Which is good for quiet seduction. Courtesan is more in line with making guys lose focus and follow you around wherever you go.<br /><br /><br />How did I end up in Courtesan?! :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-83024090334504988162011-10-27T21:49:15.691+02:002011-10-27T21:49:15.691+02:00I haven't swapped a bit of it!

Seems like everything is now at least $7-8/ml, and many higher. These prices have caused me to stop ordering samples from them.

I dithered for months (years?) over Velvet Gardenia, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much -- especially for a perfume that only achieved its full potential roughly one out of three wearings. It was something of a relief when it finally went out of production. <br /><br />But I still think about it. Often.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-36015176407400889352011-10-23T00:13:02.018+02:002011-10-23T00:13:02.018+02:00I agree, this pricepoint makes it a tough one to s...I agree, this pricepoint makes it a tough one to swallow.

So, it's a strong candidate for a split (the next size is even better priced per ml but it's a HUGE bottle). I'll let you know if I come across the split and you do the same, please.Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.com
