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!

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.

This may mean I require an intervention.

Wearing BPAL Seance this evening, which is thusfar the only rose scent I've ever liked. Usually rose smells old ladyish to me, but this is a fresh, leafy rosewood and is on its way towards seducing me into buying a bottle.

Scents for a pre-teen
Here's a C&P of my earlier post:
Now that we are taking a little BPAL break and testing some more mainstream perfumes, Emma is worried that she isn't going to like any of the samples we've got or that they'll all smell too "old" for her to wear.
Anyone have suggestions for mainstream perfumes that might appeal to the pre-teen?
Of the BPAL stuff we tested, she kept Bread and Butterfly (heavy on the vanilla), Black Cat (mint, chocolate and rose), Titania (flowers), Elf (aspen leaves and honey), and Villain (classic lavender fougere).

Reactions ranged from "oh. oh...yes. YES. YESSSSS..... OMG..... YESSSSSS!" to "Not just no. HAY-ULL NO." (the full-on dipthong sound of which can really only be successfully replicated with the American English of the Southern United States).
(And yes, I ordered a full bottle of the former... Hatta, to be specific)
Now of course this begs the question: what do I do with the stuff I'd be very happy to remove from my house?
