Profile Information

  • Interests
    I love reading good books, actually reading just about anything. I love good movies and museums. I like learning more about the world, which is part of why I'll read just about anything. I've amassed a lot of useless information, but I forget enough that it's not really a hassle. Right now I'm interested in linguistics, especially the history of English. I like travelling. I believe that you have to try everything at least once. And I want to learn to cook as well as my mom

    Disclaimer: this is my very first review, so while I'm aping the style of other people on the forum,, I really don't know what I'm doing. In the bottle: unfortunately, the very first thing I thought of was that liquid soap that's found in public bathrooms everywhere, which is kind of a rosey scent, now that I think about it. Still, not an amazing association. I sniffed the bottle again, and this time got something lemony, probably the bergamot, but it just disappeared after that. Wet: This smells to me exactly like this kind of Indian dessert I really like, whose name I can't remember, but which is a kind of pudding with pistachios, covered in rosewater syrup. Very milky, creamy, sweet, with a rosewater note. Dry: The same notes are still there, but there's something spicier going on. Then that dampened down, and it really does smell powdery. When I saw that in other reviews, I wasn't sure what that meant, because powder is a state of material rather than smell, but this certainly has a powderiness to it. It doesn't seem to travel very far... I put this on my wrists and neck, but I can only really smell it if I bring a wrist right up under my nose. So, I wish there was a stronger version.
