We went out to dinner at Zea, which is a lovely place with lovely food and I ordered the duck and...I suspect my face was Very Amusing.
dormouse_in_tea will have to confirm or deny, but after I finished the first bite, I said, "and now that I've finished having an orgasm over my duck...." We traded tastes of food - her veal was INCREDIBLY good. I would wish to steal this restaurant and take it home, except I think she would be rather annoyed if I did that. VERY good food. Also very much too large for Laura portions.
Then we came back and played with BPAL. In between storm watching because there is a GORGEOUS lightning storm. I got a couple photos that may come out but if I want any more I shall have to contrive, as the window has now been drenched, making it an unsuitable portal for picture-taking.
Playing with BPAL - I let her smell what Dragon's Eye does on my skin - it is lovely, lovely, lovely. And then we deliberately put a scent of hers with vetiver on me so that she could smell what it does on me. I hate vetiver - and I can recognize a scent that has vetiver in it at once if it has a significant amount, because I'm that tuned to "get the vetiver away". She can now verify that, yes, what vetiver does on me is not pleasant. And that it amps in odd ways.
Storm is pretty. Storm is very pretty. Computer is distracting me from storm, so now I go away from computer.

And it might almost be worth it to let you have the restaurant if I could always watch while you ate the duck. . . but that's an almost. *bares teeth* MY restaurant, leave off!

On my Scott, vetiver turned into basmati rice. It's pretty special. So he could relate only it just takes a little bitty bit for him to get the 'basmati rice with whatever else is in this perfume' effect.

On me, vetiver stays pretty vetiver-y (at least, it smells the same to me in the imp and on my skin, or close). Dirt, rotting logs, forest floor, something a little sharp about it all, deeply unpleasantly woody (as opposed to pleasantly woody, say cedar or sandalwood).
It amps so heavily the rest of the notes may as well not exist if there is any significant amount of vetiver.
