It's obviously their calling! Nutmeg, cardamom, cinammon ...they seem to do it all very well!Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-42134573183626630912009-02-03T06:20:00.000-08:002009-02-03T06:20:00.000-08:00Hi Amanda!

Well, I do like a bit of romance in my perfume names I'll admit, but as I said, it is not the be all end all if it isn't quite so lyrical. :) It's the same with bottles, I like them better when they are ornate, special, extravagant, shocking, or whatever...but still I end up buying the ones that are more simple and clean-streamlined just cause the juice inside is more to my taste...Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-42171173392852919322009-02-03T06:18:00.000-08:002009-02-03T06:18:00.000-08:00Hahah Carol, well I do like to see the other pov, ...Hahah Carol, well I do like to see the other pov, you know? :)Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-11024104916553558042009-02-03T06:17:00.000-08:002009-02-03T06:17:00.000-08:00Daily, I got candles and soaps as presents for fri...Daily, I got candles and soaps as presents for friends (and the beautifully presented bath oil collection for a special girlfriend) but haven't tried the candles myself.

(Although sometimes it can be overdone) I didn't find many of the old Diptyques very simple, but I definitely find their new ones very simple and I am very pissed off about all the discontinuations.Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-91654903171914411622009-02-03T05:50:00.001-08:002009-02-03T05:50:00.001-08:00Aw, Simone!

Would love to hear your impressions after you test it. I like the name and the concept behind Nectarine Blossom & Honey as well, but so far I have refrained from trying it on my skin cause it didn't work for me on the blotter. Maybe I will change my mind once I try it on myself. I hope so at least.

Simple is not always bad (I love many Diptyques, simple as they are)...but in this particular case... Love the packaging though.

I have to say I have the same feelings about the white blossoms, they just become to indolic on me. I have a friend who smells divine though in Necterine Blossom & Honey (and I like the name).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095625947716520270noreply@blogger.com
