However, I think the disappointment is because my nose keeps thinking, "this is Emeraude but wrong," and I'm trying to yank it over into Emeraude territory when really it's just a few houses down the street. (I recently bought some 70's vintage Emeraude pdt which is so gorgeous that I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever wear anything else I love as much.) I like the saffron and hay; I like the not-foody vanilla; I even like the unripe-banana note. It's only in the far drydown that it smells even remotely like Guet-Apens/Attrape-Coeur to me -- it's that sweet amber. I like this, but I don't love it. (more $ saved!)

I like the saffron and hay; I like the not-foody vanilla; I even like the unripe-banana note. It’s only in the far drydown that it smells even remotely like Guet-Apens/Attrape-Coeur to me — it’s that sweet amber. I like this, but I don’t love it. (more $ saved!)

You can pin 'em down with words, and then they still refuse to be entirely defined. I want them ALL -- and then some!!! In Vancouver it is SO COLD; there's an Arctic front that's settled, and it's absolutely frigid here. Wood pudding scents are THE way to stay cozy!!!

But in the comments to the L&L review, someone who works in a store that's selling it says it's doing very well. So we shall see! If you ever figure out what it smells like, come back and tell me! I thought it might be Ma Dame, but no, and after that I gave up. I promised myself I'd stop wasting so much time identifying fragrance cousins... You would think it was a goner!

If it's about cats and vanilla, I think a better spelling would have been Felinilla. And if it's about crime and vanilla, it should be Felonilla. And if it's about something else, we weren't going there. Whew! Got that off my chest. I really want to try this fragrance, because I'd love to have an interesting vanilla-based fragrance that doesn't smell like baked goods. And I'm liking the PG line a lot! Thank you for the review, Robin, and for putting up with our comments. :-) Well, the name is pretty silly. If it's about cats and vanilla, I think a better spelling would have been Felinilla.
