I actually prefer it to Joy on a warm day. It's a bit more sparkly and aldehydic, particularly in the edt. I like to layer the edt and the parfum together.melisand61https://www.blogger.com/profile/12802652658028346558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-20328905184249019322009-03-17T22:50:00.000+00:002009-03-17T22:50:00.000+00:00I'm a day late responding to your wonderful post -...I'm a day late responding to your wonderful post - so deliciously descriptive - and quite possibly the inspiration I needed to go ahead and splurge on a big bottle of Carnal Flower.<BR/><BR/>It's been "spring" here in Southern California for quite some time....in fact it's either "spring-like" or "too hot" most of the year, so seasonal scents are much more likely to be in conjunction with a Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-67761623622414958432009-03-17T12:17:00.000+00:002009-03-17T12:17:00.000+00:00lovely pictures of flowering trees! :) And nice to...lovely pictures of flowering trees! :) And nice to know that spring is advancing to the north; even if today I sit here in the midst of a very unpleasant snow storm, the snow is slowly melting here by the seaside.. :)<BR/>Have barely begun thinking of spring scents & flowers yet, but have had an urge towards my Paris nuit de fete. and wore Pamplelune on SundayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-75181521584327298132009-03-17T09:44:00.000+00:002009-03-17T09:44:00.000+00:00Lovely article dear E!
