If so, I recall it sounding divine--as it does here.<br /><br />I haven't found "The One" yet, but I take a stab at it every now and again. <br /><br />You just sent me on a hunt for Habanita by Molinard. The site I checked had the Parfum waitlisted. I don't think this is one for which an EDT would suffice. My grandmother wore it for decades and decades. Pre-internet it was bear to find, but she would always manage to procure more in the nick of time via a traveling friend. I got some once in my 30's but I'm not sure that I was sophisticated enough to carry it off. Now that I am in my 40's, I may give it another go--not that much has changed.<br /><br />Thank you so very much for such an evocative post.<br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360091480233165032.post-6396749383249011182010-08-17T05:11:37.684+01:002010-08-17T05:11:37.684+01:00Finding a scent that perfectly describes you is no...Finding a scent that perfectly describes you is no easy task I agree on this so its better if we find the best perfume.Anyway,I am looking forward yo your next post. :)<br /><br />cletseydo pheromones workhttp://luvessentials.com/pheromones_work.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360091480233165032.post-76415187325077184112010-06-23T12:32:40.186+01:002010-06-23T12:32:40.186+01:00I hope you'll forgive the impertinence, but I ...I hope you'll forgive the impertinence, but I have tagged you for a meme.

Some I don't wear any more, but keep so I can sniff now and then to take me back to my teens or early 20s. <br /><br />Chanel features a lot, but not No 5, I can see its genius, but it's just not right on me!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607851893081344888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360091480233165032.post-59954326294138341072010-06-16T22:27:24.920+01:002010-06-16T22:27:24.920+01:00it sounds delicious, i would love to spray some on...it sounds delicious, i would love to spray some on and be reminded of the Mediterranean at dusk. regarding Mitsouko i am happy to have discovered it thanks to you-and squirted it on myself whilst running from your home to one of my family events. i love your perfume write-ups and adore your writing. x shaymaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316092310251306421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360091480233165032.post-64743324728287257892010-06-16T21:57:48.734+01:002010-06-16T21:57:48.734+01:00Frangipani sounds gorgeous!

For some time I thought Caron's Acaciosa could be the ONE, then again L'artisan's Dzonghka. And then "I met" the scents of Ormond Jayne : I knew Ta'if is the ONE.

I am always looking for "The One" in perfume but maybe I need to lower my expectations and go with what suits me at the time.. I am currently flirting with Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger Lily and L'Artisan Parfumeur Mure and Musc, but there are so many more I would love. Mrs T, is it morally wrong to siphon money from the housekeeping to fund a perfume habit??Blightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567627987700387034noreply@blogger.com
