I do get the lily though - not on the first couple of samplings - but I swear I do detect it now. Let me try Belle again and come back to you re your kind offer. I didn't know they did bottles in 10ml, or is it a decant? I feel I should really love it before putting you to the Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-77126634670095832032010-09-25T20:56:47.352+01:002010-09-25T20:56:47.352+01:00Belle has slight incense ( avery industrial take o...Belle has slight incense ( avery industrial take on it) and the lilly? ia m still looking for it... might walked by.

As I say, the opening doesn't "gel" very well, with the lilies and the incense business seeming a rather weird combo, but it comes into its own later.<br /><br />And I do so love being called Bonks! : - )Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-72340976631894623522010-09-22T16:22:08.757+01:002010-09-22T16:22:08.757+01:00As an Opium lover, I must try the new one.

I have done once, though it is not something which I have ever admitted publicly, or which I can remember clearly enough to make the connection with Belle d'Opium.<br /><br />The vague and fuzzy memory is rather nice, though, just as this perfume appeals in a vague and fuzzy way!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-47912249917999115012010-09-21T19:41:06.644+01:002010-09-21T19:41:06.644+01:00Have you ever smoked a Hookah?

And yes, do try it - I should give it another go really to be quite sure where I stand. And also check out the Belle d'Opium if you don't know it - it is growing on me, as I say.<br /><br />As for our Greek-looking friend, I did get his number, but not in the way I think you mean, haha...!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-20371729343547344642010-09-19T13:10:17.471+01:002010-09-19T13:10:17.471+01:00What a shame about the lack of interesting fragran...What a shame about the lack of interesting fragrances to sample! You have intrigued me with the JM, though. I think I would like to try it despite it's "loudness". It just seems like it might have made more sense for it to be released in the Spring or early summer, as opposed to cooler months when we start heading for heavier frags, no?<br /><br />So, re: the ?Mediterranean man lovethescentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382961211263766637noreply@blogger.com
