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!

Two scents from the Only Lovers Left Alive LE series: Kit (which I want to love because of the sandalwood, and which I'm trying again because I just caught synecdochic's heads up that it's in solution and has to be remixed before application, and Funnel of Love.

Also Severin (given the ostensible connections with that one, I'm quite disappointed in my disappointment though grateful as it, too (I believe) is LE.

And Emathides, which smelled to me like the sort of car freshener one could hang (if one was the sort of person who does this) from one's rear view mirror to "freshen" one's car.

Oh, that's disappointing. :(

I'm assuming that you're a Snape fan? If so, back before the BPAL forums went down, I read all the reviews of every scent I tested and I learned that the forums had once voted Incantation as the fragrance Severus Snape most likely smells like. Just FYI

You should make a review post here or in your journal link to it here and then list at the bottom of the post the stuff you're willing to trade or sell.

I've been able to get rid of all the stuff I didn't like, get some great stuff in return, and make some good new friends doing swaps.

I don't see disappointing; I see useful datapoints. :-)

Thank you for the advice.

That's a great way of looking at it. You can't figure out what you do like without smelling some duds.
