Gentle Fluidity Silver

Testing out Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity Silver today. It's a quite unique (to me) scent that is fine for the summer. It may be not quite so good in really high humidity but overall, I am quite impressed.

Little Lies

Robert Pattison revealed in an interview with The Irish Times that he was forbidden from revealing his audition for the part to anyone - including his Tenet director Christopher Nolan. Except, considering Nolan is perhaps the master of secrets, Pattinson’s “lie” didn’t pass.

I had to be really secretive about Batman stuff,” the actor said. “So I had to lie to Chris about having to go for a screen test.”

I said I had a family emergency,” Pattinson explained. “And as soon as I saidit’s a family emergency’ he said: ‘You’re doing the Batman audition, aren’t you?'”

More Functions II

Return the value of one function and use it as an argument of another function.

def add(value_1, value_2):
    return value_1 * value_2

def subtract(value_1, value_2):
    return value_1 - value_2

def divide(value_1, value_2):
    return value_1 / value_2

def multiply(value_1, value_2):
    return value_1 * value_2

age = add(6,45)
height = subtract(7,1)
weight = divide(210, 2)
BMI = multiply(105, 6)

print "Age is: %d." % age;print "Height is: %d." % height;print "Weight is: %d." % weight
print "BMI is: %d." % BMI

what = add(age, subtract(height, multiply(weight, divide(BMI, 2))))

print "That becomes: ", what, "Can you do it by hand?"

Amouage Reflection Man

Bit late to the game as this first appeared back in 2007. I found it very underwhelming. A floral, powdery scent that has decent sillage and longevity but isn't for me. It's not that it's too feminine but more that it just doesn't warrant the kind of money asked.

It strangely reminds me of the powdery quality in Versace Pour L'Homme. For an expensive niche scent, it's a major disappointment. I'm glad I only bought a sample. Never blind buy a fragrance that costs £270 - no matter how much it gets hyped on YouTube.
