And that market is hungry for "the best." It's very savvy of them, is it a French or American company that asked her to work on this project? I'm sure it was a fascinating challenge for her.Qwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283489032029545283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-5582992529435920852009-02-04T23:16:00.000+01:002009-02-04T23:16:00.000+01:00Wendy, I'm also convinced that there's good money ...Wendy, I'm also convinced that there's good money to be made in organic... The thing is, it's also good money spent on good fragrances, in this case (no reflection on other organic fragrances: I just haven't tested them).carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-68392368480812631602009-02-04T23:15:00.000+01:002009-02-04T23:15:00.000+01:00Amy, not particularly, but I bet you'd like Bonté'...Amy, not particularly, but I bet you'd like Bonté's Bloom (yup, that's the one I'm pushing).carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-4183130036510280002009-02-04T23:11:00.000+01:002009-02-04T23:11:00.000+01:00D, love the pic!

If these last 15 minutes on YOU, they'd be good for maybe 5 on moi! <BR/><BR/>Don't neglect the mercenary motives of these dear perfume lovers and makers -- Organic is very big here, sometimes it is downright essential in the face of our enormous industrialized food production, not as much with perfume of course. <BR/><BR/>But considering that there are three, count 'em, THREE Vegan restos in my neighborhood alone (very boho chic) the potential rewards for producing scent by a great perfumer for this visible and well-heeled (so to speak) minority could be great!Qwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283489032029545283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-90522808599560398792009-01-31T16:18:00.000+01:002009-01-31T16:18:00.000+01:00Does it make me a bad person if none of these soun...Does it make me a bad person if none of these sound particularly interesting to me?StyleSpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032983147859861793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-23871886851537488112009-01-28T08:33:00.000+01:002009-01-28T08:33:00.000+01:00Flora, isn't it a great picture?

I don't know the IUNXes that well either, there are only three currently available: they're very interesting but pretty fleeting.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I've just heard back from the brand, they're presenting in NY next week so the HdP could be available in the US some time soon. They're definitely worth trying, especially (for my taste) Bonté's Bloom, Chaman's Party and Sexy Angelic.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-27129732289949820942009-01-15T22:27:00.000+01:002009-01-15T22:27:00.000+01:00Oh, you tease!!!

Then I saw you had already graciously done my work for me...<BR/><BR/>I never tried any of the IUNXen other than L'Ether; I hear they were all really light. I guess I want a little more longevity for my money, but they do sound interesting and lovely, perhaps on a hot summer day.Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443611475172148130noreply@blogger.com
