It is Valentine's Day soon, so I have high hopes of Mr Beautyblog...but I wouldn't want you to go out of your mind with Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-12160393376831539332010-01-14T16:38:54.457+00:002010-01-14T16:38:54.457+00:00It takes always several months until I decide to b...It takes always several months until I decide to buy a FB. Last year it was Guerlain Eau de 68, which I could test at my bf's house (she bought it herself straight away, and is since then on her way to a perfumista).<br />Then... came nothing.<br />Then came Amaranthine, which I sprayed on just because of curiosity. Sniffing half a day on my wrist, I decided to "need" it. <br />I Andreeahttp://mybeautyblog.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-73509747620423924882010-01-12T19:49:59.695+00:002010-01-12T19:49:59.695+00:00Hi LCN - you might know some of BD's work for ...Hi LCN - you might know some of BD's work for Eau d'Italie - he is also now the resident nose for L'Artisan as well as taking on extra projects for Penhaligon's. L'Artisan's Havana Vanille is his, also Timbuktu from a while back. I think Nstperfume has an index of perfumers and all their works.<br /><br />And you are right, it was a pretty swoonworthy experience for the Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-32164322317675177132010-01-12T16:33:56.234+00:002010-01-12T16:33:56.234+00:00I don't know his work yet, unless he's cre...I don't know his work yet, unless he's created something I've smelled and didn't connect it to him.<br /><br />But I can TOTALLY imagine the *thrill* of having the man who created a scent smell it on you. That's a sensual exchange of high order! If my secret boyfriend Michel Roudnitska took a whiff of me wearing "Bois du Paradis," I think I would swoon!The Left Coast Nosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102549295051352579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-14995919450628613682010-01-11T23:52:16.811+00:002010-01-11T23:52:16.811+00:00I am doing my level best to push Amaranthine on bo...I am doing my level best to push Amaranthine on both sides of the pond, so am glad it was a hit with you in the end!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-38607277774090851292010-01-11T21:00:13.324+00:002010-01-11T21:00:13.324+00:00Truly wonderful time, you had....as you know, I...Truly wonderful time, you had....as you know, I've done a 180 with Amaranthine. I started off thinking, "what's so great about this?". Thankfully, I gave it some time and revisited her later. I love it now and get so many compliments when I wear it.

I think it may be cumin or whatever that spicy note is. I wore it on New Year's Day and it seemed to work in Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-25535453109225464762010-01-11T16:43:42.649+00:002010-01-11T16:43:42.649+00:00Amaranthine is really lovely.

I think it would wear better on me in slightly-warmer, more humid weather, so I've put the decant away until, oh, March.<br /><br />And how interesting to read of your encounter with M. Duchaufour in more detail!

I'm a bit of a fan of Fleur de Liane, but have not bought the bottle yet. But your description of Amaranthine (and what was said of it) makes me want to sniff that first, just in case....<br /><br />Again, wonderful.
