They create successfully simple fragrances, they just don't always do what the titles suggest. In this case, there is no Russian leather, only a lot of moss and tar followed by charred woodsmoke.

We've had a brief fling of warmer weather for the past few days, but we're headed back into chillier temps next week, so yeah, I find I can now break out the richer scents without thinking them oppressive or too much. But I still have to keep the crowded elevator in mind when I make my ritual grab for the fragrance bottle in the morning. Little bit here, little bit there, and a small self-decanted spray vial goes into my computer bag to carry along with me, just in case. :) I don't mind if other people can smell the fragrance I'm wearing when they're in close proximity, but I agree with you that it's not really polite to take a bath in the stuff when your plan for the day/evening happens to include sitting with groups of defenseless strangers in poorly ventilated rooms.

Here in NYC, I find myself clinging desperately to summer citrus. How do you find the climate to affect your tastes in the great nation of Texas? Actually it just occurred to me that my fear of going richer may be due to the poor ventilation at my school. One unfortunate evening, I just couldn't focus on the molecular biology professor because of a cloud of BLV Notte coming from a cocky young rake. Still, I will have to try Indult Isvaraya.
