I have no idea why it didn't post on the day I set it to post, but I think I had to click one more button for it to do so. I was surprised when I went to see it that it wasn't there! Oddly, Sycomore did nothing for me in the few minutes I devoted to trying them all on paper. I wish I had had more time to re-try or spritz on skin. I bought the Chypre and... I hear you!

I have the same problem with No.18 as you: something bothers me although it's the most innovative of the Chanel Exclusifs so far (but give me Sycomore any day!) Pity about the attitude though! Cologne du 68 is indeed quite nice; L'ame, nice enough; I thought the Chypre and Oriental were all right (at least competent, if not particularly original) while the Gourmand was a bit too "girly" for me (but then I found Iris Ganache rather calorific as well...am I hopeless?). Did you buy anything of those, perhaps the Chypre? ;-) Ah, so good to see the post uploaded. :-)
