And yes, in the niche market, £60 to £80 can buy you something very special. And some of the indie brands are very well priced. And smaller bottles are appearing more and more, partly thanks to Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-45650585708008795802014-01-23T20:40:24.722+00:002014-01-23T20:40:24.722+00:00From one "pusher" to another: don't ...From one "pusher" to another: don't feel bad. People who cannot spend any money on perfumes will not be buying any - it's not bread. But most of our friends can definitely afford even a $200-$300 bottle of perfume per year if they really love the scent (and most of our recommendations do not even go that high).Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-28125201011577043492014-01-21T09:53:07.314+00:002014-01-21T09:53:07.314+00:00Hi Tara,

I love that kind of transformation. I'm glad she's found perfume to be life-enhancing the way we do and now gets that benefit everyday. <br /><br />I really like her still life paintings.

In fairness, I have given away some stuff to most of the people I have pushed towards the rabbit hole, and am always on the lookout for samples of things they might like. Hopefully that may cushion the financial blow of increasing one's perfume repertoire a bit! How nice that you caused your friend to have a powerful Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-57807205599446949542014-01-19T19:45:48.206+00:002014-01-19T19:45:48.206+00:00Lovely post Vanessa.

It makes me feel like a 'pusher'!<br />Coincidently, last night I introduced my friend Jo to Calypso which was a very emotional Sarah Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225799091497587153noreply@blogger.com
