a day or two as always. Excuses. Excuses. Don’t worry obviously the Chanel movie is about to drop to distract everyone with his hotness. Isn’t that the pattern? Right after her new Acne Campaign this weekend. Coordinated as usual. True love. Let the excuses begin.

I understand your anger, believe me but for me there is a basic problem in thinking that he should behave or live as the fans want for him, I don't like the people he goes out with, I don't know them (and for what I know I DON'T LIKE THEM to clarify )but in general and I'm not just referring to Tim to think that the actor we love has to necessarily follow the guidelines of how the fans would like him seems crazy to me
