Thank you so much Victoria for reminding us of how important fragrance and specifically perfume is and the impact it has had throughout history and our lives. One drop of…October 2, 2023 at 9:41am
In my adult years, I got so mad at C.S.Lewis, a favorite writer, for his condescending attitude towards clothing and fashion ( and perfume by extension). Now I realize how…

BoisdeJasmin: I am heading to do so! June 9, 2006 at 11:57am
Victoriasown: Any word on when they will have bottles for sale? I heard not till August, I hope it’s sooner. They are gonna get everyone whooped up if they wait that long. :O)
No mention of the violet? The violet was prominent to my nose.A fragrance strip sounds not too accurate. :O( June 9, 2006 at 2:18pm
Gloria: I’ve tried it. It’s definitly a fruity floral and if you like that you’ll love this one. Even if you don’t think you would like it I think you should try it. It has great staying power and is very addictive. May I also say it’s a great compliment getter. June 9, 2006 at 2:25pm
Ina: Have you tried it, V.? June 9, 2006 at 11:47am
Ina: Yay! Can’t wait to hear. 🙂 June 9, 2006 at 1:08pm
Laura: I had not heard of this one! Sounds like it’ll be fun to try. Can’t wait to read your review, V! June 9, 2006 at 4:19pm
BoisdeJasmin: Ina, I need to revisit it at least one more time, but so far I am not enchanted with it. June 11, 2006 at 6:01pm
BoisdeJasmin: V, they have a tester, but no samples to mail out. I understood that the bottles will be available in July, but so far, one can get a preview. I am not sure what the official notes are supposed to be, but I got lots of berries, iris, violet, sandalwood and incense. Maybe, something else too, but I cannot recall it right now.

BoisdeJasmin: Gloria, I found it very tenacious, and it was the only thing I could smell the entire evening. A very strong sillage for sure. June 11, 2006 at 6:03pm
BoisdeJasmin: L, I wonder how you might like it. For me, it was a very traditional composition, which is probably what the house wanted to display. June 11, 2006 at 6:04pm
violetnoir: What? You did not like it, V? I need details.
Thanks!
Hugs! June 13, 2006 at 5:46pm
BoisdeJasmin: R, I promise to have them. It reminded me of Samsara in the drydown, albeit with a bit of musky fruit. June 14, 2006 at 12:30pm

Gloria: Gotta say……some days Insolence is too much for me but it’s very recognizable. It can be too sweet but I get in the mood for it. Not like a lot of perfumes that all smell alike. It gets the compliments I’ll tell ya. July 29, 2006 at 9:10pm
