Thank you. 'Course you just never know, sometimes you like the notes, but then it turns out you don't really like the notes. My L.A. trip to Barneys was tragically cut short, and I could not find your La Jolla beach scent (so I'll just trust you on that one) but they had all the Malles, the appropriate Lutens etc. I was hoping to like Daim Blonde after reading several mentions of it and the highlighting of apricot, and I smelled it and was reminded about Turin's comments on Italian perfumery about "cashmere indigestion" - all suntanned floral or fruity oriental perfumes with soft spices but no danger in them. Who knew? I like eating apricots, but apparently they're too sunny for me otherwise... My, that is a very diverse list! Thank you.

But I do not love when people phrase their comments in his vernacular. They never sound quite right. I wondered the same thing about GFY, but I've seen worse than that printed in the Times.

I do break my "don't buy unsniffed" rule from time to time, and was tempted for this, but in the end wouldn't do it for a set labelled "oriental". Might have caved if it had been anything else: citrus, woods, florals, chypres, anything, but not orientals. See, now why do you want to ruin my cardamom by adding patchouli, LOL?

They sound right up my scented alley! I've thought about them and thought about them but have been on more of a retro kick lately, buying classic Givenchy's and Dior's...albeit re-worked of course. So for the life of me, I can't fathom a cardamom aroma...I have some in my kitchen...be right back... ...mmmm, that's quite nice! kinda like lemon at the top with earthy green notes in the bottom, would love to smell that with a little violet and patchouli... xox marls So did you buy these, R, or did you test them?

Were they worried that people would be offended by the name "Go Fug Yourself"? And no mention of The Manolo!!! Of course, he already gets press to spare, LOL -- he has a column in the Washington Post Express, and the Philadelphia Inquirer did a whole article about him earlier this year.

And they spelled your name correctly, at that! I haven't been in that paper since my wedding announcement, going on 25 years ago. I was surprised that they didn't give "Go fug yourself" a full blog mention, and just wrote about Jessica. That blog is a treasure!
