Question:
I was really dissapointed in the MI by Creed. I was expecting something amazing and beautiful but I just found it fruity with a hint of sea. It's not fair that I didn't give it a full chance so I'll eventually come back around to this.

Answer:
After reading all the reviews & recommendations for Roise Poivree, I bought it blind and it was exactly what I wanted. I thought from that experience I could expect the same from Rose 31 from all the similar, great review. Thank god I only bought a sample...its makes me feel physically sick. :-|

I find that I gain something from developing the ability to appreciate even when the thing in question is outside the realm of my own taste.
Well said.
Aramis 900, for example, is a great and well constructed fragrance--that I can't stand. Much too herbal and medicinal for me.

Its a weak citrus to me, and one of Creed's weakest and most bland offerings.
