You're right, it's somewhat the odd man out, quieter and not as guffingly big as the others. But it's not cold on me, rather it's quiet and gently snuggly.

For me Musc Nomade is the one i am not fond of, loving the other tree, but i can see the similarities between Amb Fet, My Ard and Incens Flamb, alas, it is normal i like them all, but with Musc Nomade?? for me it is the odd one in the familly, cold instead of warm, kind of dirty (at least to my nose) instead of ElenaBuenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714217871120526563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-57724118721709237912010-09-10T05:27:28.736+01:002010-09-10T05:27:28.736+01:00You're right, Nathan - Les Orientalistes do se...You're right, Nathan - Les Orientalistes do seem amenable to customized layering.Katie Puckrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816871787892998256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-5052362818537312592010-09-09T22:12:33.684+01:002010-09-09T22:12:33.684+01:00You know what makes Myrrhe Ardente a-okay?

At least until I arrived. <br /><br />The day I realized I could turn down birthday dinners with my family and suffer no consequences was the happiest day of my life. That or the day I played the Happy Birthday song twelve times in a row.

For some of us, (well for me anyhow)the prank would have caused a resentful glare from the opening notes of the song. Perhaps I am, and have always been, a party-pooper. A hopeless birthday killjoy. <br /><br />The Happy Birthday Song sets my teeth on edge. As a child, I held my hands over my ears when it was sung at the few parties that I remember.

I happened to be awake in the middle of the night (my time) when you first thought I was Katie, and I started contemplating the merging of my perfume personality with hers. I concluded it was an honor and that allowed me to finally fall asleep.
