I do think you are right that people have a particular sensitivity to certain notes - it used to be civet for me (on the negative side), but that has turned around of late!<br /><br />Count me in as another person who doesn't care for that Guerlain, hehe - and it Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-17846172770274126162014-10-24T22:04:16.274+01:002014-10-24T22:04:16.274+01:00I LOVE Attrape-Coeur, and whereas I don't thin...I LOVE Attrape-Coeur, and whereas I don't think of it as cinnemony- it's there to add warmth I'd say. I think we all have some notes that we can just spot from a mile away, wether it's because it's something we truly love or something we can't stand. <br />It has happened to me twice, with the same fragrance.

So I can see where your bassist smelled the note, but AC is almost linear after a while and pretty dependably handsome. What I'm trying to say is that most people enjoy AC, but maybe like me, it just doesn't dry down properly on you?

You are a true perfume evangelist :)<br /><br />I always carry first-aid kit with me - alcohol wipes, Neosporin, Band-Aid, etc. It proved to be useful on more than one occasion.<br /><br />I had my perfumes criticized for notes that I didn't think were in there on more than one occasion.

The summer, between riding my bike and the physical work of the nursery, there was no time for perfume - or I was afraid it would just slide right off me!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to re-discovering scent this fall/winter!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394558427981331885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-35152428051585850532014-10-20T10:19:23.040+01:002014-10-20T10:19:23.040+01:00Hi Carol,

I also now carry Compeed on trips, though haven't needed it yet. Scissors would be a useful addition to my first-aid kit, for sure.<br /><br />I was also impressed that Andy (the fan) was wearing two OJs at once. Most conscientious of him. ;)<br /><br />How interesting about Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-50638407249941997302014-10-19T13:13:07.383+01:002014-10-19T13:13:07.383+01:00V, lovely to hear about your Brighton gig adventur...V, lovely to hear about your Brighton gig adventure and all those "band hand mishaps". You really are "with the band"!<br /><br />It's great that you carry around those first-aid supplies. You really helped me out with my sore foot in London that time.<br /><br />I can imagine it must be so gratifying to have influenced so many fellow fans with your love of perfume. I loveTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825957684276136205noreply@blogger.com
