    It’s one of my favorite fragrances, but older bottles tend to have more pachouli. I personally prefer the older bottles because I love the heavy pachouli note, but I think Estée Lauder toned it down once they acquired FM.

      Ahh interesting! I have no idea what year my decant is from unfortunately, but I’d assume it’s a more recent version. I really like it either way 😊

    I'd be curious what he thinks after a couple of hours!

      He said “Ivory soap”, but he says that about everything haha. I said “rose?” He said “no” 🙃

    I’ve only tried it once but I wasn’t on board at the time (and feel very unsophisticated in that opinion). I need to see if I still have my decant to give it a second attempt!

    The trick for me is ONE spray under my shirt, low. One day I will go to an EVENT and wear it wear it.

      Definitely one to spray lightly! I would LOVE to wear this to a fancy evening event
