...I don't think it counts as spring-like, but then the weather isn't either: I'm planning a tuberose binge later in the week.

...Testing TF Champaca Absolute and not wild about it at all, sorry to say. I'll try the Amber Absolute next time.

...Nice here

...Cincy:Looks like this one.http://www.auntjudysattic.com/product_detail_DP_cs40.htmThanks! I'll send that link to the buyer. So maybe it is real, then.

...I bought a 4ml bottle of Fracas on ebay some months ago. I'd been wanting to try this perfume for ages and thought it was glorious. I splashed out on a FB and put the mini on ebay. The buyer wrote to me saying she is sure it is not the real thing. I am mortified, of course, to find myself the unwitting seller of fake perfume. Oh no!Has anyone else come across this bottle? I will try to attach a photo. I have posted the pic on the Fracas page too.

...Earlier we saw and heard the Easter service from King's College- so beautiful in all ways.Now I have some Cretan music on. It's a famous lyra player called Skoulas.

...A Fragrantica friend coaxed me over. It was good to see familiar names and to be welcomed.I particularly like being able to upload my own photographs.

...I do mark your words.That does look a pleasant little patch, though, and probably a good spot to be when it does all fall and crumble.

...I had no idea, Denoula. So sorry it happened...

...Get well soon Denoula.Thanks so much, DD. I am utterly sick of trying to function with one arm in plaster. Not so much longer now...

...Denoula, thanks!!! I happen to like powdery florals, so I'll try that one with great pleasure...

...Florentyna is one I wore with pleasure for years. It's a full-on high-power powdery floral, so if you like that kind of thing, give it a go. Many matching goodies like shower cream, body powder etc.

...well soon Denoula....

...Denoula, that is true, I forgot. I hope that you feel better soon, in your real life and in your virtual life...

...Denoula:Hi everyone! I'm here, although pretty quiet for now. I'm already enjoying this place and will do so more in future I expect. xxWe need you here for...

...Denoula:Hi everyone! I'm here, although pretty quiet for now. Wouldn't say I'm in exile, but I am sulking somewhat. I'm tempted to say something bitchy about...

...Hi everyone! I'm here, although pretty quiet for now. Wouldn't say I'm in exile, but I am sulking somewhat. I'm tempted to say something bitchy about the tone of the neighbourhood at the other place, but lots of lovely folk there too. Anyway, I'm already enjoying this place and will do so more in future I expect. xx

...Smellsogood:I'm rather partial to a Laphroaigh myself.Me too. I just love extreme smoky stuff. The first time I tasted it, I thought 'TCP'.
