Good for you! If you manage to drain both of them, you might try emailing Lancome directly in Paris — I know when they stopped selling it online last time (it was originally a 1999 limited edition), they were still selling it in one of their flagship stores there.

I did not do a full-scale search of the discounters, but beautyencounter still has it.

I have wanted to try this fragrance for a long time, got a sample and now I really want it. However, I can't find it anywhere, and the Lancome site reports that it has been discontinued. Does anyone know anything about this? Does anyone know if it will come back? Maybe in a new incarnation? I am reallllly disappointed, it smells awesome, and all I have is a teeny vial!

Interesting, I don't think of it as so clean and sanitized and commercial, but you're right that there is nothing at all “dirty” in there, and certainly nothing at all in the leagues of Rose de Nuit. Hmmm. Maybe it is more sanitized than I thought.

And Windex is perfect — exactly.

Oops, that was MeUR, not MdUR. Darn these fingers.

Windex. The juice looks like Windex.

I love this fragrance, especially for spring, when I want something FRESH! that isn't CITRUS! or MARINE! That said, there's something about it that reminds me of a really beautifully scented shampoo or lotion. It's got a commercial, almost sanitized quality. This doesn't make me love it any less, but it changes my love such that I don't feel that it'll ever replace my other beloved rose scents. It's like this:

MdUR::SL Rose de Nuit

Barbie doll hair::real human hair

Sometimes I want that earthy REALness of a good dirty rose.

Wow, at the outlet store, lucky you!!! I have never used up 4 bottles of *anything*, I am impressed.

I don't reach for any of my roses very much, and I'm still not entirely sure why. I have to be in a very particular mood to want to wear rose. Same is true of carnation, but it isn't true of many other flowers.

I assume it was not just to make them all look alike, but also a much cheaper way to reissue from the back catalog, and since I'm all for reissuing from the back catalog whenever possible, I hate to complain. But even a paler blue would have been more palatable.

You know, there is *always* substitution. I'm sort of trying to not care anymore, since nobody asks me first

But I'd be very surprised if Annie doesn't already own the new bottle, so it must have been ok with her!
