Oh THAT is why that particular BPAL went total curry on me and I just could not figure out why for the life of me.

I love it when I get to make that intellectual connection and put a name to a note.

I thought "immortelle" was like potpourri for some reason!

No, I think I know what you mean, there's a sort of "preserved flower" vibe to the name. And it is a flower, but not potpourri at all.

That Afternoon of a Faun review is lovely, wow.

Love it. It took a while to grow on me -- I had a sample vial knocking around for years, then started wearing it a lot during lockdown 1 for some reason, then ended up nabbing a bottle in a sale. That and CDG Black have been my two most-worn scents of the past two years.

There, you've got the worn woods/resin thing going on, and then the immortelle gives it this edge which is a bit salty/savoury (it pings as "clean sweat" in my brain), and balances out the rose/jasmine.

In my head, it's not theatre, it's rehearsal room.
