I’m not drinking it, but I could be wearing it. A friend introduced me through a forum to a perfumery that makes all sorts of strange an eclectic perfumes. They have at least three years’ versions of Egg Nog - it makes an appearance every winter. There are perfumes like Bengal that smell like pepper and cinnamon, Stimulating Sassafrass Strengthener (think root beer), Lear (cedar), Paris (lavender), Ophelia (roses), and Morocco (vanilla and spices). They also have scents of amber, patchouli, and other common notes, but I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

I’m not a big fan of the company itself, but I’ve managed to get my hands on some of their sample vials second hand. It’s a lot cheaper, and somehow I can’t bring myself to buy directly from their company. But, anyhow. I took out my stash this morning after not having worn any almost all summer and whoosh, there I was back in the beginning on June, at the concert that I wore a locket scented with Antique Lace (vanilla, mostly). I’m standing by the side of the bus, waiting to go in and holding the locket up to my nose for another whiff. It is really incredible how smells will take you back. Ahhh.

In general, I’m not a big fan of perfumes but I’ve got to admit these little things are pretty neat if only for the novelty factor.

Egg Nog, anyone?
