I have a sample of Truly, and when I first applied it, I could have sworn I wore Chanel Cristalle EDP by mistake. It is remarkably similar to Chanel, but not as interesting.
I have tried Truly several times but it isn't particularly original or interesting. Considering the pricetag I expected more. I hope Madly and Deeply are better compositions.
V, I have a sample too but given my usual sluggish pace, of course I haven't tried it yet
F, I thought Madly was supposed to be released by now. Hope we will see them at all!
Well, I was pretty intrigued by your review but the ensuing comments have, thank God, dampened my enthusiasm. I'm being self-bombarded with perfume infatuations these days.
Hi L, that was Barney's description, not my review! I haven't even tried the stuff yet
I also heard somewhere that another one was released, but haven't heard since – who or where? Truly, I didn't like Truly. Hoping the Purple Deeply will be wonderful.

V, I *think* that Truly was launched at Takashimaya, and had in fact been on the shelves there for some months prior to its official launch. Based on that I'm assuming that Madly will materialize there first too??
Alien is at Bloomingdales. My daughter & I sampled it today and it's wonderful! I don't “get” the name, at all though.
Thanks so much for commenting, I think that is one of the first postive comments I've seen on Alien. I have a sample and hope to get to it soon.
You know, I just posted about this — I think you've pegged it exactly, it is very similar to Chanel Cristalle, and as I love the Cristalle (use it by the buckets), no wonder I really like this one too. Good call!
LOL — you found the reference that I couldn't remember, good going!
