    For Les Exclusifs lovers out there: Bergdorf Goodman in NYC also carries the entire line on its fragrance floor.

    Of course, we here at NST knew about those wondrous jasmine and rose fields. *Sigh*

    What a lovely plummy accent CS has! I’ll buy it, whatever it is!

    Are those ginormous bottles in the background factices, or real perfume for sale?? (I only ask cuz I wouldn’t be terribly surprised either way.)

      I assume they’re factices, but don’t know.

    What…I went there last week, albeit briefly, and never saw this new counter! Bah Humbug.

      Oh, too bad! Or maybe it isn’t open yet?

    And what’s with the beauty spokeswoman? What’s with that affected accent? Ah, more annoying than the background music.

      I didn’t pay much attention after Sheldrake was done…

    I awnt to try those ceramic blotters CS talks about – if they work as described, can we hope they become a standard feature in the better stores?

      Does sound interesting. But doubt it will get widespread…must be more expensive than paper, and of course you can’t take it with you when you leave the store.
