It's gourmand in a different way, with tangy tamarind fruit playing against spicy-sweet paprika. for some reason this juxtaposition just says "holiday" to me, and I love it.Florahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510346346502906435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-20305853471059896202010-12-13T17:37:15.025-05:002010-12-13T17:37:15.025-05:00I have yet to try Alahine, but a sample of it is w...I have yet to try Alahine, but a sample of it is wining it's way to me now. It sounds right up my alley.<br />It's so hard to come up with a perfume to wear around people who don't like perfume. I treasure my collection of samples and small decants, genuinely experiencing every one as a revelation, and all they see is a haphazard accumulation of chemical dreck. <br />I don't get Veroushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315290153941307885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-64164860628980773042010-12-13T10:48:18.468-05:002010-12-13T10:48:18.468-05:00Oh, and enjoy the Biltmore!Oh, and enjoy the Biltmore!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-14117389536117076852010-12-13T10:47:26.194-05:002010-12-13T10:47:26.194-05:00Alahine is so joyful, so like golden bells ringing...Alahine is so joyful, so like golden bells ringing, that I think I'll wear it again this Christmas. Too, it reminds me strongly of the madrigal dinners we put on in college - such happy memories, and so Christmassy.<br /><br />DSH Festive is really nice! I just also nabbed a sample of her Epices d'Hiver, so might try that one for a holiday celebration (will be getting together with my Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-51463835633344387112010-12-13T08:55:25.750-05:002010-12-13T08:55:25.750-05:00Attrape Coeur!Attrape Coeur!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001466492578674627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-15445274418448941172010-12-13T07:49:15.367-05:002010-12-13T07:49:15.367-05:00I'm thinking Clinique Wrappings, perhaps with ...I'm thinking Clinique Wrappings, perhaps with Attrape Coeur on the side.

Not sure what else yet -- I have some flexibility since I'm going to El Paso and even in December, it often gets up to the 60s during the day. You have me very curious about JM Pomegranate Noir although I normally just avoid that line entirely.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270808520581466353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-53747745718053053212010-12-12T10:14:40.777-05:002010-12-12T10:14:40.777-05:00I love Pom Noir and Mahjoun, but I haven't tri...I love Pom Noir and Mahjoun, but I haven't tried the other ones. I've been overdosing on my sample of DSH Festive lately with its fir, spruce, and incense notes. Guerlain Winter Delice and SL Rousse are in rotation a lot lately too as I can be pretty literal with wanting to project holiday smells. It's been unusually cold here in NC, but it could easily be in the 70s on Christmas, andKathyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581414896556155588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-46363788874885639402010-12-12T06:39:30.798-05:002010-12-12T06:39:30.798-05:00I was going to suggest DSH PIment et Chocolat as I...I was going to suggest DSH PIment et Chocolat as I'll be wearing that around Christmas and probably Festive. <br />This is pretty much it since taking into account anything with serious sillage and chemical is out of the question.Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-63883535754162942512010-12-12T02:26:55.012-05:002010-12-12T02:26:55.012-05:00L'Hiver is gorgeous and couldn't offend an...L'Hiver is gorgeous and couldn't offend anyone .
