Actually, it lasts, just not as forcefully as I like. I feel most all of the Chanels aside from Coco are basically colognes.<br /><br />Very few musky perfumes register on me. There are several floral musks which do: Vivid, Versace Woman, Rumeur. People of course hate all these, though I hear Vivid is the number one selling fragrance on Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-42937142077323746222010-12-22T11:30:27.062-05:002010-12-22T11:30:27.062-05:00Brian, how do you feel about Coromandel?
