I allocated Tolu the ball gown territory, but OJ Woman would be Woman enough for that role too! Outdoorsy riding costumes sound spot on because of the dark green, foresty vibe to Woman - complete with crop of course...<br /><br />: - )Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-2077930710847171592010-11-22T14:08:30.877+00:002010-11-22T14:08:30.877+00:00Precisely today MyPerfumeLife commented on my blog...Precisely today MyPerfumeLife commented on my blog about Ormonde Jayne Perfumes. Not having tested any, I must keep an eye for a future visit online, hopefully they can be sent to Spain. I have added a link, so it will help me keep an eye on it.

Ormonde Woman is I think one of the best scents of the last twenty five years, it's so stunning to my nose. I don't see quite as you do- edgy yes but I think you could wear it with a sweeping ball gown, or very sharp riding boots and trousers. Frankly it is the kind of scent that makes me believe I couldRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-46277639015587806022010-11-21T23:35:55.453+00:002010-11-21T23:35:55.453+00:00Hi Hebe,

In the case of Juliette Has A Gun, the most minor of scuffles should not be undertaken lightly.

Only rivalled by Annick Goutal (in my humble opinion). I'm beginning to realise that I like female perfumers, and was going to start doing some research around this. But haven't actually managed to knuckle down to it yet.<br /><br />Your day job sounds mightily interesting - just the kind of thing I love.
