eye of the storm

Took a zen break today and broke out the Sea of Glass from my current BPAL pile to sniff, and I started trying to write an extended review for the BPAL scents and then realized that I have an absolute lack of
1) vocabulary
2) scent sense
I have no clue what I'm smelling half the time. huh. 'cause I know what I like but damned if I'm able to figure out what it is or why I do.

...I think it's like some people complain about when trying to review vids. huh.

In any case I find it funny that both my memory and my sense of smell is shot to hell because of the connections to scent and memory ::wry grin:: it's like that side of the brain has been pruned so that I can parse single frames. XD

On a side note, it seems that my skin totally eats up scent. Don't know if it's the amount I'm using, if it's my body chemistry, or if it's just 'cause *I* can't smell it. Any advice?

Hey P-chan, just popping in.

Actually you can't smell it because your senses have adjusted to it and filtered it out of your awareness. Ask someone around you if they can still smell it when you realise you can't. Probably, they will be able to.

And if not, at least it made for a good excuse to get them to stick their noses against your neck and snuffle like a puppy! I think if more people acted like puppies, the world would be a much happier place!! ~_^

possibly, but I've also tested the same scent simultaneously on clothes and wood and it sticks like WHOA. on my skin? gone, in like 30 min. which is abnormal for these scents.

...but hee!! great idea with the body sniffing! will keep that one in mind!
