I've realized recently (after having some smushes returned to me) that the particular wax paper I used for those smushes is not great for the task.

I'm glad you liked it even if it arrived mangled and weakly scented. :)

Improper handling and storage was surely done on my side since I received it (I was impatient and didn't properly remove the smush from the wrapper, and letting it lie around since then without any protection probably didn't help), and the scent strength was clearly stronger when I used it for the first time. If there was improper handling before, I really couldn't tell ๐Ÿ˜…

On the other hand, I tried to find a matching perfume dupe โ€“ Magnificently Dubai is not very spot on, but I like it even though it isn't that close ๐Ÿ˜Ž
