When EL decided to trash it because, I suppose, pleasing the loons at IFRA became so so so important to the execs at the revamped company, my friend simply decided never to wear perfume again. She isn't happy about this decision but she's not giving in. I on the other hand, a person who wore Aliage continuously from the day it came out until the day I discovered it had been turned into bug spray confronted (where are my manners?) an executive at the company. She couldn't explain why Aliage is now a travesty of the great perfume it once was. I dream of Aliage at night. Why have they done this? Wherever Mrs Lauder now is I bet she would not approve. And let's not even speak of Chanel 19 or Cristalle. Or Magie Noir. Shame on all those who believe that a sandlewood patchouli blackberry flanker is the same as a perfume. It's true that everybody doing the same perfume over and over in the eighties was a bore. But so is what's happening now, only perfume doesn't smell as good as it did even at the time of the horror or Giorgio. And from a technical point of view, it seems to turn more easily, not last nearly as long and the scent is unevenly emulsified throughout the bottle. It's second rate crap from people who should know better.

I wonder who delivered that boneheaded statement.<br /><br />Gaia, have you heard about the Butter London polish for the upcoming royal baby?? I think it's called Pitter Patter.

As for all those interminable flankers - I was beginning to think you had made some of them up, there were so many and the names are so funny!<br /><br />Kittens .... are you getting kittens? I do hope so. Our boy is at the vet's today, having dental surgery, so I am waiting anxiously to hear the news.<br /><br />Jillie<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
