This was at the start of my perfume obsession, and I haven't been disappointed by MetM since then, though I don't reach for it very often. Your writing once again makes me want to pull it off the shelf. I love the combination of the musc, fruit, and citrus, and it still feels quite original to me despite the glut of fruit on the market.<br /><br />You add an interesting footnote about Turin's retraction of his claim of reformulation. After reading in several places how good the "old" MetM was, I lamented the fact that I would never know the <i>greatness</i> of this scent, even though I was quite happy with the current iteration. It's nice to know that perhaps I'm not missing out on anything -- or at least not much -- after all?<br /><br />I still haven't sampled the Extrême and I'd like to. I'm curious about the extrait as well, but at that price point, I'm not very eager, especially since amped-up rose and patch sound as if they might actually detract from this lovely, zingy "classic."Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-91133504188010717202009-06-29T20:56:20.121+02:002009-06-29T20:56:20.121+02:00March, it *is* cheerful.

Then a year or two ago I tried it again, perversely, and promptly bought some! I have no idea why. It's as crass and cheerful as grape soda, I suppose (probably something you don't have) and some days that is *exactly* what I want in a perfume!
