http://theblacknarcissus.com perfume obsession and the scented skin Wed, 22 May 2013 15:38:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ http://theblacknarcissus.com/2012/12/01/the-bewitched-carnations-diamond-waters-golconda-by-jar-2001/#comment-4920 Wed, 22 May 2013 15:38:27 +0000 http://theblacknarcissus.com/?p=2291#comment-4920 Absolutely hilarious. From your rich description I could see the scene clearly, although, I’m not so sure I could have kept my cool and a straight face, as you did through all of that pretense. You have me curious about the scents, however, with all of that freakin’ exclusivity, I doubt if I’ll ever have the chance to come across one, but then again, I suppose that’s the point.

Though probably not very amusing if the shopper feels roped into the quirky theatrics.

I am holding off on Nocturnes as well…partially because I want YOU to do it first and also because I feel that it was such a part of me how could I possibly write about it? (it was last month,btw…)

I truly don’t even know what part to single out as most wryly, dryly witty, or which aspect about the perfume itself I’m more intrigued by. Regardless, this was the best thing I’ve read in a while. Bravo (as always)!

When JAR first debuted I had the feeling it was a creation of yet another wealthy prerson with a sense of entitlement and never made an effort to sample anything from that line. Thank you for your review which enabled me to realize that my initial perception about this line was correct.
