From what I've experienced raw mats have very different effects depending on context, so except for the "spiky woods" that literally hurt my nose, I've learned to rule none out...

I nearly ended up ordering a bottle from Beauty Habit, but shipping to Europe was just too outrageously expensive.<br />I actually find that wonky website quite endearing. It's refreshingly unpretentious. As I mentioned before, I love her fragrances, Sacrebleu and New York especially. I will order a bottle of this one and the Kiss me Tender before they are discontinued.<br /><br />BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-61703188761625213992011-03-23T12:23:14.794+01:002011-03-23T12:23:14.794+01:00Mmmm...I love helional.

It always reminds me of a huge, cold, silver Supermoon (like the one last week), though it's not terribly apparent straight up, has to mingle with other things. Calone, on the other hand, brings back too many memories of late adolescence!<br />-MarlaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-26449546794124123342011-03-23T05:34:24.921+01:002011-03-23T05:34:24.921+01:00Normand, Patricia doesn't sell it as a chypre,...Normand, Patricia doesn't sell it as a chypre, but to me it's got that vibe. As for the aquatic notes, frankly, I don't find them annoying, they're present in a lot of products I love (Roudnitska used helional quite a bit it seems). Anyway, what with the small sizes, it's always worth giving it a try.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-23749991591669716092011-03-23T02:26:50.589+01:002011-03-23T02:26:50.589+01:00Denyse!

This is typically the kind of thing I buy... lily of the valley, chypre, jasmine... it's got all my keywords except for maybe Calone. And luckily, I have a friend going to New York in a month or so. I know what I'm going to ask her to bring back for me. I have PdN's New York... and I just love it!<br /><br />Thanks for this review. We had a snowstorm yesterday in Montreal...

But hey, the less they spend on packaging and advertising, the more they can spend on the actual juice...and keep the prices down!!! So, I ain't complainin'.<br /><br />I've wanted to try Weekend a Deauville since I read another review on it last year. Nowhere to be found! But now Luckyscent carries it here in the U.S.! Yay! thanks for reviewing this, D. Now I want to try it all the more.

I'm also appreciative of their pricing and size policy -- I love being able to buy 30 ml bottles.

I do complain about the state of her website, but I appreciate that her prices are very reasonable. (Unlike Tauer perfumes, for example - I just complained about their significant price increases elsewhere.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11935843260754621539noreply@blogger.com
