Pizza Per Colazione (Pizza for Breakfast)
From the catalog:
"Another of the wicked foodies, how about a bit of pizza pie for breakfast? Heh, if you missed out on the limited version of this one from a fast food company, trust me, my homemade version is better. Quite Sicilian and with a bit more spice and spunk than they have (and not alcohol based, either). I think you will be amused."

I'll try to do it justice. It is an interesting one. At first whiff I get well-done pizza dough with some herbs and spices. It has that not-quite yet charcoal whiff - just a whiff. It doesn't change much as it dries, though it does soften and round out into more bready crust and loses the charcoal. The herbs and spices continue on through, maybe oregano, a little pepper, some rosemary? It really has an Italian feel. I like it and at the same time I'm not sure I want to smell like it. It feels like I've spent the day in the kitchen and spilled pizza on myself somewhere.

This is the only posset that has ever made me nauseous. It made me feel queasy, when i sniffed it, but i thought, oh i'll give it a chance and see how it plays out on my skin. Bad idea. My skin made it even worse. I had to scrub it off. Even then i felt a little ill for a few hours after, and lost my appetite. This was the day i got my order, so maybe it was travel shock, but i'm scared to even open it again because i've never felt so repelled by a perfume oil before. It didn't smell anything like pizza to me either. More like those weird stink bombs kids used to set off in high school, maybe with a touch of herbs. I dunno, i couldn't put my face anywhere near it to find out what the subtle notes were. Pizza that was forgotten in the corner of the fridge for too long, maybe.

I hope nobody else has the nose/skin reaction i did to this one.

*edit* Maybe it was some sort of stinky cheese. Fabienne, did you put stinky cheese and anchovies on my pizza?
