I have a similar experience of it. There is absolutely something a bit naughty there, despite not being the raunchy animalic musk I so often see people describe it as. I find MR to be wonderful partly because of its different facets. It's sexy, but it's also warm, comforting, and sensuous. <br /><br />Anyhow, when I get a full Proximityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467892665320381277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-33435238943557138352010-07-02T02:08:03.359+01:002010-07-02T02:08:03.359+01:00What is it about MR that it's caused me to &qu...What is it about MR that it's caused me to "delurk" too? I've only recently purchased a decant of the classic MR and have to say that I'm smitten. I was expecting a bit more musk but, in the end, found that I didn't miss it.

I couldn't agree with this more. The late, great decorator Geoffrey Bennison had a similar saying, regarding interiors: "Always put something mad on top of something very good, or something very good on top of something mad." I think it gets at the same point. <br /><br />I(IN)DECOROUS TASTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530203128806251142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-10011806477194970582010-06-30T13:41:30.323+01:002010-06-30T13:41:30.323+01:00E, sorry to use your blog for this (your email is ...E, sorry to use your blog for this (your email is obviously not working): could you please get in touch with me as soon as possible.

I was totally surprised about this when I finally tried it because it is not, as you say, what you imagine a musc to be. <br /><br />In fact to start with because I had heard so many reviews about how it was sex in a bottle and so on I was a bit under wowed.
