What a great cheap thrill! OK, joining in very late here…today I sampled Hermes Hiris for the first time and I swear, on me it's so close to Tout Oublier I can't justify buying the Hermes.

Agree entirely that Tout Oublier is not a million miles from 28 La Pausa. 28 La Pausa undoubtedly uses WAY more expensive ingredients, but Tout Oublier is lovely, and lovelier than many things that have done with more expensive ingredients, for that matter. I do think Toi Mon Prince could be a huge seller though if it found the right audience. Lots of people love that kind of patch-syrup -- hence Flowerbomb -- which I've actually upgraded in my sentiments lately just because it is so much better than so many other patch-syrup concoctions ;-) So glad you liked them too!

Two of these are Very Very Good Indeed, and for this money - unbelievable! OK, the Toi Mon Prince is not my thing - that patchouli syrup effect is just what puts me off Flowerbomb and Angel But the Tout Oublier is just gorgeous; as you described, there's a fleeting impression of what smelled to me like wet newspaper, but this rapidly disappears...and I'm left with a quiet, elegant iris behind which lurks a hint of somethíng woody and/or papery. I really, really like this one...and it definitely is not a million miles from 28 la Pausa (which turned out to be my favourite from the Exclusifs). The Aux Anges is much stronger on me; there is lotv, but more than that I get a bright, clear jasmine. To me, this is an astonishing dead-ringer for Chantecaille le Jasmine, which is about 6 times the price here in the UK (and which I love but can't afford). I'm honestly stunned by the quality and elegance of these; if they charged two/three/four times as much, it wouldn't be a rip-off. Of course, they don't have the sillage of alcohol-based scents, but hey! at that price I'm more than happy to keep the experience personal. They don't morph into something cheap, and the Aux Anges lasted for ages on my skin. If anyone wanted to enjoy the fragrance world on a limited budget, this would be a superb line to invest in.

Didn't love it, didn't hate it, therefore don't have much to say about it. But -- it is floral, and so not sure it will be what you're looking for.

Tout Oublier is another one I think I'm going to need. And, like Marina, I hope for collections around both spices and leather. :-) Given the price and decent quality, I really don't care if they're wildly original or not.
