BPAL - the sniffing, and Zephyr
sniff-fest this evening. well attended by myself, leesh, sarah, erin, and pinky.
one of the most interesting moments was when folks worked up their courage to smell black annis. lots of deep sniffs off the vial, and puzzled looks. a very strange and dark fragrance.
alicia was kind enough to give me her imp of Zephyr, which handn't worked on her. i'm wearing it right now, and from a soapy start, it has dried to a wonderful light musky floral that's a sort of "second skin" scent on me. love it right this moment.
my collection seemed small and odd and i didn't have anything to give away, sadly. i look at the 'paid' page on my spreadsheet and it's frustrating. so many things i want to smell and try, and they are coming, but it will be so long.
i also got to try a tiny dab of mi-go brain canister and it smelled lovely after drydown. i think i've found a full 5ml bottle-- possibly complete with brain!-- for a very fair price.
hope, hope, hope the evil grapefruit is coming my way tomorrow.
note to self: ultraviolet might be a good thing to wear to a show. not too girly, not too overpowering, but very interesting. although something with musk would probably get me noticed more.

I had to get out my own "pamplemousse" grapefruit scent to wear today, after last night's sniff of the bpal.
those were some wonderful scents - thank you for sharing!
