squeal!

Just got my packet of Etat Libre d'Orange samples from Luckyscent. They didn't include the one with the GIGANTIC SPURTING COCK on it though. Pity.
Did anyone else order?

Sarah Jessica Parker - Covet

Chocolate soap.

Hugo Boss - Hugo Element

Maybe it's because I swabbed down my boy's arm with the tester wipe, but it smells intravenous and cleansing.

Coty - L'Origan (vintage)

Unlocking a trousseau found in a crumbling French farmhouse. Thick, syrupy violet and clove, buttoned-up boots, musk, VERY sweet - yet a cinnamon-like note saves it from the jamjars . . .
This is the scent that I think wafted from the sets of Melies movies (in between the plaster, paste, and varnish) with their dozens of lady extras, hourglass-shaped Pierrettes in daring body stockings, large cruppers, the smell of a cafe-concert dressing room after a performance.

Estee Lauder - Amber Ylang Ylang (Private Collection)

Marzipan, marchepane, massepain, pastry cream, hundreds-and-thousands, dragees, sugared almonds, princess torte, husks, rusks, vanilla specks, egg glaze, boiling, bakeries, confectioners sugar, icing sugar, frosted flowers, a million wedding cakes at once, patisseries, butter-flaky crusts, cream cream sugared almond cream cream cream cream cream warm fresh milk.

Lancome - Sikkim (vintage)

On first spray, this is the driest and fiercest of chypres - it literally felt like alien metal hooks clawing into my nostrils and dragging down. I kept touching my upper lip gingerly for traces of blood. The drydown is no less brisk and unyielding - bloody tears on a field of luminous white flowers.

Lancome - Magie (vintage)

Lovely aldehydic floral that sheens and shines with the soft furred glow of peacock feathers. More well-heeled sister to Coty's L'Origan. Like pearls next to skin.
