I would be looking for one of those cute little 15 ml bottles. But trying to remember if they ever did one in Bois Farine…

Ah – just stepped out of a hot, steamy bath and applied a few dabs from my Bois Farine sampler. It is perrrrrrfect for such a moment. Yes, I will have to buy more of this stuff. Love it, love it, love it. It fits my skin chemistry like a glove.

J, It is one of my favorite lines!

Have you tried the 3 new Guerlains — Rose Barbare, Cuir Beluga, Angeliques? Wondering what you thought of them since everyone is saying they are derivative of the SL line.

It made me ill too and I have no intention of ever smelling it again, if I can avoid it.

I have yet to find *one* L'Artisan that I find pleasant, let alone like.

R, it is a shame they stopped making that size except for in the coffrets. I wish I had bought more while they were still available too.

Came to me this morning, V: could it be heliotrope? It is more often described as almond than peanut, but does have a definite nutty undertone with the creamy vanilla.

I loved those 15 ml bottles! What happened to them? I bought three from beautycafe.com several years ago: premier figuier, vanilia and tea for two. Like a fool, I gave tea for two away.

Now I wish I had kept it or could replace it with the same size bottle. :(

Hugs!

Oh yeah — that brain cell (I have very few left) was long since written over. Just went and put them both on. I smell something very candy-sweet in the start of DdR & the Gaultier. It doesn't last long in the DdR though. It smells like synthetic fruit flavoring to me, and so I see the bubblegum reference, but I just don't get anything nutty in either. Your nose must be more finely-tuned than mine!
