Santa said he would bring you the biggest bottle of fragrance he could find. What do you tell him you want?

For me? The latest scents that sit well on my skin and that I don't already own are Creed VIW, Cartier's Panthere and SL's Vanilla Champagne. I'd probably pick Creed- it's the most expensive!

I remember when Aimez Moi 1st came out there was a gigantic bottle that use to sit on this platform at Nordstrom. I wanted that bottle sooooo bad. I laughed cause I could imagine trying to get perfume out of that bottle. It was huge.
