Design by Paul Sebastian

I must add in defense of this, my first real love. Admittedly, it smells completely different on my skin and doesn't get where I really want it to be for a few hours, once it mellows and does its thing with my chemistry, it's absolutely perfect. It's not often that my skin chemistry works FOR me, so this may be one to try if you've had a string of hard luck. Maybe a little dated, but warm, clean smelling- a little sweet, but not cloying. Not so awful, after all.

Insolence by Guerlain

Not sure at all what to make of this. During a day of fragrance shopping, this one stands out as different from all the rest. Sweet violets, but maybe something a little funky in there, too? An old friend used to buy some kind of gris-gris candles to burn for good luck, etc. There's something here that reminds me of that smell. Not completely awful, but not a slam dunk on first smell. I'd encourage anyone to try for themselves and see what happens.
