More than four hours out of the container, theres not much change in the arrangement of the notes. Rosiness remains dominant. The Coty Chypre persists without dropping down to its base. I note it is a close-in fragrance--little sillage.

Time will not be used as a factor in the observation since this is identified as a "note." I smell apple and melon "salad." Yum!

I just completed a first exposure to each of the containers in the Volume I set and found the experience very interesting. The Notebook provided with the set is very, very good. The way it's put together makes the information bite-sized and fun, yet it gets across key points that are appropriate to make. I'm looking forward to making up games, "blind tests," and trying some olfactory combinations using the smell strips in fan configurations, as suggested by Monsieur Morillas. Any ideas for "experiments" from others are most welcome. I am also going to go back to the Citrus Accord (No. 1) and play with comparison between it and 4711. I like 4711 as sort of a sorbet, on occasion, to steady the nose. I am going to do the same for the Floral Accord (No. 4) relative to Jean Patou's Joy. I find these postings handy as a means to register my notes for myself as well as to share with others.
