Thanks for this lovely article, Grant!

I've been interested in her scents since reading Donna's raves of Nuit Noire... I quick-sniffed all three scents on cards in Brussels in February and ordered samples of Carnation and Nuit Noire last week to test them on my skin.

She's beautiful, btw: looks like a star of the silent screen!

I agree Tigs, she is a hot babe, very classy and elegant! I wonder if her fragrances refelct her soft, supple portrait? Maybe you can do a review Tigs. Great write-up Grant, I enjoyed the article!

I hope to get the samples this week so can test them and possibly even scribble a few words about them during the weekend... [smiley=happy.gif]

Thanks for the article! Gives us hope that there are people out there that won't take no for an answer that if you percevere, you get good results.
I also thought she was very attractive! Love her nose, please never ever change it! it might damage your sense of smell! (well not reallybut still!)

Her story is an inspiration to us all. Just goes to show that if you want something and work hard enough you can achieve your goals.

Jeroen - the brand designer is a great guy too - and a big fan of Basenotes!
