Salome is very furry, now I think of it, but not in a WAV way. There are indeed other ways of skinning the furry cat. Hope the Atelier d'Or comes up trumps for you. Or rumps even! ;)Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-49942831072897025612017-03-08T09:14:44.756+00:002017-03-08T09:14:44.756+00:00How funny, although I love the furry category, the...How funny, although I love the furry category, the ones you mention I quite like but don't really love :-) the PG are simple too messy, gourmand, linear for me, they become more of a smell than a perfume. <br />Furry, is such a tricky thing to pull off, and I think the closest I ever came was Cologne pour le Soir , ( free from the cumin of AplS).

There is a lot of incense in IM, but it is much more warm and cosy - and more like Diptyque Volutes with its addition of a tobacco note. Though different too!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-88372198932333970522017-03-06T11:06:46.677+00:002017-03-06T11:06:46.677+00:00Hi Yuki,
