it is yummy. it is also very ‘pink.’ in a good way, as in, the juice is a pale but by no means sweet or sickly pink. it smells pink, but is neither too girly nor ‘in your face.’ i think the Lancome Magnifique was meant to personify the colour red, but this personifies pink far more effectively. perhaps more sugared almonds and rosewater. the peonie note lasts a long time too

as for the bottle, you can easily turn the ‘Chase-Me’ lady to one side and that simplifies it visually. what you can’t tell from the photo is how the bottle feels. it has the satisfying weight and smoothness of a favourite pebble that you enjoy holding in the palm of your hand

Don’t know how widely it will be distributed…

Oh, yes! I remember that. Tania is such a wit.

I kind of like the crown, but the pink picture on the bottle WITH the crown is toooooo much. Now about that advertising copy:
“The heart combines freshly blossoming floral notes, creating contemporary opulence with less volume.” Shouldn’t this therefore come in a, say, 5 ml bottle max?

Maybe I just had a long work day (I did), but reading this thread was sort of like stepping into a Dali painting — or a Monty Python movie. You are all SO funny!

And sorry, I can’t get past the ugh-worthy bottle. And the raspberry.

Loved Boudoir the original… this sounds more… Spontaneous than the original did, although i agree with that it was LUSCIOUSLY powdery, (I adored that aspect) and Highly Volumetric in the Floral composition of it! so i can only think of this as a Lightening up of the original Juice, (the original had no Raspberry Nectar, but it sounds Yummy!) so am looking forward to this a lot!

I was TRYING to be nice…..howzabout you spritz it all over your person then make all sort of racy promises to him….and then follow thru on every single one…..by morning it’ll be his favorite perfume.
There. that’s what you get for pushing me.

I was about to say “WHERE’S YOUR EYE???” I saw it was an orchid right away—kinda miss the eye…but I’m sure we’ll all adjust. Actually I was scooping some ‘glop’ out of the bottom of the koi pond earlier….can only scoop a couple times before I start coming up with fish. That’s the down side of them ‘loving’ me…everything I do where they can see is verrrrry interesting to them….like nosy little children. But the necklace is pretty secure with a 3000 gauss magnet clasp—if I lost it—I’d just make another exactly the same!
