Wonderful! Can’t believe I didn’t check on Sat. I ordered a couple already (one unsniffed), but have serious doubts about Gerard, sweetheart that he is, including more than one sample, if that. Off to FF!

No way, Patty. I’ve seen the label of Secretions Magnifiques. The only way I’d walk up to a bottle like that would be blind-folded and with a gun to my head. Now, the Songes half-moon bottle, isn’t that a pretty one? And the butterfly on top of Mandragore… Those were the days. (I think I’ll go creak my way to a comfy chair to have a cup of tea.)

Well, now I am part of the experiment-I ordered the sampler set. I think I am not offended because of: 1)the humor involved;and 2) the honesty of presenting perfumes named in at least some cases for the purposes intended. Oops (ducking).

I loved and bought several of them, including J & C and Rien. Putain des Palaces was one of my least favorite ones, too fruity.

I guess I should get cracking on some of those Etat Libre reviews, but want to do an overview first.

Louise, I’m curious as well. I’ve heard a handful of them are really quite good, and several others, while not incredibly wearable, should be sniffed. The jasmin cigarette one and the hotel slut often get mentioned as terrific, and Rien, too, I think.

Now the juice has to live up to the slutty hype, which is a far more difficult task.
