BramletAbercrombie Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I am so going to be getting some samples today - it's payday, so I think I can splurge a bit. I saw that they had candles and thought, that would be nice - and then saw that they were $80. Yeah, I think I'll be getting some samples for now.

Lisa Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 [quote name='dUSt' timestamp='1303875682' post='2233801'] [i]Fans of Comme des Garcon's Incense series (particularly Kyoto and Avignon) will want to try this, as well anyone who has been longing for an incense scent without gothic overtones. Warm and reassuring.[/i] [/quote] I was very worried about the "gothic overones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Normile Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) I agree that all of Dust' s friends should chip in and buy him this perfume, I mean the guy is admitting he smells badly and needs some help! His friends should contribute to cease his malodorous assault on the olfactory systems of those who have to be near him, its a good thing this guy hates me, saves me a buck or so... ed Edited April 29, 2011 by Ed Normile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramletAbercrombie Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Got my samples today. I put on my Avignon, and when my husband walked by, he said "You smell like church!" Unfortunately, I don't think it's something I'll be able to wear every day, but it will be fun for, say, a night out dancing or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 I would love it if everyone told me I smelled like church. Most of the time, when I walk by people, they say, "You smell like gumbo!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSister2009 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 That may make a lot of people sick since some people have asthma or are allergic to incense. Me, I'm neither here nor there. But I still don't like incense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Most people who respond negatively to incense have only been exposed to poor quality incense. The high quality stuff is far less likely to irritate the respiratory system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yikes. When the incense is lit the sawdust would become airborne, and that's just disgusting. I think that's considered an industrial hazard in places such as construction sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
