Bad testing day today.
Top notes of Mahjoun hit me as just the most annoying iodine note.Or some other hospital note that unearthed unpleasant memories. It should be "bitter almond, cardamom, cherry blossom, lavender, lemon and orange"....right. After a few minutes now it's starting to show some ambery notes but I just can't stand the beginning to consider waiting for anything after that. And the damn iodine note is still there anyway.

Maitresse AP
Not entirely forgetable, not necessary to mention either. Bottle is pretty, wouldn't mind it for office scent.

MDCI Enlevement au Serail.
I'm thinking of this as a variant of Mitsouko and need to investigate differences as well as look into layering Mitsouko with something like a Jasmine attar or essential oil and see if that would do the trick. 200 somefin is a lot of money and &drooling for those 600 $ bottles may cause too much of a dent in finances.

Rose tea?
Top notes are rather acidic/alcoholic. even though this is oil...It does remind one a lot of Tea Rose . Can't say I'm lemming for the juice but the bottles sure are pretty.

Lavender D Karan vs Yves Rocher
The first whif of DK is Lavender, the actual scent of the flower as if encapsulated. Just the lavender without the herbal smell or other scents distracting. It settles in a pleasant but somewhat forgetable floral wherein the lavender leaves center stage. Will have to layer with stronger bases.
The YR is is light sweeter lavender. Settles into somewhat sweet and plasticky ...something with only a vague reminder of the lavender.

Houbigant - Bois Dormant.
Quite gorgeous! Can't remeber the top notes but after a few minutes of development I got a surprising dose of elegand wood, reminiscent of Bois des Isles. It seems to have settled in a gentle, cozy tone. Would love to have bottles and bottles of this.
La Labo Oud 27
Very metallic oud. An interesting exercise but wouldn't be crazy about wearing it a lot.
