Allow me to take this time to say thank you to Basenotes and all of the fellow Basenoters that make this such a great site. I can get on here and be rescued from the nastiness of the world. Here when opinions differ..that's just it..they differ. Most people on here agree that fragrances are subjective and people have a myriad of reasons for loving what they love and loathing what they loathe.

I’ve lived with dogs for the last 30 years. I’ve read about how much better their sense of smell is than ours. Yet I’ve noticed that Lisl has no interest in any of the fragrances my wife and I wear. Why, I wonder?
