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!

I have found that dabbing some 4711 over the top of whatever else it is keeps it vicious for much MUCH longer than it would be left to my skin's devices on its own; she's found similar. Have you had any success with layering like that?

I mean, Djedi keeps its smell of delightful post-coital armpit, but it's also almost impossible to find and hideously expensive, so I don't count it.

Have you tried Bandit?

That's hysterical.
I forget, do you BPAL at all? If so, and if you like smoky scents, you might want to give Brimstone or Djinn a whirl, or some of the Phoenix Steamworks line. (I'd suggest Agnes Nutter, but that one has enough underlying sweetness that it'd probably go warm and snuggly on you.)

Luperci is the only exception, thankfully. Right now, I'm trying Odeur 53 with a small dash of Tar. I'm thinking if only I could amp it up with a little more leather, it might be nice.

Gotcha. I've found a few awesome leathery BPALs, but if what you've tried so far has gone Yankee-Candle on you, I doubt these would be much different. (Still: Iago (leather, vetiver, black musk) or Hatta (balsam, brown leather, cinnamon) -- Hatta is one of the ones sold through the Century Guild gallery, while Iago is general-catalog. I also like Severin (leather, black tea, Earl Grey) but it's discontinued and harder to find, and I think you'd probably find it too scented-candle on you. There's also Rogue (leather, hemp rope, rosin) which is also general-catalog.)
Body chemistry! Such a weird and personal thing.
