walking through the mall, went into macy's, bought the michael kors brown suede high-heeled oxfords (i'm banking on that trend not dying out for at least another year; nobody in utah is wearing them anyway), walking past the fragrance department. horrible. it's all mariah and paris and five flavors of j.lo and also daisy. how many different amariges can there be? they had notorious, which i sprayed on and which made me want to be wearing coco. then i sprayed shalimar on the inside of my left wrist and gaultier's new one, maDame or whatever, on the top of that arm. they smelled identical.

drydown: shalimar has the watery, limpid guerlain heart, and maDame is so gross. so gross. bad bathroom deodorizer, like those solid jelly ones they had in the late 70s. notorious got so boring.
