Delicious. I have a bottle of Tabu, too, and I think it's time that I decant some into a pretty bottle so that I wear it more. And Chopard Madness goes on the list to try! Thanks so much.

Definitely yes to Niki (it's a lovely and unusual scent in a gorgeous bottle, people ought to be fighting to get their claws into it). And my beloved, much maligned Chopard Madness which nobody but me seems to adore. Two of the first Guerlain Aqua Allegorias, Lavande Velours and Winter Delice. Guerlain Chamade, which is heartbreakingly lovely. J'ai osé. And three gorgeous ones which for some reason always earn a haughty sniff from the perfume community: Dana's Tabu (in my opinion, it's like the ad for Fisherman's Friend pastilles: if it's too strong, you're too weak), Coty's L'Origan and Emeraude (yes, even in their present incarnation, mere shadows of their former selves. Just think what they must once have been like!). Yes, Virginia, beauty can bloom in drugstores. Yes to Mugler Cologne.

When I was younger, I did use to be a bit of a drama king :), and I know quite a few leos who take life too seriously, hence the drama, I guess. I wouldn't call myself melodramatic, mind you, but I can understand people defining you or me by the one or two things they've picked up about leos or any other sign, for that matter. Just goes to show that people will make generalized assumptions about you mostly because they haven't got a clue about such things as natal charts. On the other hand, you can just smile next time someone brands you as a drama queen, because astrology is, after all, for me at least, great fun!

I t makes delightful reading, and his descriptive reviews of fragrances are really charming. It was available in Australia a few years ago very reasonably, and is published by Harper Collins. Great topic, thanks Angela! John Oakes has a book called the Perfume Zodiac. I t makes delightful reading, and his descriptive reviews of fragrances are really charming.
