I could have sworn we'd talked about these! *laugh* Well, welcome to another weird, fannish hobby!!
The only regular old perfume that I wear regularly is "Tea for Two" from L'Artisan, but the BPAL scents with similar notes (ginger, tea, more ginger) have been hit-or-miss because their ginger is so easily overwhelmed by whatever else is in there.
Yeah! Most perfumes are unidentifiable flowers + that weird alcohol/chemical bitterness (aldehyde, I guess) or so many things blended together that it smells like the equivalent of throwing the contents of your fridge into a blender and eating the resulting slurry. Er, maybe I just don't have a very sophisticated nose.
Have you ever tried the soaps and lotions from Lush? Lots of BPAL fans are into Lush too (and they do the same descriptive blogging!) I think they have a store in Bethesda. The soaps are so pretty too...
