No people like perfume people! Who else takes the time to discuss perfume without excessive eye-rolling and muttering obsessive freak under their breath? :d The weekend started out pretty fun until Sunday. That's when the storm hit and it lasted until yesterday, and I HATE RAIN AND WINTER GLOOM! Today's sunshine has repaired my mood. For the weekend however, I drenched myself in vintage Parfum Sacre in EDP. By some miracle, I had scored myself a bottle of EDP and one of Parfum on Friday, and it turned out to be a wonderful, rich, but subdued (contradictory, but it really is both rich and subdued) rose. It was the perfect fix against the rain. Oh, and btw, the parfum cost me $50. How's that for Le Labo prices? ;) March! No people like perfume people!

Bleak and Madame Ennui... if they got hitched, they'd be the Bleak-Ennuis, wouldn't they? Let's try to keep them apart. :x MR.

I wrote a letter, we will see. No big deal, though, in a way this is more interesting. Thanks for offering, though!

The Poivre might have been a little less. With the vagaries of the (very bad) exchange rate, I'm not too surprised at the prices. It's what, about $1.50 per euro right now? And I find the exclusive availability mildly annoying, but not enough to put me off purchasing a scent if I really like it. Where there's a will there's a way, and I like the thrill of the chase. I have ordered the Gaiac and I'm happy to hear I'll be able to get a refill later. I guess I'm not feeling too crabby. :-) I think the prices on the Le Labo city exclusives are about right – I’m sure I paid at least $400 for the Vanille 44 100ml bottle I bought in Paris.
