I obtained a sample of this from the guerilla store last December (Patty from the Posse alerted me to its existence - how uncool am I)and was unmoved. It's perfectly pleasant and won't scare the horses. If this had been a celeb scent I would have been impressed but its CDG, for heaven's sake!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
