    The Alchemist sounds like the new party fragrance.

    To enhance your magnetic personality and especially that of well-being 4ml is not nearly enough. Here is where 200ml vats would come in handy.

    Smiley offers more quantity like 15 ml perfume extract and 30 – 100 ml for a lighter version..

    M, so agree! L'Artisan needs to make a Chez Moi bead for this 😉

    It does sound destined for Schedule I, does it not?

    Went to BBW at lunch today to look at candles so I went out of my way to give the AG a sniff. The Shania Twain look-alike bottle is perfect for the preteen girls I'll be shopping for at Christmas. The scent is very similar to Philosophy's Falling in Love, with just a hint more vanilla. So: dead sweet – vanilla, cotton candy and white musk. A great scent for my daughters, but not me.

    *ps. I bought *the best* candle today there! I love all things 'tea' and have found my new favorite things in the world. Every one of this line was lovely! So good I even made you a tinyurl to show you! LOL! http://tinyurl.com/39qpus

    Oh, I'll look for the candle, thanks! I had a lovely “Iced Black Tea” candle from Two Leaf & Co but I think they've gone out of business.

    The Alchemist sounds like the Falling in Love vial offered a while back. It was a pheromone “scent” with no detectable odor that came in a little brown vial just like this, except it carried a heftier $60 price tag. Does anyone remember this? Wonder if they've just decided to re-brand?

    Just re-read my comment and was horrified. I did not mean Your as specifically yours, R 🙂 There should have been quotation marks, eek.

    LOL — didn't even notice. If we were talking about me specifically, it would be a hopeless case — they'd have to have dedicated factory 😉
