    I always love to listen to JCE, he has such a lovely way of expressing himself.
    I tried this at Printemps Paris. It’s very unusual and very different, at least to me, from his work with Hermès. I’m not sure that I love it, but I found it very intriguing.

      Oh good, glad it is both unusual and different from his work at Hermes.

        I would be very interested to hear what you will make of it. It is at least worth a try.
        I found the drydown a tad sharp on paper, but not at all in skin.
        Mind you, my sniffing skills were not on top form as I was coming down with a bit of a cold. It always seems to alter my perception of scents a bit, when that happens. I will resniff!

    Like with Cap Neroli, I am sold on this one. Off to Nordie’s I go.

      Is it out in the US yet??? I’m very tempted to blind buy, but thankfully not at Malle pricing.

        DO NOT blind buy. I was sure I’d love it, and I didn’t at all.
