Much as the citruses and tart frags are enjoyable in summer they evaporate much too quickly. <br /><br />I should make it a point to try the Cedrat by Nicolai. I only had experience with the Guerlain (which is fleeting for my taste).

I wouldn't classify it as cool, yet it has that biting flash of absinthe and anise that cuts through the sweeter notes and sends a little shiver through me. I can't imagine wearing it in warm weather, but the contrasts between the sweet, gourmand-like notes and the bitter-cool astringent notes are great for the winter.melisand61https://www.blogger.com/profile/12802652658028346558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-35526833112812118992012-12-17T20:31:27.693+00:002012-12-17T20:31:27.693+00:00I love winter (actually, I wish it lasted all year...I love winter (actually, I wish it lasted all year long), and I love wearing perfumes which rhyme with the scent of snow and frost.

But long ago, my mother actually taught me, how to use the eyelashes for exactly that purposeStephannoreply@blogger.com
