I want to thank you for blogging about the wonderful things in the world I might never have the joy of seeing myself. Thanks for all the hard work and time you put into this blog. And oh my gosh, Guerlain. My heart can't take it.Prosetryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551612215299132121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-9079674648286676452008-07-11T00:57:00.000-04:002008-07-11T00:57:00.000-04:00Lady Jane- I'm delighted to hear that.

I visited many boutiques and played with lots of perfumes, but Guerlain was probably the best in terms of pure fun.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-37696172591033589982008-07-11T00:55:00.000-04:002008-07-11T00:55:00.000-04:00Lavinia- I had a wonderful time and already regret...Lavinia- I had a wonderful time and already regret the stuff I didn't buy.

It's horribly wrong. I had my share of snootty SA at a couple of NYC boutiques. I'm blaming the 'tude on my somewhat bohemian look (even though I'm always well-dressed, accessorized and in full makeup). I try to remind myself that I'm the one with the credit card and the leisure, but sometimes it's just too insulting. They lose the sale and I buy online, instead.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-12572267164102008422008-07-11T00:45:00.000-04:002008-07-11T00:45:00.000-04:00Helg- Thank you :) And I already miss Paris and ho...Helg- Thank you :) And I already miss Paris and hoping to go back next year.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-53098001504968780832008-07-11T00:44:00.000-04:002008-07-11T00:44:00.000-04:00Tom- Mine as well.

I've always loved the Guerlain boutique : back in April I spent 2 hours there, playing around and sniffing everything they have... The service was kind and excelent (and I ended up with a bottle of Double Vanille and a candle - and lots of lovely samples, very generous). Yes, that place is one of my favouriote playgrounds...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-3478885617196749152008-07-10T09:56:00.000-04:002008-07-10T09:56:00.000-04:00Oh I truly envy you! :-)dinazad, sorry for your ba...Oh I truly envy you! :-)<BR/><BR/>dinazad, sorry for your bad experience. <BR/>laviniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-43561285346279189572008-07-10T07:07:00.000-04:002008-07-10T07:07:00.000-04:00That sounds great.

In my experience at this boutique, they look you up and down in a snotty way when you ask to smell Voilette de Madame and sneer: That's only for collectors. You might want to try something less exclusive. (I was well-dressed, but I'm fatter than my friend, who got excellent service. Apart from that: every customer, no matter how s/he is dressed, deserves good service). The lady I met at Caron's on the other hand, looked like a slutty beautician in a fifth-rate film but was genuinely interested and friendly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-18029639437314430272008-07-09T15:01:00.000-04:002008-07-09T15:01:00.000-04:00Great choice! ;-)And great pics, too.
