Zagorsk (Comme des Garçons)
Zagorsk opens with a frank, fresh, true-to-life birch-bud note bookended on either side by green cypress and fruity cayenne. In the heat of summer, it's as crisp and energizing as a lash from a vihta, the ritual bundle of water-dipped birch boughs with which Finnish sauna-goers lightly flog themselves to achieve health and purity. I found it invigorating from the get-go.
It doesn't last long after that first startling moment; there's a flicker of lemony frankincense, but (despite the cayenne) not enough heat to melt it. Still, it's an interesting essay: incense unburnt; an ancient cedar box full of loose and dusty nuggets of pale yellow resin. I have held such riches heaped in the palm of my hand, breathed in its placid scent, and been reminded of its unreleased potential...
Despite its lack of staying power, Zagorsk still intrigued me more than Ouarzazate. What good is persistence, however impressive, if all one has to voice is a platitude repeated a thousand times before? Zagorsk may be a monosyllable, but it at least it is a highly original one.
I'm listening.
Scent Elements: Birch, pine, frankincense, cayenne, violet, cedar, iris, cypress

Pine needle/church stone anon again. Sorry to come back for that, but do you have any more perfume recs in that same vein? I haven't worn perfume in ages and I'm actually looking to try something new.
I was debating how I should answer this because I despise sharing. Possessiveness is my greatest fault of all. But in the spirit of introducing perfume to more people, I’ll recommend a few things. The range of perfumes CDG’s Zagorsk is from are all inspired by sites of religious worship, so there might be something else for you there. Zagorsk is my favorite, because it’s the only one with the cold pine note, but if you have a fondness for the Catholic Church and all the incense they burn and the scent of the wooden pews, there’s always Avignon. Or ELDO’s Rien, which I prefer. It’s warmer, more alive. For coldness and religion I’d recommend Relique D’Amour, pine and lily and moss and cold stone after the church closes its doors. That might be closer to what you were describing in your original ask. Then for something in between — and for something that smells most like the church to me — there’s La Liturgie des Heures, which is pine and incense and smoke and wood. If you try any of these you must send me reviews. I really enjoy making recommendations, but I’m simultaneously a bit like those dogs that want to play fetch but won’t let go of the ball. Can’t have both, I suppose.

“And the LORD [יְהֹוָה] came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded, and said, Behold, the people is one and they have all one language; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.” —Gen 11:5-7

Zdenka Maltar: Branek o lišću koje pada
U njegovoj školi nisu se čitali pjesnici i on nije čuo za pismo o lišću koje pada, ali zna sve o lišću koje pada. Nema žurbe u tom poslu, kaže naslonjen na metlu. Treba prvo odvojiti plastiku i papir, nije to lako u ovome vatrometu. Ljudi svašta bacaju, nema više vrijednih stvari, samo smeće. Kante i kante lišća iz Zagorske ulice odvezene su u kompost. U zadnje vrijeme u modi je javor, a jesen u…

Optics are very important. I think everyone knows this. So, I doubt that this was an accident, as the mafiosi are claiming. This was a deliberate strike to hinder or stop the orcs from producing these devices.

Armand smells like stone and old wood (think the smell of an old church minus the incense), and also sun-warmed pine needles. Because I want him to.
I know a couple of perfumes you might like, actually. Look up Zagorsk by CDG. It might be up your alley. I can definitely see (smell?) this, although I think he smells like incense and smoke, still burning. I like the addition of sun-warmed pine needles, though. Of course he can smell like that. Wanting him to is enough.

Ukraine war latest: Germany transfers 2 Patriot launchers to Ukraine in latest aid package
Tumblr media
Key developments on Aug. 9:
Germany transfers 2 Patriot launchers in latest aid package
Minister: Ukraine will need at least $42 billion in foreign financial aid in 2024
Russian media claims explosion at industrial plant outside Moscow
Poland to deploy additional 2,000 soldiers to Belarusian border
MP investigated for vacation during wartime declared suspect of document forgery.
Berlin announced on Aug. 9 that two additional Patriot missile systems were handed over to Ukraine in Germany’s latest military aid package.
Germany pledged the Patriot launchers to Ukraine during the NATO summit in Vilnius in early July.
The use of two Patriot missile systems in Ukraine’s air defense was first confirmed by Ukraine’s Air Force in late April. One was provided by Germany and the other by the U.S.
Ukraine will now have four Patriot missile systems at its disposal.
The latest military aid package from Germany also includes 10 BV206 all-terrain vehicles, over 6,500 rounds of 155mm smoke ammunition, four Vector reconnaissance drones, five border protection vehicles, six truck tractor trains with six semi-trailers, and two load-handling trucks.
Additionally, Berlin delivered 100 MG5 machine guns, 40,000 first aid kits, explosive ordnance disposal material, binoculars, and safety glasses.

Minister: Ukraine will need at least $42 billion in foreign financial aid in 2024
Finance Minister Serhii Marchenko told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) in an interview on Aug. 9 that Ukraine will need at least $42 billion in foreign financial aid in 2024.
According to Marchenko, Ukraine secured financing for the rest of 2023, but it has not yet been confirmed as to whether or not the necessary amount of aid will be received next year.
“Now we have $42 billion in…external financing. For the next year, we are planning no smaller amount than that,” Marchenko said.
“Why? Because we plan the budget for the security and defense sector at the level of 2023,” he added.
Marchenko noted that for successful negotiations, Ukraine must also demonstrate its ability to fill the budget using internal resources, including an estimated Hr 1.3 trillion ($35 billion) in tax revenues.

Russian media claims explosion at industrial plant outside Moscow
Russian state media said on Aug. 9 that an explosion took place at the Zagorsk Optical and Mechanical Plant northeast of Moscow, injuring 22 people.
The plant develops and manufactures optical and optoelectrical devices for the military, law enforcement agencies, industries, and healthcare in the town of Sergiev Posad.
Russian state-controlled news outlet TASS claimed the source of the explosion was caused by “human error” and originated in a pyrotechnics warehouse rented by a third company on the site of the plant.
However, the explosion occurred after weeks of drone attacks on Moscow and other locations throughout Russia.

Poland to deploy additional 2,000 soldiers to Belarusian border
Polish Deputy Interior Minister Maciej Wasik told the Polish Press Agency (PAP) on Aug. 9. that Poland will deploy an additional 2,000 soldiers to the Polish-Belarusian border.
The 2,000 additional soldiers will be deployed to the Lublin and Podlaskie provinces within the next two weeks. Currently, there are already 2,000 soldiers stationed at the border along with the Border Guard units, the PAP said.
While the Border Guard earlier requested only 1,000 soldiers as reinforcements, the Defense Ministry decided to send twice the number.
“The reinforcement will not be 1,000, but 2,000 soldiers. Such a decision was made by the Security Committee…and by (Defense) Minister Mariusz Blaszczak,” Wasik told the PAP. For the past two years, tensions have been escalating along the Polish-Belarusian border. Beginning in 2021, Minsk has orchestrated the movement of migrants, primarily from the Middle East, to the borders of Poland and the Baltic countries, effectively generating an artificial migrant crisis.
Tensions have flared once again since Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner Group mercenaries began streaming into Belarus following their short-lived “rebellion” against the Kremlin, which stopped short of reaching Moscow.
Wagner mercenaries have been conducting military exercises with Belarusian soldiers in Brest Oblast near the Polish border.
On July 29, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki claimed that 100 Wagner mercenaries had been deployed near the Suwalki Corridor, a strategic strip of land between Poland and Lithuania that also divides Belarus from Russia’s Kaliningrad Oblast.
Two Belarusian helicopters also violated Polish airspace on Aug. 1.
While Morawiecki warned earlier that Wagner mercenaries can try to infiltrate Poland from Belarus, Wasik told the PAP that the mercenaries do not threaten Polish security “in a tactical sense."
Belarus Weekly: Helicopters violate Polish airspace; Wagner moves closer to border
Tensions rise after Belarusian helicopters cross into Polish territory, the country’s state border service said on Aug. 1. Poland also alleges that around 100 Wagner mercenaries are transferred closer to the Suwalki Corridor, bringing tensions to a new high. Subscribe to the NewsletterBelarus…

MP investigated for vacation during wartime declared suspect of document forgery
Lawmaker Oleksandr Dubinsky said on Aug. 9 that he had been declared a suspect in the falsification of official documents for a case related to his recent travel abroad.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the State Bureau of Investigation announced on Aug. 3. that Dubinsky was being investigated for taking a vacation abroad during wartime.
The authorities believe he traveled under the pretext of accompanying his father for medical treatment outside of Ukraine. However, Dubinsky’s father went abroad without him and returned to Ukraine before him.
Dubinsky allegedly spent several weeks on holiday in Italy, Croatia, and Spain in July.
As reported by Ukrainska Pravda, Dubinsky’s trip became public when a Health Ministry document requesting his permission to travel abroad was leaked. Dubinsky was slated to return by July 10. However, he was featured in an Instagram post by his girlfriend during a holiday in Barcelona at the end of July.
The forgery charge relates to how the MP “was able to sign and send official documents” during his stay abroad. The evidence of Dubinsky not being in Ukraine on the days the documents were signed “may indicate their forgery,” the Bureau said.
Dubinsky said the charges were politically motivated and that the authorities were “cynically interfering in the personal life of (his) family."
Dubinsky is an independent lawmaker. He was removed from President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Servant of the People party in 2021 for “violating the statute and disobeying the party’s governing bodies."
Ukrainian authorities have prohibited lawmakers and other government officials from traveling abroad during the full-scale invasion after several took “business trips,” including in exotic locations.
