I got samples of some of the Odette perfumes after you wrote them up the first time! The dry-down across the board did not work for me, but it was very fun checking out a few from one designer. Apart from that, I believe Pas de Chat was my fave--I have a note that's something to the effect of "Hope I don't like this one too much as it's already BDM's perfume." Saved by dry-down from being a copycat. Also Moulin Rose was this interesting & lovely kind of vintage pink experience, but not for me.
it's interesting how there can be a clear stylistic throughline that makes a whole house a flat "no"—I'm having that experience with Pearfat right now. there's something in almost all of them that smells… damp? overripe? fetid? to me, and the main exception smells exactly like a Coke which is maybe a little too on the nose for me lol.
also had that experience with Thin Wild Mercury, which has the same "damp" smell. one perfume actually almost made me throw up when I sniffed it on cloth. but I totally believe these work for somebody.
