Laura Biagiotti Venezia? I used to wear that in college. Memories. Then I switched to Safari, which smelled slightly of bug spray and I ended up swapping it with, I’m very scared to admit, Eternity! I really shouldn’t announce these things.

I’m hanging on to my last drops/dregs of vintage Coco and Mitsouko because facing the “new and improved” versions will make me cry!

FYI Ava-Luxe Bakir is a great dupe of the original and quite affordable!

My Poison story: Back in the 8os when I was a teenager, my parents made me take a job at a fast food restaurant in order for me to prove I wasn’t an entirely useless git (still working on that). One of the other girls working there (Teri) liberally doused herself in her mother’s bottle of Poison before every shift…

I’d like to suggest that one has never experienced the truly hideous potential of this monster until smelling it up against the stink factor of old fryer oil and chemically re-hydrated pickle chips. Customers would come in, take one sniff of Teri at the register and flee for their olfactory lives! Brilliant! It was like some kind of perfume guerrilla art

Long story short, our manager (Creepy Larry) tried to ban her from wearing it at work. When she wouldn’t desist, I rushed to her defense, arguing her constitutional right to smell like a maraschino cherry dropped into a slaughterhouse, thus getting myself fired alongside her and beginning my life long affection for its awfulness.

Have a merry holiday. Looking forward to hearing all about the scented presents you all receive.

Angel was my next stalker!!! I still wear it. In moderation, though (if that’s possible).
