How do people react to the Rive Gauche?

Instinct by J. Crew.

No, actually, nothing. I'm a little sensitive to fragrances, though a subtle perfume on the wimmenz is always nice.

JET -- Was your family murdered in a mall? Maybe they were dragged into the access hallway between Old Navy and Banana Republic?

Asked this in the other thread but I need a little more guidance.

What's a relatively cheap fragrance for a high schooler? It has to be quite readily available (most department stores should have em)

How do you find the longevity on that one? I think it's an EdC no? if I remember it died after like 20 minutes on my skin. Plus for the longest time I thought there was rose in it

. I just got a bottle of Guerlain Pamplelune for my grapefruit fix.

The longevity is not great, I think it may be an EdC but I can't be sure. I use it when it's really hot out and I want a cooling and refreshing scent that I don't have to worry about over spraying

There's definitely more grapefruit than rose, but I kinda like it that way.

I actually don't get much of a reaction pretty much ever. I wear something new almost every day and I've never had a comment or question

Well at least I enjoy it and that's the most important opinion out there!

I'm now on my second bottle of Molecule 01 and i don't think i'm ever going to change.
Keeping the spare change ready if nuclear war should break out and hoarding it becomes the only option.

What chain stores can I sample Creed at?

I recently got Tom Ford for Men and it is excellent. I really like the bottle too.

If you wear fragrances for anyone but yourself and/or your SO, you're going to be disappointed by the lack of reactions. I think it's something people mostly register on an unconscious level.
