I've been sifting through reviews and seeing what has stood the test of time. Some are surprisingly affordable, others can be sampled for a reasonable price. I've feel like a kid in a candy store -- turned loose with lots of shiny things but with no direction at all! But, if I stick with the older scents, I can rationalize that at least I'm shopping in an _upscale_ candy store, so nothing will be too awful. ;-) Amen to the back catalogue!

There's a constant demand for novelty but rarely for change.

I don't have children, so it wouldn't have crossed my mind. Well, if I did have them, they would've been treated to a bit of mystery! But I have seen little girls, even in church, wearing Britneyesque wear and even singing sexually suggestive songs (they don't know what they're singing - they're just copying the music videos) at a post-service mini-song-and-dance thing. It was creepy. I wonder if our obsession with youth also has something to do it. Don't smell like a grown up because that's OLD! And what is the epithet about perfume we all hate to hear? "Eww, it smells like old lady (or old man)." We should appreciate those who've made it to a certain age and beyond and instead we use them as our negative example. I think you have something there.

True, it's a little rough around the edges, but I still like it. Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla and Chocolate Amber body cremes aren't bad either. I don't have the courage to try the EDT's, however. Yes, Patty, like…(sit down)…Avon’s Extraordinary. True, it’s a little rough around the edges, but I still like it.
