Interesting that this scent pulls people in different directions. I think people are forgetting what a monsoon is -- a disturbance in nature...so why not a disturbing fragrance? I think Ellena is dead on with the impression. It's a good thing I like melon notes because the note juts out on my skin. The cumin does make it tolerable and takes some of the sweetness out. I think he did good :)>- It bugs me that Chandler started sounding more like a chemist tasting a pot of ragout and growling over the ingredients and proportions, but I do admire the honesty.

I tend to describe things in color--equally hard to defend. But something about Burr's writing style makes me want to poke him gently with a stick...in a friendly kind of way...just to see if there's a human being in there! Yeah, that makes sense.

Therese isn't a fragrance that would have crossed my mind for a comparison. Huh, that’s interesting. Therese isn’t a fragrance that would have crossed my mind for a comparison.

And I kind of liked the way Burr used the lighting in his description. I know, that stuff can make your eyes roll. But seriously, even for amateur bloggers like me, trying to find a new, precise way to capture the way something SMELLS and not make it sound exactly like the last fifteen times I described jasmine or what have you... it's hard. I can feel perfume in terms of light and darkness (although I agree that'd be darned impossible to quantify.)
