Got an imp of La Petite Mort from a swap today.

I am not sure if powder is the smell of failure, but that's all I have got to show from this imp.

The same fate befell me when trying out Erato, so perhaps its a hint that these girls just aren't for me.

Very sad.

Even before she arrived, I knew I couldn't possible love her as much as her sister Snow White.

Still when Rose Red landed in my letterbox, I was smitten in another way.

She isn't just another rose perfume. Rather she carries with her that

green smell, one gets when you snap a rose of the bush. The smell of the sap

& disturbed or awoken rose as its liberated from the bush & stolen away by human

hands. Amazing, how can someone make a perfume to capture an instance.

...and how can a rose perfume conjure the all day feeling that someone at any moment

might realize that it was I who stole away the roses

Oh dear. Snake Oil seems love everyone...well everyone but me.

I have been all about vanilla for ages.

Snake oil was a new twist and sounded like it was for me.

But my swap was for naught, as Snake Oil went on like some pungent liquorice /medicine smell.

And checking it now, it has so remained.

Tragic.
