Reverse Evolution
Was disappointed with this when I first got it, as according to cardboard strip test, it seemed a bit sort-of - negligible, especially given the price-brackett. Earlier, I decided to give it a run out, havng °salvaged° other seeming disappointments by the simple expedient of actually wearing them, as opposed to cardboard-strip-testing them.
I put it on - thought "where is it?".
Ten minutes later "oh! it's there!".
Twenty mnutes after putting-on "IT'S THERE!!".
Half an hour after putting-on - it just won't give me any let-up!!!
Seems to evolve in the opposite direction to what a more modest 'fume does. Not only sheer strength, but its nature & inner structure also. It's becoming a bit like when someone you thought was really bland & dull reveals to you that they've been to 27 countries, nearly died of cocaine addiction, been in prison for armed robbery, etc etc.
I'll get back to you when I've completed its run-out.
I've completed it's run-out now.
I would like to digress a little into general principle.
[Most of the rest of this is now in the thread ~Miscellaneous / Ultra-Expensive Perfumes~]
Last night I ^did^ get ^a^ compliment. It's not surprising really, coz I was veritably honking of the stuff. It's seriously powerful stuff, if you can just ^let^ it be! And one might bear in mind that the spray mechanism tends to be ^particularly^ well-made on Roja Dove perfume bottles, and doesn't dispense a large amount per spritz.
I'm wondering what to put on now, coz I'm going to the Sunday afternoon concert at the Whitworth Art Gallery; and, you know, I think I'd better use it again, as I'm still honking of it. What a remarkable transformation! I've gone from being cross at it for seeming to be rather a damp squib to being cross at it for not letting me try a different 'fume the folliwing day by virtue of its being too puissant!
