Weekly Free-For-All

[synecdochic]

(I might move this around in the week a few times until I work out when it works for me to post these.)

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!

Whatcha wearing today? (Me: BPAL's "Brimstone", which I am absolutely perplexed by. I can't decide if it smells amazing or hideous on me.)

Sarah and I tried Dirty this week! My money is on plumeria, white musk, and orris, and I'm iffy on whether there's also pear. (I was amping the plumeria and white musk so loudly that I couldn't ID the rest.) There's at least one other thing in there (it's whatever note that goes peppery on me after about 45 minutes), but I couldn't figure it out.

The forums seem to think Shanghai and Embalming Fluid are similar!

Hmmm, orris! That could be. Several of my yes-good testers have had orris in it, so I wouldn't be surprised to be reacting to that so positively. Pear, possibly? I smelled something fruit very faintly, under my TROPIC BEACH feelings. XD

Orris is one of those notes that appears in SO MANY THINGS and can be really nice or really Bounty-dryer-sheet, depending. (I did get a bit of Bounty dryer sheet from Dirty, but not in a totally bad way? So!)

Hahahaha, yes! I do get that clean laundry feeling. XD Sometimes it's overpowering but it didn't happen in Dirty, for which I am much pleased. It's facedown in fresh linens, not dryer sheets stuffed up the nose. XD
