I love the jam and the spice and the peppery rose element. Yummy stuff. It's not the vivacious pink bubbly-ness I am kind of looking for for summer but definitely something I will be considering.

Not a good sign. But it might be worth emailing them to ask, just in case they're just out of it at the moment? Oh dear, I don't see it there either. Not a good sign.

But I originally wanted to ask something completely different: Could it be that Balkis has been discontinued? I can't find it at PdN's website anymore. And I happen to love this fragrance...

Quite ugly. If you go to beautyhabit, they have some 30 ml EdPs in a square bottle that I hadn't seen, although maybe they've been out for ages and I just missed them.

The scents are often great but the packaging really needs to be improved. It's too cheap, not enough elaborated for today's niche criterions. I know there is the french sentence that says 'Qu'importe le flacon, pourvu qu'on ait l'ivresse' but all the same, it doesn't reflect the fact that she's a Guerlain family member.

But if you adore Balkis EdP, it might be too sheer for you.

You might like it during those times when you are out of love w/ the regular, maybe? Well, it isn't dumbed down, as “light” versions sometimes are, but it is much, much more sheer.
