Iris Silver Mist by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal...
Reviewed by rbaker

A nice green top note develops into a good iris scent with a hint o light wood - a bit synthetic but all right. Gone after ninety minutes on my skin. Nice while it lasts and quite unlike others.

Gentlemen Only by Givenchy, 2013

An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.

Yee-ha! As the snowiest capital on the planet (this year) we have something else to look forward to along with the melting of the snow and the many potholes that will soon swallow box loads of Kenneth Cole and Boss, never to be seen again.

Yes, Ottawa is getting a Sephora at the Rideau Centre, April opening from what I hear.

UPDATE: June Grand Opening

Well.. My city isn't exactly getting a Sephora, but yesterday I found a Sephora ad with a phone number. I did not know it existed in Cairo. Today I called and asked how long have they been open here, and she said 3 years

So yes, my city is getting a Sephora too, at least for me.

In our poor far-away Eastern-European capital the rumour says there will also open a Sephora this year. I couldn't believe my eyes

I've heard rumors that we'll be getting one here in Fort Wayne, too (over at Glenbrook Square, the big mall here)... but not until the fall. Oh, and I also heard a rumor that Dillard's will be opening an store in the spot where Marshall Field's was until 2 1/2 years ago (but not until sometime in 2009).

As always, take with a grain of salt.

Well, I hope you get nice Sephoras like the ones in Paris. They're real emporiums of fragrance. Unfortunately, the Sephoras in the US are shrinking their fragrance offerings to the point they are turning into Bath and Body Works shops. I was just in the one in South Beach and the men's side was cut in half since last December - the same for the New York shops. On the bright side, I was able to get the Shiseido cleansing foam that I've been hunting down.
