I think I may have been confused by the fact that the blatant coarse 'smellalike' Dior Tendre Poison gives off twice as much pong!



Answer:
Angel is a sillage monster, it knocks down one of my colleagues (Angel is her boss' signiture scent too) and she forbids me to wear it at work.

Answer:
I avoid monster sillages! except for Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermes, the sillage lasts and lasts...but it 's really nice and not overwhelming.
Musc Ravageur starts as strong sillage but when discreetly applied it becomes a nice wearable skin scent, same feeling with many Lutens fragrances

Answer:
Opium in EdT is a killer if not applied judiciously. In the parfum it seems to stay much closer to the skin.

Answer:
Good ole shiny AZUREE. I wanted to take a weed whacker to it, but I'd have cut off my arm.

Answer:
Most of the Estee Lauder perfumes have great lasting power and sillage.
Cinnabar is especially powerful.
