So yeah, this almost undoubtedly has more notes than are listed above. Almost every perfume has some sort of musk or another, and almost no “lists of notes” are complete.

Does it just settle that way?..into base notes I mean. I have read a few perfumes that don't list anything but flowers, or are they leaving something out? I really hope it gets good reviews. I am just about sick of mainstream fragrances getting bad reviews, Luckily, my boyfriend doesn't know niche from designer, nor do most people. On the post about loving a fragrance after a few sniffs, I was the only one who mentioned popular mainstream fragrance. I guess I feel left out because I don't have easy access to niche or boutique fragrances-and lack of money doesn't help. to bad so sad. I love fragrance though, so I'll just keep sending away for samples until I know what everyone is talking about. :D Does a perfume have to have base notes?

Sometimes the fancier caps actually look worse to me than the plain ones. Yes — for $ reasons, they're pretty much stuck w/ plastic, and plastic just never looks as nice as the glass.

Third -- "classifies itself" is a key point. We'll see what Michael Edwards calls it.

WOW! This is something I am just DYING for... my first Fragrance Desire of '09! it sounds HEAVENLY! Pear Blossom... Vanilla Orchid (GOD BLESS US ALL!)... Magnolia... Mimosa... What more deliciousness could one ask for other than Frangipani and Osmanthus being in it! :-) That and the Violet Leaves and Heliotrope (have loved Heliotrope ever since i first recognized it in the Eponymous Donna Karan Fragrance back in the day!) And I SO, SO, SO, SOOOOOOO LOVE That Bottle and the Packaging! I am very Much less harsh on Bottle tops than most, I think this top suits the bottle Just Perfectly. OK... maybe had it been Etched Glass or Maybe even A Clear Glass Cabochon that might be better but, hey... I LOVE IT! cannot wait for the release... all of Valentino's Fragrances have been DIVINE (did anyone ever smell the women's Vendetta? CRAZY GOOD! Rock 'N' Rose is Awesome in all it's Incarnations as well!) Am Waiting with Baited Breath here! OH GOODY GOODY GUMDROPS!!!!!! WOW!

This sounds suspiciously like a fruity floral, but classifies itself as a chypre. Where is my beloved oak moss? OK, I'll admit I am a sucker for real rice steam, and I'll go sniff to see if I can detect it in this. Bottle is cute, though. Once more, I am scratching my head.
