All has to be processed by the liver, the organ most people don't think about. If you have a stuffed head and runny nose, it's because the liver is congested and the phlegm can't move downward.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't survive the scene in Bergdorf's you describe, just because I'm super-sensitive to scent - love it (you knew that!) but overload would overwhelm me.<BR/><BR/>Layering is beautiful and sensual. I am working on some layering soliflores/soliresins/soliwoods ;-)<BR/><BR/>Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-29758330192264313212007-10-02T14:31:00.000-04:002007-10-02T14:31:00.000-04:00Sounds fascinating!

I think it is true that you can give yourself olfactory fatigue that can last awhile. One of the reasons I hesitate to do more than one day of a Sniffa -- the last two times after the first day I was in deep migraine for hours...but this time I am more aware and will be more careful. Just that when you are in a place like Bergdorf's and there are maybe fifty perfumes being sprayed around you, and you have tried maybe 10 already even on a scent strip -- not even on skin, it is just too too much. The most difficult is, I find, the home fragrance reeds wafting scent into the air -- sometimes in a row of 5 or more. I love layering, but more something like scents laying beside each other or on different areas of the body, and not really on top of each other so much. I am working on a post on layering, in fact. But you are right to warn against the perils of over stimulation...indieperfumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933060392329498890noreply@blogger.com
