Now here is this lovely missive about book dust and an Oxford comma...<br /><br />It matters not, of course. Dust might be in the wind, as in not Kansas (the band, not the state, though of course the state is not without) and in my brain, but I shall not neglect to add you to the pool of participants in the draw.<br /><br />I wish you luck.

Though I shrink slightly in fear at the mention of "fruity," the idea of dust being such intrigues me.<br /><br />And now I take this moment to clarify that "dust" is light and miniscule particulate, while "mica dust" (which I have used as a descriptor for L'Ombre Fauve and Habit Rouge, for example) is bigger and has more substance, like mica chips in a rock. You knew that, of course, but just putting it out there for anybody still following along. :)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-74660427757505297552011-09-19T09:52:03.651-05:002011-09-19T09:52:03.651-05:00Do find it, Warum...it is interesting.

I've gotten over my initial reaction (here on the blog as "galbanum + pinky ball"), and have become quite fond of it.
