Like yesterday for example.
I was home looking for some samples to add to packages and at one point it jus hit me. Oh my god! I have so many samples, they are going to run over me and leave me for dead!
Ok, so maybe not dead but exhausted or just depressed because I don't see how are they going to run me over if I don't take them in my hand and try them but there are so many! And the amount is just going to grow and grow. And I have no idea how 80% of them smell like even though I tried them. It really scared me and then I got depressed. Every once in a while I read about one of them and take it out to smell it. If I cannot make my mind, I put it back for another try. But while I'm doing that, I'm also swapping and ordering stuff, and new samples arrive. And find a place to live their life somewhere near me but probably hiding so I wouldn't find them when I need them (even though I try and put them at places where I'll be able to find them).
And what happens yesterday? I try looking for stuff that I already put aside for swapping extras and suddenly there are samples wherever I look. They really scared me. I guess we can live in peace if some of them are hiding and I don't need to be aware of them most of the time.
I think I'll stop now and not go back to reading what I wrote because just thinking about it makes me sound like a lunatic. :)
But! I'm a lunatic with a new perfume fixation. Ok, so it's not really a fixation, more of an interest in a certian area. Like attars.
I got two Amouage attar samples last week, Al Mas and Homage, and even though attars smell a bit different than what I'm used to, I wanted to try some more and of course, I ordered some.
From Arabian Bazaar. They were the first site that came up when I browsed for attars and they have sample packs (2). So I oredred both (and can I just say I'm their first Croatian customer).
And I got very surprised - I ordered on Thursday (5 days ago) and the package was waiting for me today when I got home. :) Talk about fast.
Of course, there wasn't much time for testing yet, I just put on 2 of them randomly and turns out one of them smells quite a lot like Al Mas by Amouage (for quite a lot less money). Honestly, it actually smells even better to me (hope lightning doesn't strike me).
Sedra costs 58$ for 30ml. I couldn't find Al Mas but Homage is 270 E for 12ml. And for that money, I'm likely to think it's not compatible with my skin chemistry because otherwise I would have to say it's really not good (it smelled a lot like I put something pickled on my skin for quite a while until getting relatively normal).
