Yes, it's nasty but it allowed me to detect it in many of my favorites. Unbeknownst to me I'm a huge civet fan!<BR/><BR/>Also, galbanum - this nearly singes your nostrils - but it's amazing. And, other true EOs like mimosa, cassie, agarwood - all equally fascinating...<BR/>Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164551758520564300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-7475277718816068912009-03-29T02:56:00.000-04:002009-03-29T02:56:00.000-04:00Sorry...

It embarrasses me to report that I wore Kouros regularly as a young twenty-something... what was I thinking? Couldn't I smell myself? Truth is, I still love that stuff, but I can't bear to break out a spray vial of it more than three or four times a year, and I rarely wear it in public.

My friend from Belgium brings me a case every December. But lemon curd you say - with peanut butter? Hmmm. I'll have to try that. I love lemon curd but only with the traditional stuff like scones (Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164551758520564300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-73899150866799062572009-03-15T09:55:00.000-04:002009-03-15T09:55:00.000-04:00Remember when John Corbett played Chris, the DJ/sp...Remember when John Corbett played Chris, the DJ/spirit guide/ex-con on "Northern Exposure?" I had a crush on him then fer sure. I keep waiting for his character on "US of Tara" to finally get mad though.<BR/><BR/>I think the only perfumes with real civet I have are the really old extraits that were my mother's -- Arpege and Moment Supreme. There is some Civetone in the "notes" kit I have.

(See? I'm not even saying what it is...) Suffice to say, I love it, will hoard it, and am not sure if I'll ever buy it again.)<BR/><BR/>Ah, co-worker Sarah is in for much fine. Nice that she has a perfume mentor in her midst.

Leather & civet, mainly. As the year has gone on, and I've sniffed more & varied fragrances, I've learned that I am enjoying & craving stronger scents. I can now wear frags with those notes. <BR/><BR/>Fluffernutters are glorious treats. Of kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14383537613628415207noreply@blogger.com
