Perfume buyer's remorse feels awful, like a combination of guilt, shame and loss of identity. Perhaps it's not quite that dramatic for everyone, but those feelings have hit me.<br /><br />I'm happy to hear Lipstick Rose has made it to the front of your cabinet!JoanElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356174815156243516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671510644628830689.post-37238119824492284902011-02-11T19:26:35.908-08:002011-02-11T19:26:35.908-08:00I think I'm doing something similar...right no...I think I'm doing something similar...right now into amber and spice but coming around the bend and back toward floral, esp violet and rose...what amber/spice fumes did you really like at the time?~elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278027484318326821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671510644628830689.post-36607352085198625632011-02-11T17:34:15.702-08:002011-02-11T17:34:15.702-08:00Hi Olenska!

You beat NowSmellThis to this by one day! :) I was having a conversation about this scent w/ a coworker this week, trying to explain to her how curiously edible I always found the scent of lipstick to be, and how perfectly it matched the soft, lip-like texture of rose petals. The two belong together. :)olenskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476948850792084856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671510644628830689.post-71785227851072705372011-02-11T11:45:55.511-08:002011-02-11T11:45:55.511-08:00Hi Olfactoria: I love Malle too!

I enjoyed it a lot! I also do not seek out perfumes that are predominant on rose and violet, but this one seemed to have found me.<br /><br />I am not sure I can live up to its obvious glamour though! I can definitely see it going well with pearls, little black dress, and Chanel red lipstick, and I have none of the above!a.k.a.
