Never did, though.<BR/><BR/>I'm fascinated by the different responses to it. To me, it's actually a bit blah. I love florals, but UJSLN's flowers don't seem to have any individual character. I just get a sort of artificial generic blossom note.BitterGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262639525430954930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827710570238033434.post-79787607578923154872009-03-20T22:53:00.000-04:002009-03-20T22:53:00.000-04:00Well I don't know anything about all this scentism...Well I don't know anything about all this scentism and perfumery but a description like "a garden of malevolent sentient flower beasts"... that I totally get.TMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287499048486219026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827710570238033434.post-86076351978036600452009-03-20T21:30:00.000-04:002009-03-20T21:30:00.000-04:00As the late Paul Harvey used to say, here's the re...As the late Paul Harvey used to say, here's the rest of the story: We had a 2ml sample of the scent. Dick would put a TINY amount on his hand (not his wrist) and ecstatically bring it to his nose on and off all day. It smelled heavenly on him. <BR/><BR/>I bought him a bottle for Christmas, as you wrote. He was surprised and delighted. He opened it up, pulled out the bottle and gave himself a large spritz. It all happened so fast, I didn't have time to say "go easy on that!" Within an hour, the smell had taken over the room and I had a headache. I asked him to go scrub and he did, happily. <BR/><BR/>I never wanted to smell Jarden sur de Nil again. But of course, Dick did. He discovered that it is sickeningly strong unless the tiniest amount is administered. In tiny quantities, it's still lovely. <BR/><BR/>I was about to write that I'm sorry I hadn't told you this bit, but if I had, perhaps you wouldn't have gone on this scented adventure!Julie H.
