I had a blast when I took my niece on a guided sampling session a couple of months ago (she ended up with a bottle of Rose Ispahan, a good bag of samples to explore in more depth, and, I fear an incipient drain on her wallet as that girl has expensively good taste.) <br /><br />Interesting: I have no overlaps of likes with B's list, but 6/9 with J (and Icrikeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-86609728726033555752018-02-05T13:54:30.152+00:002018-02-05T13:54:30.152+00:00Hi T,

I think there might well be a market for such 'guided sampling' sessions if I lived somewhere else than here! And of course I couldn't possibly charge my friends. Sandra bought TWO By Kilian bottles? ;) That is getting on for super wealthy in my book.<br /><Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-39399647056278680902018-02-05T10:20:32.501+00:002018-02-05T10:20:32.501+00:00Hi V,

I'm sure if you offered this service to the super wealthy, you could get a little business going out of it. <br />Sandra bought 2 full By Kilian bottles when we were shopping in London so I can ask her about the sprayer if you'd like. <br /><br /><br />Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825957684276136205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-14748732281385301722018-02-04T20:10:11.976+00:002018-02-04T20:10:11.976+00:00Hi Sarah,

It does look extremely attractive - I like the black lacquered effect very much.

It would be rather a swiz if there were no spray mechanism with the main presentation package, so I am heartened to have this confirmed.

As a result of you sending me a sample of Liaisons Dangereuses (un-spellchecked) several years ago, I now own a travel set which includes a rather decadent spray black lacquered sexy thing and some refill bottles. The whole thing is refillable with a pipette if you had a refill bottle and thus, I think (?) cheaper than buying the Sarah Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225799091497587153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-75408280120589868832018-02-04T18:23:33.207+00:002018-02-04T18:23:33.207+00:00The only bottle of By Kilian that I have is a refi...The only bottle of By Kilian that I have is a refill bottle that comes with a simple glass atomizer to decant into (the size that goes into the travel case that you’ve discovered). But I was sure the real bottle was a spray one: I don’t think I’ve ever seen those bottles without a spray mechanism - and I’ve seen a lot of them.

And I absolutely loved your phrase 'the ability to pointlessly lock it', which is making me smile all over again as I type. There is much pleasure to be had in such small things.

In theory, I feel the box/bottle shouldn't matter but it is so lovely and the ability to pointlessly lock it, with the key working in a satisfying solid way, is charming. Hope everything goes well for you and Truffle in 2018, best regards, HelenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
