One-liners

By Dane

1. Missoni Acqua (Missoni) - Same as the original minus the chocolate (and the magic that came with it.) Still a step up from Be Delicious.

2. 24, Faubourg (Hermes) - I remember this smelling much richer. Today, it feel like a nondescript mishmash of synthetics. Too bad.

3. Pure Poison (Dior) - Impeccably tame floral (unlike the savage original).

4. Champs-Elysees (Guerlain) - 5 minutes of polite, fruity mimosa followed by hours of impolite, synthetic mimosa.

5. Green (Morgane Le Fay) - Cucumber. They charge how much for this? Get the Marc Jacobs rendition instead (or neither).

6. Blue (Morgane Le Fay) - Peppered citrus fruit, followed by a typical laundry-clean drydown. *yawn*

7. Safari (Ralph Lauren) - Lovely green chypre that could easily compete with the likes of No. 19.

8. Blanc (Paul & Joe) - Why does everyone compare this to L'Eau d'Hiver? I find it more of a re-tooled Bois Farine.
