Oscar - breaking up is hard to do...

My favorite 1980's date scent revisited in 2013. Things have changed over the years.

Huge soapiness and green at the opening, which fades to a gentle floral. I don't get too many of the listed notes, mostly just floral sweetness. What was once luscious to me now just feels banal. Maybe I have a reformulation as Sherapop has suggested. It didn't trigger any memory nodes for me either, which is a clue as scent memory is usually quite accurate. Oh well, another one bites the dust. My tastes have changed.

Sorry, Oscar, we have to break up. It's not you, it's me.

Agreed Dalmajen, it is so very different. Why do they do that? Some things shouldn't change...
