Friday Free-for-all

[synecdochic]

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!

Oooooooh sounds like you are skin-twins with my girlfriend (and to a lesser extent with me).

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?

Dune extrait + vintage Jicky extrait, weirdly. Closest to lingering filth.

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.

I don't think it was the vintage Jicky but it was the EDP I tested, and it just smelled like innocuous powdery sweetness on me.

Have you tried Bandit?

[minim_calibre]

Bandit is pleasant but floral. These things have so much potential in the bottle, too!

I got almost not floral off Bandit. On me, it smelled almost entirely of leather (a very true leather scent) and stale cigarette smoke. Just a waft of something sweet underneath. I'm glad to have smelled it, but I didn't like it all that much. LOL
