Vanilla Musk by Coty

Although this isn't my favorite scent, it is one of the best vanilla-sandalwoods around (a bit of white musk holds the basenotes as well). It is dead cheap, and therefore definitely worth a shot!
I've gotten so many compliments when I wear this, from men and women both! The woman who my sleazy ex was sneaking around with made him find out what I was wearing, and adopted it as her own!
Geez, so much drama around a cheap perfume!
But really, for the buck, it's a great bang.

Fracas by Robert Piguet

I really love tuberose, but this smells like burning rubber on me. The florals don't last, but the burnt rubber does. Yuck with a hefty price tag...
However, on a friend on mine, the florals stand out - she's getting my bottle.

Black Orchid by Tom Ford

Given this by a friend who knew I love orchids....

What a terrible stench! The truffle was not as bad on her as it was on me, but we both scrubbed it off - or at least tried to!

It does endure - a plus if you like it.
I get none of the sweeter, deeper notes that others love - only funk and stench. No development past the awful rot.

I sooo wanted to love this! But it's impossible on me. I tried to wear it a second time - same bad luck.

Even the friend who gave me the cool-looking bottle doesn't want it (sigh).

What a waste of money. One of the worst disappoint-scents in my career!

Organza by Givenchy

Oh, I get the sandalwood in the drydown too! It is my current favorite -even edging out Rush... Sexy... makes me drool.
