Wow, it must have felt wonderful to share this with the bride, how thoughtful. Yes, it's a lovely scent for a wedding because though romantic it's not cloying or too expected. It's fresh and youthful but not boring.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-29207321578845197642011-04-29T15:32:38.252+01:002011-04-29T15:32:38.252+01:00This is incredibly late, but I just wanted to say,...This is incredibly late, but I just wanted to say, nonetheless, that I absolutely love this fragrance. Actually, I brought a decant to a wedding in which I was a bridesmaid, and the bride loved it so much that I let her borow my decant to wear on the wedding day (and wore something else myself!). Afterwards, I bought her a bottle of her own.<br />(Oh for the days when I could afford perfume!!)<brProximityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673050454435116732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-40110028057988804692011-04-27T19:21:06.716+01:002011-04-27T19:21:06.716+01:00RH,

It's such a simpatico to the weather and the surroundings fragrance (since I'm in the Med indeed) that I quickly went through a 50ml bottle before that time elapsed. But I will take note next time for sure!<br />There are some fragrances that "turn" after a while indeed, in Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-2638278517579253802011-04-27T19:18:10.067+01:002011-04-27T19:18:10.067+01:00Jennifer,

It does not move me emotionally the way certain others of the Malle line do (Carnal Flower, Iris Poudre), and I'm quite happy with my $10 bottle of DK Gold - but should a bottle of LM fall from the sky I'd be overjoyed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-39720274433150200652011-04-22T13:14:14.600+01:002011-04-22T13:14:14.600+01:00I so agree - a charming lily fragrance that doesn&...I so agree - a charming lily fragrance that doesn't turn cloying.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536711523255244300noreply@blogger.com
