It is always great to hear many opinions to one perfume, and I always review what I like, whether I'm the first or the 250th.<br /><br />Your review makes me want to properly try Juniper Sling at last, something else always came first.

On Katie Puckrik Smells I tried on three successive days to leave a comment about Prada Candy and eventually emailed her the text which she uploaded.

It is light, but has more about it than Frapin L'Humaniste, say, which is the other gin-style scent I tried recently.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-78368581483252565082011-10-07T21:10:11.395+01:002011-10-07T21:10:11.395+01:00Hi Angie,

Dry cider on the other hand is very nice, and used to be a standby before the days of decent wine in pubs. (Or the pubs anywhere I lived!)<br /><br />I think Elixir is a very zen-like scent and I have also reviewed it on Bonkers, after my friend bought a full bottle and was raving about it. I love the colour Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-91940982604253007452011-10-07T21:02:41.837+01:002011-10-07T21:02:41.837+01:00I'm looking forward to trying this.
