1001 Ouds

I forgot to mention another purchase. I got Annick Goutal 1001 Ouds. I haven't tried any of the other in the Les Absolus d'Annick Goutal -- Ambre Sauvage, Vanille Charnelle and Rose Oud --  they're kinda pricey. The presentation is very nice, I might add.

1001 Ouds reminds me of Encens Flamboyant, although a bit sweeter. Smokey like EF. I like it. Not particularly oudy, from my limited knowledge.

Myrrhe Ardente

Last night my bottle of Annick Goutal Myrrhe Ardente arrived.  I had previously owned a 15 ml mini, now I have a full 100 ml bottle.  So, now I have three out of four of Les Orientalistes:  Myrrhe Ardente, Musc Nomade, and Encens Flamboyant. The only one I am missing is Ambre Fétiche -- I used to have a 15 ml mini of that, too, but I gave it to Janet (along with a 15 ml mini of Musc Nomade).  I won't be getting a full bottle of that, thank you ma'am.  Amber and I do not see eye to eye.  I'll probably give my 15 ml mini of Myrrhe Ardente to Janet as well, since she is such an Annick Goutal fan -- she's been wearing L'Eau d'Hadrian since the 80s.
