Or failing that, to a future talk we will both be at? It has a tiny stopper, so unfortunately it would not be an easy task to decant a sample that I could send you, which would be my normal suggestion in such circumstances!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-85577429659682537212012-03-19T17:41:39.797+00:002012-03-19T17:41:39.797+00:00Hi Vanessa,

I actually really like powder in a perfume and the 'spikiness' of the opening seems like something interesting! Too bad it's discontinued.<br /><br />Lovely read, in any case!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050434256657538240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-43260894301173750392012-03-19T14:14:10.611+00:002012-03-19T14:14:10.611+00:00Hi Suzanne,

If not a 180 exactly, a 90 degrees for sure. My Petales review is imminent, but still "brewing" if you know what I mean! We "read" this one in just the same way, I sense. : - )<br /><br />Or - thinking back to that 50s video Birgit posted Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-58579487670979805432012-03-19T13:19:15.026+00:002012-03-19T13:19:15.026+00:00White florals, yay!!

I haven't yet tried Honour Woman or MdO Tubereuse (funny, a while ago I ordered the newest MdO scents but skipped that one, which was kinda stupid since I love tuberose).

So you say Ormolu you could take or leave, but now I'm very curious (and I'm sort of suggesting a post idea for you): I get the impression from reading your comments elsewhere on the blogosphere lately that your tastes in perfume have been changing, and I was wondering what you've been loving lately that might be on the more daring side for you. I loved your Dior lippie Suzannehttp://www.eiderdownpress.com/Perfume_Journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
