I live in Boston and an old friend got me into perfumes - but then she moved to Prague and now I'm left sniffing at things alone. My grandmother wore Halston and I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one who loves it to death. Sad to hear it's changed.<br /><br />Anyway, A.M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16405637371377714065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-24887032010989213742010-09-25T12:26:46.214-04:002010-09-25T12:26:46.214-04:00"The original Halston remains one of my favor..."The original Halston remains one of my favorite Bernard Chant creations.

They both know what they are talking about... or almost. Lately, I asked one SA if he had Métal by Paco Rabanne and he said I was wasting my time trying to look for it. Less than a city block away, I found it at a discount perfumer.

I also own Gold and Penhaligon's Lily & Spice and a goodly decant of Lys Med.

I like him a lot, he's definitely not overly pushy. Last time I was in there he basically dissuaded me from buying anything because he kept smelling my arm and saying things we're "quite right."

While the consultant they had on staff didn't cop to certain obvious truths, he was at least informed, and took his time talking rather than selling. It did annoy me a bit when, spraying Gris Clair on me, he remarked, "Women love this stuff on guys," because clearly he was gay and even if he hadn't seen the Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-69166596494726829182010-09-02T12:47:25.602-04:002010-09-02T12:47:25.602-04:00Elissa!
