You either get it or not. diorella has jasmine in it but it is like eau Savauge - just a touch "prettier". <br />I tell you - I must get some Carnel Flower if it ever gets in the shops here.lady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848082798225294725.post-51634074461174465392010-01-30T15:28:47.025-05:002010-01-30T15:28:47.025-05:00LCN - hope your nose, as well as the rest of you, ...LCN - hope your nose, as well as the rest of you, recovers soon. I tend to struggle with allergies in fall and spring (ugh), but knock wood, I haven't had any serious colds this winter. And yes, Big Mama Florals - especially florientals - are just my thing. Dry, handsome, intellectual, cheekbone-y scents are the sort of thing I admire but don't love. <br /><br />Lady Jicky, where ARE you? Australia? I have never smelled Diorella, although I do like Eau Sauvage, and I've heard those two share some DNA. Sadly for me, I don't get on with Mitsouko. I've tried and tried... after the fifteenth trial, I gave up. Different weather, different moods, different formulations... nothing made any difference. I admire it, I think it's genius - but I just don't like it. I've now given myself permission to just enjoy Attrape-Coeur instead. <br /><br />You know, I think I read a review of Carnal Flower where someone said they just loved it in the heat. I think because of that chilly cast over the warm tropical flower, it might be one of those rare scents that would be good in either heat or cold.Mals86https://www.blogger.com/profile/09757305840611623427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848082798225294725.post-7217026258491452922010-01-30T14:02:07.369-05:002010-01-30T14:02:07.369-05:00Its going to be 100f here so it sort of changes wh...Its going to be 100f here so it sort of changes what scent you would wear - I like Diorella in the heat. <br /><br />anyway - thinking of winter to come - you can't go past Mitsouko. <br />I wouldn't mind that Malle (so hard to get here as it always sells out!) but Carnel Flower would be lovely in the cold or on a hot night out!lady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848082798225294725.post-35550623258874056252010-01-30T11:08:25.127-05:002010-01-30T11:08:25.127-05:00Down for the sniffing count this week with a head ...Down for the sniffing count this week with a head cold, all I crave are big, feminine flowerbombs, the kind that punch you in the nose and say "PERFUME!!"<br /><br />When I feel better, I am going to make a "Muses in Wooden Shoes" list and go hunting. I haven't tried any of these save Carnal Flower!! I suspect you like Big-Mama florals way more than I have tolerance for, but all of these are well-loved scents. They just haven't made my sniff line-up yet.The Left Coast Nosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102549295051352579noreply@blogger.com
