This is one of those posts where I'm, like, 'I haven't posted in a while, but now I've found Jesus, and I'm going to post all the time or at least try or explain why I haven't posted or say that I'm drunk." So yes. Obviously the Jesus part is tongue in cheek.
So I haven't posted in 10000 years, but maybe I will sort of almost kinda in a way post more in the future or something? So there you go.
I would have posted about aromachemicals right now, but my Nilsmonster just held one of his boxes in front of my nose. See, he has these wooden boxes that he occasionally asks for scents to put in. So I put scents in. Usually heavy woody or woodamber notes that take forever to disappear, like Timberol. But in this case it was loaded with Cashmeran. And it's STILL in my nose, the Cashmeran. I like this note, but it makes me think of hairspray. Because I was doing a lot of stuff with it in my bathroom back in my Mom's house, and I always smelled it the next day or five, and I was like, 'It smells like hairspray.' Even though it doesn't smell like hairspray PER SE, but possibly as a component thereof. Eller? Anyway, it has a chemical nuance. And a clean pine nuance as well, but the 'clean' part is very chemical. And that's why I really don't like Dans Tes Bras. Because I find it harsh and chemical. Am I the only one? I've never liked it.
But continuing with this streamofconsciousness, I do like Musc Ravageur. Yes, it's much more than musk, and someone who smelled it on me thought it was Shalimar. But I do like it. Better than Muscs Koublai Kahn, which I find animal-in-a-Costasuol-kind-of-way but not so much that I'm bowled over. I like the vanillic spiciness of MR. I might would get it as a splurge, but I'd always wonder if I should have gotten Carnal Flower, which is closer, in my mind, to genius. Sigh. This is Sweden for you, folks. There is one--count ONE--place where I can buy them, apart from online. So I have to choose well, because I can't just waltz into the department store and spray them on, mind you. So do I buy Carnal Flower, which I would seldom wear but it's perfect, or Musc Ravageur, which I could wear much more often if everyone here weren't "allergic" to noticeable fragrances? Oh me. My life if so hard.
So I feel like I should talk about aromachemicals more, since I've gotten a bunch (and used them up) since I last seriously reported. Tabanon. Undecavertol. So many others. In some cases I'm terribly embarrassed, because I sort of remember what they smell like, but not in detail. And every now and then someone reads this blog and comments and I'm like, "Shit. People actually read this sometimes." And then I'm like, "They must think I'm an idiot because I don't dilute things and my 'smell readings' are so amateur." For example: rum acetal. I don't remember what I thought when I first smelled it. I think I was like, 'Yeah, this would totally work in tobacco scents.' But I had my monster smell it, and he was like, 'Tequila. No, liquor. It smells like liquor. Maybe rum.' And this was without me showing him the label. Interesting was his take on Dimetol: 'It smells like Gain [detergent]' Yes. I think. I had seen the descriptor of dihydrolinalool attached to it, so my impression was, 'Yes, it's like a super fresh linalool. I can see how it would be used in bergamot things.' Anyway.....
So anyway, there's really no point to this post. I guess I just wanted to feel my fingers typing again, so I could see what it's like. But I would like to start posting again, so we'll see. And that's the bagoosh for now.
Flerp!
