Magie Noire is one of my favorites. The older version is amazing but the newer version is pretty great too.<br /><br />I like a good fruity floral but it does start to feel a little too fruity and a little too floral out there after a while.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-8967877361005424452012-08-22T03:18:58.209-04:002012-08-22T03:18:58.209-04:00So true.

I'm from the fruity-floral generation, and can't stand the dreck that gets pushed in my face every time I enter a store.<br /><br />I hear Lancome used to produce decent scents that could actually hold your attention, but all I know of them now is Emma Watson and purple fruit juice scents.

I just keep a look out for the films that play on our pay TV channel here in Aus, and coincidentally, just saw Evil Under The Sun a couple of days ago. <br />I just googled Peter Ustinov and I haven't seen any with him as Poirot, the ones I've seen here star David Suchet and appear to be made for Television.

The more superheroes crammed into the plot the more of a potential hot mess. I did think it had it's moments. I always love it though when characters from different movies join under the roof of one narrative, if only for simple kicks.<br /><br />Not all of the Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293853110472146382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-15551926564229772372012-08-16T11:13:09.611-04:002012-08-16T11:13:09.611-04:00RM, which movies?

I even had an Agatha Christie glossary, which included entries about her characters, books, plots, motifs, and biographical background.<br /><br />Whenever a movie came out I would go see it. I remember Evil Under the Sun, particularly.

I haven't seen any of the Transformer films and I'm glad - that one sounded craptacular.<br />So true about the comparisons between mainstream perfumes and mainstream blockbuster films, they can get (not all of them, but most) so tiresome and contrived. Like you with Cheers, I've been on a bit of an Agatha Christie movie bender lately, which I'm really enjoying while RMnoreply@blogger.com
