There's not a single one-- yet-- that I can't live without, although Papyrus de Ciane is one of those I like to pull out for those perfume doubters-- it's so strange, and so green, it catches a lot of people, myself included, off guard. And while I have no idea what an actual papyrus plant, sitting in a Nile marsh somewhere, steaming under an African sun, actually smells like, I feel like I <i>do</i> know what it smells like from his concoction.<br /><br />I am so right there with what Suzanne was saying about the DN coca dusting drydown-- couldn't have said it better myself!! And while it's a smell I like, it's not one I would like to wear.<br /><br />I just know one of these days I'll try a PG, and it will be all over for me: it will be love, love, love. Until then, I will enjoy reading your descriptions!!The Left Coast Nosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102549295051352579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-25504842101362946212011-01-30T12:16:01.915+01:002011-01-30T12:16:01.915+01:00JoanElaine, honestly, wherever you start, you will...JoanElaine, honestly, wherever you start, you will find something interesting and likeable in PG perfumes, even if they might not be what you usually wear.

A favorite for the turning of the seasons associated with the equinox, especially in the fall. It's more like the magic hour at the end of the day...warm light, starting to get diffuse, hay that was hot in the sun a few hours ago but now simply still holds some of that warmth...ahhhhh. :)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-23227995181102284922011-01-29T00:38:28.793+01:002011-01-29T00:38:28.793+01:00Ines, I'm glad that you reviewed these: I have...Ines, I'm glad that you reviewed these: I have a ton of love for the house, and Bois Blond is one of my most favorite scents!

Someone gave me a sample of Drama Nuii and the weirdest thing happened as it dried down...it took on this dusty cocoa smell that was faint to the point that I wondered if it was really there, yet nagging enough that it made me hungry. (Whereas overtly gourmand fragrances never make me feel that way, the constant "is it there or isn't it?" of this thing actually made me crave the thing I was thinking about.) Which is why I decided Drama Nuii isn't for me. :)Suzannehttp://www.eiderdownpress.com/Perfume_Journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
