    I love this bottle and wanted to love the fragrance. I don’t dislike it, but the patch keeps it from feeling how I think of a “fresh and clean” fragrance. So I guess I just need to revise my assumption to a different type of fragrance. It does feel very classic.

      I prefer Eau de Guerlain — less patch, more oakmoss. (Or, that’s how it used to be.)

        It’s dirt cheap on fragrance net right now.

      ? Thank you Jalapeno, I’m a fan, not even minding the current 2015 bottle I have along with my vintage; difference is that vintage is more mineral, flintier in the drydown, so more interesting.

    Where can this be bought? I used to buy it off amazon and can’t find it there anymore. It’s not in stock online on many discount fragrance sites. I don’t really trust eBay after buying a spoiled/old bottle. I love it. It reminds me of a running river.

    Oh I love this one. One of the first bottles I bought after falling down the rabbit hole in 2005, I swapped it years ago then got a mini which was such a disappointment, it had no excitement left. Love that original bottle.
