Ok, octonauts, help me decide which I wear today, based only on the name: Dzing! or Suave Petals?

@SuzanEraslan "suave petals"???
Sure - let's go with that.

@SuzanEraslan I want there to be a whole range of "petals" scents. For every occasion.

Like, do they make an "impolite petals" for when you'd just rather not have to talk to anyone?

@PW Not that is called as such, but I definitely have a fragrance I wear when I specifically want to be left alone. It doesn't smell bad, just not the kind of thing you want to lean into.

@PW Yup-- it's called Eau Absolue by Mono di Orio. It's very bitter and sharp, like biting into pure bergamot. Geranium and cistus labdanum, though flowers, can be very needly and loud and it's full of both. I love it, but it's a defense barrier, not a come hither scent.
