And how we feel about it. I think that would be fun. Maybe I should loan my copy out too... How was that LouLou? Yep, we REALLY need to do a post on stuff we’ve sniffed/bought because of The Guide.

First of all you did the decant thing, which I think is a good idea because it gives you a sense of what you might actually wear. You can't go wrong with the Chanel or the CB I Hate Perfume. (And can I compliment you on your wide range of tastes?) Finally, Black Cashmere is best for cooler weather, but gosh, it's a lovely thing. I hope you like it very much. Cool bottle either way.

In the last month: Red Flower organic Guaiac & Juliette Has a Gun Lady Vengeance: I made it through a decent sized sample of both and when BeautyHabit said 25% off I reached for my plastic. Chanel No. 5 EDT - Tried it in a duty free on a long lay over at the behest of The Guide. Like LT, liked the EDT better than the EDP or pure parfum. Loved it so much in fact that my friend, a non-perfumista, told me I looked weird because I kept sniffing my wrists. Promptly purchased NIB off Ebay for decent discount. CB I Hate Perfume Smokey Tabacco Accord -- Reminds me of my grandfather, who smoked pipes when I was little. He's gone ten years in August and when I smelled it I thought, "This is one comfort I cannot surpass." Bought straight from CB. DK Black Cashmere -- Bought on the cheap NIB off Ebay the day Now Smell This! announced it was discontinued completely unsniffed. Still haven't cracked open the box! Ha! I'm such a follower.

I also get something that smells like violets to me (possible it's just my nose making something appear out of that green leaf accord) on the opening. I love the smell of honeysuckle, and this is probably the most wearable and elegant version of a honeysuckle perfume that I've come across. And if that weren't enough to recommend it, the drydown on me lasts a good 7 hours, which, on my skin, is practicaly unheard of for a floral-based 'fume. BTW, that milky-figgy-coconutty aspect on the JM Dark Amber & Ginger thing is continuing to mystify me--it changes character with the humidity and the temp, it seems!
