I must say the nozzle also looks like something from the 80s - one of those ones under more pressure than today, if you know what I mean.<br /><br />The ice cream is a promotional gimmick from the agency I am actually working for - to intrigue potential new customers.

On balance, it is probably no loss that you are equally deprived of drugstore scents. The wall of cheap perfumes and celebuscents that confronts you in a typical drugstore chain in the UK or Germany can be rather overwhelming, and you Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-26993576566309194232015-06-28T18:58:11.858+01:002015-06-28T18:58:11.858+01:00I like the label 'blingy bottle' :-D Jovan...I like the label 'blingy bottle' :-D Jovan Intense Oud does sound nice, only I do hate re-applying, something I'll only do for my big-love perfumes. <br />It's funny how having very little access to niche perfumes here, actually there's also only a limited amount of drugstore perfumes available.
