Those favourites of yours certainly do, at any rate. (Farouche is such a lovely thing!)<br /><br />The perfumes of today in general exhibit all they have to offer in the first 10 minutes so there's no intrigue to explore further.

Hilarious about the pronounciation thing and the powder on the floor.
