Plus, if I didn't love it, I knew where I could get rid of it. :-) From the way you were describing it, I just knew I’d love it. Plus, if I didn’t love it, I knew where I could get rid of it. :-)

I think there's too much coconut for me, which, interestingly, is what I love about Straight to Heaven. You are completely right about the materials. I get nothing that smells like "perfume" (i.e. alcohol) from these. They seem pure and elemental, yet complex at the same time. I wish the packaging were a little less baroque, but they are at least attractive. I get a strange shampoo-y quality from Beyond Love.

I'm quite absurdly smitten with Love (that's the meringue one), for a girl who doesn't do gourmands. Pure Oud is killing me (like Tara, still not psyched to drop that much cash on a bottle), but Back to Black definitely has a spot in my collection soon. Overall, I think BKs are winners because of the quality of their materials -- no stinginess there. And I'll be watching much more closely from now on.

When was that, Patty? And, no, I wasn't wrong about B2B, was I? I see a bottle of this in my future, and damn the taxman. Hah! When was that, Patty? And, no, I wasn’t wrong about B2B, was I?
