I missed out on Coco during the 80s, too, and only really discovered it a couple years ago. Glad to see it's got it's fans still. <b>Andy</b>, yeah, it is a rather pssst era. I think that's going to change again (it's all so cyclical, really) so hopefully whatever is next fashion-wise will be a little more fun. Though admittedly, I am personally hoping the big poodle hair doesn't come back ;-P <b>Greatsheelephant</b>, I can see the resemblence, yeah!

This was a helpful post - I'm trying to decide between Coco edp and edit. Sounds like the edt for me. Ines de la Fressange - that’s who Erin O’connor reminds me of.

I adore it's neo-baroque opulence - we don't get nearly enough of that these days! Giorgio on the other hand smells like dried blood. Yuck.....

A while back, I won one of your contests and received a lovely sample package - many thanks again! One of the samples was Givenchy's Organza Indecence, which I was very sad to find had been discontinued. I have used it many times and received so many compliments. However - I recently found it at Ulta! Bought a bottle today, and it smells the same to me. Just wanted to let you know, since I remember you writing that you liked it a great deal. Hello!

I've caught the stray whiff now and then on people on the street, though, but that's about the extent of it. Eh, I might try it out on my own skin sometime - schadenfreude and all, you know :P Chaya, I’ve not worn Giorgio in soooo long - my memories of it sound just like yours.

I saw a decent deal for the parfum on one of the discount sites a while back, wish I could remember which one, though :( <b>Tbone</b>, oh good lord, the Ogilvie home perms! ACH! I somehow managed to escape those, primarily I think because my mother insisted on my having feathered hair (seriously, it was winged and scary) though she'd often have her own permed and it was... well, even a poodle would have pitied my mom's coif. Her hair is naturally wiry, which resulted in a, um, pubic looking mass. I hope you at least escaped that fate. My favorite thing about Ines were her eyebrows - the most artfully sculpted furry caterpillars ever. Giorgio... god, I haven't revisted that one on my own skin in years - maybe since the actual 80s come to think of it. If nothing else, I should try it out again just for shits and giggles. <b>violetnoir</b>, wow, that sounds like of those "it's so crazy it just might work" plans from the A-Team. Does Coco Mlle. wear patchouli-heavy on you? I can see that for cooler weather, but in warmer weather I'd never carry that combo off successfully. You must have that sort of chemistry that can take on challenges. I have to try that now just to find out for myself - thanks! <b>flor</b>, the 80s were fun. Not to say there aren't silly things going on in fashion now, but the rather ballsy unconcern over tackiness was so enjoyable compared to the calculated cool and anal self-awareness we're all supposed to have now in the noughties. I miss that. Coco is awfully big, yeah... and sometims it's hard not to miss that. <b>Robin</b>, you know I really disliked Mlle. at first, but I've grown to appreciate what others see in it. But, no, it's not really a personal like for me. It's such a different creature than Coco, and I think it's a mistake for folks to pick it with the idea that it's going to be an "updated" or lighter version, when in fact it's got a whole 'nother thing going on. <b>Sybil</b>, hehe, if you say "fumy" is a word, then it is one. I don't trust people who don't make up their own words from time to time, anyhow :) My memories of Giorgio are rather distant, and I almost never catch a whiff of it from people passing by me on the street anymore. Poison is in a class by itself, though. That's a good idea for my next post, though - thank you. Patty, ooooh, nice sister you are! I bet she appreciated that like crazy.

I actually used to wear it (don't recall which strength, though...). I found/find it less common and less fumy (is that a word?) than Poison and Giorgio. I tried Coco Mademoiselle and was naively shocked that it smelled nothing-NOTHING-like Coco. Whoohoo, a blast from the past. I actually used to wear it (don’t recall which strength, though…).
