I would love to buy the "stronger" like-old one. One comment board had a comment that it was available in the Paris store. Does anyone know if that is true?

After receiving a decant of this perfume and taking my first whiff, I was immediately transported back to the bathroom of my long ago deceased grandmother. It specifically recalls to me the smell of a bright orange tube of lipstick in her drawer that I used to try on. While a truly love this flashback down memory lane, I can't say that I would want to wear this perfume all day. Does anybody else think that Apres l’ondee smells like old lipstick?

When I wear it,I'm a newly qualified teacher dining out in a candle-lit bistro on The Kings Road,many eons ago.... It reminds me that I am still that young woman,Who was on the edge of her life,about to launch herself.Only now I'm inhaling the rain-soaked violets and 'getting it'.......... Can I say it's a bit like a Barbara Cartland novel in that it's a tad reminiscent of powdery bosoms and surrendering,and yet the whole experience makes one happy to be alive?

I was stunned the first time I smelled it there- I had never smelled something so mournful before, nor had it occured to me that something could smell mournful at all.

But I decided to try the Vintage EdT that was from a 1950's bottle. I can try the current version in Harrods for a comparison. I've read a lot about this fragrance, and always felt attracted to it. About time I give it a go! Anticipating its arrival with glee........ I went onto TPC to order a wee sampler to try out (sadly, yes, the Parfum is extraordinarily expensive.)
