I go out of my way to search out the rare mainstream gems, because the fact that they can often be had for under $40 a bottle is a pleasure all its own!

I'm kind of JA'd out, if ya know what I mean.<br /><br />Faubourg is a beauty, no wonder your feeling it. And thanks for the heads up on 'Boyfriend.'

The new Jennifer Aniston surprised me in that it really doesn't smell like every other launch, i.e., no pink berry notes. However, it's still boring -- pretty much a straight jasmine soliflore, though I got a banana angle (some ylang-ylang maybe?).<br /><br />I asked for samples of Love, Chloe and 24, Faubourg, both of which I've tried from testers but haven't spent serious time with at home. The 24F I am strongly feeling.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270808520581466353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-44639669579429725572011-03-30T07:49:02.076-06:002011-03-30T07:49:02.076-06:00heee! love that photo - that's gonna be me in ...heee! love that photo - that's gonna be me in 10 years as I already have those shoes<br /><br />I cannot wait to read what you find - so excited!!!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394558427981331885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-65999155621804743252011-03-30T06:10:26.322-06:002011-03-30T06:10:26.322-06:00I am seriously concerned now.

Ok, I know there are people out there who don't like it but I just never thought I knew one (even virtually). :)<br />But I agree with you, as with life, so with perfume, one cannot live in the past, a bright future awaits.
