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.)

I'm not wearing any perfume but I did shower with my preferred scented soap, which is an Avocado-Birch/Eucalyptus shea butter soap by The Blue Ridge Soap Shed, which is faintly masculine and smells fantastic on me. And it sticks pretty well to my skin, without having an excessive throw, since I showered with it last night and have gone out and then also done five hours of massage therapy since then.

(Also, I am discovering, from poking at the web-site, that it does not appear to be available in and of itself, as opposed to as part of a sampler. *CRANKY*)

Oh, man, I hate it when you find a scent you love but the company that makes it doesn't think of it as worth selling separately. My shaving cream is like that -- Black Oak by Basin White. Smells amazing on me, wish like hell I could get it in a lotion in addition to the shaving cream (or a sugar scrub, or, you know, any of the rest of Basin's products), but they only make it in the shaving cream and all their other products are all only available in floral or fruity scents. Grump.

At a guess, based on how they make their soap, I should be able to call them and get it by itself, that it's just their web-site doesn't have it listed. Unless they discontinued it and it's only lingering on in the sampler I got awhile back! BECAUSE THAT WOULD JUST FIGURE.

It's a bit strong smelling by itself, but it settles in as this perfect, subtle "masculine" scent on my skin, it's super comforting, and I want more of it so i can ALWAYS SHOWER WITH THIS. It literally makes me more likely to shower, which is a good thing!
