Ohhhhh man so excited about the Stronger with you Sandalwood. I couldn’t wait. I did a test spray on the back of my hand and I did a test spray of stronger with you intensely on the wrist on the other hand and the sandal would just makes this one so much better. It cuts the sweetness a lot from intensely and just the sandalwood’ creaminess, it is so good! Probably will do a full wear tomorrow and do a timeline check on it!

I'm already feeling apprehensive that my beloved The One EDP, one of the first full bottles I ever got, is going to be discontinued in favor of the sketchy new EDP formulation... so I thought I'd throw some on today to revel in it while I have it! Luckily I bought the 150ml so I can indulge in shhhhpraying it on thick. It's just got this magical opening of light citrus, orange blossom (bless them for whatever they use - I don't get any screech, which I get from most neroli/orange blossom notes), ginger and very light spiciness. There's something powdery sparkly to it - I get the same effect from LNDH EDT - that I absolutely love. The mids are lovely with amber and very light tobacco coming out to give some backbone to the ginger & cardamom. And... we all know the performance on this leaves something to be desired -- it's almost like the mids are the dry-down, and the scent will be gone in a few hours. Which is fine - I'll just throw something else on in the afternoon! I'd like to get my nose on the new EDP & Parfum -- I think that will help me decide if I need to pick up a backup bottle of this formulation of the EDP, or if I should just evolve with the brand and when the time comes, say goodbye to my EDP for good. Anyone else thinking of gettin backup bottles of the OG EDP while they are still widely available?
