Though I have to say you can buy empty bottles (sometimes easier on the wallet) and refill them for your use with a nice big decant bought at an online decanter. That should satisfy the craving of form and content being held together at a more advantageous price?? <br /><br />Just a suggestion. ;-)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-30707112053833217132013-05-31T09:05:43.824+01:002013-05-31T09:05:43.824+01:00M,
