I also missed off Absolut'ly when I was over. <br /><br />I just took a look at your video showing the interior of your store - it's a veritable Aladdin's Cave!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061118895694909457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-51127435194257299132013-10-15T12:13:41.639+01:002013-10-15T12:13:41.639+01:00Hi,

A little too late, I guess, for you to include it in your olfactory trip.

Oud is *so not* "new and cool and rare" anymore, it's untrue! Yes, as you can see, I don't mind coming out of the closet as a non-oud lover.

I giggled about the oud. I've wanted to like oud, but I must say that now that it's gone from being new and cool and rare, to being around every corner, I can feel more happily haughty about saying that I just don't like it.<br /><br />(I suddenly find myself imagining Jessica Simpson Strawberry Oud Fraiche.

It's a pretty fundamental body part all right - I did mine a mischief driving 7000 miles for work in 2010, so I can relate.<br /><br />We are as one on the oud front, I note! ;-)<br /><br />Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-32060582156019337182012-11-20T16:01:14.450+00:002012-11-20T16:01:14.450+00:00Hi Anonymous,

Flemish has some gems, doesn't it?

It's almost too bad there's not a comment section at the end of every paragraph so we can respond without turning our replies into essays. <br /><br />So, in an effort to not go on and on myself (which I'm VERY prone to do), let me just say: wegonlegging is the coolest word IDionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085678129130546156noreply@blogger.com
