I would LOVE to have a Malle body cream. His vetiver soap is honestly the nicest soap I've ever used in my life.

That is some idea, mixing-matching bodycreams or using a different bodycream under the perfume from the same parfumeur.

Those bodycreams and soaps are great for when travelling. That way you can still smell good without worrying if that bottle will leak or worse break…

Have not had any chance to try Jardin/Mousson for it is just not around here yet… but it is in Amsterdam and that is where I am going this sunday.. and then I might try Eau/Hiver as well, now that you mentioned it.

Both body creams are great. The L'eau D'hiver is very light and absorbs quickly. Great for summer. Fans of thick creams be warned: the consistency of this is like half and half, not like heavy cream. It lasts forever at that great woody/cloud stage.

The Mousson cream is heavier, but not thick. Like heavy cream. It also lasts forever and is absolutely true to the fragrance, which I love.

So while I'm poor, after paying for those, I smell quite elegantly poor.

I purchased Jardin/Mousson and the body cream, because I love body creams. I know it's been panned, but I love it. And now I'm having fun mixing and matching the various Ellenas in creams and fragrances. And will be selling my body on the street; I may have to go to a 12-step program and not buy any more this year. These purchases impoverished me.

No, it's a sort of light jasmine-y thing.

Wow Quinn that is a good purchase. Have you bought Un Jardin Apres La Mousson as well or will you?

Actually, I was just assuming because I thought these nominations reflect a bit what does well… but then, I can think of one, B*Men, that was discontinued soon after winning a Fifi.
