smelling good


A. and I are always on the lookout for good incense ... not the usual patchouli or sandalwood varieties (I actually can't stand those) but something more subtle and refreshing. My favourites are these French ones that we picked up a few years back in Provence - memoire d'un instant. The smell reminds me strongly of those holidays, and they have such whimsical names too (I haven't been able to find them anywhere else, so if anyone reading this knows where I can buy them, please let me know).
But I think I might have found a good substitute ..the other day I just happened to wander into zara home looking for suitable items for my trades this month and discovered their incense collection. Their selection is not wide, but boy does it smell good. I loved these two - "white jasmine" and "black vanilla" - and if I wasn't a regular customer at this store before (this was my 2nd visit actually) I think I might just become one.
(and if you have any good incense suggestions, please let me know as well)

Eu também sou apreciadora de incenso mas como tu acho difícil encontrar de boa qualidade.
Ainda bem que deste a dica da Zara Home, ainda há pouco tempo estive lá e não vi o incenso.
Se souber de algum sítio onde se venda do bom até te mando para experimentares.

Irene said...

Fui às compras e comprei em dose dupla para te mandar uns quantos pauzinhos de incenso para experimentares.

Eu também gosto desses das Zara. a baunilha e o jasmim sempre foram dos meus preferidos.
Prefiro os cheiros frescos, 'alimonados' mas, confesso, também sou fã dum cheiro mais forte, o da madeira de Sândalo. Decerto recordações de infância, duma arca que a minha avó abria para ir buscar lençóis fresquinhos quando eu ficava lá e que imanava esse cheirinho.

Só uso desse cá em casa e o de jasmim também mas prefiro o deu baunilha. Na Habitat também havia uns cones de incenso de côco, manga e framboesa que eram óptimos.
Também não gosto dos aromas mais tradicionais.

Tânia não sei se conhece uma loja na Av. Miguel Bombarda, já quase a chegar aos jardins da Gulbenkian, chamada ZEN, que tem uma oferta razoável de incenso. Acho que encontrará algo que lhe agrade.

'nature et découvertes' incense have really nice subtle smell. I especially love 'sieste sous le figuier' (a nap under the fig tree). I think the first incense box you show is from this shop.

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally is from the '80s, the gaming inspired design and coloring is a no-brainer ... Right? The kicks would possibly not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a software game based on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes that the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five mins to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off mad rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts. It looks fittingly retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

So I bit the bullet -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-Carbon-Edition-2.html]Fatman iTube Carbon 2[/url] and I am very happy to say that I am an extremely happy customer. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it really truly surprised me. I searched online everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I telephoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was surprisingly fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they ship outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Nice...
