In reply to annunziata. I'd love to know what you think of it! Hope that crankiness gives way to appreciation.

At the end of a long day, struggling with the elements and a few other things as well, my accumulated crankiness focussed on chypres — that is, the refomulations, mainly. I want a wonderful new chypre to wear, and I don’t know how I missed this marvellous article when you first wrote it…but thank you, I’m off to try some Histoire de Chypre!

(*groans*) I'm so jealous you thought of that first.

Haven't tried Frond,l but if it's a fresh green chypre, i am on patrol! Haven't sniffed Dior, Dior in a long time. I will admit that some green chypres go sour on me. But i'll have to sniff out Frond. After all, I could grow frond of it.

You, of course, Robin, are brilliant, too.

Sabi! That's a good one, and I'll have to try it again. Have you tried Frond? It's from an Irish company, and it's another fresh green chypre. In a swap I recently got my hands on a sample of Dior Dior, and it's another fabulous green chypre.

With the dollar in the tank right now, it's hard to imagine a trip to Europe. But I would love love love to go now.

I bet you were smelling a lot of different scents, too, which makes it hard. Well, get yourself a sample and give it another go. I bet you'll like it.

Paris sounds like all kinds of fun, but I'll have to leave any credit cards behind. Imagine the damage I could do…

I think I would have just dissolved into giggles right there. Being french is funny enough, but a drunk frenchman mentioning spanking- especially in a sport's context- too funny! Completely great review, though. As a total novice, it's nice to be educated a bit. 🙂

Oh, my review was crap. I went back on that Monday (Tuesday?) to resniff it and they are closed that day. I remember thinking it smelled good but expecting something with more oomph, but that's hardly a fair judgment based on one sniff with a faulty bulb — I'd have put on a lot more to smell it properly. So I guess I will have to do so again!
