After reading Sherapop's review of an Anthropologie fragrance, I decided to check out our local store to see what might be available. I went in with the mindset that there would probably not be a lot of fragrances to look at, so I started with my usual clothes shopping therapy. As I switched to fragrances, the salesperson showed me a small display near the front of the store, and then said there was also one in the back, near the dressing rooms. I was headed back that way, anyway (yes, I did find that perfect spring skirt), and found a fairly large display of various fragrances. Among them were all four of the Ineke Floral Curiosities collection! There were only 2 testers out, so I tried Angel's Trumpet and Poet's Jasmine. My personality dictates that when I can't make up my mind, I just buy both. Well, today I deviated and only bought one, Angel's Trumpet.

I do not care for "soapy" perfumes. When I wear them I just dwell on the soap, and can't enjoy the other notes to the fragrance. With AT, I totally agree with Sherapop--this is a soapy floral. But...it is glorious and a pleasure to wear. I think the florals balance the soap so well, and my nose is happy. The longevity is great--I have not reapplied since I bought it this afternoon.

Each of the four fragrances comes in a 15ml bottle, packaged in a little "book". The design is artistic and delicate -very characteristic of Ineke. I love that feeling of stumbling upon something unexpectedly--it was beautiful, and it made my day!

Fortunately, I have to return a top that I bought (as well), so I will just have to pick up the Jasmine, and maybe ask if they can start testers for the other 2 fragrances in the series!
