    Reading, films(lucky enough to live near the George Eastman House/Dryden theater and the annual High Falls Film Festival). I'm an avowed anglophile-LOVE "Little Britain", Monty Python and junky English women's magazines like the dearly departed "Eve". BPAL (or course) and all sorts of music--currently am in my dead of winter Lisa Gerrard phase. Especially love music that "tells a tale"--anything from Grateful Dead to Loreena McKennit to Stan Rogers. I LOVE chocolate--any type.

    I HATE jasmine and never would have considered trying this scent if I hadn't bought it in my decant set. Moroccan jasmine must be something different because I LOVE this scent. There's something about it that is reminiscent of my beloved Aizen-Myoo. In the bottle: I smell berries. A sour berry with a hint of floral in the background Wet: more berries. I don't really want to smell like a blue/raspberry Drydown: what is this? Yum yum yum. A crisp, fresh oriental scent which is a little tart-berry where Aizen-Myoo is more grapefruit. Don't be afraid, it just dries down into the most wonderful fresh and clean not really fruity/not really floral scent and lasts and lasts. Reminiscent also of Hungry Ghost Moon. Bright and cheery and optimistic. It's going to be a great day!

    Skinny dip, skinny dip y'all! In the bottle: first impression kicked off a frustrating misplaced "smell memory"- what is this? Where do I know this from? It smells spicy and yummy and soothing. Very earthy and I can pick out the patchouli and sandalwood on the background of vanilla. Wet: Even more frustrating. This is one of the holy grails of scent. This is one of the "ones"--I know it is just really "me". It is becoming even smoother and rounds out more so than in the bottle. Dry down: I've got it! This smells EXACTLY like Lush's dearly departed skinny dip shower gel on me. (I know LUSH has the shower creme thingy or whatever they call it but I can't stand the slippery vehicle that dissolves after 2 seconds in the shower.). Throw is not very far (stays close to the skin). I can still smell it a few hours after I apply it but only if I smell closely. No matter, this is worth reapplying. Yummy yummy Yummy!
