A monegal is always worth smelling, though the note description seems a scary mishmash. (though at least it's honest in listing the synthetics).
ReplyDeleteThe Neiman Marcus woman is a wealthy suburban woman who wears tailleurs and is on a first name basis with her cosmetic surgeon, so I'm curious to see how this translates into a perfume.

Cacio, that's a perfect description :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe the synthetics are listed because they help with preservation (of the scent or the woman)?

ReplyDeleteha, that description is hilarious.
I like the RM line but this kind of exclusive leaves me a bit cold. I don't know...haven't tried it.
