I love Loretta and can’t wait for its arrival in the UK.
Being a Fracas lover, I’m willing to try Petit Fracas. Perhaps I’ll unleash it on my daughter, who thinks Fracas smells “granny-ish”. Ugh, what does she know?!
I’m willing, but not optimistic. Chocolate! Ok, I do like some chocolate perfumes, but chocolate Fracas!
I know! It might work though. My daughter loves gourmand so she might actually like it.
Loretta is completely fascinating. I am typically unimpressed by (or made nauseated by, to be honest) fruitchoulis like Miss Dior Cherie and her ilk, and Loretta is full of both dark ripe fruit like plums and berries as well as a nicely aged green-herbal patchouli, and it is loud and weird and fascinating, and I’ve found that I crave it from time to time.
Yes, I do. *Me,* who is askeered of big patchouli and doesn’t like loud perfume and doesn’t really DO “dark.” If I had to compare Loretta to another fragrance, it would be something like… “Vintage Dior Poison visits Rappacini’s garden.”
Interesting comparison! Loretta has completed captivated me with her dark, weird vibe.
I love Andy’s scents because they are weird sometimes in a good way and they are always interesting. I don’t love all of them but I can appreciate them.
Lovely review, Mals!
Fracas gets a flanker???! This is heresy! And um – chocolate?!?!? Ew.
Exactly! 🙁
It’s a little hard to take.
