I really, really want to get into this, but can only seem to admire it and have fun with it. Great date; no relationship potential seen. Yet. ;)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-79479219819449324922009-01-09T02:58:00.000-06:002009-01-09T02:58:00.000-06:00Have been struggling with internet access this wee...Have been struggling with internet access this week! Jenavira and Scentscelf I have tried the new John Galliano, albeit in a scent hall and just one spritz so not a proper test. I was very dissapointed, it is nothing like his Diptyque candle. I think he is a genius but the scent... not so much...Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-7049530001142455332009-01-06T15:32:00.000-06:002009-01-06T15:32:00.000-06:00Musette,Indeed I do know your love of Violets &...Musette,<BR/>Indeed I do know your love of Violets & Rainwater! Am busy stalking a couple of other violets right now...report to come in about a week... ;)<BR/><BR/>Good thing I'm only a conceptual sucker for packaging. Honestly, I get really annoyed that most interesting bottles are not, as it turns out, good for displaying the goods.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-36098998685160427152009-01-06T15:04:00.000-06:002009-01-06T15:04:00.000-06:00Nathan,No, the only thing black of Tom Ford's ...Nathan,<BR/>No, the only thing black of Tom Ford's I have tried is the orchid. As I recall, that was...peculiar; partially because it was not the dark & stormy I was expecting.<BR/><BR/>Mossy & green are happy places for me, as are woods & warm; sounds like I need to hunt some down and give BV a whirl.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-43425232959915271552009-01-05T21:35:00.000-06:002009-01-05T21:35:00.000-06:00You know my intense love for Violets and Rainwater...You know my intense love for Violets and Rainwater - let's see how this stacks up.

But I'm having fun in my search. :)<BR/><BR/>To be fair, I don't dislike the skank in this one (and we all know I am not inclined to like skank AT ALL); it's clearly dancing around in there, though. It's certainly worth a few whirls around the dance floor.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'm sticking with basic violet when I feel the need...like the Norma Kamali I wrote about a couple of months ago...Liz Zorn Violets & Rainwater...and Sonoma Scent Studio Wood Violet, which to me is really nicely done. (But I'll be writing more about SSS in the future...)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82847041806026347.post-56487259508448096422009-01-04T11:56:00.000-06:002009-01-04T11:56:00.000-06:00Hello- I madly want to try this.

I'm not sure why except that I love the strangeness of CDG's stuff and them doing a violet is very exciting. <BR/>I have never found my violet scent. I like Penhaligon's bath violet bath oil but think it's too sweet for a perfume. This sounds dirtier, although the skank could be too much.<BR/>Interesting indeed!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.com
