Taking the day off…

Guerlain Shalimar Black Mystery

...be back tomorrow.

The eye candy is the new Shalimar Black Mystery from Guerlain. Don't know a darn thing about it except that a) it is limited edition, b) this particular bottle is 30 ml for $350 at Neiman Marcus and c) I want one. And I don't even wear Shalimar.

    for some reason I just thoguht it was regular Shalimar parfum in a LE bottle. Damn cool bottle though. I don't wear it either, but I do have an unreasonable urge to buy it.

    It might well be the regular Shalimar — wasn't kidding when I said I don't know anything about it!

    Thought it might be no more than that! Kind of glad, actually — Shalimar doesn't need any more flankers.
