Laura: I wish you’d tried this so you could tell us what it’s like! I know you like the original a lot but this one sounds more like something I’d like. The description on Ozmoz ia very alluring, but what’s not to like about starry night skies;D. The bottle is lovely. March 14, 2006 at 5:30am
BoisdeJasmin: From what I hear via several people who tried it is that it is not too different from the original, but a bit warmer perhaps. The bottle is lovely, but I admit that I am more partial to the original orange and silver. March 14, 2006 at 11:02am
Rita: It has a little book in the box by Anna Gavarad(sic)but I couldn’t find an open box anywhere. I was told that it was a special surprise gift only for those who bought it, of course. If the writing is anything like the prosaic and poetic descriptions in the Hermes catalogues I am tempted. If anyone does buy it, please reveal all. I am also hoping for the L’Occitane to write a fable about their “Fragrance Merchant” mascot. March 19, 2006 at 4:43pm
BoisdeJasmin: I also heard that the box should include a story, but I have not seen it. If it comes my way, I will definitely let you know. Sounds very interesting! March 20, 2006 at 11:32am
Rita: Thank you. Can I inspire you to write some fragrant fiction? March 20, 2006 at 6:56pm
BoisdeJasmin: If only I had more time! However, yes, inspiration is always welcome. 🙂 March 25, 2006 at 7:12pm
