Both are really nice IMO although Juniper Sling is more of a puff of nothingness than Voyage EDP.<br /><br />My suggestion for a puff of nothingness is Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet.

When I fould out it was time to go, I also found out that Schipol is a fairly big place and I had to test the limits of my modest fitness level to get to my gate - and Junelady (Marie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00427611110325452000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-1194968937310011402010-05-30T21:58:18.792+01:002010-05-30T21:58:18.792+01:00amber j, I know the "panic-buy" experien...amber j, I know the "panic-buy" experience well.

I couldn't find For Her by Narciso Rodriguez and needed something simple and light to wear during my holiday in Uganda.
