Thursday Free-For-All

Before I forget!

This post is a free-for-all for people to:

a) post links to perfume-related content they posted elsewhere (on or off DW)
b) talk about anything they want to talk about that isn't big enough for a full post
c) socialize and hang out without worrying about "off topic"
d) or anything else that comes to mind!

Good points!

I've tried both approaches (three-to-an-arm, washing off) and my own personal problem with those approaches is that on the one hand scents tend to "cling" to my skin (I've used peroxide, alcohol, dish soap, and permutations and combinations thereof, and I still smell at least partly like whatever-it-was) and on the other putting multiple scents to an arm changes all of them, so a scent I like when it's a couple of inches away from another scent on me may not smell so good on its own.

TL;DR, it seems like scents are a bigger "time investment" for me than for some, thanks probably to skin-chemistry REASONS.
