Petiterobe

This month Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire has received a richer floral flanker, La Petite Robe Noire Modèle 2, created by Thierry Wasser under the creative direction of Sylvaine Delacourte. It includes notes of bergamot, lemon, galbanum, iris, orange blossom, marshmallow, white leather and musk. It has launched in Paris already and is going to be available from Bergdorf Goodman this month.

Pretty bottle, probably again wasted on so-so juice...:)

I love these classical Raymond Guerlain bottles, so pretty!
If the new Modele 2 is heavier on iris and orange blossom with a bright galbanum top, as it is described, I probably would like it much better than the first one. That one was too gourmand-sweet for my tastes.

LOL! French marshmallows smell of orange blossom, so we might still have a chance. :))

Don't think this will be inexpensive - isn't it $150 for 50ml? On the other hand, I just tried Idylle EDT, and it's nice for a light floral. Found 100ml for $70.

I am reading the list of notes and craving orange blossom macarons! Laduree makes also absolutely wonderful orange blossom and rose scented marshmallows.

Natasha, me too! The name is just wonderful. I will make a trip to Bergdorf to try it.

Yes, that sounds about right. I keep thinking of it along the lines as others in the main collection, but it is technically a boutique exclusive.
Idylle is well priced, and it is a good quality fragrance.

Rihanna Reb'l Fleur : Perfume Review and More on Celebrity Fragrances, Star rating: 5 stars--outstanding/potential classic, 4 stars--very good, 3 stars--adequate, 2 stars--disappointing, 1 star--poor. I used to be much more philosophical about celebrity fragrances, thinking that while uninteresting, they are no worse than many others. However, as time goes on, I find myself considering celebrity scents as perfumery junk food, which makes young perfume wearers (to whom these scents are marketed) get used to the idea of a fragrance smelling of cotton candy, sugary fruit and cloying caramel. In fact, as I see more jejune, sugary scents being marketed to women in their 30s and up, I know that it is simply an extension of the same trend in other areas of the market. While I will talk of Rihanna here as my most recent unexciting celebrity fragrance example, the same thing can be said about Beyoncé Heat, Katy Perry...

Favorite Fragrances for Winter Activities : 2011 Seasonal List I love how winter forces me to slow down and dream. I love how it transforms the gray city landscape into an etude in white and black. I love its holidays, its scents and its sounds. So, I forgive it the cold that numbs my limbs and makes my nose as red as Rudolph's, the hassle of flights canceled and trains delayed and many other inconveniences. Yet, like all passionate relationships, my love affair with winter has its ups and downs. When the sun is gone for too long and the snow storms alternate with icy rain showers, my affection for winter's caprices is tested. With little to do but embrace the harsh winter we have been having on the East Coast this year, I have turned to my favorite winter activities and my perfumes for solace and comfort. My...
