This is very interesting fragrance, I must go to the perfumerie and try it again.

Interesting, it didn't remind me of Le Feu at all — will have to give it another shot while wearing both.

i quite like it because it slightly reminds me of le feu d'issey which was very interesting, but seemingly just for me and a very few others, as it was soon discontnínued and now miyake just sells the eaus which annoy me, or sometimes (but it is waning) you can catch the le feu d'issey light which is nice (it is the only fragrance i have bought twice) but does not have much tzo do with the original one-i find it to be almost an opposite of it in fact.

i do not eat cornflakes anyway, fattenning stuff.

but i agree the price is too high. i would immediately spend it on “luxury” perfume like l'artisan parfumeur though.

You can like any scent you like w/o peeing on anybody's cornflakes

Sorry to pee on someone's cornflakes here, but I like this fragrance. But I guess I am only basing this on my wife's skin. She wears this well.

I do find it very expensive for a YSL though considering I could buy a 50ml bottle of Penhaligons Bluebell (which smells divine on her) for only a little more – let alone the online bargains.

If you can take Mitsouko, I'm quite sure you can take Miss Dior!

I was able to sniff this one…absolutely beautiful! The florals are lush yet fresh, tending towards the dry end. But all the time you catch the masculine notes at the base pushing up, giving the floral bouquet a lot of texture and excitement and a bit of strength and daring. VERY GOOD! I think it's well done.

Thanks, R. Wouldn't have bought BB — unsniffed, yet! — without all the raves on this site. I knew it was an “important” fragrance for an aspiring perfumista to understand. Very relieved to find it wasn't nearly as hard to understand as I'd feared. Almost disappointed, in fact, in that I want to sink my nostrils into a real challenge! Bought Mitsouko and find it a fascinating education. Could Miss Dior be the next test? Have failed that one before, but maybe I'm nearly ready. . .
