Not really... it's a little lighter than Scent Intense, but it's the same scent. Sort of how the Helmut Lang EdC and EdP are the same scent, only slightly different elements focused. If you already have Scent Intense, I wouldn't actually bother getting the regular scent... because they're not really different. Scent Sheer is another you could try, if you wanted something with the same scent but lighter and good for spring days or even after going to the gym. The only one to avoid is Scent Gloss... that's the one that's candied and girlishly sweet. IMO, they probably did the Scent Gloss because none of the other versions of Scent were distinctly feminine enough. I'd get Black Orchid, btw... if you like Scent Intense I think you'll LOVE Black Orchid. John

I've got on an oldie, but still a goodie. It's Versace:The Dreamer.

Today I lingered in front of that drawer in my night stand - the one containing spare shaving goodies and scents - and this time I actually had a scent in mind: Helmut Lang Cuiron. I found it and applied liberally, and I think Mrs. T likes this one, since she withheld her usual complaints. Funny enough, there's a clean note in there that is meshing with my shaving cream this morning (almond) and I kind of like the effect.

Dreamer is a good one and very unconventional for a mainstream scent... I've never heard anybody neutral about it. They either love it or hate it. Personally, I always really liked it.

I also like the packaging (the rococo Medusa bottle is really great!) I haven't used the fragrance in a while, but I use the body shampoo a lot just to get a hint of the scent now and then.

For me, it's rainy and cool today, so L'artisan Voleur de Rose fits the bill nicely.

Someone has given me a bottle of Bulgari - Aqua should I use it or pass it on.

Good call. That and Tea for Two are my L'Artisan's of choice. Of course, there's always time for Mechant Loup, Passage de Enfer, and Timbuktu. If the circus is in town, I'll go with Dzing, so the Elephants will feel at home around me. Went with YSL Live Jazz today. I've been neglecting it lately so I figured it was worth a breakout.

I like all of those and use them regularly, except for Passage d'enfer. I've never been able to use it myself, but like it on others. I never did take the plunge on Dzing! after sampling it; I never liked it as well as two other dry, weird leathery scents that I already have (Knize Ten and Parfum d'empire Cuir d'Ottoman) and so never bought the whole bottle.

I'm wearing Prada Amber today; I really like it in cooler weather.

Another L'Artisan fan, Mechant Loup for me today. It is chilly but sunny today and this scent is very well suited for this kind of weather.

I am currently kicking myself for not pouncing on a bottle of Dzing! I saw for sale. So many fans...

I had to talk myself out of a second day of Cuiron, and went with Antaeus instead. Mrs. T. asked where I got the granny perfume from. Must get her nose checked.

It's probably popular and safe, even for work. Do you like it? If I like it, I wear it, no matter how much Mrs. T wrinkles her nose at me. Than again marriage has those perks...
