    Gotta tell you, R, that AE original is pretty amazing. I can't wait to try this new version.

    Hugs!

    I tried Betsy Johnson's new fragrance yesterday at Macy's. Its smells sweet. Like whoever is wearing this is about to go out and have a lot of fun! That's it, smells like a good time.

    I've also tried SJP's Lovely Satin (sample.). Its too light for my taste. Its seems to disappear on me as soon as I put it on.

    Desparate Housewives' Forbidden Fruit is another sweet fragrance, but very light also. I would probably buy Betsy Johnson over this one.

    R, it is amazing but heavier than I usually like. Tried to smell the tester at L&T this weekend, but the bottle was broken so couldn't!

    We are probably opposites: I liked the SJP better than either of the others. I was very disappointed in the BJ bottle, which looked fun in pictures, but less so in person. DH was much better than I expected though…

    If I had to choose, I would probably buy the original SJP rather than SJP's Lovely satin. I wouldn't buy Betsy Johnson, her fragrance is nice and sweet but it seems like a fragrance that I would get tired of quickly. I may have to smell DH again…

    Sigh… there hasn't been a fragrance yet that I'm dying to covet at the moment… Just shower gels and lotions for the ones I've already have…

    Nothing I'm dying to covet either, for that matter, other than the L'Artisan Dzongkha.
