At the same time I consider people reading Perfume Shrine because they want to read and share informed conversations on fragrances. Thus as a contributor I can only present and develop my ideas to the fullest, and to show my work when called upon. At the end of the day people need to form their own opinions.<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-66199753336584206942013-04-01T17:11:58.009+01:002013-04-01T17:11:58.009+01:00Dear Albert

Calone was available for perfumery in 1989, after the patent on Calone held by Camilli, Albert & Laloue (a Pfizer Company) expired. To my knowledge Cool Water contains a overdose of Dihydromyrcenol. Just compare Aramis New West (Calone) to Cool Water to notice the difference.Christofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780325763707984284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-55117815610095249242013-03-29T16:37:38.903+00:002013-03-29T16:37:38.903+00:00What an interesting debate!
