You must try Bluebell, I might have a sample vial at home to post to you. It's a bit of a marmite scent though. I am mid move but I could get it at Easter. Penhaligon's are quite good about samples for bloggers though ;-)<br /><br />Hi Trish- no there isn't- tis a wonderful little piece of joy<br /><br />Hi Sarah- vintage Shalimar must be a treat. I forget Shalimar you know, I tend to lean towards the LB side but am also a great lover or Mitsouko and Shalimar. <br /><br />Hello E! thanks for stopping by- loved your choices<br /><br />Hi Katie- thanks for visiting- wow the CDG/ L' Artisan combo sounds delicious- Avignon does layer well but it's heaven alone too. Will look up that candle, suspect I will want it, anything incense gets the purse strings loosened!<br /><br />Hi Ines- Mimosa is very charming but unusual, truly like cats paws- I read someone else say that and they were so right. Also a bit like pussy willow. Delish. Bluebell is just lovely to me but as I say above definitely marmite so do try before you buy- to me it just is bluebell woods- which are very special and magical because they are endangered and bluebells are wild flowers- which I prefer<br /><br />Hi Jayne- I should send you a little sample vial some time- as i say above I am mid move so everything non clothes/ essential books wise is with the poor parents AGAIN but I will be more in order come Easter. You can try at Fortnum's and Fenwick's and sometimes Liberty and I think John Lewis Oxford St. Take a big old spray, let it settle and see what you think- it's quite violet and nutty but let it dry and it smells like rain in the sun and comfort and of a bygone time in a good wayRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-50597158863749803402010-03-22T12:26:18.199+00:002010-03-22T12:26:18.199+00:00I think I need to treat myself to Guerlain Apres L...I think I need to treat myself to Guerlain Apres L'Ondee.

I wore a combination of Avignon and L'Artisan Parfumeur Vanilia on my wedding day.<br /><br />By the way, I've recently discovered an incense candle that is beyond even Avignon in churchiness: Spiritus Sancti by Cire Trudon.

So delicious and so very comforting. <br /><br />I also bought L'Air Du Temps as part of my scent memory (my mother used to own it). Another vintage indulgence, but something in it just turns to Yardley and little old lady on my skin. *sigh*Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336618820580162692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-32478474099167525172010-03-19T21:34:02.217+00:002010-03-19T21:34:02.217+00:00i truly love all your posting style, very charming...i truly love all your posting style, very charming.<br />don't give up as well as keep creating due to the fact that it just simply that is worth to follow it.<br />looking forward to look over more and more of your articles, enjoy your day ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-70873903159882941942010-03-19T16:40:27.412+00:002010-03-19T16:40:27.412+00:00It was really an exciting read and i enjoyed it a ...It was really an exciting read and i enjoyed it a lot as i am a very bis fan of scent and i love to use them.

So I gave in. When I do wear it, it's generally for reading in bed before going to sleep. Which is interesting, because unlike a lot of 'fume heads, I often avoid perfumes just before bed.<br /><br />Funny you mention L'Eau d'Hiver as "like Apres L'Ondee." I generally think of En Passant that way. BUT...I do think there is something about the way they behave, Al'O and L'Ed'H, which puts them in a similar boat.<br /><br />Can you believe I STILL have never smelled Penhaglion's Bluebell? I think 2010 might be the year. I feel embarrassed to even talk to you across the pond, having not done so. ;)<br /><br />Happy Spring.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-36736973814359165832010-03-19T12:43:17.601+00:002010-03-19T12:43:17.601+00:00L'air du temps?

It's in a way so eighties, too.Metropolitan Mumhttp://www.metropolitanmum.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
