Khadlaj Island Ma*tur*ation
Just wanted to share some experience on ma*tur*ating Khadlaj Island.
Last year I purchased a bottle of this as a gift for a friend. I really enjoyed the profile; even right after the bottle was opened. This year I decided to pick up a bottle for myself. I immediately noticed the juice smelled different. But I purchased direct from Khadlaj, I have no concerns it’s fake. I figured it must just be a batch difference. I figured I’d let it sit for a while. However, I was discussing with an acquaintance who works at a Le Labo boutique, and they mentioned that, unofficially, they recommend customers seal the fragrance in a bag, and leave it in a part of the fridge that doesn’t experience much temperature fluctuation(ie crisper drawer set to low humidity); and then allow the fragrance to slowly come up to temperature before spraying, as to not allow any condensation to accidentally enter the fragrance. So I decided to grab my bottle, a packet of silica beads, and a ziplock bag. Did the aforementioned steps. Kept the bottle in the fridge for 3 days. Removed it that night, and transferred it to a well ventilated cold room in my house to sit overnight. The next day, towards the afternoon, I sprayed the bottle, and lo & behold. The juice smelled exactly as I remembered the bottle from last year. Just wanted to share to see if anyone else has tried this and experienced good results; and if so, what bottles? Also just figured I’d let anyone know who has a bottle of Khadlaj Island, that doesn’t think it’s smells exactly as it should, should give this method a shot.
