So I caved in and ordered four Black Phoenix samples via eBay, since the lab takes for-freaking-ever to ship. I got the set mostly for Embalming Fluid, but it also included Silentium Amoris, Kurukulla, and Melpomene.
Since the power outages and now the impossibility of actually getting any gas in my car have me not-at-work, I have been experimenting. I'm not clueful enough to be able to identify the various notes in any given perfume, but I am definitely understanding now why there's such a thriving trade community for this stuff.
( Cut for people who think all this fuss over perfumes is silly. )
As the fact that I'm posting from home may indicate, my broadband is back. It cut out on me twice last night, once for about twenty minutes and then again at 11:30 until sometime midmorning today. But it's been stable since then, and the TV reception has improved, so I think I'm good. However, my car is almost out of gas and considering that the lines for the stations that don't have their pumps roped off are backed up to the far end of creation, I'm not going to be able to get gas anytime soon. So I called in to work. I feel bad about it, but it's really beyond my control right now.
