I guess you noticed I've been away again, nowhere too far ; ) <br /><br />Gosh I hope the contents of that bottle will be ironic as you imagine, what fun! <br /><br />A Taste of Heaven is a wonderful twist on Lavender, which has really gotten me into it!

As with all notes, it can go in many interesting directions. The fragrances I love with a "pine" feeling are Yatagan and Zagorsk, so it is difficult to imagine a feminine type of pine. I think we had a comment chat once about the resinous quality of Retsina which is quite nice.
