Clair de Musc began for me with what I call the dreaded 'hairspray note' found in so many musk perfumes I have tried. It was not remarkable or what I expected. But I decided to let it linger and see what happened. As time passed it became softer, a bit more rounded. Later still the floral notes became more pronounced. Finally I was left with a wisp, a faint trace of the cleanest, sweetest scent. Very nice.

Angel was my first real, true love- a love that lasted for seven years, in fact. The soft, candied sweet topnotes, the sensuous chocolate-patchouli drydown. I though I'd found the one. But then I began to find Angel everywhere, in every cafe, meeting me on every street corner. Angel's love was a little too freely given. So I had to let Angel go. I still do long for Angel at times, but I know that it happiest making others happy, not just me and me alone.

Hmmm, I first tried the body cream of Nu and it was *ok,* then months later I tried the perfume. Black stockings lingering of strong perfume and perspiration. This may get some going, but not my idea of sexy.

I wore Opium when I was 18 (imagine!). To the relief of everyone around me, I assume, I stopped wearing it around 19. I avoided it and actually detested it for years, but recently made the acquaintance of a chic lady who wears it quite well. So, though I still cannot wear this, I no longer wish a black hoodoo hex on anyone else who wears it.

Very powdery, antiquey rose. Similar to Chanel No. 5-her naughty little sister who, in an ttempt to be 'grown-up,' wears a little too much blusher and stays out all night. Not for me. However, fabulous packaging.
