But you obviously have the most amazing and bizarre experiences doing it. :)<br />Plunging into the world of DSH usually ends up with you never leaving the waters. ;)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-11974530063922637742011-02-06T17:32:57.743+01:002011-02-06T17:32:57.743+01:00Now you mention it, that is so true about DSH scen...Now you mention it, that is so true about DSH scents often having massive long lists of ingredients, and being hard to imagine just from the notes. You do have to get in there and take the plunge!<br /><br />The name of this scent will always remind me of a client, who - after I did a good piece of covert research for them to work out whether they should buy a specific company that made turned stair parts, described me as "The Mata Hari of the Spindle World".Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-46230781856206166402011-02-06T12:32:15.966+01:002011-02-06T12:32:15.966+01:00ScentScelf, I'm trying to get back into traini...ScentScelf, I'm trying to get back into training my nose to smell more on a regular basis (I've been somewhat lazy lately) and these were just the thing. :)<br />I'm at the moment happily smelling naturals by Olympic Orchids and finding them intriguing and wonderfully surprising.Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-79158820888305262722011-02-05T16:23:48.208+01:002011-02-05T16:23:48.208+01:00I'm really enjoying listening to you give your...I'm really enjoying listening to you give your nose full rein.

Or how thrilled I am that more people can tolerate oakmoss than the IFRA gives them credit for? ;-)tarleisiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891545310811763453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-13386231378994039412011-02-03T09:16:23.343+01:002011-02-03T09:16:23.343+01:00Tarleisio, I'm not surprised either that I did...Tarleisio, I'm not surprised either that I didn't have any side effects. :) I react very strongly to synthetic musks which have such extreme tenacity that one sniff of a perfume that has some makes it stick in my nose for the whole day and I can't smell anything else afterward.

I'm also glad you didn't have any side effects - but not surprised. Maybe it's all those artificial accords which are giving people perfume allergies? ;-)<br /><br />As for sillage...spray your hair, or your clothes, and see if that helps!tarleisiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891545310811763453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-56738893470036002862011-02-03T03:51:35.060+01:002011-02-03T03:51:35.060+01:00I'm glad to hear that you had no side effects,...I'm glad to hear that you had no side effects, but did you have any sillage or lasting power? DSH perfumes are brilliant compositions! However, I need a bit more 'throw' in a perfume to be truly satisfied.Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.com
