    Though I never cared for the original Opium, Honorine’s mention of “quality, quality” is encouraging. Makes me think they may have actually put some $ into the creation of the juice. Makes me want to try it…

      Could be, although she isn’t likely to say otherwise, right? I guess it depends on whether you’re a glass half full person or a glass half empty person, LOL…

      Sorry for being pessimistic, but it just occurred to me that to her a “high” budget would be relative — perhaps one just barely greater than she was given for SJP NYC or Marc Jacobs Pear Splash. But who knows; I definitely have an open mind. And it’s always interesting to me to see videos where you see the perfumer and hear his/her voice.
