He's progressing his ideals via all his releases, I feel, therefore familiar phases are bound to emerge.

I have been comparing the new Toit to Nil, Nil to Kelly etc. The conclusion I have come to is the style bears Ellena's signature so strongly, it is like listening to the Beatles. You always know it is him. I perceive the difference between the Nil and the Toit is the sweetness is upfront in the Toit and the green is next. In Nil it is reversed.

It would be probably even more unusual than the edt but if you compare Terre d'H in the two concentrations, I imagine something along that line. I love fragrances that are tart and somewhat pungent in extrait version although those Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451092262381231105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-79472664397006478502011-06-01T09:53:09.883+01:002011-06-01T09:53:09.883+01:00I just happened to come across your blog.

It feels like good old Jardin sur le Nil, which I'd love to get in extrait for somewhat denser effect, but with some hard candy and white flowers thrown in. <br /><br />At the end, I got Iris Ukiyoe instead.

From your description it sounds like something I would likely appriciate a great deal, my only qualm is as you point out that it might be too similar to earlier JCE scents, I already own Kelly Caleche and a number of others. Perhaps I'd better manage to smell it before commiting myself to a full bottle!<br />Which Eva Snoreply@blogger.com
