I'm a little sad I spritzed on a bit of the ol' Tresor before leaving the house this morning, since I had a small, happy envelope from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pencat waiting for me in the mail at my office.
I've got three Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab imps to try out, and she also included this wickedly-sweet vial of Pink Sugar, by Aqualina, which is reading as 3 parts cotton candy, 1 nudge of white musk, and a poke in the arm of Love's Baby Soft, which would normally turn me right off, except that it sort of reminds me of this crush I had about 5 or 6 years ago. It's definitely candy-like, and seems like it should come in a lipgloss-sized roller-ball clear applicator, with maybe a gold or pink plastic cap.
Heh, I wasn't too far off:
I might have to put this one away in a drawer, since the musk is really overpowering anything else I might smell in here, heh. :) See, I think that's the thing: musk is not one of my favorite scents, but it's less because of a dislike, and more because to my nose it obliterates any other notes. I suppose this might be a comment for the Duh Department, but musk on others always makes me feel like they're being pushy, and aggressive, not allowing anyone else to have territorial space. I feel pushed back by musk. Does that make sense?
So, I'll give this one a shot, but not until these other lovely little imps have been sampled thoroughly. I do admit, I put a bit of Velvet at my neck already, but it's not reading out very well because of the aforementioned Pink Sugar and the Tresor that's mostly faded, but is still quite present.
