I can't wait to wear it to dinner at my mother's later today. Happy Holidays! I know this is an old review, but I am testing ST today and it’s l.o.v.e., spicy, but creamy soft.

Is the the right forum? Thanks! I may be in the wrong place, I was wanting some help/suggestions from anyone out there about a specific fragrance. Is the the right forum? Thanks!

The L'Artisan ads are just works of art. The average mainstream brand just throws up a scantily clad, vaguely drugged-out looking woman. And thanks so very much for the nice compliment!!

I think that is my objection more than the lack of oomph in the dry down.

I have an unlabelled sample vial which regularly tricks me like this: I take it out, say to myself, 'What's that?' and pour a little on the back of my hand. I find it impossible to know, for the first two or so minutes and then suddenly wham! I realise. And I though olfactory memory was quick! It's comforting, but somehow sickening at the same time, almost as though you can sniff it for a couple of minutes but then feel the need for a change. I like it.

I've never seen it before. L'Artisan does indeed have some fantastic advertisements. Working for Macy's I've aquired many fragrance posters over the years, but I'm always amazed at the sophistication--and boldness--of European ads. They are quite difficult to acquire. And I suppose it's not really a boldness of Europeans, but more of a restraint of us prudish Americans....me NOT included of course! We must be careful not to offend anyone, right? Anyway, I suppose that's a topic for another discussion. One more thing....I just want to thank you so much for what you do and your passionate dedication to your website. I read it religiously and look forward to your postings everyday when I come home from work. I don't comment much, but I've gained so much knowledge of fragrances and the industry because of you and your readers. Your hard work is deeply appreciated! Thanks for turning me on to that website.
