She has a huge following by word of mouth, there is no need for spasmodic moves.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-51869530559015237872010-05-01T20:56:21.804+01:002010-05-01T20:56:21.804+01:00Nictobliz,

I love that she's not desperate to create a new fragrance right away, because I agree that her line is beautiful and feels completeProximityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673050454435116732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-77487150494683935912010-04-29T14:54:38.738+01:002010-04-29T14:54:38.738+01:00No reformulations or discontinuations, huh?

I live in a constant panice of discontinuations/reformulations in the past two years (when it became undoubtable that there was no turning back for the industry) so this is a great relief. <br />I can certainly sympathise with you. You should get the sampler set, it's a great way to get to know the scents and it's generously sized too.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-57917649686974493402010-04-28T20:37:32.547+01:002010-04-28T20:37:32.547+01:00Brad,

There's not one perfume in my collection that I can _count_ on being able to repurchase. Knowing that I could repurchase any Ormonde Jayne perfume inspires me to send off for all the samples and find some favorites.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-81325542924008244562010-04-27T17:02:14.964+01:002010-04-27T17:02:14.964+01:00Amazing insights into the philosophy of a truly ni...Amazing insights into the philosophy of a truly niche brand.

I can't comment on the allergies/lawsuits/IFRA thing because I'll start foaming at the mouth in a blind fury... so instead I'll say WOW we make up 60% of their purchases in the US?!?! And that makes me wish even harder that the scents were easier to sample and buy over here... I hope they work out their US deal.Marchhttp://www.perfumeposse.comnoreply@blogger.com
