If it lasted longer, it would probably be number 2. (1 is Iris Silver Mist and 2 is L'homme de coeur. Can you tell what note is my fave?)However, I wasn't really looking forward to this because it seems like TDC is now moving into more "abstract" fragrances rather than focusing on specific ingredients, which is my preferred method of Billy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773336429810369206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-70244659194146968022008-07-23T14:04:00.001+01:002008-07-23T14:04:00.001+01:00Good God, is this the newest in their bag of trick...Good God, is this the newest in their bag of tricks? The "cantaloupe note" had me going "meh" at the otherwise competent Jardin apres la Mousson.
