Chergui is pretty terrific (although I don't know how it would blend with gnawed flesh!). I'm with you in wishing that more companies offered smaller bottles.

She's made great choices, although I have a little hard time with Cuir de Russie. Smells a little to independent and self-assured to me. Smelling Chergui reminds me so much of puff pastry (in a good way) that it makes me want to eat the wrist that wears it, including my own! Roses and chocolate...Cannabis Santal has it, but doesn't really smell like it. Makes me that much more desperate for a full bottle. *SIGH* the hunt continues for a bottle online at a discount price, or at least offer them in 50ml bottles! Gosh Amy Yang is the true romantic!

Maybe something with a little fruit but still sexy? I'll keep thinking. The Holy Grail is out there somewhere. Not hopeless! Maybe something with a little fruit but still sexy? I'll keep thinking.

I've tried all the TDC's to no avail. All pretty but not sexy. Did I mention I live in Florida where it's going to be 78 degrees today? What a winter! So the heat and humidity really play a role in what to wear as well. I might be hopeless?! Yes A, find me some great frags!!!!! I've tried all the TDC's to no avail. All pretty but not sexy.

It's interesting that Cuir de Russie has kept showing up. I like it, but I've never thought of it as a particularly romantic scent. The leather is so ladylike. But on the right person, I guess it could be really sexy. Great list! It's interesting that Cuir de Russie has kept showing up.

If he has a favorite, why not wear that? I can see where the Tauer scents might overwhelm you. I'm trying a few from The Different Company today, have you ever tried those? (I'm determined to find some great fragrances for you, K!) The TDC scents I've tried so far are structured light and ethereal, but still interesting, and not overwhelming at all. Such a good point!

Just like Coco, it smell great on others but on me it's just too much. It smells like I'm trying too hard. I believe on Valentines day you should just wear his(or her) favorite. There are plenty of fragrances that I love that he thinks stinks! Why not please them all day and wear what they love best... now thats love! :-) Yes, but will Maroc work for a fair skinned, blonde like me?

But how nice to see testers of both the EdP and the EdT of Cristalle! Have never seen that anywhere, even in the Chanel boutique in NY (which actually doesn't do nearly as good a job with the perfumes as say, Hermes).
