Love her! I visited her last week while in Seattle on vacation: she took one look at me and said, "You're so young and innocent! You need something light, something almost virginal." Then she peered around at me and muttered, "It's nice to pretend, isn't it?" As it turned out, a lot of the "virginal" scents just weren't for me (I like funkier stuff), so she pegged me as someone who just doesn't like to do what she's told (which isn't far off the mark either). Instead, she helped me find frags with incense in them, which I like, and was lovely, gracious, and hilarious throughout the process. She isn't there a whole lot, I had to call to make sure she was in before I visited, but oh MAN is she worth a visit! Nasreen is a riot! Love her!

But have you tried searching for it online? Often online discounters sell discontinued scents, and at a good price, too. Good luck!

Also, I still have a couple of bottle of Fath set aside for you...

It is too fruity and juicy for a woman.”" Hee! Aw, I love her. I do love that she intoned to you that you were "naughty." What fun! I've never been there, but whenever I get a chance to head to Seattle her shop is definitely on my must-visit list. :) ““I would never wear something like Island Kiss by Escada — that’s for 16 or 17-year old girls.

Nasreen is an experience, although it's sounding like she's not always there. She didn't pick a scent for me, but she encouraged me to visit. I fear, though, that I won't live up to be the vixen she thinks I am. Thank you! Nasreen is an experience, although it's sounding like she's not always there.

I love this because I have heard about Nasreen for years but never had the pleasure of going to see her yet myself. Did she pick a new scent for you through this interview? Angela,
