So it's great to hear every once in a while that people enjoy what you're doing.

There were plenty more I didn't get around to, though. <br />Tarry?

I'm sorry about that and decided to rectify my lapse. For those of you who write, I'm sure you wonder if anyone is reading? Well,I'm certain that there are bunches of folks who read the marvelous "I Smell Therefore I Am" blog and who are lurkers like me. <br />I check this blog daily to Smedleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-49714996392276193792010-01-02T11:07:21.764-05:002010-01-02T11:07:21.764-05:00Oh, gosh, Brian, you MUST try the Lumiere Noire - ...Oh, gosh, Brian, you MUST try the Lumiere Noire - I don't get cuminy sweat out of it, but I'd say Rose and Narcissus do the Naughty Tango, with Patchouli trying to talk them into making it a threesome.

The former I think I would love: potent rose and cumin? Something like that. The latter I wonder about. It's been described in ways which make it seem ideal. The plum, the aldehydes, etc. But I've also heard that it's subtle.

In several weeks you will notice a pronounced but diffuse sense of bitter regret and localized anomie. We do our best to spread the cheer. Seriously, rut happens. I experienced my first real rut a few months back. Nothing seemed very interesting to me. It passes, unfortunately (says my pocketbook).Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-31791153354840012132010-01-02T10:38:15.940-05:002010-01-02T10:38:15.940-05:00Hi Tania.

There's definitely a tarry quality to them, and I wonder whether that's something shared across the line.

My second was, I haven't smelled most of those; I have nothing to say about 2009.

I'm in a fragrance rut right now and am looking to classic scents to fill the void, but after reading your review I've got to try the Bodicea the Victorious!

Both have this strong burning-rubber note which I'm not mad about. I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's leather.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.com
