hmmmmmm. just pulled out my Creme Splendide (which i hide from myself). the rose is definitely fresh, like a tea rose. (a real one, blue or purple, covered with morning dew.) i think i detect some green tea as well. and fresh cut grass?  there's a tinge of sweet scent as well, almost like cotton candy while it's being flossed that all but disappears on contact with the skin. ultimately, what you truly get is that fresh tea rose scent, complete with leaves. gawd! i'm putting it away *now* before i either slather myself with it or eat it!!!
Candy -- try to get out to a store and smell it yourself. it is truly divine and a rose scent unto itself. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  |

What's the point of having such a luxury without using it? 
I think I'll repurchase Creme Splendide for its scent and texture alone. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
la vie en rose, do you know how much it retails in the US or in France? And where can I get it?  |

i'm actually at the very bottom of the jar which is why i'm hoarding it for now. i was *way* too liberal when i first got it because i was so in love. no matter, it *never* broke me out and everything breaks me out. however, it never really did a whole lot more than keep my skin surface moisturised so i've been trying out other stuff. still, i do adore it.... and, oh god, that smell!!!
i actually found and fell in love with it in London at Liberty so that's where i got it. bought it immediately. i've not trusted myself to walk into an AG boutique here (paris) because i'm afraid i'd walk out with the whole lot! a quick check found it online in the US at Neiman Marcus for $140. i think i paid about £80 in the UK.
hope that helps!
ooh, p.s. to Candy -- the scent i was describing was from the Creme Splendide Généreuse so it *may* be slightly different. it includes Mimosa tenuiflora, a tree bark, which could explain a delectable part of the scent.... and i just found this from the site about the body oil: 'Rich in cedar oil, Muscat rose oil, argan tree oil and active rose sap' |

So that is more or less the same as what I paid after discount at a local beauty boutique. But I'd love to visit the AG boutique in Paris but where can I get online the information about the location?  |

I searched online and found Needless Markup ummm I mean Neiman Marcus carries it. Luckily I won't have to haul my sorry butt downtown or out to the burbs to smell this as CK has generously offered to send me a sniffing sample, lol.

Thank you! Think that would probably be the 'green' that gets described. Needless to say it will be interesting for me once I pin down the scent to locate some of these items!

From what I can see it's less. 80 (can't find that symbol) is approx 100 usd. |

That's interesting. From what I calculate by the currency converter of Yahoo, 80 pounds=HK$1142 and US$140=HK$1086. Why is it like that??  |

don't worry, CK. Candy mistook pounds for the euro. for everybody's edification:
$ = dollars
€ = euros
£ = pounds
whichever way you look at it, the exchange rate for the dollar sucks!
And, Candy? if you come up with a dead ringer for the scent, word will get out and you will be SWAMPED! |

Hope you get some sleep Candy. You probably will not rest until you figure this out  . Perhaps someone who has this can send you just a small tad so your nose can investigate. I am anxiously waiting to see what you come up with. I will also purchase this scent. |

That's because Candy can barely add dollars let alone other currencies!!
I am giving it the best I have. The jury is still out (TamGirl99) if I nailed the 'spa' scent for her.
I can live with swamped - at this point I'd be happy to jump in a little puddle |

Me sleep? - sleep is for 'girly men' (doin' a poor impersonation of Arnold)
CK has graciously offered to part with a wee bit of the orgasm in a jar (going by the rave descriptions here!) to allow me to scent it & will be having my sister in law helping. She can ID any scent, esp being 6 months pregnant!!
Oh - Winnie - check your other email addy. |

really, truly, way more than a puddle. think of it as a candessent monsoon! check out MUA, most people who smell this swoon.... just think of all the little people who would love to have this, but can't afford it. now they have you! well, almost. i have faith. just take your time and get it right. and if you'd like, i'd be more than happy to send you some of my slightly different barky one. just don't know how long it would take from paris as i live in terror of the postal workers. there's something about 'rapide' that they never quite get.
off to watch the second half of the football match. and then i get to see what part of my anatomy the skeeters have decided on to dine tonight. thank god i'll be in scotland tomorrow -- supposedly they only have midges. what *are* midges by the way? should i be worried? |

sorry to digress, but holy crap i'm doomed!
an article begins:
***********************************************
ANYONE who was spent a sultry evening on the bog or taken a walk along a riverside on a warm sunny night will have suffered the annoying experience of being “eaten alive”.
The culprits are, of course, the tiny insects no more than 2 mm. long, the Culicoides, or the common midge, sometimes referred as midgets, who swarm about when weather is at its best.
Now it is being claimed that the midges are costing the Irish and Scottish tourism industries millions of pounds each year because foreigners stay away because they don’t want to be “eaten alive”.
***********************************************
i'm staying at my BF's parents and their backyard is a field and river and the weather is supposed to be gorgeous too!  if i don't come back, i've probably been midged to death. |

I've been feeling guilty for keeping Candy restless since making the request. GREAT to know there are many others who are interested in the scent too!
Candy, the sample is coming! |

Candy,
My SO and I were laughing hysterically at one of the scents in your bubble bath line.
Our morbid curiosity is dying to know what Monkey Farts bubble bath smells like!!!! We had to check several times to make sure we were reading correctly.

Why yes maam you did! Hmmm, what do monkeys eat? Bananas? Mangos? Pineapples? That's ALOT of fiber! And so you get Monkey Farts!! It's a light tropical scent, bit on the sweet side - HUGE hit with the under 10 and over 30 set (and of course males of all ages )
This was what I was going to post on my site to intro the scent. I laughed my ... off - but probably not the way to sell bubble bath.

Be sure to show this link to hubby - I guarantee he will love it! |
