1 Year, Cheyenne, and Ploughman

Hey friends! I hope you are all doing wonderfully. I have exciting news! Today is my one year anniversary for this blog! I can't believe it's already been a year! I'm so glad I made the decision to start my blog last year, and I'm honored to know you guys through blogging. I wish I had some sort of fancy giveaway planned... But I don't. I've been crazy busy lately. This week I returned to work after spring break, and it wasn't exactly the best work week I've ever had. But on Friday last week, my boyfriend and I rescued a dog that was running through the street. She came home with us and we took her to the vet to get her microchip scanned. It wasn't registered, but the employees were awesome and able to find the owner the next day. We called the owner, which was a crazy conversation to say the least. Apparently her son is mentally unstable, and he broke into her house and let the dog out; then he stole her car. I don't know how her other dogs didn't get out, but I don't know how true her story was in the first place. She then went on to say she was DOWNSIZING and that we could keep the dog. She also said we could return the dog, but that she knew this would happen again. It's 11 years old and I'm pretty sure it's a German Shepard lab. She's such a sweet dog and is very well trained. We still have her, and I really don't want to give her back to a lady that views her as an object to be downsized. But it's been a hard decision to make. I'm almost certain we'll keep her. The crazy thing is that her name is Cheyenne, which is the city my boyfriend was born in. I'll keep you guys updated if you're interested and I'll try to get pictures of her. I have some, but the quality isn't good.

I have an insane amount of perfumes to review, but today I'm going to review Ploughman by Haus of Gloi. They recently released their Spring products, but I did not buy anything initially. Then I read Liber Vix's Haus of Gloi Spring haul here, and she inspired me to purchase a lovely Spring perfume from them- Ploughman! I also got a whipped soap in the same scent.

Haus of Gloi describes Ploughman as:
Well worn leather, dirt n' dandelions, carrot, a pinch of tobacco and a light sheen of feral skin musk.

Cold Sniff: The dandelion note is very strong upon cold sniff. It's quite glorious, though I am a huge dandelion fan.

Initial Application/Wet on Skin: The earthiness/dirt note pops out, though it blends so seamlessly with the Dandelion note that it's just absolutely magical. I never noticed this from my Ploughman imp, but the carrot note peeks out here too.

Drydown: The drydown for me is every note from the scent description dancing together beautifully. Eventually this perfume ends right where it started- with the green dandelion note.  This is truly a unique and wonderful spring scent.

Final Thoughts: Liber Vix told me that this scent kind of reminded her of a hobbit, and I thought that is a perfect description for Ploughman! Working hard in the field all day to plow vegetables, dandelions dancing in the light breeze, riding ponies with leather saddles, and having a delightful puff of pipe weed after a hard day's work. The Shire would most definitely smell like this perfume. I'm happy to finally be the proud owner of a full size.
