Hoo boy, what a horror show. I like 'em skanky, but this just smelled BAD on me. I believe it's the sandalwood, which almost always curdles on my skin into something inexpressably rank--I get the same effect from Santal de Mysore. Here, however, the cumin chimes in and amps up the BO factor. Then, to add insult, once the funk finally dies down I'm left with nothing--no boisees, no incense, just a trace of something that smells like it was fermenting in the gutters for a season. :(( OK, so I finally tried the El Attarine on.

Just read the reviews. :"> But as I said in my notes today, I loved her back in the day, and I was rooting for her fragrance to be decent. And it sounds like better-than-decent. Seriously, the bottle's good? I mean, in person? Nah, I didn’t get it.
