Today (10/24), breaking into more Alkemia samples. I did straight Rose Rouge (layering note) on one arm, and Rose Rouge layered over Fixative on the other. I really love Rose Rouge, but it fades really fast on me. I suspected it might, which is why I'm also trying it with Fixative, but I think the Fixative + Rose Rouge is going to be a scrubber. The description on the site says it's "designed to blend well with most perfume scents without throwing off the overall olfactory balance", but I find it very strong and very sweet. I applied maybe half the amount of Fixative as Rose Rouge, and all I can smell now is the Fixative, which I find to be sickly sweet.

I'd FS Rose Rouge in the blink of an eye if I could figure out how to make it last longer. I had high hopes for Fixative, but boy do I dislike it.
