He had a proper bath, not a hot tub, on elevated decking at the front of his house. It was magnificent. You didn't need any products for that bath, it already smelt of the woods..Sarah Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225799091497587153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328195413175627899.post-7391697014214909062014-06-02T15:36:55.157-07:002014-06-02T15:36:55.157-07:00I have a tricky relationship with both lilac and L...I have a tricky relationship with both lilac and LOTV in perfume, though I always stop to stick my nose in either if I see the flowers in nature - which is lilac, predominantly, on my street in fact. I blow hot and cold about En Passant and sometimes it feels quite strong and in your face despite its watery, after the rain facet. And like Undina, the Caron has passed me by altogether so far, but I am liking the idea of an outside inside bath. Bathrooms being very much a current preoccupation of mine, hehe. ;_Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328195413175627899.post-44267554535354137782014-06-01T09:08:33.327-07:002014-06-01T09:08:33.327-07:00Hi Undina, yes, the cucumber and bread notes would...Hi Undina, yes, the cucumber and bread notes would not make me dribble with joy but I do love this scent! A colleague wears some truly awful cucumber fragrance from Bliss, eating them is a great pleasure, wearing them, no..<br />Did you read about the proposed banning of (I think it's called) HSS? It's he synthetic material that constitutes much of the lily of the valley note. Worrying.

These two suffer for the same reason: there are no natural "implementations" for them, all lilacs and LotVs, even the most expensive ones (Guerlain, I'm looking at you) are either synthetically made or recreated using other flowers.<br />I haven't tried Caron's perfume (I will when I get a chance). En Passant is nice but cucumber and bread are killing it for me.Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.com
