As I said above, will have to try the KM again, I barely remember it. A good orange is hard to find

Please don't take my word for it, at one time it had quite a few fans on MakeupAlley. It just doesn't suit me.

By rights I ought to adore this one, but I don't. I get the merest hint of citrus which quickly devolves to a not very pleasant musk. On the other hand, Keiko Mecheri Sanguine, which I'm quite sure was inspired by the MPG, works beautifully on me, the orange stays bright and true and the musk thankfully does not take over. So there you have it.

Like M, I really like several MPGs (Or des Indes, Ambre Precieux, Soir d'Orient), but I haven't tried this one. Doesn't sound very appealing. .

“Wet dog” might be it, K. Or des Indes is actually one that I haven't managed to try yet, but I got a sample recently and we'll see how it goes.

Hope you will like the Bahiana. I probably woudn't have said it was my kind of thing either, but as it turns out, it is.

I have and love Or des Indes. I also have Sanguine Muskissime. The blood orange note really appealed to me when I sampled it, so I sprang for a whole bottle. Much to my dismay, the “wet dog” accord that typifies the musky drydown of MPG's Muskissimes is there. It's not as strong as in Rose Muskissime, but it's there. Hence the bottle has gone sadly untouched for quite some time.

I seem to remember liking a few MPGs… Racine maybe? The men's did seem to work better than the women's. I've got a sample of Bahiana coming, though it's generally not my kind of thing (although I do like caipirinhas).

It isn't soapy to me, but I think I've heard others call it soapy so (???)

Really? I know I've tried the KM but can't remember it — wouldn't have thought it would be so musky. Will have to snag another sample.
