SOTD 12.11.2023
The cold is on its way out and my sense of smell has slowly returned. Time for a scented 2-pass face shave...
Unfortunately, today's software is a bittersweet affair for me. I actually gave it away with tons of other stuff to help a fellow german who participated in the Lather Games this year. Despite me mentioning over 3 times that he can keep everything I sent him, he sent everything back a few days ago - without informing me. Including half used AS samples that I threw away immediately. Oh, and I had to clean the top layer of the Boonana soap since apparently rinsing soaps wasn't his thing either! I'm really pissed about the situation in case it isn't obvious...
However, Boonana is actually not as bad as I remembered. I still know how hyped I was for the release, everyone on Reddit having praised it... And to me, it was just a weak attempt at Samhain but with banana peel instead of pumpkin. However, on its own it isn't a bad scent. Quite the contrary - it's rare to see SW go in a gourmand direction. It's actually a pretty wearable scent, just not the hype beast everyone made it out to be.
Enough of my ramblings - hope everyone's Sunday was nice ✌🏻
