smelly stuff

[raspberrypie]

i think there's nothing harder than trying to buy fragrance online. (i'm tired of my normal perfume.)

any ideas on good places to look? i know a ton of you will suggest BPAL, and dorei has recommended a few things on there already...

Yup, BPAL is the way to go. You should get together with friends that have a stash (such as dorei or my wife ladylyonesse and sample the scents.

You won't regret it.

do you / dorei live near baltimore? and yeah, i'd rather sample / smell things before i leapt into buying them. though i know several addicts.

Dorei lives in Ashburn (near Dulles Airport), and I live in Alexandria. Not exactly close, but then again, close enough for a social kind of thing. Maybe Liz and I and Sophie (our 3-yr-old, cutest kid in the world!) will do a visit up to the Aquarium, and we can haul up out stash. That, or we're planning a spring party here shortly, and you're welcome to come to that (we'll offer crash space to you and yours, of course).

Several etsy sellers make perfume, although I'm not much a perfume person so I haven't tried any of it. : )
