Or is this wishful thinking and they capitulated to the maxim that there should be two scents, one feminine, one masculine as usual? *evil smile*<brPerfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-81201254864322977412011-06-22T13:49:26.685+01:002011-06-22T13:49:26.685+01:00Eldarwen,

On the whole credible work and more than decent budget in the majority of releases. <br />Amouage Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-91400572621451533572011-06-22T13:45:50.960+01:002011-06-22T13:45:50.960+01:00M,

How good could that be?? <br /><br />Then again, most of them as you say are quite good, even if familiar in skeleton, as mentioned in the Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-71891643825202760362011-06-22T13:41:06.304+01:002011-06-22T13:41:06.304+01:00Chris,

Are you among them?

I find it a little inappropriate to have a "man" version, as all the men in the opera behave in a rather dishonorable way (well, perhaps it's the memory of the father). And where is the verveine? (Madama Butterfly says that Pinkerton called her "verveine scent").<br /><br />As caciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902017914305322799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-6951483697743071592011-06-22T04:13:26.121+01:002011-06-22T04:13:26.121+01:00Something new from Amouage?

And it is a pity for my bank account.
