I am also grateful, in a sad sort of way, that most things don't work on me, sparing me much drama in the spousal arena when the credit card bill comes in each month.

I know I would have paid about 3x the actual price for a bottle of PdN Fete, I love it that much. And all I could afford of Lyric was a decant - but it's another Great Love. Whereas conversely, I've run across a number of Lutens and Guerlain frags that were obviously well-made, out of quality stuff, that I wouldn't give you a dime for. And then I really really liked Tauer Une Rose Chypree - but considered it out of my price range. What is a wonder and a joy is when you find something gorgeous AND affordable!

I think the perfume for the day should be "un jardin apres un monsoon" or however it's spelled. “skewing off into an aquatic swamp” sounds like New England today. torrential downpours, thunder storms, rain and more rain.

It's probably appropriate for the house to create such a scent in order to extend the line...though then again, I don't know. It is another path they do so well...perhaps this is a case of "should stick in their own sandbox." Where they play nice. Really, really nice. :) Which brings up a whole other question: I wonder if we have individual convergence points that describe our "won't cross" line when evaluating quality vs. price? "Quality" being a somewhat nebulous term that includes our personal experience of a scent, not necessarily limited to (or even largely determined by) the grade of materials in the juice. I know I have bumped into my line a number of times, now...haven't tried to connect the dots yet. Hmmm…it’s scary when “meh” and “skyscraper price” start to converge.
