Having sniffed Many of the Things today...

So dormouse_in_tea brought a trove of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfumes with her. Today we Smelled Things.

Many things.

'I need to breathe steam for a second here to get the colliding scent memories out of my sinus cavities' levels of many things.

As such! I have learned a few things which are Useful to Know.

( for example )

Also, lighter ambers are more attractive than I expect. As are lighter musks.

Also also, I Like Sandalwood. (Which I sort of knew in that I knew I liked things made of sandalwood and frequently come home from massages smelling like a Buddhist temple, but: I Like Sandalwood)

Despite the 'sniff with caution' warning on frankincense, many of the fifteen (plus three I knew I was getting on first acquaintance in the bottle) scents I need to test over the next few days include it as a note.

We'll see how that goes.
