It smells exactly--and i mean exactly!-- like Giorgio, one of the best-loved fragrances from the 1980's, but even better, because it lacks Giorgio's overpowering strength.

I learned English from her records - that is, after the Beatles and the Rollings and right before Sinatra period :) She was great at the time, and she sounds (and looks) so differently now.

What a try-hard that Keira ad was...and for no reason, really. <br />This one is actually quite classy in its setting/art-direction (they could have showed nipple but they didn't, good on them). I would have preferred it if they had opted for such an approach for something that was more ambitious as a scent, but one can't have it all I guess Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-53070606704221800572009-08-22T10:24:00.868+01:002009-08-22T10:24:00.868+01:00Helg I agree its been photoshopped but it is alot ...Helg I agree its been photoshopped but it is alot better than that shocker chanel with that "try hard" Keira and that sad breast thing - just go topless and be done with it why don't ya!
