Would you say they have a similar vibe, texture? I fell in love with the first one after knowing it for years and not really getting into it, now I am smitten! The drydown is exquisite too!

As for the spiky woods, not all people are that sensitive to them, but I thought it fair to give warning... It's not actually the smell of them that have that effect, but the dryness feels like cactus needles in my nose.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-77860348560433024012014-05-13T17:31:32.062+02:002014-05-13T17:31:32.062+02:00"Spiky woods" alarmed me as well!

I love wisteria, though I find it a bit stifling also from an olfactory point of view: there's a huge tree near my house and stopping under it when it's in full bloom can make you choke for an indole overdose!iodinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-76670653674663540252014-05-13T16:43:10.665+02:002014-05-13T16:43:10.665+02:00Yup, spiky woods is always a dealbreaker if I can ...Yup, spiky woods is always a dealbreaker if I can detect them.

Lovely. As for the scent, I'm not detecting great love from you, an impression reinforced by your use of the phrase "spiky woods".
