Walter,

I\'ve got the 125ml bottle and I think Ill let it get down to half or so before I chance messing with it. It was a gift and there\'d be some explaining to do if I screwed up the bottle! The glass method suits my needs for now.

a.k.a.,

It\'s funny how some fragrances change after application. Like APC, it smells totally different 15 minutes after application than it does right out of the bottle.

I had sampled Jasmine several times, with different brands, and couldn\'t see what all the fuss was about. Presumably that\'s because what I was doing was putting a drop on my hand, or arm, sniffing it, and drawing my conclusions from that initial sniff, then moving on to another one.

I now see that it\'s a GREAT fragrance! I put some on the back of my hand and waited about 15 minutes. The stuff changes so radically that it smells almost nothing like it does at first.

Avoid this pitfall. If you\'re shopping fragrances put ONE on each hand tops! Don\'t try to sample a whole rack in one visit. You may find something you LOVE that you thought smelled like shit at first!
