For me, it's fig. I detest fig. I don't know why. <br /><br />Mimosa seems like the cheeriest, although I think a sari made of lemon meringue would get a little sticky. <br /><br />Unfortunately I work with someone who gets migraines easily, so perfume is out for the daytime.

If you would like this scent to smell like India you will be sorely disappointed, but in and of itself, it's prettiness - and cosy warmth - personified.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-42541483723116659432016-02-29T10:13:19.950+00:002016-02-29T10:13:19.950+00:00PS And a big thank you to you and the mule for fac...PS And a big thank you to you and the mule for facilitating all of this!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-84386980778901014342016-02-29T10:12:32.387+00:002016-02-29T10:12:32.387+00:00Hi Undina,

What appeals is the combination of spring cheer and winter warmth - it is a perfect transitional or 'sprinter' scent.<br /><br />I laughed at the idea that we will put our heads together to scent Clare's Welsh holiday. Cycling may be involved, and hot water for sure. ;)Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-89962639382845141242016-02-29T10:09:54.109+00:002016-02-29T10:09:54.109+00:00Hi Asali,
