...Cruella:Cryptic:Skin does not chemically react to anything, let alone fragrance.Then why do some skins erode and discolor various metals?because of SWEAT not the actual skin, and nobody wears perfume when they are sweaty, so it still doesn't proof anything.I wear perfume when I'm sweaty. I sweat every day and I wear perfume every day. I work outside with the birds and the trees, I don't think they mind.My fragrance is fresh in the morning right out of the shower, when my body temperature heats up, the fragrance magnifies itself. When I am really drenched in sweat, I can barely smell it but it's there because I always spray on the tips of my shirt collar which is also sweaty.At the end of the day when my body is cooling down, I catch tiny whiffs of my fragrance again. It may be mixed with sweat and body odor but I recognize it as the fragrance I am wearing that day.

...I have been gloating that the 1 oz bottle of Guerlain Meteorites that I donated to my raffle has been sold.

...I have been cursing the snow.

...Lots of people announce they are leaving in public. I don't understand it but its very common.

...Sleuth:Bottle sales are allowed on Parfumo though.Thank you for the reminder.@ Cryptic, that's a good idea. I think I will add that line to my topic and to my profile right now.

...I need a think tank. If anyone could help me brainstorm to think of new ideas for my fundraiser I'm all ears. Right now its just a raffle since bottle sales are not allowed. What fragrances would people buy tickets for? Im trying to get people to donate a decant, those can be sold as a collection.

...Sweetgrass won my Worldwide LOT. She won: 4.5ml of each Guerlain Apres l'Ondee Guerlain Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Sur la route de Madagascar Guerlain Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Sur la Route du Mexique Guerlain Mayotte and 2.5ml of each Guerlain L'Heure Bleue edt (lot 1x01, from 2011) Guerlain Guerlain Idylle Duet Jasmin-Lilas Photo on my album and 15 ml of Tauer Une Rose Vermeille Laura Mercier Eau Gourmande Creme de Pistache.There is a photo in my album.Somebody just won Lutens La Fille de Berlin 1.7 oz bottle for just $2

...I have been working very long hours.I have been having volunteers draw names of winners for my fund raiser.I have been stressing about my son's Christmas list, or lack thereof.I have been gifted various scented soaps and spa day supplies.I have been feeling pretty damned good that when I give it comes back to me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, runneth over.I have been thinking about Mr. Freckles all day today. This calls for a visit to Facebook. Thank you Fairy God Mommy for the fabulous photo! (not you Dolby you meannie).

...Rive Gauche.

...*taking a bow*

...Sweetgrass:Digindirt:Pipette:You are running this well. I have seen the photo with the wall full of "restaurant order" tickets. Good luck furthermore, for a very good cause.Bottle and Decant donations are still coming in but no ticket sales today despite my Black Friday (a week early) sale.I finally won one of Venus' giveaways, must be Karma :DIs it still possible to participate somehow?Anyway on topic (flogging this dead horse again), I found Fragrantica first and still love it as a source of information. I have precious little idea of what went/still goes down in the forums, I never even got that far, just didn't seem like a place for me... I just got tired of wading through some truly worthless comments in perfume reviews and article comments and have since been more active in a local discussion board than either F or Parfumo. Lately though I've been frequenting Parfumo, generally for the same reasons stated by others here. I like lurking and reading through topics (even the long ones lol) but I hope my contribution stays positive, I like this site a lot!Pm sent!Raffle Tickets are dirt cheap today. I tend to spend more time on Fragrantica because people know and trust me there. People know and trust me on Parfumo but you have to be careful asking people for money. On Fragrantica, I have given away a lot more than I would ever collect in this giveaway. Hopefully some of the recipients of my giveaways will donate.

...Got myself an early Chritmas gift. I think I might hold onto it until New Year's Eve.Mystere is just a decoration.

...My big baby believes in Santa because I said he is real. Grown people have told him he doesn't exist but he doesn't believe them he believes me. My problem now is producing the rare items on his list that only exist on ebay. Buy it now is my friend in December :D

...Thanks Wolf. We can always count on you to bring us back to reality. Happy Thanksgiving.

...My bottle is EDT, aerosol and comes out cold as well. It's highly pressurized too.This is what a friend of mine had to say about my bottle:By the way, the bottle you have on the decant thread is really, really old. It's a CFC-propelled atomizer. It smells the freshest of all even though most of it vaporized when I put it on my skin!

...If the sprayer is aerosol, I believe it's vintage. I have the aerosol bottle myself, it smells fresh and powdery to my nose.

...I went trick or treating at Kevin Plank's house this year. I see and talk to him and/or his wife sometimes when I am at work.

...I have been getting an early start on dinner preparations.I have been setting up a Midnight Madness Marathon for a good cause.Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

...Dlane1953::)That's more like it!
