I have just read your review of Dr Vranjes and there is one inaccuracy. The Antica Farmacista name in America has absolutely no connection to the Antica Officina line in Florence Italy.
Paolo no longer makes any fragrance for the importer in Seattle and his only exclusive distributor in America is Dollars & Scents in New York. This is a point that needs to be clarified. The consumer should know the difference since all the Antica Farmacista fragrances that are distributed out of Seattle are NOT made in Italy - only those being sold by Dollars & Scents are Italian creations from Paolo Vranjes.
I would really appreciate it if you would not this.

I admit, the name made me think of an evil orthodontist, but these actually do sound rather promising. Thanks for the reviews Ina

Robin, you’re right on. Diptyque have quite unique fragrances, in my opinion, to pull it off. Tocca perfumes are just vile. I simply cannot believe how much I dislike them. Anthousa wasn’t much better either. I say we need more complexity!!

March, I’m glad to save you some $$. I often get accused of the opposite.

Elle, Esperia is actually quite nice for a marine floral. Now that you mention bathing, I think these would make excellent bath oils/shower gels.

Marina, Elettra would be a purchase if it was a bit more affordable.

Thank goodness! Finally something that does not have me running and screeching for the credit cards.

That home diffuser quality is all over the place this year. I don’t know why, but I find the linear, home fragrance thing ok in a Diptyque, not ok in most other lines. Maybe because Diptyque just starts with higher quality components, and uses better noses? I thought the Tocca & Anthousa debuts this year were both quite disappointing.
