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.)

...if you find either of these things, let me know. I would overcome my strong aversion to mainstream perfume to at least TRY it.

Seriously, I would wear the shit out of a perfume that smelled like Fernet.

(Fernet: I got turned onto it by a bartender who sent a round to our table because the cocktail pairing dinner we were at had been a gustatorially challenging one, ie, there was a shit-ton of fat and spices and the combination was a bit stomach-distressing and because our bartenders. Being me, I tried a sip of it and went, huh, and finished it. Tried it again at a later date and basically fell for it, at that point. ...my love of Fernet later led to hilarity of said same bartender sending a round to my table at a post-filmshoot celebration and our principal actor, on seeing me and my husband take our shots and do them as shots because, oooh hey Fernet, did the same... well, he'd never had Fernet before. His face was a picture.)

Comme des Garcons original smells like gin to me, although a gin light on juniper and heavier on the botanicals. Akin to Aviation Gin.
