I might sound like a country mouse in this post but I'm too excited to care.
My mother was clearing out the guest room today in preparation for a visit from her brothers; she pulled a rather dusty basket out of a cupboard and I immediately homed in on a perfume sample. To my surprise the lettering on the sample read L'Artisan Parfumeur - Drole de Rose; it's nigh impossible to find niche fragrances here! We drown in an ocean of nice but dull mass market fumes.
I opened the sample and was swept away - it was complex, mysterious, dirty, vibrant and exciting. It conjured up beautiful images, noise, laughter, colour; it was an experience! This little island girl felt like she'd never really known perfume before. The collective voice of Basenotes seemed to whisper "LuckyScent" in my mind so I hopped on over and found out that they're willing to deliver to my wee island. I ordered samples of Dzing!, L'Eau d'Ambre, Fou d'Absinthe and, on a whim, POTL's Luctor et Emergo. I cannot wait!

I'm going to sample this one properly tomorrow as it will be the first day of my week's vacation; good things go together.
