I only got a whiff of the new ones, but they might be just the thing as far as real orange go. No marshmallow there. <br /><br />I also liked the way the L'Artisan smelled, but my skin didn't recognize that it's been sprayed with anything.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-40555603609312019002007-01-08T19:28:00.000-05:002007-01-08T19:28:00.000-05:00Again, what a coincidence!

The Elide -- wow! I have a bottle, it's one of those things (mostly lavender on me) that's so strong I could kill the people around me, I have to be very careful when I apply. Skin chemistry is fascinating... trying to get a "real" orange (or a non-soapy orange blossom) is the tricky part, but it doesn't stop me from trying.<br /><br />In general, on me, the orange and OB scents last longer and go less wrong if worn on my hair or clothing rather than my skin.<br /><br />For Gail -- L'Artisan Mandarine Tout Simplement is a great zesty orange with zero lasting power, but might do fine in your hair... have you tried those L'Occitanes? No, seriously. The new one is actually quite nice, and there's another one in their line that's very zesty.marchlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070673036388745001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-15119665211272938752007-01-08T09:25:00.000-05:002007-01-08T09:25:00.000-05:00What a coincidence!

And not "sweet" scents, but zesty citrusy orange. Guess I can cross these three off my list, huh?Gail Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608261305380520337noreply@blogger.com
