I was a little annoyed that Jicky smelled lovely on her and did not become the pond scum it does on me. Her fave was MPG Secrete Datura.

Then rubbing it all over my decollete. But I think that was a good thing. I tend to be so sparing in my testing, especially when you get such a tiny bit in a sample, that having so much of this on me at once was a revelation. I immediately thought of my Dad and going to the tobacconist, inhaling that sweet air in the big walk-in humidor, and the more hay-like smell of the store in general. I could tell it was somehow related to vetiver, but this is so much more interesting, and the smell on my wrist is much softer and sweeter than the sillage aura I am wearing. I hope my friend coming over for dinner is okay with it! Eek. I just put on some Onda and spilled it on myself – frantically running the vial up my arm to catch the errant drop!
