Comments on: Iris Ganache and other Oddities http://perfumeposse.com/2007/06/18/iris-ganach-and-other-oddities/ Perfume Reviews from Around the World, as long as the Credit Card Holds out. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:33:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Vance http://perfumeposse.com/2007/06/18/iris-ganach-and-other-oddities/#comment-38482 Vance Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:19:44 +0000 http://perfumeposse.com/2007/06/18/iris-ganach-and-other-oddities/#comment-38482 Okay, all these comments on weird perfumes and no one has mentioned Etat Libre d'Orange's Secretions Magnifique? I mean, I know the context was supposed to be frags from this year, I guess the whole subject of strange scents provokes my post traumatic stress disorder stemming from having "experienced" Secretions Magnifiques. More metal than a teenager's music collection. All those reviewers commenting, "I don't get notes of semen, I just get blood." I think I should prefer having my olfactory nerves cauterized than ever let that...stuff near me again.

I am convinced it is a very well done and natural anise note and I get that that is what gives that amazing ozone after a shower effect, but it’s still a deal killer note for me. As to the exquisite Enlevement au Serail (FK#3); I know it’s just on me that the tuberose comes forward like a rubber trumpet. But I can wear Shalimar (and, I think, every other citrus/vanilla I’ve tried) in EDP and parfum and most L’Artisan’s go poof on my fair dry skin. As to weird, Nostalgia and Bulgari Black come to mind, but for DS1, they have been the only thinks he has liked.

And Wild Hunt, oooh... I'm disappointed in most CBs, yet I keep trying, and at least 3 of the new releases sound like must-tries... You know, you made Declaration sound tempting to me!

Of course the ones I want are all higher prices, but that is predictable. And yes, the ones that don't work on me are the lower prices. There must be some genetic thing in that.

I've already gone through half the sample. Maybe I will be dangerous and apply it before going out in the 100+ houston heat in august. It will have to do something then!
