I always thought it was because of the patchouli, but recently discovered I do like some patches (L'Artisan Patchouli Patch and Montale Patchouli Leaves). I guess what doesn't work for me are the fruity ones, and CM is on the top of the list of the fruity patches.

The EDP is vastly better than the EDT, almost a different scent- the pure parfum is just as good as the EDP but I'm not sure it's worth the extra. I think it needs to be worn sparingly and not with fake tan to work best. It's great layered with Laura Mercier Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-61751652067375067252011-03-16T22:58:55.554+00:002011-03-16T22:58:55.554+00:00Darryl - A trenchant analysis, to be sure.
