Your description of its soft and pale character is lovely to entertain, even if I'm pretty certain it discounts it as a scent I would actually enjoy. :-) Great writing!Suzannehttp://www.eiderdownpress.com/Perfume_Journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-31659908173949899522013-01-21T13:00:53.298+00:002013-01-21T13:00:53.298+00:00Hi Undina,

At the most it is as full-bodied as The Different Company's Oriental Lounge, say, and I'd call it more full-bodied than Bvlgari Omnia. I don't know if either of those comparisons help?<br /><br />I completely agree with you on the tea front, though.
