Don't even go there if you think you'd like something comparable. The L'artisan is very bright and luminous and very clear, but with no soapy overtones. The Jo Malone is also bright and light but doesn't cede to white musks. Perhaps that's why it lasts only little while compared to other frags (oh well...).<BR/><BR/>If Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-27930712786442897112009-04-12T13:03:00.000+01:002009-04-12T13:03:00.000+01:00March,Easter Bunny is good, give them time, church...March,<BR/><BR/>Easter Bunny is good, give them time, church is not as much fun!:-)(but it does have other joys, even if not pious).<BR/><BR/>The overdose of metallic musks in several fragrances often leaves them with a quality of "inhumanity": IMO one wouldn't really want to come close to someone so "sterilised" ~from fear of soiling them, or them being rather "alien", it is detaching...It's a Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-67516527921145022002009-04-12T12:59:00.000+01:002009-04-12T12:59:00.000+01:00Jena,I know how you like the original Infusion d'I...Jena,<BR/><BR/>I know how you like the original Infusion d'Iris, so I can sense how disappointing it must have been... :-(<BR/>Isn't UMDO completely different than any gardenia out there?

It seems like the "clean" school is having a resurgence. I see it from where I least expect it (niche lines, Lutens, a few Chanels like Beige) and it makes me wonder if perhaps it has to do with some attempt to provide a cultural platform Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-40439608113491447922009-04-11T16:17:00.000+01:002009-04-11T16:17:00.000+01:00Hi dear Michelyn, how are you and thank you so muc...Hi dear Michelyn, how are you and thank you so much for the rec!
