marchlion: I am trying to figure out how to get P to spring for the Violette so I can have a decant, but when she found out the price she said no way. I mean, I deserve it, right?!?!? I just don’t want to pay for it. February 2, 2006 at 7:41am
violetnoir: Ugh! All of these incredible Guerlains, and they hardly have any of them available at BG. What a disappointment!
Hugs! February 2, 2006 at 11:25am
BoisdeJasmin: March, that is funny. Yes, you absolutely deserve it! February 2, 2006 at 12:21pm
BoisdeJasmin: R, I hope that your Attrape-Coeur arrived already. I am a bit disappointed that they will not have Derby. February 2, 2006 at 12:21pm
violetnoir: Indeed it finally did last Friday, V! Samples included Philtre D’amour, which is very, very pretty! Why can’t Guerlain send that and Derby and AC over here?? :(:(

BoisdeJasmin: R, I am also disappointed. I am glad to hear that it arrived and that the samples were included as well. My friend ordered 7 bottles from them and got 0 samples. Thankfully, when I purchased through Francoise, I received plenty of samples, including La Voilette de Madame! So, next time, I will order from her only. February 2, 2006 at 7:05pm
marchlion: Wait a darn minute, V — have I been mis-reading this the whole time as Violette (violet) and it’s Voilette? (which is… what, anyway?) I feel like such a yokel… but you got a sample?!?! What’s a $1300 perfume smell like, anyway? (A $200 perfume in a $1100 bottle?) C’mon, give me a hint. February 2, 2006 at 9:28pm
BoisdeJasmin: March, it is hardly your fault! In my email, Bergdorf spelled it as La Violette de Madame, which is clearly wrong, since I have seen the bottle and the label on my sample. The lovely Francoise gave me two of these samples, and I sent one of them to a friend who actually did not care for it at all. I think that it is beautiful–opulent and narcotic narcissus resting in the woody iris haze. Mind you, I would not spend $1300 on it, even if I had this money. I do not collect expensive bottles. On the other hand, I shall keep my fingers crossed that it shall be released in a regular bottle at some point in the future. February 2, 2006 at 9:53pm
violetnoir: Boisdejasmin to Guerlain…Did you hear V’s request? Over.
Wouldn’t it be grand if they did decide to market MdViolette in a regular bee bottle? I would love to try that one. (In the future, don’t forget that I am a huge Guerlain fan, too. Hint, hint, lol!) While Guerlain did include a sample of Philtre de Amour and Voile d’ete (I can’t spell its updated name, sorry), the other two samples were Purple Fantasy and Liu. Ugh! I will definitely contact Francoise for all future orders.
Hugs, darling! February 3, 2006 at 1:12pm
BoisdeJasmin: R, La Voilette de Madame should come in a regular bottle. It is a lovely fragrance. Of course, I very highly recommend Francoise. There are other very nice SAs at that store, but she is the one I had a very good experience with. February 4, 2006 at 4:46pm
