Many compliments as well, good for me as i was always a bit afraid to wear it because you read so many very harsh comments everywhere... I love upcheering citruses like D&G light blue (YES! no guilty feeling here :-) ), Pamplemousse Rose and Saharienne in summer and winter- in summer they refresh me and in wnter/spring/autumn they make me think of sunny days and energize me. Mandarine Basilic is an especially nice one because the herbal side is not too much (Herba Fresca indeed IS nice as well but can be a bit to serious and dry if you'd like some "juicy" elements with your grasses) So BIG winner, this one. Is it true that it is going to be discontinued soon?Cat Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01949315894316323029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-63316725366971254342012-03-07T02:29:54.669-08:002012-03-07T02:29:54.669-08:00Olenska, me too.

A thorough dousing is definitely cat pee. <br /><br />I like Pacifica's Blood Orange. I have a roller ball of it. It's nice for the top notes, but the drydown does nothing for me. I'll check out L'Occitane the next time I'm by one. Thanks for the tip!<br />xoxojensunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041130248100842593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-85542090395712016832012-03-07T02:28:01.494-08:002012-03-07T02:28:01.494-08:00Krista, thanks for commenting!

I should give it another go. I DO love Pamplemouse Rose, too. Of course, I haven't found an Hermes that doesn't love my skin (my wallet, however, weeps). I have never tried a Creed but love Penhaligon's, so VIW and Extract of Limes go onto my lime to-try list. Thanks for the suggestions!jensunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041130248100842593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-49780600163062050542012-03-06T17:26:10.825-08:002012-03-06T17:26:10.825-08:00Sounds really lively and nice.

I haven't explored a lot of citrus scents, but I did just pick up L'Occitanes LE Verveine Soleil (also sold as Verbena Sun)on sale, and I really like it . Also, Pacifica's Blood Orange is a lively, juicy thing - I've drained my large sample, and want a bottle.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085678129130546156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543727401374792804.post-45480674763509020732012-03-06T14:09:56.776-08:002012-03-06T14:09:56.776-08:00This sounds cheerful!

I'll have to try it. <br /><br />My favourite citrus scents are Frederic Malle Bigarade Concentree and Hermes Pamplemouse Rose. Both are guaranteed to cheer me up. for lime, the Creed cocktail Virgin Island Water makes me smile.
