It was surprisingly good!

I have seen/heard many live broadcasts but obviously it's not the same without the chandeliers!<br /><br />So glad you enjoy my humble post on Samsara! The funny thing is that I should have written a few more fragrance reviews for Perfume Shrine, since I've also promised Elena Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-18971641544190026372012-03-20T14:54:04.856+00:002012-03-20T14:54:04.856+00:00Oh, I very much agree on the possibilities of that...Oh, I very much agree on the possibilities of that combination!<br /><br />And if you love the chandelier, then I hope you have seen or will be able to come and see them in person.

You're most welcome and yes, that green-hyacinth-cassis-jasmine-rose opening could have been modified so beautifully into a modern Guerlain creation: and it scratches my head for years as to why it's now largely ignored by the LVMH ownership. Three words: so many possibilities!

I have worn it since 1969, when I was 17, and spent some of my student grant on buying it! I don't think it smells the same now (and I am pretty sure it's not just my nose getting old), but it is still a wonderful thing to wear. It's been so interesting reading about it in such depth.<br />JillieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-58693281226371403652012-03-16T15:23:09.517+00:002012-03-16T15:23:09.517+00:00A fifth part, no less!
