    I tried this the other day and it seemed to me that the pepper note had been separated out from Floriental and then seasoned with straight black pepper. It was very true to its name and had good sillage and lasting power but in the end it was pepper, and nothing more. Expensive pepper. It needed incense or resin or even something like aniseed, or five spice to lift it.

    What was that?
    A post-apocalyptic drive to Palm Springs narrated by a U.N. translator?
    I wish the worm-thing had more screen time.
    Oh yeah, perfume.

      Most of CdG’s videos are like this. (Actually, the Dot video was by the same person and pretty much just different random images & voiceovers.)
