And I'm still praying that either Tubereuse Criminelle or Iris Silver Mist is the limited edition export next year -- they're both such wonderful fragrances, and it would be nice to make them easy to sample/buy.

I absolutely loved it. A truly gorgeous rose scent. Funny, but even though I love most floral scents I choose to sample, I have never been moved enough to purchase one other than Ta'if. I don't think Ta'if is more beautiful than Paestum or Une Rose, for example, but for some reason it just enraptured me that little touch extra. However, I am STILL waiting until I have enough money to sample Tubereuse Criminelle! I love Tuberose, but Fracas is too sweet for me and Carnal Flower was not interesting enough for me. I ordered Criminelle from TPC once but they had run out so refunded me. By the time they got it back, I was too broke to afford a sample! And still am! Ach! One day........ Thanks Robin.

I showed-up on their doorstep last week, all bright eyed and bushy tailed, chirpily asked where they were and......NADA! No more! Discontinued! I've had to order samples from TPC. (luckily the exchange rate seems to be tipping back in our favour, so i'm not complaining.) Liberty's is my favourite place to test scent. They have L'Artisan, Le Labo, Frederic Malle, Piguet, Goutal, Mecheri, and lots more that i cannot bring to mind immediately. Very, very cool. Can;t wait to try Paestum Rose (I also ordered Bois D'Ombrie, which sounds luscious). i’m very disappointed as Liberty’s no longer carries this line.

I also would like to add that it reminds me a little of Comme de Garcon KYOTO - I had bought it for my man and I love it so much, it is no longer available, so I sought to get something like it - and I found this! its more feminine on my skin and i can certainly smell the "rose" - even hours later.

Nothing sour, just strong spices. It's not I'm-gonna-need-a-whole-bottle nice, but I'll probably use the whole sample. Gawd, I'm gonna have to start limiting my fragrance purchases; this habit is getting quite expensive. D= I guess I'm lucky; I got a sample of Timbuktu as well and it turned out nicely on me.

There is definitely a common thread in the base notes. I just grew to love it. Ah well, you love Dzongkha and that will eat plenty of your $$ :-) You know, “sour” was how I felt about Timbuktu (also Bertrand Duchaufour) the first few times I tried it.

I put it on my ankle (I'm out of space on my arms and am flexible enough to be able to sniff the spot, which is probably more information than you wanted) and am not so happy. It smells quite sour on me. It's not bright-citrus sour; it smells strangely like buttermilk. I'm thinking this isn't gonna work on my skin. There is rose in there, and an earthy note that I'm not well-versed enough to correctly identify. Overall, I'm really disappointed. However, I really liked The pour un ete and a sniff in the vial makes me think I'll enjoy Tea for Two. And they were free from luckyscent with my purchase of Dzongkha ( SO HAPPY! x3) so I guess I can't really complain. I guess this is just another one to add to my list when I finally get up the nerve to attempt swapping. I got a sample of this today in the mail, along with a few L'Artisans.
