Carbone de Balmain (sorry you didn't win the bid)
Thread: Give Me Some Help, Dudes |
I lost in an auction for vintage l'Heure Bleue. I'm mad. I want to buy something around 50 bucks. Thinking Le Temps de Une Fete or Bulgar Black. Recommend me something. I'm going away now. Crying in shame.

Beware of rebound relationships.
I think I'll try my luck on ebay again. There is a ridiculous deal going on--but I won't tell you what that is. Mine!![]()
Vintage Heure bleue and 50 bucks don't really belong in the same sentence, unless we're talking about minis. And Guerlains are notorious for frenzied bids at the last minute. Several times I have been the highest bidder for days, until the price shot up in the last hour (and I never enter a bidding war).
Since two thirds of HB's ingredients are now restricted, there isn't much like it on the market. But Temps d'une fete is excellent, so why not? By the way, the P de Nicolai salesperson in Paris described Sacrebleu as a sort of HB. But no, it's not like that. It's too pink and not gourmand enough. But not bad.
