I admit I love love love a spritz of acqua di melograno from Santa maria Novella* (which falls in the beautifully original expensive soap cathegory) and Beige form Chanel - definetly a decent "expensive shampoo" scent. These are clean scents, to my nose. If the LESL manages to be beautiful and original and clean, there is nothing wrong for me: as long as it is not acquatic or white musky!<br />* I actually think this is quite a masterpiece, in the clean cologne genre.zazienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-90458349086569675492009-11-27T12:42:51.992+01:002009-11-27T12:42:51.992+01:00Rose, yes, I'm still a fangirl at heart...
