Along with a funny story for today, so buckle up and get your popcorn brothers! There’s a niche perfumery store about 20 minutes away from where I live that I visit frequently, and I have a pretty good friendship with the saleswoman there. She and I shared a lot of similar interests, and just kind of hit it off. Needless to say, I saw her again today and we talked for some amount of time. I was a little nervous considering I was kind of a mess from the business of yesterday, but regardless we had a great conversation about honestly everything lol. Anyways with that being said lol, onto the other part of the story. This dude came into the store looking for a replacement for his Mahogany and Teakwood. He likes woody stuff, is a bit outdoorsy and a small town resident, and needed something in a small bottle. He went around and looked for a bit, and my eyes came to something. Something I think could be worth a try from him. Stercus, by Orto Parisi. Almond, oud, wood, smoke. Long lasting, impressive sillage, a surprising compliment better for something named “Feces” in latin. I looked to her and asked “Would he maybe like this one? Or too challenging?” we both confirmed and were like, “Yeah probably too challenging” at first, but he was intrigued. So I sprayed it out for him. A bit nervous, handing him the strip. He takes a smell. His eyes light up. And right then and there, we both know we just opened up a new rabbit hole for him. And a whole new door gets opened. Needless to say, we sent him on his way. got him from Bath and Body Works to Orto Parisi and Nasomatto in ten minutes lol. He was a cool, wholesome dude. Maybe he’ll even join the brotherhood of scent! I should have put him on. After he left she and I kept talking, and eventually I had to dip to attend later matters. But not before getting some samples, including some from Boadicea, which i’ve been DYING to try out. I got Megamare again. I’m giving it a second chance lol. So now I’ve officially set foot into ultra niche fragrances. Expect reviews coming from them soon!
