It's no wonder people are mixed up.

I was confused yesterday over at POL with having two Guerlain fragrances with the number 68 in the name. <BR/><BR/>I have smelled the Cologne du 68 and I like it. For a cologne, it was considerably long lasting on my skin. It's a good everyday kind of scent or rather like a perfume sorbet. <BR/><BR/>And the value is good at $100.00 for 3.4 fl. oz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-39075190722910844332009-01-13T16:52:00.000+00:002009-01-13T16:52:00.000+00:00J,nah....there are many crazy stories.

So the original no 68 sounds so beautiful, sigh. Anyway, I have sniffed this new version and did like it. It requires further testing as I think it would suit the coming seasons. donanicolaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
