mreenymo: Hmmm…Ferre sounds interesting for Spring, don’t you think, V? I love freesia and ylang ylang. They are two of my favorite floral notes.

linda: Both of these sound nice. I especially like the idea of lotus, woods and moss. Thanks for the news, V! January 3, 2006 at 3:56pm
Tania: In a former life, I would never have been interested in either. But now I’m convinced Pierre Bourdon is a genius (Iris Poudre!) and Maurice Roucel too (Musc Ravageur!) and I have to now sniff these and probably brave Macy’s to do it. Thanks for the news! January 3, 2006 at 1:59pm
BoisdeJasmin: R, they do sound very interesting, especially for the warmer months. I love ylang ylang and I have been enjoying some of Clarins fragrances, therefore I am curious to try Ferre. January 4, 2006 at 1:09am
BoisdeJasmin: T, I now find myself sampling fragrances I would have overlooked in the past (and being curious who made them as well), therefore these two caught my attention right away for the same reason as they did yours. January 4, 2006 at 1:10am
BoisdeJasmin: L, lotus, woods and mosses makes for a scent of pond, doesn’t it? Curious indeed! January 4, 2006 at 1:11am
