Ah, I see I took forever to repsond to this! I hope you enjoy the Rochas – it strikes me as something you might like. One of the two great loves I owe to Angela (Azuree being the other, which I believe you enjoy as well.) Maybe you’re the one that prompted me to try Eau de Monsieur? Can’t remember….

Erin, how did I miss this post?!?!? I love every.single.scent on your list, with the exception of the Rochas, which I have not tried and will remedy this forthwith. I am so glad to see less-known DKNY and AG Monsieur on your list, and I think you know how much I enjoyed Portofino, to my surprise.

I won’t go over all of it again, but yes Trish McEvoy has a terrible web presence. There are a few times when I swear I’ll never buy another one of her products again b/c of that frustration – or her one season only approach to her products. She obviously doesn’t care about her websales. But she is a lot of fun. Don’t be too disappointed – Citrus Petals is no longer available…

Boy, I’d be in trouble if repeating yourself here was frowned upon! I like to read about Habit Rouge Eau Légère, because it convinces me it really did exist.

I bought mine from the discount/discontinued shop I mentioned in the DKNY Women list entry. I bought a 40 ml, but perhaps I should go back and get some more before I need to get a replacement in Paris!

Yes, Germans tend are either a tad too rational or they go through the roof with their conceptuality… I heard about H&G. I will have a look at the web site! Elternhaus are a different example, though arguably with more self-irony.
HR Légère is somthing I go on about again and again. I hope that’s ok in a blog I fell stupid sometimes for repeating myself…

I guess by “suspicious” I mean I have truly disliked a number of perfumes that list it as a note, and I figured the common denominator of my dislike must be linden – but then I’ve liked a number of scents just called “Linden”. I blame my suspicion on the shifty perfume industry… but I do like the image of it lurking around my house in the shrubs!

ARG, another Trish McEvoy thing to covet! I’ve been desperately wanting to try out her makeup, but she’s not in Canada and, odd for a large company, her website/online presence sucks.

Well I have no official information; it just does not seem to be sold anymore. I think I read on Basenotes that you still get some from a semi- secret supply in one of the Goutal shops in Paris. ( Like Eau du Fier)
It is such a pity, as it is such a beautiful cologne.

Hmm…vaguely suspicious? Is it lurking in the bushes behind your house waiting to spritz you with some stonking floral? I am curious about this comment, lol. My fav linden is the recently discontinued Trish McEvoy Citrus Petals #8 – nice clean fresh linden mimosa-y musk scent. But since lime is so fleeting in frags, when I want awesome lime I just take it in a gin and tonic.

I have yet to try Exotique and Turquoise. I’ve only recently began dipping into PdN – I’m waiting for my samples of Temps d’une Fete and Just en Reve as we type!
