In fact, I was wondering about Karanal and the Goutals when Victoria was writing about it in conjunction Matin d'Orage some weeks ago. Another reader described the sensation of smelling it as having spikes of wood crammed up his nose--he meant, in a good way (!), but I recognized the basic feeling of being attacked by a specific scent underneath the others. So relieved it's not just me... Too bad, though--they're all perfumes beloved by others.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651065872724626149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-7351766361083056552010-04-30T17:14:16.273+02:002010-04-30T17:14:16.273+02:00Wonderful list!

I've actually asked Isabelle Doyen about it, specifically about Vanille Exquise and Le Jasmin (shows I'm not crazy if you get that too). She said she'd look it up as she doesn't know her formulas by heart, but then we moved on to something else and I still don't know.<br />I suspect it's a woody amber material that I've nicknamed "spiky wood", Karanal or Ambroscenene or the like. I'm hyperosmic to it, as are a lot of people. I know for a fact that the latter is used in Jubilation XXV (the masculine one).

And a bottle of Ninfeo Mio is in my near future, (possibly Untitled - love the soft incense in that one). Meanwhile I'm grateful to some kind people who have recently gifted me with samples of the Gardenia Petale which is borrowing my heart from the tubey bender I've been on since Paris (except from when I've been wearing Amarathine!)Love both photos accompanying this post.
