Comment on From Zero to Forty (ml) in less than 15… years: Bvlgari Black by Undina

I was “into perfumes” by that age already

Since L’Heure Bleue doesn’t behave on my skin I’m not familiar with it enough to make that comparison. But if by Fall (I’ll be traveling soon and then it’llbe too hot to send perfumes) you don’t come across Black somewhere at a store I’llsend you some to test.

You were a tomboy! It’s a long way to go, from the being the extra “boy” in the game to a perfume enthusiast and writer.

Bulgari Black is something I’ve never tried. Rubber worries me, although maybe it shouldn’t. So is it contemporary L’Heure Bleue?

Comment on Perfume Layering: Truth or Dare? by Undina

Yeah, with the number of really great perfumes in one’s collection that don’t get enough attention as is it’s hard to justify making even bigger number by engaging combinatorics.

Thank you, Vanessa. I think Rusty enjoyed that part the most (and I tried my best not to let him to knock off my new bottle to the ground).

I’m glad I finally “found” this perfume: it is just the right combination of strange and comforting.

As a former owner of CK Truth I am also most surprised to learn there was ever a related set of Oil Essences. I am a reluctant layerer it must be said, I think because I am overfaced already with the choice in my collection. If I started to imagine what permutations would be possible if I took up layering, it would surely do my head in!

How funny that you came round to this perfume all those years later, despite the unfortunate memories associated with its shape! Black was one of my early T K Maxx bargains and one of the best purchases I have made in my five year fumie career. And as ever, Rusty’s hockey puck batting action in the photos is the icing on the…er…ice? ; – )

your comments about the boys not minding your company 3-4 years later!

I’d like to think my bratty phase didn’t last all that long…but of course I am not the most objective judge. That said, I do get along with my brother. As the middle child, I ended up having the best relationship with each of my siblings and really, to this day, they still instinctively use me as go-between until I roll my eyeballs and say “talk to him/her directly!”

So something that is almost half of the “almost free” is like finding money, right?
