Four Times Bogart, State of Scent Cabinet

 Four times (the, a) Bogart

However what is new here is a bottle of Bogart Pour Homme which is actually similar - at least in type - to my earlier acquisition, Lalique Equus Pour Homme.

What's also new, I made first ever use of practice of layering of fragrances, basically combined Bogart Pour Homme with Equus Pour Homme... and it worked as far as I am concerned meaning I liked it at least and that's the most important thing.



Extra, top google search hit on layering fragrances is this video

NYT: 100 hands



Quote

“Handmade shirt skills have died out in North Italy, France and the U.K.,” he said. “There is still some hand-sewing in Naples, but the vast majority is not at the same level as 100Hands.”

Nightingale singing in early summer mating season

More of my personal nightingale singing though probably not for me.



O Nightingale! thou surely art

A creature of a fiery heart --

Thou sing'st as if the god of wine

Had help'd thee to a Valentine


My personal friendly nightingale, lives at my summer villa

Summer Bookcore

DWW's bookcore concept seems to have had its heyday 15 minutes of (relative) fame, but I am here to revive it in summer 2022 and in Moscow... yes, f8ck you too, anlgo-saxon inbreds & West preservation society degenerates, freedumb and democrazy edition ))

Anyways, enough friendly banter for now, so here goes.

Me version of the Cali tux, bookcore adjusted

Beer Lunch: Fish and Chips and Two Beers

To continue with My Restaurants theme, here is beer lunch I personally had a couple of weeks ago: a local Moscow rendition of the staple of Ingurlish cuisine aka fish and chips, and two tap craft beers at Krafteiner bar, somewhere in northern Moscow.

 

Krafteiner bar at a famous place here in Moscow that used to be a bread making factory with constructionist architecture.

Fish and chips

Not too bad, except it's some industrial fish and not cod or something decent.

However, it is important to eat more fish both for me and you.

And two beers.

The first one is a local craft beer called Kraken something or other HeFe.

Felt a bit too liquid but it was okay, I guess.


The second beer of the lunch

Bakunin Salty Dog Gose that I have already had once but this was the tap version.

Also, not too intense but good on balance.
