I think it's an opposite: I get pleasantly surprised if I try something that isn't as bad as I expected.<br />The closest to disappointment I was with Chanel (since I bought Poudre unsniffed). But the more I wear it (now without big expectations) the more I like it. It will never replace my favorite No 19 EdT but I will use up my bottle.Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-77497900318901564232011-09-06T21:26:42.105+02:002011-09-06T21:26:42.105+02:00Dear Olfactoria, I keep thinking I'm becoming ...Dear Olfactoria, I keep thinking I'm becoming so very snobbish because I don't even get interested in mainstream and then something catches my fancy and I think, ok, it might be actually good and end up disappointed. So, I'm sure there is a gem hidden among the hundreds of mainstream releases, but chances of me accidentally stumbling upon it are minimal. Microscopical almost. ;)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-64367886527030980552011-09-06T21:24:13.412+02:002011-09-06T21:24:13.412+02:00anotherperfumeblog, that is the worst part.

The perfume I ended up with, Addict to Life, is nice and a little different than what I'm wearing right now, but not exactly groundbreaking. We will keep sniffing for those rare treasures!Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.com
