The fruit and moss effect is extremely long-lasting: possibly the leather base is what serves to anchor it (leather: no wonder I love it).carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-3836802016080360962008-11-04T22:59:00.000+01:002008-11-04T22:59:00.000+01:00The drydown of the old one has something special -...The drydown of the old one has something special - green jasmine-leather-styrax chypre - that reminds me after 3 days several beautiful chypre from the 70's. I have in mind Sikkim from Lancome, a very daring and modernistic approach. But this small effect is evident only after the big fruit is evaporated. :)Octavian Coifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18342689176413052674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-23378175276994344892008-11-04T08:50:00.000+01:002008-11-04T08:50:00.000+01:00Brava, Michelle, exactly my way of thinking.

Bring on the oakmoss, bring on the allergens (none of my vintage stash has ever brought out shingles).<BR/>I'll be addressing the issue of retrofitting in another post -- the idea that some scents are "dated", which I don't care for at all.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-33125821449180580592008-11-03T23:45:00.000+01:002008-11-03T23:45:00.000+01:00Retrofitting a great juice to suit the times is pa...Retrofitting a great juice to suit the times is passe and uninspired.
