Chicken, I was trying to write a comment on your 2nd blog, but none of the options will work for me as my ‘identity’. I’m trying not to be concerned about what this might mean…

(Sorry, Robin, that this is not related to the poll)

I know I’m a little late on this one but I would definitely go for Calyx by Perscriptives. Inoffensive, but not lacking in character and certainly rather beautiful.

I actually loved it – for about half an hour. Something horrible happened in the drydown.

I’d rather have the chocolates than the Very Hollywood. I DID sample that at a Macy’s. I thought it was meh – though I like the flashy bottle-for-squealing-girls!

If you have an invite I would gladly take it off your hands (lemonprint@gmail.com) – I’m excited about the present you got for yourself TOO!

I only just vaguely know who JG is, so not a problem for me

I liked Ma Dame much better than other people, I think — I thought it was great fun.

Oh! FD you are right — Magie Noire *is* a shell of it’s former self, and I am fortunate enough to have some vintage to know.. but even the eviscerated MN is better than most of the new stuff being put out these days. I’d rather smell a faded old MN or even EL’s Knowing, Youth Dew, Clinque’s Aromatics Elixer, et al, than most of the musky-shampoo-dryer sheet stuff being released in a current Macy’s. I think a hip young woman would show a lot of moxie if she reached for one of these older major fragrances, regardless of whether or not they’ve been reformulated. At least she’d give me some hope for the future! Today’s curious young person is tomorrow’s customer for Serge Lutens, Frederic Malle, Tauer Perfumes, etc…
