There are so many things to hate about Magi...@Emily<br />There are so many things to hate about Magie Noire, though it is probably the civet/narcissus combo with Bulgarian rose. I'm with you on that one.<br />I wonder if my bottle of Moon Drops has turned? It was in a concentrated formula, so maybe I've been unfair to it? It smells so different on skin vs. clothes (neither what I'd call good but rather degrees of less bad). I'm wary of giving it another try. Now you have me wondering who bought it from you but I understand the sacred bond of online shopping is like a priest in the confessional ;)<br /><br />@Ann<br />Perfume is so personal, which is why a bad review shouldn't keep you from seeking out something to smell. I've enjoyed some fragrances that other reviewers have absolutely savaged. <br /><br />@Beth<br />You had to be careful with the Aqua Net though, it tends to yellow over time on paper. <br /><br />@Mim<br />Knock Out Drops would definitely suit the bottle I have!<br /><br />@Vix<br />Thank you. There was a skin cream and a line of lipsticks that I think are still around. Such a good name, such a bad perfume;)<br /><br />@Beate<br />Thank you. It might just be my nose-some people really love Moon Drops.

"Maybe if you were looking to date an undertaker, Moon Drops could be sexy..." Etching the difference in woodsy smells with the comparison of a cheap pine casket and a luxury rosewood model is exactly the final skewer Ms. Parker would stick in the olive of a third martini. <br />Aqua Net? Of course I remember Aqua Net, the impoverished artist's go-to fixative for charcoal and gouache sketches, a whiff forever mixed in my memory with the stench of oils and soggy paint rags. Now there's a stink to remember!Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-60254764340268187122020-08-22T03:43:15.665-07:002020-08-22T03:43:15.665-07:00Your perfume reviews are a delight, even if I do n...Your perfume reviews are a delight, even if I do not know the first thing about perfume. They often have me in stitches, which happened here just by reading your opening sentence :-)) What's more, they are making me want to have a sniff, even the ones which are "not so good"! xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-23216926231112666872020-08-21T14:36:36.206-07:002020-08-21T14:36:36.206-07:00I loved your review!
I think the solid version do...I loved your review!<br /><br />I think the solid version does smell more mellow than the alcohol-based version and that the fruity notes come through a little more clearly too. In general, I find that old solid perfume compacts may age differently from alcohol-based fragrances and that one isn't always a reliable indicator of how the other will smell. I wonder what would Barbara Hermann think of Moon Drops if she could smell it in other forms.<br /><br />On me, Moon Drops isn't bad. It's strong for sure, but it smells nice, and since I have no intense feelings, good or bad, about aldehydic powerhouse fragrances from the '70s, this one ranks neutral to positive in my book. There is really only one vintage fragrance I passionately despise, and it's Magie Noire. It gives me a feeling of physical loathing like nothing else I've ever experienced in my life. I hate it so much, I get angry whenever I smell it. I wish I knew why.<br /><br />Getting back to the topic of Moon Drops, I've sold quite a bit of it online. One buyer was a popular television star from the 1980s who told me it was her favorite fragrance. Now, when I think of her, I always wonder if she wore Moon Drops on the set of her show. I almost wanted to ask her that, but I don't know if celebrities enjoy being recognized by name when they're buying online, or if they'd prefer to be treated just like everybody else and not get nosy random questions from star-struck fans like me. So I played it cool and I didn't ask. I didn't even tell her that I recognized her name or that I used to watch her on TV every week. : ) Emilynoreply@blogger.com
