The other day when you got into your jammies and mentioned Samars and Daphne I blind bought it and I love it. I knew I would. It’s been difficult to find a CdGarcons that I love. However, when mentioned with the Guerlain’s I knew it was fate. Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m working (?) my way through decant EDP of Guerlain classics. Vol de Nuit smells almost exactly like Weil de Weil at the outset – green green green galbanum. Swiftly they part ways. W de W stays green though leather at last seeps through, whereas V de N ends up, like so much Guerlain, on that cushy vanilla and coumarin velvet pillow – the Guerlinade. Mostly, though, they are sufficiently similar so that I may enjoy my plentiful supply of Weil de Weil without the pining “what if” that dogged me in my pursuit of Vol de Nuit. Is it heresy to say a perfume is “good enough?”

Vol de Nuit is one of the most beautiful fragrances I have yet encountered. It is the only Guerlain that has a slight Chanel touch for me. Could I be the only person on earth who does not like Mitsouko?

It is nice to know people can disagree in such a lovely, kind, civilized manner. Taking the plunge was easier than on many boards.

Kevin, He Wood/D Squared is well worth checking out. Dry-ish, nicely woody, well-balanced and v. attractive.

R: Lunch would be great and I'll be up in Vancouver before Christmas for sure. I've not tried the Lancome but since you're in Vancouver and prone to wandering the perfume aisles: DO SAMPLE HE WOOD/DSquared FOR ME ASAP…and report back. I think it's only available at Hold Renfrew! K

P.S. I met Frederic Malle briefly today in Vancouver. Also met Linda Primeau from Guerlain, who knows you and enjoys this site very much. We must have lunch when you are up this way!

How nice of you to do that. I love this site SO much because you guys are so damn talented, sensitive, helpful and kind. Patient, too. Did I mention great writers? Kevin, it's probably like Seattle today here in Vancouver. A very Vol de Nuit day. Tried it again yesterday though, and wasn't too keen. On the other wrist, wandering through the fragrance dept., I sprayed a little of Lancome Homme for the first time. Damn it, but I thought it was as sexy as Clive O himself. Is it too “commerical” for you, or do you liike it, too?? I'm just getting into men's fragrances: what a revelation!!! I love some of them as much or more as my own gender's!!! They have a sultriness missing in so many girly scents. . .
