Rogue Perfumery Tuberose and Moss (short review) and Other Things

Things are not going so well here. Somehow, my mother ended up breaking her brand new cellphone. You have no idea on how happy I was to have insurance on our cellphones. When we headed up to the Verizon store, I figured that it would be just filling out a claim and she would walk out with a new phone. Well I was qrong about walking out with the new cellphone thing. I did have to fill out a claim but the issue that I did have was that a new cellphone would be shipped to our house. We did expect it to arrive by Friday but somehow, there was "severe weather" and there is a scheduled delivery for that phone to arrive tomorrow and this was the notification that I got on Friday. The stupid package is only a half an hour away from where I live. A coworker of mine who lives near that area had said that things were fine over there. So I am none to thrilled with UPS. I am wondering what the real issue with the late delivery is since I don't have issues with UPS deliveries. So when my package comes, the guys at the Verizon store will see what they can do with data from the old phone to her new phone and make this phone function better for my mother.

Same family member somehow scheduled something the same day and time as my dentist appointment for getting the rest of my back teeth pulled. So that meant that I had to reschedule my dentist appointment for later this month. I was not happy and it was a whole week of April Fools. I just wanted to get all of this done and over with and move on. I want my busted teeth out because I am tired of not being able to eat well, I am tired of the threat of an infection or I have some kind of tooth infection. I am tired of being in some sort of pain due to my teeth. Health conditions like this drain energy like it's nothing.

I am still testing out more of Rogue Perfumery's line up and this time around, it's Tuberose and Moss. I wasn't expecting too much. There is a whopping tuberose opening with vintage Mitsouko oakmoss. The oakmoss did die off a little bit but remained pretty steady as the tuberose. I did detect a little bit of a whipped cream smell but the whole thing reminded me of Amouage Jubilation 25, maybe a little less rich and a little less dense. I do like Tuberose and Moss but what keeps me from really loving it is that it is so similar to Jubilation 25. So if Jubilation 25 is out of your price range or just a little too much for you, Tuberose and Moss would be an excellent substitute for Jubilation 25. But I do think that eventually I will end up with a bottle of this, even though I have a bottle of Jubilation 25.

I do have to admit that with the three Rogue Perfumery offerings that I have tried thus far, I find the execution of the perfumes are very good. I think that whomever owns Rogue Perfumery has a vison of to make perfumes like they used to and give mainstream perfume houses the middle finger. I think that I made a wise move to buy the discovery set because I like the concepts of this perfume house I do love the Art Deco vibe of the packaging.
