Perfume Reviews
Jul. 19th, 2016 09:10 pmEmma and I tested some perfume tonight. I haven't tested anything in quite awhile (despite having an enormous stash), and my nose has atrophied as a result. I had a hard time distinguishing individual notes in what we tested tonight. Oh, well. Only thing to do for it is to practice more often! :)
This is not what we tested tonight but another chip at the backlog of perfumes we tested ages ago.
( Multiple BPALs )
Take away musings from tonight's testing session plus typing up these notes:
1. I can almost always tell how much I will like a BPAL by the color of the perfume in the vial. The darker the perfume, the more probable my distaste. I have almost universally liked the lighter colored perfumes we've tried because they are based on white musks, citruses, and teas.
2. I should not despair that my nose is entirely gone. When I went to an upscale shopping area in Atlanta with my friends a few weeks ago, one of the stores was burning a Diptyque candle. I instantly gagged and thought, "That is some jasmine, there," and I was totally right. LOL
