So i wore it, and could not quite live up to it-it was so chic and so french!

There's some sense behind this as it had become confusing up to a point (see Les Orientalistes, 4 identical bottles but for the names). <br /><br />Funny though, many people state the old Goutal bottles among their favorite designs (I did like the men's versions very much myself, Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-29920524954912648012013-03-25T20:55:48.338+00:002013-03-25T20:55:48.338+00:00In the nose,
