Gail: What do you mean, inspired by the L word? I love/hate that show but what about it inspired the perfumer? Lesbianism? Overcoming obsticals? Great beauty? Cliches? What? February 3, 2006 at 9:09am
Katie: Hm, I am interested in trying this solely because I think the other two Apothia scents were worthwhile. However, I have to second the questions Gail just asked. February 3, 2006 at 1:33pm
BoisdeJasmin: Gail, I do not watch this show, and I have no idea what it is about (other than reading about it in the press), so you are probably in a better position to make a guess. February 4, 2006 at 4:55pm
BoisdeJasmin: Katie, I have a feeling that it is going to be very good. Well, other Apothia fragrances are very clever, therefore I do not expect to be disappointed. February 4, 2006 at 4:55pm
Jessica: I participated in the creation of this fragrance. The online viewers got to fill out a survey with various questions (some linked to the show, some strictly our preferences) and that information was partially how the scent was inspired. It was a fun process and I can’t wait to smell the scent! February 11, 2006 at 12:54am
BoisdeJasmin: Jessica, thank you for your comment. Very interesting! I am very much looking forward to trying the fragrance. February 12, 2006 at 6:13pm
