I really tried, I did. I did all the right things - layered the fragrance gently, applied it to all the "pulse-points",running through the mist of the fragrance and tracking its changing scent throughout the day. I just can't like it , I just can't. I even pretended for a short time , while going through a spell of bronchitis, that the fragrance "grew on me" and its "muted-by-my-stuffy-nose" bouquet please me. It hit home when my husband said I smelled "Ouma-rig" - directly translated that should mean I smelled grandma-ish. I know this is a classic frangrance and a grand scent that should epitomize sophistication and romance but perfume is highly personal . The choice of perfume as well as how the scent morphs once it comes into contact with your unique chemistry.
