I am with Lee on the Harmatan Noir -- it is one of the few scents that can stand up to the humidity here without concurrently making me feel nauseated. Assuming we ever get a Spring long enough to enjoy it as such, my picks would be these: 1. CB Wild Pansy -- like fresh-cut grass next to a forest after a brief rain. 2. SL Fleur de Citronnier. Light but substantial and so damned happy. Only when the heat really hits, the tuberose takes over and, well, let's just say I am not a tuberose gal. 3. Miller et Bertaux Green, Green, Green. I am a TREE! 4. Gobin-Daude Sous le Buis. I am a Boxwood TREE! 5. Miller Harris Rose en Noir. Every time I wear this juicy dark rose I start visualizing magentas and purples, which is perfect for the explosion of azaleas taking place across the street from my building. Plus, all my deliciously skanky little friends start baring their naughty little legs: Rochas Femme, Jublilation 25, Lelong Elle, Elle...

LBloss was nice, seems more like a typical Malone offering. Dark goes on harsher than usual for a Malone but dries down to something rather delightful. Neither lasted the night, which is typical for a Malone on this >-). I also realized that I now have a sample of nearly every Malone - and I forgot all about most of them! That Dark One might be one I remember for awhile, though. xo I just yanked both samples out last night (forgot I had them) and spritzed LBloss on the left and the Dark One on the right.

I'm forever cursing scents that have no *lasting power*, so I think it suits me fine. Then again, aren't you the magnifier or something?
