I ordered the trial set of this line with the first four frags and thought they were quite nicely done. I don’t know if I’d pay retail for full sizes of them, but if they go on sale I’m picking them up. I can’t wait to go to VS and check this out, which says something because I’m not a huge fan of VS’s other products and lost love for their lingerie years ago.

My hubby adored Rapture and it was my signature scent when we were dating. I’d gently scent letters with it, sprayed his pillow with some when life got in the way and i couldn’t be with him, and it is what I wore on my wedding. I wanted something grand and heady in the floral department, but wanted our day to be special and to wear his favorite on that day, so I wore Rapture instead of a more classic or traditional wedding fragrance. He gave me some the day our twins were born, one day shy of our anniversary since we knew we were likely going to be parents and too exhausted to do much else on the official day, so there’s even more sentimental value I attach to Rapture. And I think the bottle’s really tacky, but again the juice inside is why I buy it.

It isn’t the most sophisticated fragrance in the world, and not necessarily in my HG category, but it is special because of the history it represents.

But…! I have a winner! I have successfully layered, without a scrubber attack! The Stella and the Trish McEvoy are reeeeeeeally good together! And considering I wasn’t crazy about either of them on their own, this is really good news!

Anyone who tried both and can compare them?
