Well, yes, they were not wildly popular, although CdM was a gateway Lutens I guess, which makes it a bit of a bummer. Then again I doubt SN is going to sell very much either. I don't know what that might mean. The line is quite vast by now, so will it mean that the scents will be "stremlines" at some point?
