It's also a little heftier -- always thought of Cristalle as a young-woman scent, I mean the young women of 20 years ago... <br />The second demise of Sous le Vent is heartbreaking, and I was silly enough (or too broke) to secure a back-up bottle.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-38170334621556972702011-05-03T16:13:58.978+02:002011-05-03T16:13:58.978+02:00Ah, Eau sauvage.

During the giddy stage of perfume obsession when I was an avid collector of samples I acquired one of Sous le Vent and mentally marked it as one for further investigation. A perfect name for a beautiful scent. I am intrigued by Vierges et Toreos now. As for Weekend a Deauville, it is my latest bottle of liquid joy. I re read your review of it after purchase and realised that a goodly part of the reason I love it is for its resemblance to original Cristalle only softer.

I've been considering buying the oil for the diffuser and dabbing it -- which I tried in the store -- but it's not made for that, it doesn't hold or diffuse well on skin. And Ropion explained to me that even the scent itself was composed without the notes that would bind it to skin. <br />So I'm just resigning myself to the idea I can't carry it around with me.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-66784529674461935032011-04-30T05:42:30.784+02:002011-04-30T05:42:30.784+02:00You've made me want to revisit several fragran...You've made me want to revisit several fragrances--Eau de Gloire, Réminiscence, Weekend à Deauville and Vierges et Toreros.

Wish those top notes lasted a bit longer, but I guess that is the problem with spring, too. Totally agree on the flinty nature of the Turtle Vetiver, too. And for a full three minutes you had me thinking I'd somehow missed a new gardenia Malle--very disappointed it's just the candle (though a gorgeous one).Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651065872724626149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-73198407744440920972011-04-30T00:44:31.915+02:002011-04-30T00:44:31.915+02:00Marla, I have no idea about the planets' plans...Marla, I have no idea about the planets' plans, unfortunately, but I wish they'd calm down. They're really playing with my nerves, and I'm not the only one. Fortunately, there's the writing, and interesting new encounters, fragrant and fragrance-related, so amidst the shocks there's energy.

And I love the Nicolai, a gorgeous spring scent that takes away the pain of this "red spring". So when do things improve astrologically??<br />-MarlaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-91019554270883613972011-04-29T18:52:32.873+02:002011-04-29T18:52:32.873+02:00Dleep, if there's just the one to seek out, I ...Dleep, if there's just the one to seek out, I do recommend Eau Sauvage, even in its current reformulation.
