the taste of perfume-love

i've been extra-clutzy today, to the point that i spilled an entire section of spoons in Pax just trying to get one spoon into my bag. classic, i tell ya. but the best clutzmonger thing i did today? i sprayed perfume in my face. not just any perfume, either. oh no... i specifically wasted my Andy Tauer l'air du desert marocain sample. the fact that i still adore this fragrance after inadvertently forcing myself to taste it is a testimony to how incredible it is... an archly dry rose rests over coriander and vetiver in such a way as to render the spiciness of desert sands into a remarkable and lush romantic landscape. it is the beauty of Bedouin patterns on cloth tents; an incense that is so much part of the soul of the desert that you cannot extract it from that place. the lightest peppery wood; the warmth of a bonfire fire under distant cold austere stars, with nothing living around you for miles.

i think i'm in love with this scent. this might be one of those years where i find a lot of excellent scents in a short period of time. between this and Idole i'm probably good for another few years. ;)
