I will have to dig out my Anne Pliska decant, which I was planning to do actually, in connection with another post I had in mind. I remember it as orangey and maybe herbal or spicy? - not very approachable, certainly - so will look out now for any resemblance to Dune!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-11090765867798037442011-01-28T20:31:50.740+00:002011-01-28T20:31:50.740+00:00I am so late reading this, but I always feel that ...I am so late reading this, but I always feel that Anne (Anna?)

I'd be surprised if that went all toilet cleaner on you, though I could believe it of the Penhaligon's one. Those Etro scents are pricy (less so here - more around the £60 mark at Fascination), but that Via Verri one was undeniably pleasant!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-7317377224274481702010-12-05T15:35:34.874+00:002010-12-05T15:35:34.874+00:00Hi Vanessa, the Etri Via Verri ist a pleasent lemo...Hi Vanessa, the Etri Via Verri ist a pleasent lemon scent that turns NOT intro a weird toilet cleaner scent, just waves away in an elegant though slightly artificial flowery non-defined something. I like it a lot but been wonderin why I should shell 95 Euro out for it. I am just badly (!!) in need of some mood-improving lemon and I wanted to get something else then the usual Un Jardin Sur Le Nil.Andreeahttp://mybeautyblog.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-82885572114762342112010-11-14T13:21:46.540+00:002010-11-14T13:21:46.540+00:00Hi ScentScelf,

And if I ever did get a Saturday job there, "doing the knowledge" of what bottles live where, both out front and in the storeroom I don't doubt is at the back, would be a major challenge before hitting the salesVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-5204158022732216792010-11-13T14:56:41.173+00:002010-11-13T14:56:41.173+00:00Oh, the pictures.

I do have days when I don't want to speak to anyone though, and that also goes for shopping trips. Depends very much on how &Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-81569745611257889362010-11-11T13:54:04.678+00:002010-11-11T13:54:04.678+00:00What a wonderful place!

From your posts, you seem to be a rather social and chatty person, which I kind of envy, honestly. My ideal shopping experience is to speak to no one, be helped only if I ask and remain totally autonomous.<br /><br />That may be because I suck at shopping.<br /><br />Nice pics, too!Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-16137684262550493862010-11-11T11:51:53.388+00:002010-11-11T11:51:53.388+00:00Hi Ines,
