It was like being in a sunny garden when conditions are just right for the scents of roses (Damask, perhaps) and scores of double white spicy pinks to blend and mingle and create an even greater richness. I just ordered the parfum and I know I'll be in heaven... When I first tried a sample of Donna, I couldn't believe what I was smelling.

So nice to see you. I have not tried any of the oils & must do that one of these days. Was very interested to hear LV say they may do "solid perfumes & special balms" in the future. That might get me to crack open my own rusty wallet :-) Maaahhhhgwet! So nice to see you. I have not tried any of the oils & must do that one of these days.

Yeesh. I think I'll pass. Just ordered Etro MdM decant (my closet's starting to smell like a cathedral!), thanks for the tip. So far Passage d'Enfer is my favorite, I'm wearing it right now... Cumin?

I know that Atkinsons does distribution through Unilever in some South American countries, so I wonder if it may be due to simplifying operations and streamlining their operations. And their whole product line character seems to have changed from the past as a "English" perfumery/soapmaker into something that deals nearly entirely with orientals. Perhaps they are aiming for something that seems more exotic? This is all conjecture on my part of course. I just happen to find it strange that a company with such roots in England and English history would up and leave for another country.

My two favorite LV frags are Spezie, which reminds me of being in a summer herb garden, and the newly-discovered (well, for me, anyway) Musk *oil*, which is profoundly different from the EDT or EDP or whatever it is. It costs more, but it so seduced me this summer that I cracked open my rusty wallet because I *had* to have it. And I am not much of a musk fan, either. It's the perfect fragrance when you don't want to project any kind of image except that of yourself. I have heard the phrase "your skin but better." I think that would aptly describe LV Musk Oil. Mahhhhhhgwet Hiya, Robin, great job as usual!

I wish I knew enough Italian to even muddle through, but I suspect that I don't. Marcello's synopsis is wonderful though. Wow, 9 of them!
