Kenzo, parfum d'ete 1992 (edt) from a little leaf. I received this in a lot of minis. I had to look this one up because I had no idea what it was. Thankfully it has a distinctive bottle.

After applying, it screeched at me like a fire alarm after burnt toast. I was worried that I'd have to scrub, but thankfully it calmed down. On my skin, this smells like a watery white floral balanced older school musk. I don't detect LOTV individually. I was actually surprised by ratio of muskiness to watery white flower (I guess I expected a perfectly clean green with the bottle being a leaf). I like that the musk provides some balance to the top. This is not a love for me, but it is a like specifically due to the musk. I'll try this again and see what I think.

SOTE: Another mini I got in the lot, Hallbrook 14. I had no idea that this was a knockoff of Passion (I'm not familiar with the original). I'm not familiar, frankly, with any of the Elizabeth Taylor perfumes by name. However, I'm sure growing up in the at era I'm sure they'd smell familiar.

Thank heaven for Grace:

This is a fairly nondescript floral with a bit of powder and meh wood/musk at the bottom. I don't think I'll wear again.

L'Homme, Roger & Gallet. 1982. Nicole Mahieu.

Layering after-shave with eau de toilette.

Luca Turin claims that Azzaro pour Homme is the epitome of the fougères. Well, it may be, but L'Homme is a milestone of this category, IMO.
