I don't remember Kathleen Turner being flat, juvenile or unbecoming. <br /><br />Alls I'm sayins is that it's not licorice by way of anise like normal LL, LL au Masculin or the other Midnights in the LL stable.

Which isn't much help, I know, but I can't keep them all straight anymore. Have you noticed how many perfumes there are?
