Oooh, thanks! I’ll check that one out! I think I’ll also spring for some of that L’Occitane Bergamot Tea, it sounds refreshing.

I want something that tastes like a mojito!

I, too, will pass on these. As gourmands go, they sound lovely, but I just can’t fathom going around smelling like a dessert. I feel the same way about scented candles; just don’t care for the bakery scents, although I admit they smell good. But if I want my house to smell like a sugar cookie, I’ll bake me some!

I don’t know if this will do it for you but my summer ‘tea’ fix is Agraria Bitter Orange, which is so fresh and smells exactly like Constant Comment iced tea. Yum!

The Payards are making my head ache, as I type this. Try as I might I cannot manage the gourmands, though so many of them sound good enough to eat! the one sweet note I like is honey, which brings me to….

…. Serge. Lydia (who used to be at L’Artisan, now closed, and is now at Barneys) talked me into trying Miel de Bois again……and I think I might like it quite a bit.

I’ve tried these and, since I adore pistachios, I had some hope for that one. It’s definitely subtle and certainly not an obnoxious, in your face gourmand, but when I’ve had it on, I find myself unconsciously glancing around to see who else in the room has perfume on – simply doesn’t smell like something which is in sync w/ me. The other two never even made it past the initial sampling.
