Marvelous story! Yet another testimonial to the power of perfume!

I love this scent. Mainly because many years ago (1977) I had this wonderful girlfriend who wore this regularly. She even scented her letters to me with it. Oh was I ever in smitten. Unfortuantely, we were star-crossed and eventually fell apart. One day at work some 16 years later, I was walking among the cubicles when suddenly I was stopped dead in my tracks – my knees went weak, my heart started to beat very rapidly, and I felt slightly light-headed. It was all a bit of a shock as I tried to sort out what was happening to me. After a split second I realized that I recognized that scent; Cheri's Azuree! A scent that I had not smelled in all those many years! I stepped back a few paces and there was a woman in a cubicle putting her purse away. I asked her if she was wearing Azuree. With a bit of a curious and surprised look on her face she said, 'yes, she had just put some on”.

It took me a little while to recover.

Erin, I know, and MR probably knows if she's still subscribed to this review, that you are perfectly sensitive and have a terrific sense of humor. I love a little satire, myself, and take it all in sport.

MR, if you are referring to my comments, I certainly didn't mean to offend. Disagree with you on the “wrong enough of the time to be useless” though, and I find many of us Canadians kind of perversely revel in our beige-and-boring rep. Of course, most of Italy is not at all vulgar, but I think it is important to take things with a sense of humour (I'm a Canuck, after all, and we're known for that, too.)

Madeleine, I'm guessing that the commenters who mentioned “vulgar” aren't still subscribed to this post, but I feel safe in saying that they didn't mean to be insulting at all. After all, where would we be without Missoni knits, Barolo, truffles (it's truffle season!), Lorenzo Villoresi, Botticelli, taleggio, and Verdi? On that note, I'm off to the grocery store to pick up some gnocchi for dinner!

Oh my god – I was enjoying your remarks on this perfume, but wanted to clarify with you – I'm hoping your comment “slightly vulgar Italian feel” isn't meant the way it reads. Though vulgarity is in the eye of the beholder, as a woman of French and Italian descent, I sooo wish you would re-phrase your comment. Stereotypes are dreadful, aren't they? One could say Americans are vulgar and lack substance in their taste, Canadians are generally so boring and beige… and of course, these comments would be wrong enough of the time to be useless. Could we agree to meerly say that the scent strikes many as a bit vulgar and leave ethnic or geographic prejudices aside? Much of Italy is anything but vulgar, but your comment seems most vulgar and unkind. I'm sure it wasn't meant that way, but if it is of interest to you, it surely comes across this way.

Azuree and Private Collection are very different, so maybe you'll have better luck with Private Collection. It's definitely worth stopping at the EL counter to ask for a spritz. I wish they had readymade samples of the old Azuree, Private Collection, Aliage, and Estee so that people could try them for a few days without having to spring for a bottle.

I'm sorry to say that I gave up after three hours and washed it off, and sprayed on lots of Chanel Allure Sensuelle, which elevated my mood instantly. The stale beer (glad you liked my description, btw) just would not go away. Oh well, more Azuree for everyone else.

I read your (very nicely written) review of EL Private Collection just now, and it, too, sounds worth trying. Hopefully it will not react the way Azuree did! I *am* a WASP, so perhaps that will work in my favor.
