(Take Burberry Summer for example...) There are still others that capitalize on the name and success of the original while they are completely different scents, bearing no relation to the first one (like Dior's Poison series).

I still wear it, not as often, but it is always such a pleasant surprise how people respond to this scent. It's always "you smell WONDERFUL".. I wish all my scents produced the same reaction :)Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-36912894200012756072008-05-13T10:01:00.000-07:002008-05-13T10:01:00.000-07:00To me, flankers are nothing more than a ploy for t...To me, flankers are nothing more than a ploy for the company to make money, rather than release a decent fragrance. So much product is tossed onto the market, is around for a short period of time, and then disappears. How much of this juice is of any quality? Will they last and become classics? I doubt it, because so little time or thought seem to be devoted to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-42937645492381353312008-05-08T22:56:00.000-07:002008-05-08T22:56:00.000-07:00Just discovered your blog tonight, and love your d...Just discovered your blog tonight, and love your descriptions! Whimsical, yet very apt! (I found the site while looking for reviews of Neil Morris fragrances. Your fairy description of the Violet scent made me want to buy it right away, although I can't seem to find that particular scent online!)<BR/><BR/>This entry caught my eye, because I, too, absolutely adore the original Lolita Lempicka EDP!Morgan P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09781128804162110109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-6863785677897431792008-05-08T06:03:00.000-07:002008-05-08T06:03:00.000-07:00I am with you.

I hate falling in love with a scent and then not being able to find it again. Anyway. I guess if you are really in love with a limited edition you can be wise and stockpile, but... somehow it doesn't feel right.

I think I will always want to have a bottle of it around, so many memories, and well it was one of those things that made high school bearable, because i felt unique and confident when I wore it.
