We have so many local made brands though. <br /><br />The gels and washes are so very often scented with fruity scents, which is a total turn off for me personally. But I do like the classic Italian Felce Azzure washes.They smell of powder, juniper and musk Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-41246499419960010152015-10-08T08:31:29.227+01:002015-10-08T08:31:29.227+01:00How very interesting!!!

They're quite light, though not watery really (apart from watery meaning "diluted" which is alas true for multiple brands due to the allergens threshold necessitating it). <br /><br />Russia is suffering from post-communism consumerism; everything deprived of is becoming Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-82782570292555814322015-10-08T08:28:05.131+01:002015-10-08T08:28:05.131+01:00They do have a wonderfully intellectualized view o...They do have a wonderfully intellectualized view of perfumery (JCE especially), it makes for thought-provoking reading indeed.

The sense of smell and the ability to love someone go hand in hand when you first find yourself attracted to a person. <br />I also recall the smell of my grandparents' house, a place I loved to be. I haven't been there since 1978, however the smell remains with me to this day.<br />love, jeanJean Katherine Baldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497992193034414806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-54139408438257912292015-10-06T03:44:12.702+01:002015-10-06T03:44:12.702+01:00Also, I couldn't agree more regarding how one ...Also, I couldn't agree more regarding how one must love how a person smells in order to love him/her. The sense of smell is undervalued by most people, but it is one of the most important senses. A whiff of something can bring back memories of years ago.
