I have lots and it's hard to track down!<br /><br />Hi Scentscelf- thrilled you like VV too and will look up the NSP- sounds very interesting indeed and you have great taste! <br /><br />Hi Pamela- isn't it a good one- glad you like it too- hope you had a delightful weekend- we finally got spring here in London and it was beautiful<br /><br />Hi Karin- that's interesting about VV being softer, I guess in some ways you're right, it's very luscious and green. En Passant is lovely, all of those quieter Frederic Malle scents are extremely beautiful<br /><br />Hi Six- Yeah I think ALO goes whatever the season but I think in spring you can wear this where as in summer it might be a bit oppressive in the heat as it's a bit headyRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-49150315499243630832010-04-17T15:48:51.355+01:002010-04-17T15:48:51.355+01:00Hello fellow participant!

I think Vent Vert is fabulous...and a much harsher mistress than No. 19, which gets a totally bad rap for being some sort of cool ice princess *!tch. I absolutely love No. 19; it is in a special green trinity of mine, along with Temps d'une Fete and Chamade. (Chamade is pushing "green" a bit, bit there you go.) <br /><br />I appreciate Apres L'Ondee...but when push came to shove, I ended up investing in En Passant. Somehow it was more my spring than Al'O. I ought to figure out why someday.<br /><br />Okay, okay; I think you're going to be the one to finally put me over the edge to at least *try* La Tulipe already. Rhubarb? I'm in.<br /><br />We've discussed Bluebell before...I need to find my way to a sample somehow. As for my own spring scents, I yammer about that myself in my entry. But I'll go ahead and mention Niki Saint Phalle again, because after I posted yesterday's entry (about pairing NSP with a green tea latte), I realized that I had come to Niki for spring last year, too, but never gave her credit. Time to change that. :)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-57120503496995624642010-04-16T17:35:16.589+01:002010-04-16T17:35:16.589+01:00I have to get Guerlain Apres L'Ondee - your de...I have to get Guerlain Apres L'Ondee - your description is just what I want - sunshine after rain.
