Except for the preying mantis wearing a crown, I like the bottle!
It looks nice in pale blue, and not quite so deadly as the EdP version.
To SMokeyToes:
This bottle is too sharp to hurt people, I think.
Uma is rather free with her fragrance endorsements, isn’t she? It wasn’t too long ago that she was the face of Lancome’s ‘Miracle’ if I’m not mistaken. Well, I suppose a girl’s gotta eat.
LOL…I rather doubt she needs to worry about her next meal
She ended up suing Lancome after her contract expired, IIRC, but don’t know who won.
Are you sure Uma eats?
LOL…I hope so!
I remember Uma endorsing Lancome’s Miracle not that long ago too!
I love Audrey Tautou! Wonder when it will release in the U.S.
The Chanel movie, in the fall, I think…
Hm, Audrey seems to be another woman who doesn’t eat. . . .
Rather looking forward to a new Givenchy! Hope it’s better than the last one, which I have blotted out of my memory banks.
It isn’t my favorite fragrance brand, but we’ll see, perhaps they’ll surprise me.
For some reason they work pretty well on my skin. We’ll see!
I love it! Well, in photos, at least. Last time, I was severely disappointed when I saw the EdP in stores. The base wasn’t nearly as sharply-faceted and, accordingly, looked cheap.
Still haven’t gotten a sniff….
Guessing this one will look about the same!
I think Audrey is just perfect for Chanel ad.
Agree
Robin, have u gotten to try the Feerie toilette? I really liked the original and havent gotten to try this one. It sounds wonderful. Violet leaves, lemon, raspberry. rose & jasmine!
I havent’! But I didn’t love the original.
