    Do you mean the way …
    Do you mean the way my perception of the perfume changed? Well, I just picked up on different aspects of the fragrance every time I revisited it. And when you smell more than one perfume at a time, it can sometime emphasize things by comparison, or it can completely overwhelm your nose.

    This sister is soapy, that’s for sure!

  9. Tikka40 says:

    I was really …
    I was really curious about this perfume after listening to your description, so I went and tried it out. I don’t know if it’s because I was influenced by your description, but all I could smell was Dove bar soap! In fact *sniffs* yes… yes it still smells to me like Dove bar soap.

  10. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    Oh – I just thought …
    Oh – I just thought of another great incense perfume, and I’m wearing it now:
    Donna Karan Black Cashmere (incense, cloves, woods, saffron, vanilla)

    Organza Indecence was re-issued in 2007 (reformulated slightly sweeter than the original, apparently), so you should be able to track it down. Perhaps online?

    @KatiePuckrikSmells …
    @KatiePuckrikSmells Yeah, there is a link…and thats definately where my flashback came from. WL is awful though… but it was a fun trip down memory lane!!

  12. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    That’s totallyfab, totallyfab! Glad you’re here to join the fun.

    I Subscribed. I love purfume to!:)

  14. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    And these:

    Prada …
    And these:

    Prada L’Eau Ambrée (a paler version of Shalimar/Fleur Oriental)
    Lolita Lempicka L (sweet/spicy woody vanilla/orange; not so big on the incense, though)

  15. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    Try these:
    Laura …

    Try these:
    Laura Mercier Minuit Enchanté (rich, sweet, woody, spicy; limited edtion at Nordstrom; great value for pure parfum)
    Miller Harris Fleur Oriental (incense & flowers; one of my faves)
    Kenzo Amour (vanilla & incense)
    Guerlain Habit Rouge (orange/vanilla/woody; for men, but smells gorgeous on women, including me!)
    Guerlain Shalimar (classic smoky vanilla oriental)

  16. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    Oooh, frankincense …
    Oooh, frankincense is just about my very favorite smell in a perfume, and it’s so hard to find in mainstream fragrances (it’s everywhere in the indie lines).

  17. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    Some more to try:


    Some more to try:

    Tom Ford for Men Extreme (rich, sensual, fruity leather)
    Annick Goutal Les Nuits dHadrien (woody lemon & amber)
    Hermès Terre d’Hermès parfum or edt (earthy citrus)

  18. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    Heh! I don’t think …
    Heh! I don’t think a fragrance can do all of your legwork for you – you have to show up with a little of your own spark and verve. And it’s important to wear something YOU actually like, cuz if you feel good about yourself, others will pick up on that and feel good about you, too!

    Here are a few suggestions in different genres:
    Tom Ford Grey Vetiver (fresh, crisp vetiver)
    Bulgari Black (warm, learthery vanilla)
    Christian Dior Homme (classy, woody iris)
    Prada Amber Pour Homme (soft, clean)

  19. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    I’m so glad you hit …
    I’m so glad you hit on the White Linen comparison. I just compared WL and Essence at the store yesterday, and there certainly is a link. Though as you say, Essence is a fresh breeze next to WL. But they both supply that “turning ’scrubbed clean’ into an art” feeling.

    Hi Candice!
    Hi Candice!

    hi katie.
    hi katie.

  22. mettabee says:

    Hi Katie, can you …
    Hi Katie, can you recommend an incency perfume without the powdery note? I loved Organza Indecence but I think it’s discontinued because I’ve only seen Organza in stores.

  23. gabrielbeals says:

    Hi Katie,
    I’m a guy …

    Hi Katie,
    I’m a guy and I would like to know what fragrance screams: I’m single and ready to mingle A.S.A.P. :)

    Love your reviews.

  24. KatiePuckrikSmells says:

    Thanks for the doffing of the cap, BirdsMom!
