How could such a beautiful box deliver such a vial substance !! At first I thought "let me give it a minute" I almost was liking it then BAM! It hit, the smell of some kind of (for lack of better words)B.O. If ever there was a "scrubber" it was this. Needless to say my 78.00$ bottle of new perfume soon found its way to ebay. I knew a girl who wore this a few years ago and it smelled soooo diffrent on her.

I still love that book and am now scaring my grandkids with it! So do Maira Kalman's books with Max Stravinsky (dreamer/poet/dog). Whenever anyone knows what I'm saying when I say "Sayonara, Mrs Kackleman"...well, it's a little bit of heaven. When I was in my 20s I worked in retail, but in the advertising dept, with about 10 other young women. We would all go down to Cosmetics and drench ourselves in the latest thing - it got so we had to agree what fragrance we ALL would wear that day, sort of like Napoleon's court edict. Just imagine Tresor, AnaisAnais,Chloe,Fracas, liberally applied....all together in an open environment(we called it The Pit)....doesn't bear thinking, does it? Your penance sounds just like that!

Hypnose and Blue Sugar were similar... I think they should be labeled with toxicity warnings. I used to wear Poison, Giorgio Ysatis and Tresor back in my early twenties, but wouldn't touch the stuff now. I shudder to think of the sillage...
