I should think it wouldn't be too hard to grab a tester of that and spray along to see. <br /><br />I think from what you say that it's the frangipani rather than jasmine sambac/tropical ambience you're reacting positively to. So amend my rec into saying you'd probably enjoy the Chantecaille more than Child. <br />It's not always easy to segment Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-17805636743743960542011-03-12T10:13:55.180+00:002011-03-12T10:13:55.180+00:00Hi thanks for your suggestions.

The creams are so fragrant they linger on skin for a long time, but give a discreet scent that doesn't trail really. <br />I needPerfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-45016645489964544402011-03-09T18:10:37.719+00:002011-03-09T18:10:37.719+00:00Dawn,

The Goutal line despite its "broader" appeal thanks to distribution has a solid, quality-built base and a great perfumer at the helm. It's not surprising that they have a two-tier system for their fragrances, this can be seen in the Netherlands boutique by ms.Tio: the annickgoutal.nl site, I mean.

I first experienced Songes in the bath gel, and the body cream. It smells ecdent and fresh and tropical and lush, and the cream itself is a perfect product for moisturizing the skin. I only recently smelled the EDP and EDT, and while they are both perfectly lovely I think that the body cream is the perfect medium to scentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-79778711488487318302011-03-09T16:58:54.564+00:002011-03-09T16:58:54.564+00:00La Bise La Bise! :)

Interestingly, it is one of the few heady white florals I enjoy--in fact, I adore it. Furthermore, I find it somewhat interesting that it is a big white something that plays well in winter or in summer's heat, and is worth experiencing in both conditions. <br /><br />I'm starting to formulate the opinionScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-21994151240193053222011-03-09T14:48:38.872+00:002011-03-09T14:48:38.872+00:00Well, I'll be darned if we are not on the same...Well, I'll be darned if we are not on the same wave length?
