Interesting how tastes and moods change, isn't it.

It sounds like The Vault is for me! Rumi, Prowl, City Rain and Midnight Forest all sound so intriguing, and Dark Earth too! <br /><br />So sorry I'm such a Qwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283489032029545283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-8883513195139734462009-06-05T09:04:14.642+01:002009-06-05T09:04:14.642+01:00M,

I do like the AL!<br /><br />I think Neil has a good hand in mixing patchouli, his patchoulis are very smooth, silky and quite gourmand (like MD).Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-34969633919239941452009-06-05T08:59:05.597+01:002009-06-05T08:59:05.597+01:00M,

You do a fine job over at BN in creating buzz and desires to sample, though!<br />These newest Vaults gave me the opportunity to address the topic and since they're new I am providing (hopefully) non-tired material. <br /><br />Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-85999197204633062792009-06-05T08:55:15.165+01:002009-06-05T08:55:15.165+01:00Oh L,

I try my best, but don't know if I succeed. <br />NM is very niche, people in this community know him, but he's not the same as Dior.

It's not for the timid, but ideal for anyone who can pull off a sexy, mature floral. <br /><br />I actually found Midnight Forest rather sweet, though not at all sugary or cloying. It's a close cousin to Moss Breches and Ava Luxe Moss. <br /><br />Mystic Dragon does seem like a real crowd-pleaser, but it was too chocolate-y for BitterGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262639525430954930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-14897580280345708122009-06-04T23:01:04.068+01:002009-06-04T23:01:04.068+01:00Two of the vault scents I love (not mentioned) are...Two of the vault scents I love (not mentioned) are Burnt Amber & Dark Earth.
