Comments on: Looking to the Stars for Guidance? http://scentzilla.com/2006/08/30/looking-to-the-stars-for-guidance/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

I won't proclaim Gris Clair as the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it's sure lovely to wear. Almost a "skin" lavender, in a way. Or, uh, at least on me it is :) Aw, Chuck Berry... I'm blanking completely on what fragrance would earn even one Chuck Berry. Maybe Bal a Versailles. Maybe. Hi Sali, oh no, you’re not alone at all.

LOL. I'm glad you've found Gris Clair so much to your liking. I wouldn't want to be alone in praising its contemporary lavender greatness. You used the word "gauze" and that's the feeling I get from it, too. It wears vanillic on me but not cloyingly so, just like a fresh, aromatic gourmand veil, just a little bit like Delices de Cartier minus the cherry musk. I love the Elvis stars--LOL. Of course, if Elvis is the King of Rock, then Chuck Berry must be the MASTER of the UNIVERSE. ;-) Great work, K. Excellent, Katie! LOL.

Three Robert Smiths was really the only rating I could give it. But keep in mind, I have a serious blind spot when it comes to salty fragrances, so I'm a little weak when it comes to ocean scents. <b>Marina</b>, thanks. Good to know I amused ya. <b>Tania</b>, aw, that's sweet. Even if it's four stars out of one hundred stars, well... hey, I still scored some stars on the Tbone scale! <b>Angela</b>, thank you! <b>kuri</b>, thanks, it's a nice smelling frag, just kind of dopey. <b>Jenn</b>, you got peppery? Wow. That sounds a little more interesting than what I got. I've not delved too deeply into the DSH stuff, admittedly, but this one was so lovely and simple that I had to mention it. <b>Robin</b>, it's always a pleasure to have given you a chuckle. <b>March</b>, oh dear god. I'm open to giving the modern incarnation of Chantilly another try, but the last time in the recent past I've sniffed at it in the drugstore I was just apalled. It seemed like swill compared to what it used to be way back in the day. Maybe if I can get over how it used to be I might like it? Cachet is not mind-blowing, but very pretty, and worthy of consideration as a cheapie. <b>David</b>, thanks, appreciate it! <b>Andy</b>, I think lavender is just waiting for some brilliant mind (yours?) to make people appreciate it again :) <b>Anya</b>, heh, thrilled to pass along an ear worm to you, my dear. It's a very nice one, at least ;P My email is a flat out mess, and I am still trying to straighten it out, I promise! <b>house of stone</b>, yeah, I wouldn't describe the Sigur Ros as being boring, as they are really innovative and interesting. But they kind of leave me cold, likely due to the fact that as you mention, they are pretty esoteric. <b>Chaya</b>, Oooh, I've always wanted to be a madwoman! Heh. That is a silly, but most utterly perfect compliment. Thank you. <b>griff</b>, thank you. I'm not sure I'm particularly more clever than Burr at all, but I do appreciate the sentiment! <b>Lisa S</b>, well, maybe it's just a leetle twee, hehehe. Thank you for the applause, I swear I can hear it from here :) Grant, ach, thanks. Three Robert Smiths was really the only rating I could give it.

Can't speak to the Yosh. Your system and comments are hilarious, and much more clever then that Chandler guy. Yeowch, I love Sigur Ros. Can’t speak to the Yosh.

Might as well make it public, because a big day escaped our blogworld completely. It's Blog Day 2006, and I was writing Twisty that I included her blog and bcc'ing Katie, whom I turned on to Twisty. You can read more about the blog day on my blog. How in the heck did we all miss it? ! ? !

Really delightful! Ha! Sigur Ros are a really great esoteric ethereal Icelandic band that produce music that is almost more feeling than sound, so I guess boring is a matter of interpretation.

Now I have to go play that, can't get the ear worm out of my head! Andy -- it is Elvii, as in the Las Vegas troupe "The Flying Elvii" that leap out of airplanes parachuting. Brilliant and funny as usual, Katie! I’m with Grant on this — Robert Smith — “Standing on a beach, looking at the sea…” Now I have to go play that, can’t get the ear worm out of my head!
