I’ve never tried Addict on skin, but I have a friend who wears it from time to time, and it suits her. Do you like it?

Le Baiser du Dragon taught me to avoid fragrances that overwhelm rather than enhance who I am- I love the phrase! Angela, how do you feel about Dior’s Addict?

I have smelled Panthere–one of my friends wears it sometimes. I don’t have any in front of me, but I remember a soft-edged oriental, sort of “mature” smelling, but easy to be around. My friend bought her bottle at Nordstrom. Good luck! You’re a good friend.

Angela – have you tried Panthere de Cartier? Someone i know mentioned how she loved that perfume, but could not find it anywhere. I’m going to try and find a bottle for her birthday. Can’t see a review of it anywhere on NST, Bois de J, Perfume Smellin’ etc etc

Oh dear, I hadn’t heard that it was being discontinued, but who knows? I’d have thought it was selling well enough to stay on the market. I’ll have to ask around.

Is it true that this fragrance is being discontinued? Or it’s just a bad rumour that I’ve heard?

I know what you mean about men's scents–the Polo reaction sounds especially familiar. And that's hilarious about Joop, the poodle scent!

That was a great post. It's true how we get associative with scents. In high school I had a love affair with Poison, but I can't wear it at all or even stand to smell it on anyone because now it just smells like grape jelly and ammonia. I don't know if it was just a growing up thing and I wanted to cut those associations or what. Other than that one, I still love all the scents from my childhood. It's men's scents that will make me turn my nose due to bad memories. No man should wear Fahrenheit near me – he broke my heart. Drakkar Noir is the unreturned affection of a college crush. Joop is identical to the cologne they used to spray on my poodle after his grooming so that one cracks me up. Polo still makes me think of 15 year old boys smoking at the school dance and Aqua Velva Ice Blue is my dearly departed Daddy.

It never ceases to amaze me how a scent can bring back feelings and memories! Oscar de la Renta reminds me of a sorority girl I used to know who had the astonishing (to me) ability to shave her legs perfectly–even the knees–without missing a single hair.
