Laughing because it’s true! The first thing I thought was that I’d rather be drinking a hot drink than a cold one on the wharf. And I’d be wearing a fleece-lined windbreaker too.

That reminds me of an amusing wine review that included the phrase “hints of wet concrete”..!

Truly, there are so many releases now that EVERY possible color is overdone. There are too many black, purple, blue & green.

I don’t know if I’ve hit stage 5 yet. I’m still discovering newish niche gems and wishing more of them had department store frag prices. My appreciation for the classics is multi-faceted, but part of it is that they’re absolutely wonderful and can be found for what I consider reasonable perfume prices, and some are an absolute steal considering how amazing they are like Mitsouko, No. 5 and Narcisse Noir. I can’t help thinking they’d be two or three times the price if they launched now, while I’m trying how to factor in how I’m going to score some recently discovered Farmacia SS. Annunziata dal 1561 and Omnia Profumo loves.

Adding very un-pink notes like tar to an otherwise very pink frag would be great! I can see it now. Notes of raspberry will be blended with an unexpected twist of gun powder accord or strawberry, pink pepper and cement. I’d love to try those, or see if the perfume industry could go an entire year without the use of pink bottles/packaging and how that would inspire the creative process.

HA. I’d take SB at the moment, whatever it smelled like.

Hermes Rose Ikebana! And there must be others I’m not thinking of.

BTW, I totally thought this was called “Perfume Diaries Santa” at first glance. I thought maybe everyone had officially gone off the deep end, and were just naming perfumes whatever: “Umm… Piece of Lint!… No…Letter from Grandma?… Not so much? Ok, how about Easter Bunny! What, you don’t like Easter Bunny? Ok, well… Santa? Are we all good with Santa? Santa is it is!”

Of course this is all just in my head, and not an actual industry problem.

And that would be Stage 5(a).
