Cuir Beluga by Guerlain

I very generous blogger who goes by the name of "Ched" (Tangled up in L'Heure Bleue), a gifted writer, traveler, and devoted perfumista, sent me at least an ounce of this gorgeous, hard to get fume from Guerlain. I was completely smitten with its take on a soft, high-end luxury leather. The delightful drydown left me treasuring this ounce of sensually pleasing juice. I was so taken by its softness.

Does anyone know where I can order a LARGE bottle? Oh, please?

Kiehl's Original Musk Oil by Kiehl's

A stunner!

I've had the edt--the 1.7 spray as well as the original Kiehl's ":Love Oil." I have to say that is is, at once, pure animal sex and pure sexy soap. A clean, sexy experience. I have not experienced such a sultry, sexy, CLEAN scent my whole life!

KIEHL'S ROCKS! .

Male/Female alike (we are, you know) try it. You won't regret it! I hope that I will wear this with each passing year.

I am, at 48 years of age, a new grandmother. Let me be, if possible, the BEST smelling gramma there ever was!

JM Jeannemarie : ) Love you my perfumista friends!

Aqua Allegoria Winter Delice by Guerlain

As a Guerlain lover, I was delighted to finally get a bottle of this winter/Christmas fragrance. As I am an incense lover a la Serge Lutens' Ambre Sultan, 10 Corso Como, and Guerlain's Bois d'Armenie, I was happy to add another incense fragrance to my collection. Rather than opening with a blast of pine as some reviewers stated, I got a soft (I mean soft) sweet gingerbread/incense with just a hint of outdoorsiness (more like the smell of a cold winter night--how they captured this, I will always wonder!). The drydown is even better and the scent lasted all day on me. It's a complex little scent, and although I don't like every frag in the Aqua Allegoria line, this is now my most favorite of the line. Lovely on a woman or a man.

Mitsouko by Guerlain

For anyone interested in trying Mitsouko, or sinking serious money into a bottle, I would ONLY recommend buying the edp (parfum so hard to find)! Anyone trying this beautiful poem in a bottle should stay clear away--clear away-- from the edt. You will only get sharp, sour whiffs.. I bought my first bottle of edt 10 years ago and quickly gave it away.

I just bought a large bottle of the edp, and I could swoon over this! This edp bottle is a TREASURE! : )

Passage d'Enfer by L'Artisan Parfumeur

I have been holding out on this one. The intrigue is there for me, no doubt about that. I am a lover of incense fragrances but have only had two in my collection, that of Ambre Sultan (yes, it's incensey as well as amber sexy), and Guerlain's Armenie de Bois (Armenian wood/paper).

If I add one more, just one more, incense fragrance to my group, will it be Messe de Minuet or Passage d'Enfer?

The next poster could possibly sway me!
