The process of the alcohol evaporating and the true scent of the fragrance coming forward is called the "dry down" in fragrance lingo. Whenever I go perfume shopping I'll try two or three scents (after which your nose kind of wears out), continue my shopping and about an hour later return to chose my fragrance based on its dry down. BIG difference in the scent as it "wears". Thanks for the perfume 101.

Sometimes if you smell something at a low level all the time, after a while you just block it out. I wonder how much of perfume "fading" is due to your nose just sort of tiring of it and filtering it out of your awareness ... ? All the other senses do that a bit.

Angel purchased in London is divine--I HATE the one in the USA. I've been told it is the alcohol used, European versions use potato alcohol. Not sure which is used in the USA. I also found the London version of the original L'Interdit to be fabulous, the USA version horrible. Any comments from the brains or am I nuts?
