"Neonatura" was lovely, but heavy on the cocoa and wood. It dryed down to something very sweet on me. Not entirely bad, but not my preference. "Evidence" is nice enough, very dry. The gardenia is a good everyday splash---I wore "Gardenia" perfume as a teen, so gardenia has a place in my heart eternally...hahaha. "Ming Shu Fleur Rare" is a nice, dry oriental floral. Very aquatic. "Ode a' l'amour" is too sweet and jasminy for me. "Ode au reve" is rather interesting, however. I think it's such an odd fragrance: At times intoxicating, other times, dull and strongly of licorice. It seems like a very subtle version of the Lolita Lempicka evening fragrance.

I haven't shelled out for the Borneo myself, so maybe this will be my low end substitute ;-) Interesting, N, now I'll have to try them together!

It comes in a fancy wood box, and the bottle has 18k gold & diamonds. I'm sure the perfume is very high quality. What else can I say? From my point of view, unless it also provides food & shelter, and maybe a vacation in Tahiti, it is a definite no go. LOL — I guess it depends on your point of view.

Fortunately, you are played by Naomi Watts, so you are hot. Mysterious boxes with mysterious keys remind me of Mulholland Drive.

I WILL resist (sob) - having shelled out for Borneo itself (and I adore it), I hardly need the economy version too. Mind you, they do a handbag atomiser REALLY cheaply...
