If you want to trade fragrances, I highly recommend the swap boards at MakeupAlley or Basenotes. You're more likely to find others trying to trade by posting there than through the comments here.

Would anyone care to trade? Also a bottle of Avon "Haiku" unused. Cleaning out your drawers can be a treasure hunt! I am new to this blog but it is marvelous.

I really wonder how many people in the US put cologne on their babies -- I always just assume that most bottles are purchased as gifts or for adult use. I've certainly never smelled cologne on a baby here. Interesting.

Will try to get to that soon. Haven't tried the others you mentioned though. Now wondering: are the J & J colognes popular there to actually use on babies? Or are adults wearing them? The whole idea of putting cologne on a baby is so new to me, I'm not sure what I think of it. The 2 I mentioned above I got so I could see if I liked them myself, not for a baby.

Now I am more likely to be wearing at home than when I go out. Need to try some of the Coty musks, they are easy to buy here but not so easy to find testers.

Comfort scent? Hmm, until I bumped into MUA I wouldn't have understood what it meant because I used to wear fairly bright fragrances, mostly when going out, never for myself at home (seemed like a waste). The one scent that's always made me feel cosy (as well as sexy, for personal reasons I won't get into) is Coty Wild Musk, and until recently I only had a few drops from 1975 and couldn't get any more, so it was only for reminiscing purposes. Now that I have a good supply of it I can use it liberally - at home. The memories are getting fainter, though. My other comfort scent would be Parfum Sacré - the peppery notes are very muted on me and the sweetness is *just* right. Looking forward to the interview.

I did a short review of Peau de Peche already, and also love Fleurs d'Osmanthus and Bois de Santal. I will try to review those soon!
