I'm wearing Amouage Opus III today, which is really lovely, except that it has an odd candied, powdery, violet-y, spicy, something or other going, on which is driving me just a little bit crazy. It's saying "come here, go away". And that, of course, means I have to have more of it.melisand61https://www.blogger.com/profile/12802652658028346558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-35333749875558274702010-09-03T15:47:41.780+01:002010-09-03T15:47:41.780+01:00melisand61, White is nice, White loves me, which m...melisand61, White is nice, White loves me, which means I spend more time focusing on Ouarzazate.

Is Ouarzazate the piney one? If so, wasn't really my favourite. I like the idea of Avignon, but on me it just smells mouldy and musty. I keep it around in case it suddenly decides to smell like I want it to.<br />And Dan, I don't reveal my scent obsession to anyone - for some reason I find it embarrassing as well.

It will bless you with its graces for an hour or two then stop returning your texts. So, what's wrong with White? Snuggly, comforting. Too nice?melisand61https://www.blogger.com/profile/12802652658028346558noreply@blogger.com
