I am always looking for the perfect replacement for a long-ago fave Flora Danica. Thank goodness for Sephora and their little spritz sample bottles. I love the light florals but not so much the powdery, soapy scents.

I've tried both and the first was all dirty parts. I wish I had kept it, for the novelty alone. I've sampled Victrix and my notes say, "a nice spicy pine, slightly sweet, no staying power." But it was a sample out of one of those tiny vials, from which almost everything has no staying power.

That's why she gets her own orbit. They don't give orbits out to just anyone. What did she recommend to you? Not Thundra I bet.Dan Rollerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951155790045833692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-64852865383678436712009-07-16T19:39:13.780+01:002009-07-16T19:39:13.780+01:00Dan, I really think you took Katie's comment, ...Dan, I really think you took Katie's comment, "might be too butch for you", like a man. Way to go! I do enjoy your conversation with Katie and as a Katie fan from way back, it is always fun to see others being pulled into the Katie orbit. I am enjoying some perfume recommendations she provided and look forward to more of your conversations.Simple Pleasures - Vintage Reimaginedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156858568841511830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-82779847226083539992009-07-12T07:15:10.594+01:002009-07-12T07:15:10.594+01:00A Postscript: The Dark Side of Perfume Pen Pals
A...A Postscript: The Dark Side of Perfume Pen Pals<br /><br />As predicted, Katie's mere mention of a long-ago sampled perfume, in this case Profumum's Thundra, encouraged a compulsion to buy, which was almost immediately followed by a compulsion to sell. The luxury of a full bottle does Thundra no favors.
