Until today,this fragrance has smelled on me like rotting peaches,hairspray and a barnyard where maybe an intestinal illness had hit all the animals.This surprised me as I have worn chypres and orientals all my scent loving life(I'm 36 now,so that's included some especially good decades for those categories)and have worn Shalimar on&off since high school and think it's fantastic.Kept trying with Mitsouko,as I frankly felt bad about myself for what my chemistry was doing to it.In the meantime,I fell in LOVE with Caleche and quit thinking of Mitsouko until today when I braved it again and-it's gorgeous!It's doing everything all the positive reviews here claim it does!I'm interested in similar stories and also if anyone has had this happen only to revert back to stink?And was it falling in love with Caleche that helped me along?Did I just need to be 36?Should we try this hard to "get" a fragrance?In this case,I believe it was worth it!
