I found the newer one a tad sweeter, denser, richer -- but we are talking very minor differences here. They're nearly the same. The orange blossoms for the 2 versions are from the same location, so just different harvests. They are slightly different.

I keep inhaling my wrist; It is to die for. So here is my question. Do you know what the difference is between the two vintages? I wonder if the notes are the same or if they use different orange blossoms. Does anyone know? I have a few samples of L'Artisan's Fleur d' Oranger 2007 and it is absolutely heavenly.

In L'Artisan's favor, I am not accusing them of not providing samples. Actually I'm not sure if they did or not for this one, but they usually do.

They do have their loyal fans, however, and maybe I'm being a little unfair... I also agree in that expensive perfume should be available in a variety of sizes. As lovely as this scent sounds, I sense there is some handy marketing at play with the grande size, as if to imply "When it comes to luxury, buy harvest...and those who indulge in such extravagence could afford to spend $250.00 to sample a fragrance." Scent is so personal--it's absurd for anyone to imply, that to wear a sample before purchasing is tacky. “High cost as a selling point”…I'm imagining a particular house beginning with “CR”, ending with “EED”.

The Muguet is worth it just for the bottle. But -- I am even cheaper when it comes to shoes. Obviously you are L'Artisan's target market and I am not!

I've spent more - Doblis from Hermes cost me over $500, not to mention that 130 euro bottle of 28ml edt Muguet (cough). I guess $250 to me is just like another pair of shoes - just as easy to justify. Hmm, the price *is* steep, but didn't put me off enough not to buy it.

But I forgive Hermes because they do the lovely (and economical) discovery sizes. Ouch, really? But I forgive Hermes because they do the lovely (and economical) discovery sizes.
