This is getting interesting. I've been leaning toward the softer (Claire de Musc, La Myrrhe) the animalic (MKK of course) and a bit toward the roughed up (Sarrasins) for the summer months. Can't wait to try this one.melisand61https://www.blogger.com/profile/12802652658028346558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-30744092205920923052009-07-21T01:02:43.973+02:002009-07-21T01:02:43.973+02:00Oh, shit!

The salon where I have my hair cut uses a conditioner that is scented with balsam and pine and my eyeballs roll back into my head when they wash my hair. I'm not even that crazy about the place or the cut -- I just go there for the conditioner.<br /><br />I guess this means I'm gonna have to move to France.popcartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116937135795837601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-75489644285845930222009-07-20T15:34:35.370+02:002009-07-20T15:34:35.370+02:00Victoria, the cover of the French edition is adapt...Victoria, the cover of the French edition is adapted from John Willie's magazine covers in the 50s.
