I've ordered a travel-sized set from Drugstore.com, but my only real hopes are for the fragrance. If its lovely, I'll live without the smoothing :-) And thanks for the very kind words!!

I'm tempted by the name of the OB smoothing shampoo, but the product has yet to be manufactured that can smooth my hair. And I realized, after posting last week, that neglected to say that NST itself is one of my favorite things of 2007. It's been a large part of my fragrance education, and I appreciate the civil level of discourse here. Thank you both for clarifying about the Shiseido.

But after seeing it again on this best-of list, I gave it a second chance, this time on my skin. Now I'm in love. Can't wait to buy a bottle.

Plus I'm craving light, sheer fragrances (I get a bit nauseaus from orientals these days, would you believe it!), adore iris and orange blossom and do trust your taste, as well as Vika. So I can't see this blind purchase going wrong, honestly! The only thing is it'll have to wait for sunnier days, sunny meaning solvent in this case :-) PS I've just reread (for the umpteenth time) your review of IdI and a commenter mentioned it reminded them of Dzongkha, which I absolutely adore thanks to you :-) So you see, everything seems to be pointing to the same direction, LOL!

It is light, but it leaves more of an impression than you'd think, and gosh, it is just lovely. I keep some sprayed on my scarf. On the print ads, it is too many for me to remember at the end of the year and choose, LOL...but I did like that Christina A ad. Also loved the ad for Kelly Caleche, although thought it was a very bad fit w/ the scent itself. Wish I could remember more of them! And a very Happy New Year to you :-) Do try the Prada again.

Thanks! HI Robin I am so glad that you mentioned Kelly Caleche cos I thought a lot of people were disappointed by it (yet I love it so much!). I agree with you on Covet and L'Occitane's range too. I haven't tested many celebrity fragrance but was quite impressed with Covet. It's not something I'd normally wear, but it did left me a nice impression. The L'Occitane's range were quite the opposite, plus they were so expensive! I re-read your review on Prada's Iris and thought may be I should give it another go, cos I have only tested it once on a strip of paper and thought it's nice but too light to leave an impression (similar to your first impression!) ... Do you have a favourite (or least favourite) perfume poster ad of the year? I am just curious, I didn't keep track of them so it;s hard for me to say, but I just look at Christina A's one and thought that was quite nice. I like Nicole Kidman on Chanel No.5 too, I love that No.5 pendant (but is that 2007?)...the worst for me is a UK one: Coleen's Coleen X (Coleen is a footballer's girlfriend...) I actually thought the bottle looks terrible too anyway, love reading everything you posted, Happy New Year! Great List! Thanks!

Prada Infusion d'Iris was my number one favourite this year. I couldn't believe that I saw Covet on the list...I thought I was the only person who loves this scent. A sneak preview for 2008: I just received a bottle of the new Chloe. It is divine! Apparently beauty editors are going crazy over it. It is a heavenly rose fragrance. Not the usual adulterated rose but pure, esscential oil rose. I think that it will end up on the best of 2008 list. Happy New Year! I look forward to more Now Smell This. Great list of fragrances!
