I certainly can't afford to feel casual about the price of Indult.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-82127053590748892372010-01-06T19:26:18.555+00:002010-01-06T19:26:18.555+00:00I have not tried Tihota, though I do like Isvaraya...I have not tried Tihota, though I do like Isvaraya, notwithstanding my slight squeamishness around a plum note. I know what you mean about crossing price boundaries repeatedly. Having shelled out for Ajne Calypso (the 15ml size!), I feel that pretty much every scent on the planet is a relative bargain, including most of the rest of that line! : - )Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-68761836051047724512010-01-06T18:16:35.085+00:002010-01-06T18:16:35.085+00:00I'll give it a try, and try to get him to snif...I'll give it a try, and try to get him to sniff it. I think that he was OK with Indult Tihota, but that's still at a price boundary that I fear to cross.

If Himself likes it, then it doesn't matter as much if I do. That is, if he likes a perfume that I don't dislike, I'll buy it!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-73348125291965505112010-01-05T20:40:30.414+00:002010-01-05T20:40:30.414+00:00Ah yes, Hebe, for in my experience soap is only da...Ah yes, Hebe, for in my experience soap is only dangerous when you slip on it or get it in your eye. : - )Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-72757346727690780222010-01-05T20:35:16.756+00:002010-01-05T20:35:16.756+00:00Sorry about Ivoire, CF, and believe me I did try.....Sorry about Ivoire, CF, and believe me I did try...<br /><br />How are you and Himself with JM Vanilla & Anise, which nicely sidesteps the plasticky / foody angle by featuring the vanilla orchid rather than the pod?Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-38043497690133435972010-01-05T19:13:39.574+00:002010-01-05T19:13:39.574+00:00Excellent news!

Himself doesn't like perfume much either, and I've been considering your soap scheme - if not as something he'd like to wear, which will never happen, instead as something he might like on me.

Maybe continue in Lovely for a bit before heading into niche territory. Give him a chance to ease into this slowly. If he's only just started enjoying plain rice, don't go pouring curry all over it! Let him try Prada's l'Eau Ambree, maybe, or Montale's White Musk, or lovethescentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382961211263766637noreply@blogger.com
