This doesn't pose many problems for modern formulae, where the effect can be rendered through a scope of solutions (a little natural oakmoss, with added tree moss, oakmoss synthetics or all three), it's mostly a problem for old Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-92095172079241211002011-11-07T19:05:21.751+00:002011-11-07T19:05:21.751+00:00I am very interested in testing this one.
