But it's been done to death since and the flankers weren't distinctive. <br />Have you tried Jasmine White Moss by EL?

Is it because we're conditionned as little girls to equate pink with feminine and cute? Orange is thankfully left free of any such associations. I should suggest that it's to the detriment of anyone who doesn't want to be perceived as "cute" (and I bet there are many) that almost all modern scents Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-29634418474416254992011-02-07T15:40:34.318+00:002011-02-07T15:40:34.318+00:00I used to love Estee Lauder's original Pleasur...I used to love Estee Lauder's original Pleasures and wore it quite often in High school. But moved away from it shortly after I graduated because I got sick of it. I still engoy it from time to time. I think that Estee Lauder has run out of ideas to make a really great perfume. I think that niche perfumes and reading perfume blogs have ruined my bank account and I.Eldarwen22https://www.blogger.com/profile/15592297508456509382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-8883761675764574032011-02-07T15:21:33.301+00:002011-02-07T15:21:33.301+00:00agreed- yellow would be lovely!

I much prefer this bright shocking pink shade to the pastel ones that look wimpy and anemic nevertheless. <br /><br />Now, imagine if it was put in a bright yellow bottle!
