Oops, I Did It Again
With a collection currently numbering 190, I had no business ordering another bottle of perfume unsniffed.
Today's delivery: Cèdre by Serge Lutens. By the way, aedes.com, it's an accent grave over that e, not an accent aigu. You know, the kind that slopes downward: è, not é. Tsk, tsk. You're too klassy for such a mistake.
Serge does woods, amber, and spices like nobody else. So I took a chance. And now I'm sitting here, nasal passages aflame, wondering how I ended up with this so-sharp-you-could-poke-someone's-eye-out-with-it combination of tuberose and cinnamon. The effect is not unlike sticking one's nose in a bag of broken, dusty SweeTarts. And I was worried that the cedar would be too sharp. Dang.
Please, God, let it mellow with the drydown. *crosses fingers*
Back to Ambre Sultan for me. Sigh.
UPDATE: It did mellow somewhat with the drydown. By "drydown" I mean 2 hours time and a sweaty workout. This is going to be one of those spray-today-walk-through-the-mist-on-Tuesday scents. Oh well, at least the bottle will last.

*sharp* cinnamon and tuberose? wow, I'm sorry, K. I was kind of hoping *wonderful,* not sharp. xoxo
Well, keep in mind that when pregnant, our senses change as well. And how often, speaking from my own experiences, do I first find something not so pleasing, only to fall into mad love with it again.
Enjoy your new discovery, my friend.
Hey K, looks like you have a porn trolling commenter, too! These fake bloggers for the webcamsingles.com/adultactioncam.com or whatever are really getting on my nerves now.
Gah! And I was so annoyed I forgot to add my sympathies over your expensive unsniffed experiment. Sharp, spicy cinnamon you say? Strangly I now find myself interested. Eh, maybe I'll get around to locating a small sample or decant on ebay eventully.
i haven't tried it yet and all the notes sound so good but why did he add tuberose in here? I don't mind tuberose but it seems like that Sesame Street song "One of these things is not like the other."
