It's not one of my absolute all-time "stockpile a bank vault of this" favourites. But it was just discontinued, and I would so have snagged a bottle if I'd known.
It's much less obvious and in-your-face than the descriptions usually make it sound -- it's a beautiful carnation scent, but with this prickle of pepper on top and the clove coming through. It makes me think of a very tailored 1940s suit.
The Perfumed Court still has samples and mini-sprays, so I may have to grab some of those while I still can:

Okay, in that case, the $200 will be split between hunting bottles of Yohji Homme and Feu de Issey.
