I have not tested Strip yet, and I am pretty sure I won't get that chance., but I sure hope it's different from the first two AP scents. Have you tested Strip ?

Aldehydes can be very soft though, esp. once the top notes evaporate. I'm sorry, but I only gave it a brief try on a scent strip — I'm really not going to be able to be any more help.

I don't see anything sublte about aldehydes. Would you say Maitresse is anything like Chanel no.5 or YSL Rive Gauche? does it have the same synthetic feeling to it? well, I am not crazy about floral aldehydes either, and at first I ruled out Maitresse, but according to the ENORMOUS amount of reviews that I 've read all over the internet these past few days, trying to make a decision about what to buy, I've noticed lots mentioning how Maitresse is sweet and sexy and has a really good subtle drydown, and it kinda confused me.

But since they did Strip+Tease candles to start, it seems likely that we'll see a Tease scent. I really didn't like Maitresse at all, in fact, I didn't even put it on skin, but then, I'm not really a huge fan of aldehydic florals. Not sure what I'd compare it to other than any other aldehydic floral. It is soft though, and maybe easier to take in some ways than the original AP.

Michael Edwards classifies AP as "mossy woods", which is how he classifies most chypre scents. I would not compare the original AP to any of those.

Not sure what to recommend. I don't think AP is universally loved by any means. I like it, but don't adore it, and doubt I'd ever go through a whole bottle. Interested to try Strip, or the upcoming Tease, either of which might be lighter without being so light and airy as Emotionelle. Ah, that makes it hard. Not sure what to recommend.
