The standard remedy for that here is lavender bags (I guess that works as I haven't really been seeing moths around for ages now).<br /><br />If you did a U-turn on Bois Vanille, does thatn mean our tastes are slowly finding more common ground? ;)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-16957927854166379862012-01-30T06:11:41.134+01:002012-01-30T06:11:41.134+01:00I was thinking the same as Katie when I read your ...I was thinking the same as Katie when I read your list.

I have just done a U-turn on Un Bois Vanille so can see why you are drawn to it at this time of year.<br /><br />I have two cashmere jumpers that are staples of my wardrobe. One camel, one beige, which was a bit silly looking back. The moths got at them sadly and a friend has kindly darned the holes. They are useable again, but just as pottering round the house sweaters, so I would advise you to keep the moths at bay as best you can. Tubereuse Criminelle-scented moth balls, maybe?Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-44534669974288142872012-01-29T12:23:29.390+01:002012-01-29T12:23:29.390+01:00Dear E, thank you for the merino wool tip!

That might work well as a cashmere substition (at least until I win the lottery). :)<br /><br />I ought to have a sample of Botrytis somewhere, I really need to smell it again as it keeps getting mentioned as a great boozy fragrance.

loved reading your thoughts.
I like Un Crime ...I,<br /><br />loved reading your thoughts. <br />I like Un Crime Exotique a lot as well!<br /><br />Cashmere is wonderful and quite lightweight; a significant concern for me as I don't like bulky sweats at all and have no use for them. For something very smooth and less expensive (though not cheap), you can try a fine merino wool of multiple ply knit. I bet thouse won't be itchy on your skin. <br /><br />Love boozy fragrances, Botytris is also great if you haven't tried it!Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-29905278782349668052012-01-28T11:40:44.415+01:002012-01-28T11:40:44.415+01:00He, he, Katie, sure, I wouldn't say no to some...He, he, Katie, sure, I wouldn't say no to some more vanilla. :)<br />Incredible as it might sound, Havana Vanille was too much for me that one time I tried it. <br />But as I keep hearing good things about it, I'll give it another go. You never know, it might work this time. ;)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-64236163263322400102012-01-28T11:38:51.404+01:002012-01-28T11:38:51.404+01:00Suzanne, here I come! :)

It gets so hot here in the summer that I steer clear of anything even remotely sweet and warm (and that's what vanilla reminds me of).Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-4859897357252491992012-01-28T11:33:49.292+01:002012-01-28T11:33:49.292+01:00Abigail, I was lucky to receive a sample of 1697 b...Abigail, I was lucky to receive a sample of 1697 but it got lost among many other samples and now I have to find it to remind myself what it smells like. :)<br />Although, in my mind, Frapin can do no wrong, I like all of their perfumes (Caravelle Epicee topping the list). :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-60503842306542970382012-01-28T07:28:15.875+01:002012-01-28T07:28:15.875+01:00Have some vanilla with your vanilla, Ines?
