I just re-watched Katie's review of Agent Provocateur's L'Agent, and honestly, I can go no further than to say "Apricots and suede. Yep, that's what it smells like. Case closed." <br /><br />After all this time, I'm still hard-pressed to pick out more than twoJennifer Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769363516299757050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-64918751191450206162016-03-02T23:22:22.705+00:002016-03-02T23:22:22.705+00:00Thanks Nora.
