I think the ones I've tried were indeed 'clean and tranparent', which type of scent tends to disappear from my skin in minutes.<br /><br />Yes, that is funny.I did like FdM, and I hope it doesn't get discontinued. <br /><br />Ha!

Clean and transparent, but not thin. And actually, have you smelt Al Oudh?? That hasn't had a bath since the Middle Ages! And Dzing is pretty funky too. And then there's Timbuktu, which manages to be crisp and interesting.<br /><br />As for Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-43562628829356755622011-04-19T14:40:04.076+01:002011-04-19T14:40:04.076+01:00I just wandered in to House of Fraser and tried Fl...I just wandered in to House of Fraser and tried Fleur de Male.<br /><br />Hmmmmm.. The first note (what I've heard called 'laundry musk') which I got at at first sniff, made me think this was not for me. But now it's been on my skin a while, I like it. I don't think I'd wear it, but I'd be happy to smell it on someone else.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-90880600560986625172011-04-19T14:38:49.266+01:002011-04-19T14:38:49.266+01:00Alexander, it certainly didn't give me an appl...Alexander, it certainly didn't give me an apple pie vibe, but there you go.

Certainly, those I've tried disappear too quickly. And as a lover of full-blooded vetiver, I don't like the sound of this much.<br /><br />Funny, I was thinking about Fragile the other day, I saw it reduced online and wondered whether to buy it.
