Oops.

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!

And of course I only remembered about this because I wanted to go back to this week's free-for-all post and comment about the Only Lovers Left Alive decant circle I just opened up.

I am a bad moderator. Heh.

(Speaking of bad moderator, I need to get a spare hour or two and build the tag list for this comm, then post about it. Someone sit on me if I haven't done it by next week.)

While attempting to replicate vintage Shocking, I have technically failed, but discovered something I find increasingly awesome -- Lipstick Rose and Miel de Bois blend really well. The honey isn't drowning absolutely fucking everything else; it's peeling a few layers of infrastructure off Lipstick Rose instead, and making this amazing, big, sweet, still flagrantly artificial but slightly less stylized thing.

But it doesn't have the skank, and skank is what I was in the mood for.

Considering how much I love the scent and how poorly I do with artificials, it IRKS me that a number of areas of my skin react to cinnamon oil. :|

Oh, ick, yes.

Sometimes you can reduce the amount of reaction by putting down a layer of oil or moisturizer first, but sometimes it makes it worse -- it depends on the person.

Fortunately my wrists and boobs don't react, and I can mostly ignore the throat-pulse-points one and it's gone in about twenty minutes. I just have infinite :|-face about it. SERIOUSLY, SKIN?

[synecdochic]

I hear you! I never used to react to cinnamon oil, but about 3/4ths of BPAL's make my skin go all arrgh too.
