Worked a bit more on the painting, but couldn't get very far because THERE WAS A SMALL KITTEN THAT JUMPED UP ON THE TABLE AND WOULD NOT LEAVE ME ALONE. After many episodes of Cat-Like Typing Detected and attempts to catch my stylus or eat my earphone cord, or to play with the hand I needed for the ALT key (to eyedropper color), I said the hell with it and gave up for tonight. :P

Fun! My not-a-kitten-but-acts-like-it teenage cat isn't content unless he's climbing on my chest or biting the computer cord/my yarn/my knitting needles/my hair.

WHY DID YOU GET A KITTEN IF YOU DID NOT WANT THIS

CLEARLY YOU DID

THE KITTEN CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU

Nope, kittens are not conducive to work. :D

Haha. You know I planned on working some more in manga studio but when I got home there was a package from you. Thank you so much. I was really only expecting a handful and you really really made my day!

:D Hope you like! I tried to give you a sampling from every category I had, which should give you a good idea of what works on you and what doesn't. They're all over a year old, so some of the scents may have shifted, but it should still give you a sense. :D

I tried to cheat and sniff at the bottles themselves, but all of the scents seem to have mingled into a general small of perfume. I am very very excited to try them out. And I little nervous that I won't be able to smell anything different ;.;

Yeah, your nose can achieve scent fatigue fairly quickly. XD I've heard it said that if you keep coffee beans or ground around, a giant snort of the coffee odor will refresh your scent receptors, but I've enver tried it as I don't drink the stuff. Sometimes you just ahve to go away56ttttnh 5i i9

Sorry, that was a message from the kitten. Anyway, sometimes you just have to go away and not smell stuff for a while. :)

Also, if different ones do smell alike, it might be that the scents have degraded down to common elements - BPAL doesn't list *every* component in the mixtures, after all. :)

I think that is actually true. We did some kind of smelling activity in girl scouts with candles. Rice also supposedly cleanses the palate but I don't know how much I believe that one. I actually haven't opened any yet (I really mean I was smelling the outside of the bottles!) for fear of spilling the liquid all over my laptop. (At least it would smell good?)
I do not remember you ever saying you did not drink coffee :) I am glad to not be alone! Though I am guessing you at least like mocha flavored desserts? (I don't but I am sure that is a huge shock.)
Also: Hello kitty!

Yeah, I'd advise not openinr2

Er. Kitten again. I'd advise not opening them over anything you want to keep or to not smell 23

ER, NOT 7CV DFRCEEEEE4 VTG6Y6

Okay, he's now OFF THE DESK. Don't open them over anything you want to keep or to keep smell-free until you've got the hang of opening the little vials. :D I tend to rest the hand holding the cap on the one holding the vial and do a gentle tilting/rolling motion with the hand on the cap to get them open. Sometimes it's more graceful than others. :D Haven't spilled a whole bunch yet, but I did have a sweet-smelling desk for a while. :D

And I don't actually like mocha very much. :)

Haha yeah that is exactly what I was afraid of. And I have pretty much no experience opening a bottle like the ones the perfume is in.
