I hear he's got several mods in his archives, waiting to be brought out. <br />I agree that too many releases sort of confuse the game and eventually tire the consumer, though.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-569184775588381642011-11-14T15:07:29.949+00:002011-11-14T15:07:29.949+00:00It seems like Serge Lutens is creating too many pe...It seems like Serge Lutens is creating too many perfumes too quickly.
