Had a little meetup yesterday in my apartment with two other BNers. Firehorse was going to join us, too, but we were bummed she couldn't make it at the last minute.
First of all, I didn't realize until I looked at this picture later that we were total cavemen. Sniffing scents, drinking wine, and eating all at the same table. At least we took our cigarettes outside.
I had a great time meeting you both. I continue to be amazed at what awesome/smart/dashing/tasteful people are contributing to BN.
An incomplete list of things that got sniffed:
Unfortunately, we did not get to cacio's masculine florals pack or ODriu, which was kind of the point of getting together. I don't know how time caught up to us so quickly.
There was one casualty by the end of the night. Slumberhouse Miehl, that viscous (viscious?) honeyed goo, leapt out of its vial and attacked a Chanel Cuir de Russie. We cleaned her up as best we could, but she will bear the scars for the rest of her shelf life. These upstart American niches are really going after the big designers.
(I'm certain R'Oud Elements bullied Dior Homme Intense when we were outside, as there were tear stains on its silver collar when we came back in.)
