I need to find my bitty vial of Poivre...I...Heidi,<br /><br />I need to find my bitty vial of Poivre...I *think* I have one from early in the day...my recollection is that what is happening in Coup de Fouet is a classic edc rendition of a thicker version. In this case, Caron style, so that in the Poivre, the base is more present and it wears densely, whereas the Coup de Fouet lifts and separates, making it waft higher in my nose and in the air, emphasis on the space between the notes, not much grounding.<br /><br />Though as I review that, it sounds like Coup de Fouet is the American actress re-do of Anna Magnani. ;)<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words as well.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-66630266827658324772011-03-14T08:26:33.990-05:002011-03-14T08:26:33.990-05:00Josephine,
Thank you for the very kind words...an...Josephine,<br /><br />Thank you for the very kind words...and thanks also for deciding to come by (when ready)! <br /><br />I am going to confess {lowers voice, invites Josephine closer} after all that about fallow fields, lying low, allowing time to process, etc etc etc. -- which I am a passionate believer in -- I think I just fell headfirst into a hunting & gathering period. Also known as Manic Session of Sniffery. I think I had wondered if I would ever do that again. I now also wonder if perhaps the writing about it was a way to clear the path to opening the floodgates one more time.<br /><br />It is always a pleasure when you stop by.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-28500655162075835572011-03-14T08:18:18.035-05:002011-03-14T08:18:18.035-05:00Ines, I get it. :) I'm kinda digging finding...Ines, I get it. :) I'm kinda digging finding these comments here this morning, actually... Josephine and Heidi picking up the theme, too. You'll note that more than once I have said in a post something like "if you're still with me..." (or "but I digress"), and while that is in some ways self-deprecating, it's also intended to be a conscious recognition that I've hit another fork in the road.<br /><br />I've appreciated that you've noted more than once you are willing to follow the whole path because you have learned it will come together. (And honestly, have breathed a sigh of relief that it DID come together as I had thought. ;) )<br /><br />I recognize this post has the added challenge that there is a halfway break/twist right at about the spot where many a typical blog-length post would end. And then there's the whole three perfumes in one post thing...what's she doing there? That's not typical Notes From the Ledge. But when it evolved that way, I realized it matched the number of stages of Aomassai, which was the morpher of the day, and that the abrupt shift in the middle, kind of matched Aomassi's abrupt shift, so I could share my thoughts on cycles and patterns AND take a look at perfume...plus there's a thematic no perfume / perfume shift, too, which reflects my process as discussed... layers in layers...what's that? thinking too much???<br /><br />As for trying new stuff: I wrote this yesterday, then went on a sniffing bender. I had excellent company, which I expect I shall write about sometime soon. The worm has definitely turned. The weather might not yet say spring, but my nose has certainly started a new season. I'm enjoying reading about your new sniffs, btw.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-14586156489990185242011-03-13T23:28:07.593-05:002011-03-13T23:28:07.593-05:00Regarding the two comments above...I'm a new r...Regarding the two comments above...I'm a new reader, and I've already learned that reading this blog requires a little extra focus. AND that it is well worth it! ScentSelf, I agree with you about Aomassai. What an interesting beast, no? I'm curious... how do you compare Coup de Fouet to Poivre? I love Poivre and have not tried the CdF.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07398934936752030866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-24392114818059945222011-03-13T16:11:03.603-05:002011-03-13T16:11:03.603-05:00Interesting comment by Ines.

Even then, I sometimes want to jump ship at the mid point, but know that the second half is always worth the read. <br /><br />Embarrassing, but true.<br /><br />Having said that, I love the way you handled the issue of morphing and the different stages of pursuit. Reflecting and taking a break are very important aspects of any interest. Full speed ahead at all times lacks both nuance and insight. One must think about what has been done, ponder its value and apply that information towards...morphing. At least, I must do this.<br /><br />Your blog, and your voice, are both unique and brilliant - it's a pleasure to follow.Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-14469722285807023912011-03-13T14:07:21.999-05:002011-03-13T14:07:21.999-05:00You know, many of your posts leave me wondering if...You know, many of your posts leave me wondering if you lose readers somewhere around the half. :) And I don't mean that in a bad way, it just seems to me people are having shorter and shorter attention spans and those don't work here. <br />Which is why I always leave your posts with a smile on my face - I've been on a ride that I had no idea where it was going to take me, and then half-way through, having finally gotten an idea of a destination, I end up someplace else. :)<br />I'm glad you're trying new stuff. And I seem to need to get re-acquianted wit Aomassai.Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.com
