The AA's are my happy playlist, too! :)<br />xoxojensunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041130248100842593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-23346082701614388242011-03-04T05:42:56.611-08:002011-03-04T05:42:56.611-08:00Angela, I think I love them, too.

I like Philosykos, but (so far) I don't *love* it. Waiting to see if warmer weather changes my mind!<br /><br />The AA's seem to have appeal to the masses, but a lot of perfumistas seem lukewarm in them as a whole. I like the brevity, straightforwardness, and bright burst at the beginning, and the non-objectionable drydowns are great because I can add something else later. The AA's are great for non-fume-friendly environments, too, and then I can pour on something heavy immediately! ;)<br />xoxojensunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041130248100842593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-48945073681124507362011-03-04T00:14:21.019-08:002011-03-04T00:14:21.019-08:00So far I tried two perfumes with distinct fig pres...So far I tried two perfumes with distinct fig presence: Wild Fig & Cassis (Jo Malone) and Philosykos.

Perhaps I need to seek out other figs before I dismiss the note entirely. <br /><br />The Aqua Allegoria scent I love is Tiaré-Mimosa. I fully expected to hate it when I sampled last Summer. It really took me by surprise. <br /><br />Tiaré-Mimosa is such a happy scent! I don't care that it doesn't really smell of Tiare or Mimosa..it just smells really good. (I can imagine the disappointment of someone expecting proper Tiare and Mimosa notes)I'm considering a full bottle purchase!JoanElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356174815156243516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-59260478023455789012011-03-02T22:59:47.533-08:002011-03-02T22:59:47.533-08:00I love them , I had the fig .

There are exceptions: Madarine-Basilic, Lemon Fresca, and my all-time favorite, Pamplelune. You see a theme going here, right? ;)<br /><br />I do love fig. Green fig, ripe fig, figs to smell and figs to eat, fresh and dried - heaven help me, I love them all. I haven't had a chance to try this one, but it definitely goes on the list after your review!<br /><br />Favorite fig of all time: A Midsummer Day's Dream. Philosykos has nothing on that..;)tarleisiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891545310811763453noreply@blogger.com
