Allright, so far this is what I've gathered from reading the Basenotes reviews:
1. Neroli Sauvage
--Overall pros: Rich wood citrus breathtaking drydown
--Overall cons: Doesn't last mediocre citrus after the first initial blast it's just generic
2. Orange Spice
--Overall pros: Refreshing long lasting good sillage funky elegant warm weather scent.
--Overall cons: Kourus' less perverted evil twin not as complex cold weather Christmas scent
3. Citrus Bigarrade
--Overall pros: Bold balls-to-the wall oranges combined smoothly in a fine citrus scent.
--Overall cons: Fleeting citrus scent reminiscent of lemon pledge rather than oranges after the topnotes fade
4. Zeste Mandarine Pamplemousse
--Overall pros: There's an orange note in this clever mix of citrus and this scent is fresh bright and long lasting
--Overall cons: There's no longevity to this scent as it evaporates almost as soon as the top notes.
You guys are diriving me nuts! Must I order a lifetime supply of Clinique Happy?
Yet I have confidence in the honor of fellow Creedheads who, despite their admittedly subjective tastes--not to mention often mild embarassment that they are praising a Creed here in Basenotes--have not merely strong feelings about the juices they love, but a clarity of expression founded on logic and experience.
( OK. So skip the compliment. What I'm really trying to say is that it's a damn shame those bastards at e-bay stopped the sampler trade here. )
In any case, if you have reviewed--or perhaps recently sampled any or all of the 4 above mentioned frags, would you be so kind as to share more light on the subject? I'd be most grateful.
My thanks in advance,
Mario
