sampled interlude man yesterday, now wondering if i'm ever going to not smell like it ever again. :b it is as powerful as all the warnings said, and i'm such a subtaster/smeller/sense person in general that even monsters like shalimar, le baiser du dragon, epic man, and tobacco vanille didn't faze me--this is the first perfume i've put on where i'm like "even though i like it will i ever be free of it?!"

meanwhile, still madly smitten with l'air du desert marocain to the point i found myself googling tauer interviews on youtube. discovered he is like a tidier, cuter alton brown with a swiss accent. adorable. so now my crush has even more vectors.

kinda bad timing with perfume mail--got samples i've been dying to try for months now of a lot of the great weirder notorious classics (stuff like bandit, rochas femme, black, knowing, insolence edp, habit rouge, knize ten, kouros) a day AFTER trying l'air. and i still am excited to try them, but i'm also like "how the hell am i ever going to wean myself off l'air long enough to sample anything else?" part of me truly can't fathom ever wanting to smell like anything else ever again. read a woman on the fragrantica boards describing her similar fate before me, and how she wound up buying 6 bottles all at once and has had no regrets and will reorder soon. gah.
