Oh dear oh dear. I love guerlain, I love vintage and antique and I dearly wanted to love this. I bought unsniffed because I got a bargain price, but it was a big mistake. It started off reasonably...

This is one of my favorite 2 fragrances in existence! It is a light oriental yet is lasting too. A sophisticated scent and totally unlike anything else. I think the key is to apply it lightly to...

Shalimar. How much I wanted to love this. I, too, wanted so much to be a woman who could wear a classic, vintage fragrance, but alas, I'm more drawn to the Jill Stuarts and Ava Luxes and Lea St....

This, together with Mitsouko, is my favourite. I love classics and was intrigued by what I have read about this. I tried Shalimar whilst shopping one day, got into the car when hubby picked me up...

For quite a while I've been trying to find a new fragrance. It's difficult to find something that's not too musky, too sweet, or synthetic smelling on me. I've tried on two or three of the MUA...
