You could try a decant, if you were in the UK I would send you one, not allowed to send fragrance abroad though. I bought mine secondhand, but I was very lucky to find a good deal listed in the wrong category and poorly described. That's always how to find a bargain. Is it wrong that it slightly puts me off if Jacko wore it! Some of documentaries I've seen about him have really shocked me!

At least you are honest Claire! I think that’s all we can expect and ask of ourselves ♥️ and I don’t think you’re wrong about Nina Ricci actually - I was surprised when you mentioned it being unisex but then when I went to smell it again I could totally see this being quite unisex, you are right - because of those more ozonic aquatic notes and the fact that it’s not SO obviously feminine. And like you say, our idea of masculine or feminine, while definitely informed by our social conditioning, is still relatively up to personal interpretation. I know my idea of unisex is probably wrong to some. I like “feminine” scents on men so it means a lot of what I consider to be unisex is not considered unisex by others.

I really like Tom ford orchid soleil.

Exactly! I feel like I have so many to try out still. I could probably film 2 more videos like this one! I think a break is what's needed. Going well so far, three weeks in now. Yep Tom Ford's seem risky I agree. This was secondhand, half used and priced at less than a decant so I was fine with risking £8.50 to try it out, I had a limited time voucher on eBay so that made it that inexpensive, that wasn't the actual price... I would not have dropped the new bottle price on it for sure without excessive testing and deep, deep love! Yes I would recommend the NR for sure!
