Friday Free-for-all

Yay, the last backordered scent from my BPAL decant circle is out for delivery with the mailman! (I need to write up a step-by-step guide to everything I did this time around that made it sooooo much easier than last, in case it might be useful for others in the future.)

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!

Mostly this week I am deeply amused that Perfume describes ELdO's Vierges et Torreros as "Bulgari Black without the green velvet that made the original so plush."

On me, Bulgari Black spends the first five minutes smelling like I've doused myself in a bottle of very expensive vodka; the next five minutes like I decided to chase it with a bottle of very cheap vanilla essence; and the subsequent six hours smelling like vanilla cookies fresh out of the oven.

I therefore conclude that "vanilla cookies minus green velvet" smells like a three-day sex-marathon with no shower breaks.

Hahaha.

Skin chemistry is so weird.
