Whoops, my mistake. It’s just sold out, that’s all. 😉

Oh no! but sometimes that just happens, right? There have been a few lines that I just don’t like on myself, even when I work through the offerings from A to Z. I might even like the way some of the scents smell on friends, but just not on myself.

I was very close to buying a bottle of Sunshine and Pancakes while I had the chance to get it on sale — now, I can probably put it off for a while longer. Alas.

How funny! Now I need to try it, just to see whether I get the powder or the wet ashtray…

It made me feel sort of gorgeous, too! It feels old-fashioned but it’s still wearable — honey dipped but not heavy, like you wrote!

Well, Priscilla E and Coumarin, it WAS on sale. It has suddenly and inexplicably (?) bounced back up to full price. Hm. I think they’ve just lost me as a customer…

Probably the same thing that makes Auphorie Miyako smell like a moldy basement (or a conference center with carpets which had seen too many dirty shoes, tracked in dirt from rolling luggages and cigarette smoke from years past) instead of glorious osmanthus, jasmine etc.

Urura’s Tokyo Café does seem to divide people. I like it, but got it at a freebiemeet from someone who found it way too powdery. I just can’t imagine what it is that gives you the ashtray vibe, but having had blue cheese from something else myself I know strange things happen. :^)

As to 4160Tuesdays, I’ve tried the Sexiest Scent on the Planet (or something like that) and liked it and Urara’s Cafe which smelled like stale wet ashtray (yuck).

I think I have Sunshine and Pancakes and will give it a test drive. Centerpiece sounds really good as well…will need to procure a sample. Thanks for the reviews!

It’s really a line that feels like it was created out of genuine passion and creativity, rather than an “oh, I shall have a perfume brand created in my name, because it’s cool and I can make some money” sort of thing!
