And I mean hat in the nicest way. The lotion brings out the fruitier side of the fragrance, whereas the EDP - which has not enough staying power - is more balanced amongst the neroli, warm spices , iris, and woods.

Yep, it truly is a weird world we live in! So - about the fragrance. I was pretty impressed with both the women's and men's versions of Carlos. Unlike most other celebrity fragrances, which tend to smell like they're just going for broad appeal, I get the feeling that Carlos would actually enjoy and/or wear these himself. They both have a Latino/tropical/ edgy rock star quality to them that perfectly suits Santana's image and his music. Of the two, I prefer the men's version, but I wear both. Especially good whilst salsa dancing. ;-) Had fun reading the various comments on celebrities' excursions into the wild world of marketing and advertising. Yep, it truly is a weird world we live in!

I think they are still, for the most part, dependent on creating something that impresses within 15 minutes on a paper test strip. No, can't think of a single celebrity scent that I would classify as "compelling", except maybe Cumming, which I think is a great fragrance. I hear Deneuve was just wonderful but it is long gone, and I also hear good things about the fragrances by Isabella Rossellini, but I haven't tried them.

But SL or l'Artisan are creating a scent with a different goal in mind -- an interesting scent, but not necessarily one that's going to fly off the shelves. SJP Lovely is nice, though... so I have to ask, are there any celeb scents out there you find compelling, even if they're not "you"?
