I normally rum from musk, but this musk is pretty, and is probably what gave it great longetivity on my skin. Musk will stay at least a full 24 hours on me, often longer.<br /><br />Still trying to fin the older Caron!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13269514501438639682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-5193204871626510432009-06-15T05:42:22.897-04:002009-06-15T05:42:22.897-04:00well, you know what they say about opinions.
I sa...well, you know what they say about opinions.<br /><br />I say it,anyway.<br /><br />I smelled Unicorn Spell just the other day, sprayed it on a piece of paper and enjoyed it all afternoon. It smells wonderful. Bracing and strangely resinous somehow, though cooler than it is warm. I wonder how long it lasts. On paper it was great. On skin...?<br /><br />Violetta, for me, is wonderful.

It's the most recent violet scent I have come across, and so am very curious as to what you think!<br /><br />-monikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-65384591399225912102009-05-28T20:04:34.715-04:002009-05-28T20:04:34.715-04:00Aimee L'Ondee...(wags finger) I nearly had to accu...Aimee L'Ondee...(wags finger) I nearly had to accuse you of not reading the post!

The AG violet leans toward L'Artisan Verte Violette in style, but has better longevity and it's more straight forward and less fluffy. <br /><br />Tammy, if you can, do your best to find the Caron violet from *before* their most recent reformulation. It's the one that's in the same box and Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164551758520564300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-60405247305512806082009-05-24T22:44:04.280-04:002009-05-24T22:44:04.280-04:00Adore the L'Artisan violette, too!

It's one of the few L'Artisan's that has impressive staying power on me. That silly chemistry thing, huh?<br /><br />~TrishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
