Guerlain mitsouko

Has anyone any experience of wearing this as a male fragrance?
I've been wearing guerlain jicky most of the last week, and it's got to be one of my favourite frags. It's got me curious about mitsouko, I'm sure I've read on here a few people have used it, just looking for feedback, may look for a sample and maybe a bottle.

I've been known to wear it, classic chypre scent.

If you get samples try to get both EDT & EDP as the scent differs quite a bit... The former is fresh and citrusy (bergamot) and the latter is mossy and sweet... Think same church, different pew.

Which do you prefer, and why?

The EDT is easier for a man to pull off, I love smelling the EDP but wouldn't leave the house wearing it, I mean you could but you'd need to be a sort of eccentric, flamboyant kind of chap such as the late Lord Bath otherwise you might find the scent wearing you. There is a peach note in Mitsouko which in the EDT settles behind the chypre base but in the EDP it's right at the forefront and stays there for the duration, I think that's what tips the EDP slightly to the feminine side IMO.
