Two sprays next time.<br /><br />Yeah, I wish that Jeaux de Peau didn't stay funny for quite so long; I'd like it to develop to the grainy/dry phase a good deal faster.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-68208707543274444962011-12-22T20:42:21.519-08:002011-12-22T20:42:21.519-08:00Yo, APB!

When I lived in the Bay Area, the Nordstrom's perfume department at Stanford Mall was so iffy that I continue to have trouble believing how good it is at Stanford. But I suspect the Portland one will now be my center for Chanel perfumes. <br /><br />Sweet, huh? I need to pay better attention next time.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-26611532714736722042011-12-22T20:40:43.984-08:002011-12-22T20:40:43.984-08:00Yo, Mals!

But I do love my medicinal perfumes - they work particularly well when I'm in a bad mood - so I'm going to give it another chance or three.<br /><br />I must give Smell Bent a try. And I think I do need to get a decant of 31 RC; it's been days since I wrote this post (I am such a comment Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-79693130067971387932011-12-22T20:38:07.314-08:002011-12-22T20:38:07.314-08:00Yo, Frida!

By the time they're there, it would be easy to have lost interest and stopped sniffing. I'd especially recommend spraying on a bit of Serge Noire and ignoring it for a good two and a half hours.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-29890626836181171432011-12-19T10:12:24.949-08:002011-12-19T10:12:24.949-08:00I found Vitriol d'Oeillet medicinal at first, ...I found Vitriol d'Oeillet medicinal at first, but it soon got super soft and silky, like a Bas de Soie for carnation.

Whenever I stay in Portland, I like to stay at a hotel that is also very close to there and take advantage of the tax free shopping.<br /><br />Vitriol d'Oeillet did nothing for me, and I like medicinal too. I seem to recall it having an odd sweetness that made the whole thing feel like an upset stomach!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-79455222425366919502011-12-14T10:45:48.128-08:002011-12-14T10:45:48.128-08:00I rather enjoyed Vitriol d'Oeillet.

Somebody at Smell Bent oughta have a go at something like it - it would fit right into the SB range, and it would then be in my price range as well.<br /><br />My 31 RC decant is dangerously low.
