It didn't really have much about it, as I recall, and goodness knows I don't usually hold that against a perfume!<br /><br />No, I failed to try either of the Costes. To have been to the shop three times and still not tried them is poor, I know!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-22874033683548200332011-12-31T18:34:18.369+00:002011-12-31T18:34:18.369+00:00I adore Eau Frappee and have you to thank for it &...I adore Eau Frappee and have you to thank for it <3 Now I am completely intrigued by Eau Baptiste. I had heard of it before but it is difficult to come by. Am wanting to try it even more now. The others don't interest me at all. I have tried Ether and don't like it. It just isn't remarkable, nor is it me. <br />You STILL haven't tried Costes? Nor the Costes 2?

Best on dry skin I sense, but with a bit of powder I can offset the slight oily aspect - that is due to its moisturising properties after all!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-56951271280163785392011-12-31T13:50:47.434+00:002011-12-31T13:50:47.434+00:00Hi Ines,

He was on his own in the store each time I visited, though your SA sounds nice.<br /><br />PM me if you would like a snifter of Eau Frappee...!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-59065357588468847652011-12-31T11:59:05.793+00:002011-12-31T11:59:05.793+00:00I didn't know you grew up in Ireland!

Ron sounds fun.<br /><br />I like the sound of L'Ether the most and think Asali wants/has a full bottle, but it's too bad you found it indistinct.<br /><br />I must tell you that I finally got the Garnier BB cream you reviewed and I love it! Thanks so much for introducing me to it.<br /><br />Have a lovely New Year's Eve.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825957684276136205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-86340080361610909102011-12-31T11:06:10.737+00:002011-12-31T11:06:10.737+00:00Ha, I never conisdered the fact that I fit right i...Ha, I never conisdered the fact that I fit right in at Costes. :)<br />Is Ron the owner?<br />If so, he spent most of our visit chatting with Denyse while a really beautiful SA helped us. She really was quite nice and smiling. <br /><br />Eau Frappee was also on my IUNX shortlist (see, another overlap in our tastes). :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-69114974373017275042011-12-31T08:51:51.019+00:002011-12-31T08:51:51.019+00:00Hi Olfactoria,

I was definitely kept in the dark on this point, which was not difficult on a winter's day after 4pm in a store painted a deep shade of red. The fact of the matter is that I am not a natural purchaser of bulk anything, so that gives me another reason to return - to check out the little bottles and maybe spring Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-21391468381647408242011-12-31T05:42:39.703+00:002011-12-31T05:42:39.703+00:00Those humungous bottles are such a turn-off!

We did talk about the price rise since my last visit - I think the 150ml bottles are around the 120 euro mark, or will be soon. Given that I was up for buying one of those in the first place, maybe I would be the last Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-60310357258987339982011-12-30T23:48:03.323+00:002011-12-30T23:48:03.323+00:00Hahaha, yes it's true Ines did seem dressed fo...Hahaha, yes it's true Ines did seem dressed for the occasion at Iunx.<br />Was it only some of the fragrances that had a 20ml bottle?
