I have used Caleche since it came out and love it. I usually spray a little onto a small piece of tissue and insert down each bra cup. This is because the paper holds the scent for days, whilst my skin loses it within the hour. (Except soapy ones; these I can't even scrub off -ugh!!!) It is our own skin chemical makeup that contributes to a perfume's final waft -which is why none of us smell the same when wearing one -and this must also be a headache for designers of!

As you described it is initially soapy and ,almost offensive, like liquid soap in an airport restroom. But wait! After about 30 minutes it comes into its own and that powdery dry-down comes forward. It is very tailored and versatile and could be worn day or night dressy or casual. Elegant but not prissy. Best of all quite feminine and sophisticated.

She loves it too and wears it all the time as she often does with a new scent. Thanks for a well written review!

I hardly remember the MW Incense, actually, except that I liked it but didn't love it. Wish I could remember why, incense is usually one of my favorite notes.
