I appreciate the herbs because Am. was just too intense & sweet for me. The same for Lux, it needed toning down. I also like the lightening effect of the aldehyde. I think this is a winner. I'm so unhappy this is almost impossible to get now. I'm very sad....... Why make beautiful stuff & then take it away?

I actually work with Mona dna have done for a while and have also had the luck to meet several of Edmund's contemeporaries and wanted to just point out that Mona did actually spend the best part of 10 years. At the beginning she was as an observer then quickly went on to be a student of his until she finally started working for him until he died. I think they have different styles anyway but her personal homage to him was Lux and I suppose if you were to revisit Le Parfum de Therese or indeed Diorella you can see the links between Lux, Oiro and indeed carnation in some of the seeter rounder and richer accords. Just wanted to clear that up and won't comment on anything else as I always try to stay inbiased! Happy sniffing all and I'll keep on enjoying reading :-) Just a quick little reference to carmencanada regarding Mona and her time with Edmund.
