A giant squishy blood orange w/ honey & tonka, anyway...maybe leave out the marzipan ;-) And had a great vacation, thanks! Hey, odd description but somehow sort of compelling!

Ultrared for men is... like living inside a giant squishy blood orange whose roof is leaking honey and tonka syrup while the walls are lined with marzipan cookies... it is tart and very sweet all at once (think Ruban d'Orange to the power of 3 plus the burnt sugar base of Lempicka's L) but surprisingly never gets cloying. To me, that is - I'm smitten though not sure I'd want to wear it. You, OTOH, will most probably hate it, lol! At least I think you will... Just wanted to share this tidbit - hope you are having a lovely time on your vacation! :-) P.S. When and if you try Ultrared, make sure it's on the skin. Hi, R!

Don't know if Sephora USA will get it, but would be surprised if you couldn't find it online somewhere by the end of the year. It is only very recently released.

Any ideas where I could find Ultrared Man in the USA? Sephora France has it but not Sephora USA. Do you think Ultrared Man will get to the USA this year?

I still haven't seen it, in fact, not sure where they sell Paco Rabanne in the US although I'm sure they sell it somewhere. LOL — good one!

It's like the sweet part of Black XS concentrated and then concentrated some more. It's even sweeter than my daughter's Vera Wang Princess. The good part is that as a launch promotion you get a free pair of headphones with the scent. I presume that's so you won't be able to hear passersby cry out in horror as they asphixiate.

Paris roofs are slate-grey; Prague ones are red. Etc. etc. The overall look is not the same. :-) You haven't missed anything, re. that film: it wasn't just the fact that there was no way it had been shot in Paris that was a problem, LOL!. It was a real turkey. The colour of the stone is different – Paris is grey; Prague looks to me to be cream-coloured. Paris roofs are slate-grey; Prague ones are red.

Prague is getting better since all buildings are getting cleaned up. Personally I think that many buildings are very similar both in Prague as in Paris (neo classique). But then Prague has added to that a lot of roccoco and jugendstil architecture, which makes this city really lively - well the centre at least. Haven't seen that movie.

But no, really, I'm still a snob I'm sure. Ah, if we can include body products, I'll add BBW Coconut Lime Verbena! But no, really, I'm still a snob I'm sure.

(Films set in Paris in the past keep being made there; the problem is that Czech buildings do not look at all like Parisian ones, but Hollywood producers don't seem to have noticed yet. The Affair of the Necklace, for instance, looked ludicrous. LOL!) . I gather Prague is very beautiful still.
