My personal tip for such instances is to apply only on the wrists. That keeps my nose from becoming used to the scent I've applied and I keep smelling even the minimum amount applied on the wrists throughout the day :)Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-48346695117894614372008-01-11T04:45:00.000-08:002008-01-11T04:45:00.000-08:00Helg: I don't know... there are people that view t...Helg: I don't know... there are people that view the company/office they work for as a small family of sorts and enjoy spending a lot of time with their colleagues. This leads me to think that different offices harbor different attitudes. Perhaps the smaller the company/office, the better the interpersonal situation?

I really liked Lady Vengeance, which is a rose with a bite. Spicy, dark-ish and wintry was my impression of it. I really liked it, as I said, but I could not shake the feeling that I had "smelled it before", which is to say, it reminded me strongly of something else. Perhaps Aromatics Elixir?

I think all three are exceptional - I wouldn't object to have all three of them. The prices however have so far somehow stopped me from completing the trio, even though I consider it every time I stand before them at a shop.Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-46566226845545095382008-01-08T01:45:00.000-08:002008-01-08T01:45:00.000-08:00It makes coming back very sweet, reading that I've...It makes coming back very sweet, reading that I've been missed!

I never know how something new might develop, so I usually apply it to wrists only. If I really like it, I will wear it a second day and apply a bit more. I think anything can work at the office, just as long as its subtly applied, but if priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252116621503597519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-53499771486926376272008-01-07T11:32:00.000-08:002008-01-07T11:32:00.000-08:00Dear Divina,Marvellous to read a new article, on s...Dear Divina,<BR/>Marvellous to read a new article, on such a good topic!

I also love your fabulousness emphasis! Great choices, Divina. I adore Allure ... from afar. I have some history with it and therefore it prevents me from wearing it too much.
