It took me a while to really appreciate it but I wouldn't deem it as harsh either. If it wasn't so soft and fleeting on my skin, I'm sure I would have purchased a bell jar some time ago.Treborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268714141520821640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-55821269829494990902011-06-11T19:33:09.930-04:002011-06-11T19:33:09.930-04:00Hi Josephine.

You know, I remember reading a review on makeupalley or fragrantica that compared La Myrrhe to Aimez, and I meant to compare them, because I'd never thought of it before and it made me curious to see. I'll go do it now. What I remember of Aimez is a sort of doughy licorice violet thing, so in theory I would say no, they don't resemble each other to me, but you never Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-45045686739239003312011-06-11T17:21:24.759-04:002011-06-11T17:21:24.759-04:00Dusan, I was startled when I smelled La Myrrhe and...Dusan, I was startled when I smelled La Myrrhe and felt like I had a new barometer for the line.

Abigail and I are going through one of those phases where life takes over and the blog takes a bit of a back seat. But I always hate my time away, and find myself itching to get back. I know Abigail must be gong through a pretty hairy time. Moves are always so...fun--ain't they?

It's weird but the things people find odd don't ever seem so odd to me, with the exception of a few like Secretions Magnifiques. I often wonder if I'm a little deluded and have no idea how bizarre they smell on me. It also seems though that my chemistry tames a lot of what seems most extreme, loud, or confrontational inBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-87390784465780646142011-06-11T16:46:34.361-04:002011-06-11T16:46:34.361-04:00Brian, I agree with all you have said in your revi...Brian, I agree with all you have said in your review of La Myrrhe; foody and spicy with hardly a thought of myrrh.<br /><br />Does it remind you at all of Caron's Aimez Moi?

I might have been impressionable in my early perfumista days when I first smelled it, but the fact remains that nary a one perfume has since provoked a similarly intense reaction in me.

I've been very curious about Iris Silver Mist, too, I'm but wary of it. I am still hung up on wearable frags--ones I can actually wear out into my world, which unfortunately isn't populated with perfume hipsters.
