It did not turn metallic or stinky-sweaty. I just know how it made me feel: elegant, put-together, competant, content, happy to be in my own skin. How did it do that!? I never felt that way before or since. I got hooked onto Chanel and vetiver ever since.<br /><br />The reformulation of this eauArxsynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705963118520835160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-43488305270131415612016-04-29T09:08:42.189+01:002016-04-29T09:08:42.189+01:00Anon, the main reason is that Dior have considerab...Anon, the main reason is that Dior have considerably more perfumes in their current portfolio than Chanel have.

It's my favourite Chanel for some time now. Earlier I liked No 19 and Cristalle and I haven't tried any of them after 1990.

They're both quite different from each other. The Guerlain tries to lighten vetivert, whereas Sycomore tries to make it much darker and heavier than it already is.<br /><br />Oh, and I like Cambon too. Very sophisticated!Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-17800945725393591782016-04-26T22:57:58.581+01:002016-04-26T22:57:58.581+01:00I went through 2 bottles of Sycomore and now I fin...I went through 2 bottles of Sycomore and now I find it kinda boring and flat. I would pick Guerlain Vetiver over it every time.

I absolutely ADORE how it starts: the smoke + sandalwood + vetivert combo is just so sensuous, it needs to be arrested! But then I find that the vetivert always grows more metallic and stewed and stinky-sweaty. I guess some people like that.Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-54613285836845613442016-04-26T09:03:17.362+01:002016-04-26T09:03:17.362+01:00The SO: Sycomore!

It makes everything more special.<br /><br />Coco is a funny one. I know it intimately because it's one of Madame P's scents... but I just never find it especially interesting or distinctive. To me, it seems like an echo of lots of other scents.

I've worn it for years and find it so addictive. I reapply it throughout the day and never tire of it. I never observe fragrance gender and I find it more masculine than feminine. There isn't anything quite like it for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839273321917848514noreply@blogger.com
