SotD PP Poeme. I spritzed a teensy tiny drop on as I thought it might be a bit of a heavy too sweet minger. Surprisingly I like it. It reminded me instantly of both Anais Anais and Red Door and I was chuffed to see that proper perfumers who can tell these things (unlike me with my "sweet" "nice" descriptions 
) do compare it to Red Door. Nobody seems to like it much- Bois de Jasmine calls it a "creative and commercial failure"
After 2 hours the tiny spritz has almost gone so I can have a new SoTD!
Obsession/Dune- I would have said Dune was an ozonic, but never Obsession. Both have been important to me in the past -Obsession late 80s and Dune mid 90s. I've rediscovered the beauty of Dune thanks to firstly a sample when I thought "hmm, this is not the Dune I remember" and then OC's grandmother's decants which I snapped up and is the Dune I remember. It's one of my comfort food perfumes, and there is nothing better than clean pyjamas, a good book and a spray of Dune in the evening. I think LT was drunk when he said it was bleak, because I can think of many "bleak" perfumes but Dune to me is warm and cosy. The perfumer at SH that I was speaking to (despite working for Chanel) agreed with me that Dune was superior to Allure (the woman he was actually talking to was saying Allure was her signature, I chipped in and he agreed with me and we sent her off to sniff some Dune)
I need to bag some old Obsession because the new stuff is a shadow of its former skanky self.
I love the idea of a scent journal, and it just so happens I have a beautiful and empty Rosetta Stone journal from the British Museum sitting right in front of me. I always kept a diary (from 77-97) and religiously wrote what perfume I was wearing but now those days are gone, I think I need to note the perfume-days somewhere else.
Cheap you need to smell Miss Dior Originale, not Miss Dior. Again, the SAs will come at you with all kinds of PMs but if you persist they'll reach for the original for you. Speaking of which, whilst clearing out the perfume boxes yesterday (nothing so exciting today, I'm doing bedding ) I came across the massive FB of Miss Dior Eau de Cologne I snapped up on ebay last year and a quick search shows me one with a £226 asking price. 
Mine was, 33 euro.
Judy, 
for the tooth ongoing problems.
Back to my sheets and pillowcases.
