Evil Perfume Mummy is Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil

Robin over at Now Smell This posted a poll yesterday, and one of the questions was:

Name a fragrance you were so sure you would hate that you weren’t even going to try it, but for whatever reason you did try it and you loved it.

My reponse was that I didn't think I had one of those yet, but I have been avoiding Thierry Mugler's Angel, and maybe that would be the one.

Today, mindful of this, I asked Faun if she'd put a little Angel on her skin just so we could smell it.

Capsule Review - Coco Mademoiselle (Chanel)

Top :Orange, Bergamot, Grapefruit.

Middle: Mimosa, Rose, Italian Jasmine.

Base :Indonesian Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver, Bourbon Vanilla, White Musk.

Dashing out to pick Faun up from school, having just had a shower, I rummaged around in the samples bag for a quick spray of something, and came up with Coco Mademoiselle. 3 quick sprays later, as I was getting dressed, my reaction was this:

Vile. Utterly vile. Plastic fruit on me with a HORRENDOUS chemical drydown that smells suspiciously like a an alcoholic who drinks so much Strongbow all day that the smell seeps from his pores...

I'm guessing this has a lot to do with my skin chemistry rather than this being an ineptly made fragrance. At least I sincerely hope so...
