friday free for all

[synecdochic]

Now in the correct place, oops.

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!

Fracas is recognisable as the same girl, but...the newer reformulation is more aggressively sweet and less sensual. It used to be my absolute favourite perfume. Now I still love it, but I'm not sure I don't love Visa just as much. Although the first time I got Fracas I was 14, and I'm willing to admit that part of it may just be that I was so enchanted with something that wasn't Joven or Love's...but I didn't wear anything else for years, and now I only wear it for the days when I wear super sweet (I'm also a lolita). It's more feminine and less female. Which is true of a lot of the Piguet reformulations. The original Piguets were very badly behaved young ladies, but the current Bandit and Visa are more wearable for me than the original.

It's More feminine and less female.

I love that description.

I have only recently gotten into perfumes and so I'm pretty much smelling everything for the first time, which means I'm missing out on knowing what the vintage formulations smell like but also means I'm not pining for them either. LOL
