I don't remember where I read this, but someone commented that the white bottle contained the "better version", whatever that is. But I never see the white bottle anywhere.

...right, ...Paloma through the girls of You Tube...<br />...right, shouldn't try. Let them. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I'll just burble the typical "Oh, I love that one too!" kind of stuff. I just picked up a lot (as in auction lot) of four minis. Because I'm cheap? Well, yes...but also because Paloma is something I recently put on to allow me to be a "goddess underneath practicalScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-60938862723937382262011-01-12T11:22:12.434-05:002011-01-12T11:22:12.434-05:00Ah, man, I used to live for this - and a few other...Ah, man, I used to live for this - and a few other showstoppers - back in the Eighties, before I supposedly acquired something akin to adult "restraint". (Still working on that one!) And you're absolutely right, Brian, there was something slightly oddball and, well, strange about it - which could well be why I loved it so much. <br /><br />Not exactly Ms. Conformity, not even then,tarleisiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891545310811763453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-28246469718766371982011-01-12T03:15:04.760-05:002011-01-12T03:15:04.760-05:00Head in drawer of minis.

I have tried it numerous times accompanied by everything short of hypnotism and I'll be damned if it doesn't smell like a freshly ridden horse on my skin. <br /><br />Actually, I always hold out hope during the top notes, which I enjoy.

It was one ounce. I ultimately took it back. It all depends with me. Sometimes I prefer the reformulation. You're not supposed to say that. But the diffusion improves sometimes I think. I can't think of an example off the top of my head, of course. Where's the head when you need it?

It's one of those cases where perfume snobs with unlimited access to vintage stock condemn the current version as "worthless drugstore trash" but it's actually great. People say the same thing about the current version of Montana Parfum de Peau, which I think is incredible.FruitDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218081671292556771noreply@blogger.com
