Today I decided to visit my sample of Tom Ford’s Rose Prick. Did I ever tell you how much I love rose – patchouli combination in fragrances? No? Well… it is my favourite 🙂 Along with rose – oud… 🙂 Whenever I divert to other perfume notes, overtime I still circle back to my basics. And Rose Prick has hit the spot in my day today 🙂
Here are some sample cards from my quick visit to Brown Thomas the other day.
I had a chance to finally try these, and two days later the scents still linger on very strong.

Time flies enormously fast. Every single moment is of such value these days that I can barely hold on to this train. At the same time it feels like I’ve been writing this blog for two months already, and only because of the title these posts I can actually base myself.. Two full weeks. What have I discovered? What have I learnt?..
