    Thanks Larimar.
    I had to cut the 4 ties holding the cap to the bottle.
    Then the black wax fell off. It means that it wasn't for decorative reasons. They melt the black wax on the cap, insert the cord into the wax then tie it to the bottle. I wouldn't have imagined Guerlain would (still?) be into handmade things.

    It didn't come off on mine and only after a while on the Sous le Vent stopper, hedonist! How do you like Vega?

    Absolutely love it. I'm still getting to know it but so far it's the perfect balance between florals and aldehydes and what I suspect to be moss lingering in the back.

    Just noticed this thread...thanks for starting, hedonist!

    Bought Le Cherche Midi No 06., which sounds interesting, although it may take a while to arrive here.

    My newest purchase is L'Occitane Eau des Baux! I dropped by L'Occitane today for the first time and was really impressed with their EdTs. Super reasonable prices and great scents.

    Eau des Baux is an amber that reminds me of L'artisan's Tea for Two with the spiciness of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille.

    Hedonist, your photos are always so beautiful! Professional quality yet heartfelt! I'm so feeling your enthusiasm & love for the bottles.

    I've been In a serious back-up-bottle mode lately. (an unfortunate case of IFRA paranoia, I'm afraid.) This weekend I bought Neela Vermeire Trayee (luckyscent) and Amouage Dia (parfum1 with 20% discount. Because fragrancenet was sold out and I got impatient.). Selling misc stuff on eBay to break even. Well, that was the plan...huh.gif sales not quite keeping up with outlay...

     LOL. I am in the same boat too! Good luck with your Ebay sales!

     

    This month is gigantic 5 Oz bottle of Chanel No 5 Eau Premiere from Ebay and Fiore de Capri by Carthusia from Pennylane with 25% discount. I think I am done with September purchases. Honest! ;)

    Wow, I did not know they made the Eau Premiere that big!!  Congrats, and enjoy it.  I have really been wearing this one a lot lately, it is my SOTD today, in fact.  It is a lovely one.

    Thank you, cello! After draining rather juicy decant that was so kindly sent to me by PerfumedLady I knew I had to get the biggest bottle I could. While I love and admire No 5, Eau Premiere is just so much more versatile and easier to wear. If you ever might be interested in getting a bigger bottle, one can be snagged from Ebay for $50-60. You do smell lovely, by the way :).
