I know it's some people's fave past-time to bag on the thread-mover, but I appreciate the linking of redundant questions to one thread when it keeps the board neat. I think she didn't do that in this case because the original threads are so old that they're archived, read-only.
It's also a courtesy to the noob because then the noob doesn't think people are rudely ignoring her/him when it's really a matter of no one's interested in rehashing an old topic.
But if it's fun, carry on...
As for Morrissey's perfume, last night I thought I smelled Avignon Incense on Boz (at the
Girl in a Coma show -- great fun -- catch 'em in Long Beach tonight!). But upon reflection, I think it was something else because it didn't have the acrid smokiness. But maybe that's because the smokiness dried off and left behind this strange sweet biscuity note (which evokes Nabokov's description in
Lolita of Humbert's childhood sweetheart's perfume blagged from the Spanish maid). It wasn't a typical male cologne, which I usually despise. It smelled quite sweet. Maybe vanilla.
Well, a lot of it transferred to me when Boz hugged me, and the scent hung around me, tickling my nose all night. It had an overwhelmingly sweet, powdery scent with some woodsiness (maybe cedar) in there, too. Anyone have a guess as to what cologne I was smelling? I've never noticed Boz wearing such heavy amounts of cologne before.
I wonder if Moz made him and the rest of the band wear it!
Jesse smelled quite sweet, too. It was probably the same scent. I wonder if it's because when they record, they're locked in a small room which Moz has sprayed with copious amounts of his chosen perfume. It's like that at concerts. Sometimes they spray the stage, and sometimes I've seen them burn incense.
If I see Boz again soon, I'll ask him what he was wearing.
