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've got a bunch of BPAL reviews here: http://woldy.dreamwidth.org/tag/interesting+smells . The posts are flocked, but I'm happy to add people :-)

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.

Have you tried Bess? It's the only rose BPAL I've liked so far. On me, it's a grapey rose, which sounds weird, but it keeps the rose from being cloying somehow.

I did try Bess and the grape spirit went the wrong way for me - somehow it evoked mothballs and air freshener :-(
