I really did try hard to love MR - all the talk on Basenotes , you know ...<br />I think it was perhaps the one time I should have listened to the sage advice of the Barney's SA . *LOL* and gotten Iris Poudre. I can also think of better musks than MR . I found it rather disturbing at all times .<br />I forgot to say I absolutely love January Jones.
