Flanker Strategies
as good strategy-bad strategy, but the above strategies are in fact bad. Flankers, like Fruity-Floral and Gourmand perfumes tend to suck, but some strategies are better than others.

If you do want to get to know them, spray them one at a time away from such smell clutter. I love being liberal with these (I own or have owned Seville a L'Aube, Dzing!, Safran Troublant, Tea4Two, Mechant Loup, Chasse aux Papillons, Mimosa Pou Moi, Voleur de Roses, Drôle de Rose, Verte Violette, Passage d'Enfer) My usual M.O. is spraying my self all over before I dress,...
