While Opal disappears on me after a while due to musk anosmia, the opening is very lovely and light warm (non gourmand) vanilla. It is often tempting for me to have some anyway as I enjoy it so much while it lasts! But I love love love SSS fragrances anyway!

Opal was very similar on me to Profumum Alba, which I already have. As for the comparison to SL Bois et Fruits, I have to say it is very well done - I haven't compared them side by side but I was impressed when I sniffed it at how well-rounded and rich it Tara Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-1708196109992797072009-11-16T22:26:33.035-05:002009-11-16T22:26:33.035-05:00Hi Abigale,

Happily for me, it is my favorite among all the SSS fragrances that I love. It's a delicious, deep vintage liquor that's aged in the cask along with tons of dried rose petals. I hope you will find the beauty in it to love.AnnYMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-38956387868693053492009-11-16T15:29:59.107-05:002009-11-16T15:29:59.107-05:00Tania,

When I've worn SL BdV I've often thought "why didn't I simply store my sweater in that cedar lined trunk I have?"Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164551758520564300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-65309201360742854792009-11-16T12:41:12.081-05:002009-11-16T12:41:12.081-05:00Laurie Erickson is a very talented perfumer, and a...Laurie Erickson is a very talented perfumer, and a really nice person to boot. I ADORE Velvet Rose (the rosiest rose EVER) and got hundreds of compliments when I dashed all over London wearing Lieu de Reves.

I'd love to see her brand thrive as more people start to realize that the quality and creativity of SSS far outstrips its modest price point.<br /><br />You've got me all curious about Femme Jolie, even though it has "femme" in the title.

I've sampled Vintage Rose, Velvet Rose, and Wood Violet; although I can appreciate that they are well-done, they're not me. As for Femme Jolie, the problem with me & woods fragrances is that I start smelling like a cedar closet, with a few mothballs thrown in for good measure (Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-4982891552424057662009-11-13T09:52:10.639-05:002009-11-13T09:52:10.639-05:00Well, dang it... yet another SSS to lemm.
