Spicy Brains!
As the result of a Hurricane Katrina relief charity auction, I've come into possession of a 5ml bottle of BPAL's Mi-Go Brain Canister. With a name like that, how could I pass it up?
In the bottle, it's bubblegum-juicy-sweet. Reminds me of the way Kurukulla smells in the bottle, but this one doesn't purportedly have any lotus in it; must just be all the fruit. When I put it on, though, it begins to develop a perfumey sharpness more like regular storebought perfumes, the kind that gets up into my sinuses. There's still some of that juicy sweetness and it tries hard to smooth it out. I wonder if this is some quirk of body chemistry and if I ought to hang onto it to give it another try in a week or so - might be a bit too close to the wrong time of the month? At any rate, it's a little dissapointing. We'll see how it dries.
Edit to add: It mellowed some as it dried, like the other BPAL fragrances I've tried so far, but it took too long to lose that commercial perfuminess that I didn't like. I'll keep it for now and test it again next week or so to see if it was a weird time of the month thing, but if the results are the same I'll probably trade it.

Splain to me this whole 'perfume' thing? When did you get involved, how/why?
