Victoria, the musk is funny, it almost disappears on me, although I can feel it. Re the caviar farm: eeeeewww! (How’s that for a professional response?) I have almost all (small) decants, so mostly stuff is used up before I see what goes wrong in terms of shelf life. I hear lots of things turn funny colors, too. :frown:

Cait — I think the OJs are very distinctive, base-wise. There’s a theme there. My guess is you would like them. Ta’if was initially a head-scratcher for me, and then I loved it. You like things greener than I do… have you tried OJ Woman? Can’t remember… I think it’s right up your allee.

I find it very potent, but I do not like it that much, because it has too much woody musk in the base. It seems unbalanced. The one thing I dislike about OJs is the fact that the juice is not filtered. After a while, white residue begins to accumulate, and then the bottle looks like a caviar breeding farm. Not appealing at all.

I love white flowers so this seems de rigeur. Haven’t tried it or Ta’if yet. Keep em coming. Another fume task for London in 12 days. evil: of conspicuous consumption that I am.

I think Ta’if may be my favorite… it’s an interesting process, these were not love at first sight. I had to adjust my nose.
