Weekly Free-For-All

(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.)

and yeah, I think immortelle is practically unheard of outside the classical perfume and skincare world.

Yeah, it gets used a bit in aromatherapy, mostly under its alt!name helichrysum, because it's very good for certain specific things (healing tendons and connective tissue is the one I'm most familiar with).

But because it smells Kind Of Weird (rather than connoting "relaxing" or "luxurious") and also tends to be relatively expensive, it's one of the less well-known oils.

Makes sense.
