[...] Before I dwell on the scent, I’d like to mention one peculiar fact about Stoned: it’s said to contain diamond dust. I’m not sure exactly what that means and how it affects the fragrance or why it’s even necessary in perfume. To be honest, I’m puzzled. Nevertheless, I choose to blindly follow my nose which declares over and over again its unconditional love affair with Stoned. It’s amusing at times to observe where your nose takes you. With Stoned, it took me to the paths well-traveled, so to speak, for I kept finding more and more similarities with some of my other favorite perfumes. This chameleon of a scent first resembled Voilette de Madame by Guerlain. Later it was Orchidee Blanche by L’Artisan. Then all of a sudden the drydown became almost a dead ringer for L’Air de Rien by Miller Harris. Upon further sniffs, I got Bois d’Armenie by Guerlain and Cashmere for Men by Cristiano Fissore. At this point you might say, “Forget it! It’s hardly worth it”, and you’ll be much mistaken for, despite its kindred spirit, Stoned is a scent of its own merit. Moreover, it’s multifaceted and multidimensional. The initial sweet, powdery notes of heliotrope and rose create a baby-powder-like effect but it doesn’t end there. The real transformation happens when labdanum and musk enter the scene – we get some animalic action. The drydown has a slightly dirty, mossy undertone which gives it a soft vintage effect. All that combined with the excellent staying power, truly funky bottle, and a hefty price tag makes Stoned unbelievably irresistible: you’re stoned indeed. [...]

I am so in love with Cashmere for women! To hear that this one conjures the feeling of wearing cashmere, I must try it as well. I am so pleased that luckyscent got these magical scents. Thank you for reviewing Ina!

Ina–yes, I am sure it was you. You threw in an unopened sample as a swap extra awhile ago; I asked you what it was, and you said “I don’t know; something I got from Lisa.” She must have given it to you as an extra, and you passed it on without trying it (or thinking about it much). I, in turn, tucked it away somewhere in the same manner. None of us had ever heard of it then, so the name made no impression (and you didn’t really “get” it on purpose, as in send away for it). But I would bet you $1000000000.

T–yes, I remember have both Presidents’ b-days off too; so much better than the generic Monday.

Tom, what a bummer! PO being closed is always the worst nightmare for a perfume addict. Hope you get your stuff tomorrow!

Judith, um, I don’t think it was me as I actually just got a sample myself for the first time. As for your thoughts on holidays, I heartily agree.

Elle, I think you’ll quite like both of them, actually. Beware.
