On another front--March, I finally got enough Silver Factory to spray, and I do believe you are right that this makes the difference. I sprayed enough to get sillage (important to me) and I am enjoying it very much--MAY more over to more than that. I received a compliment at a New Year's party on it (although when the complimenter asked what it was and I replied "Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Silver Factory," she looked really perplexed, and then brightened and said, "Oh, Andy WARHOL!". Ok. Sometimes I wonder if I should make up names):) Happy New Year to you!!!!

The Amber I liked best (it's a labdanum-based scent) but I couldn't believe the price! So I went home, mixed some good quality labdanum resin with real vanilla, neroli, and carnation in perfumer's alcohol, mixed it up, let it sit a bit, and got almost an identical scent for $10 instead! But full disclosure, AG's just don't work on me, the sharp thing happens. The 3 incenses are definitely worth a try, though, I just balk at the price.

If I didn't have a lot of friends that sent me things from everywhere, I think I'd steer clear of a lot of things until they showed up or I got closer to them, :) Happy New Year to you, too, we're glad you found us too.
