They Both Sound Wonderful… have never been disappointed by Banana Republic (first time for everything i am sure, but not as of yet) and these Sound great. LOVE OSMANTHUS and hope the women’s version is as scintillating as it sounds…. am already sold on the mens version!

Hey, no need to pardon…was just curious! And went to peek at Basenotes — they say 1997.

Good question. I first picked up a bottle in the late 1990s (’97? ’98?) in Vancouver but I have no idea when it first appeared. A thousand pardons!

Isn’t that always the way? The masterpieces get no attention, LOL…

as i mentioned it IS a “soapy clean” floral – Bobbi Brown was referring to was the women’s version of “W” btw, not the mens. sometimes a simple scent for under $50 for 100ml is just right. i find it a perfect scent for work or very hot days. uncomplicated & pretty. it does bother me a teensy bit that it gets tons of compliments & my Apres l’Ondee parfum gets none…..go figure
