Hour and a half later, nada. So far the experiment is a bust. Next step: think I'll try a double application of Vaseline before spritzing...

We're at Naughtyland!!!< :-p Nothing sticks to me except Fracas (which sticks to everything), Joy (ditto) and the old Carons and Guerlains (try washing Bellogia off - g'wan, I dare ya>:/ All the newer scents, esp. JCE's stuff, is gone in a wink, alas. That's what makes me so nervous about Poive S . @ $180 a pop I would like it to last more than 25 minutes. Yay! We’re at Naughtyland!!!< :-p

My skin eats lots of things, and anything with cumin becomes all cumin, all the time. Imagine the horror of Arabie turning to taco mix! Don’t feel bad–I have notoriously weird skin chemistry as well.

Then, the weirdest thing happened. First, it's a HUGE seller around here, people in D.C. like discreet scents for work. I became aware I kept smelling it on *other* people around me in close spaces (elevator, metro). It's got a fairly distinctive smell. So I thought, well, I guess I can only smell it on other people. Then I wound up with my fifth sample or something and figured WTH and threw it on. Then I decided I *can* smell it on me, but not on my skin -- it's one of those weird aura scents that hangs around me, but I can't find it if I look for it. I do think it lasts longer when I put it on fabric. I smelled it on a raincoat collar 2 weeks later. The first two or three times I could BARELY smell the Prada Iris.
