So today I wore Tweedledum, which turned out to be a fruity, sweet patchouli. I liked it, but it was really faint -- have to try more on next time. It had some crustiness on the edge, so I wonder if it might have got diluted somehow.

Tonight I'm wearing Hungry Ghost Moon, another discontinued "sniffie." It's a bit strong for me. Smoky musky sandalwoody. I feel like it should be worn by someone with a stronger personality. Or maybe just different skin chemistry.

It really makes a difference when a friend smells something on me and said, "mm, I like that." I mean a difference in how I perceive the smell. So in order to give everything a proper chance, I'm trying to pretend somebody whose opinion I respect just told me they really like it on me. It's not working for Hungry Ghost, though.
