Sigh. The notes sounded so good. *Must* try both of those layering combos - the poor man's way to have the rush of new fragrances. :-) Happy New Year!

Ciel Mon Jardin used to appeal to me more than it does now but I agree, the rhubarb in it is just perfect. It does dry down sort of Angel-like on my skin, though.

It's more along the lines of Violet Angel but I need to do a proper test. Marina, not, it’s not. It’s more along the lines of Violet Angel but I need to do a proper test.

I've used the Perlier honey bath and shower products for years and putting on the Botrytis after a shower full of honey products, I can only think it would be unwise to take a walk in bear country! lol Winne the Pooh would find me irresistible. I tried out a sample of Ciel Mon Jardin from Le Prince Jardinier this week and although a fruity gourmand with patchouli is light years away from my usual taste, something about this just grabbed me and sucked me in. It may be the rhubarb, which is a note I was previously unfamiliar with. It is quite bright in this composition. I never would have thought you could happily blend rhubarb and patchouli (let alone make me like it), but I'm so strongly drawn to this that I ordered a bottle immediately.

[only joking- I love ya! ] Funny that we love to layer the same ones... DO try Poivre S. with Eau de Merveilles- you will fall in love big time...the PS also adds a nice zing to Avignon ! What do I love? Anything that smells like fine wine- Patchouli Leaves from Montale [ kiss, kiss, Prince Vijayji, my subcontinental sweetie!], Botrytis from Ginestet [ many will bitch that it's too honeyed, but me likee, anyway], and Frapin 1270- a cognac-y EdP that starts out sweet, turns dry and earthy in a few minutes! Just shoot me, ok? I'm a tad defensive [you think?!] because DH has become minorly traumatized [ he has post-sillage stress disorder] from my fragrant forays- but I'm not backing down , along with Tom Petty... I'm sure that you've encountered similar beefs from your beloveds. I should know, by now, that you won't persecute me for my fragrant excesses... Forgive your dumbass friend for the rant- and have a lovely w/e... Oh, and: May you all be inscribed in the Book of Life for a sweet, healthy, and beautiful [fragrant !] New Year- L'Shanah Tovah !
