A perfume with notes of vanilla is a safe choice for pretty much anyone on your list. The best-selling scent in Weinberg’s store so far is a Swiss perfume with notes of vanilla, pipe tobacco and patchouli. “It’s delicious,” says Weinberg. “Like something you could mix with bourbon.”

Lovely! I must make a scented pilgrimage to her store! Any of my fellow Virginians interested?
Yes!
Maybe in April? What are your thoughts?
Perfect! You can email me at: harukirumi in the land of yawhoo dought etc.
I’d like to come too if the timing works out! I’m sunmisun in the gmail world!
The shop’s fabulous! I’m local and hardly need an excuse to stop by 🙂
That article describes three scents but doesn’t name them, which is not exactly top-drawer journalism. What’s the name of that Swiss perfume? Readers want to know!
I wondered about that too, but then thought that perhaps it’s to entice the readers of that article to come into the store to find out. I think that the Swiss perfume may be Andy Tauer’s Vanilla Flash.
That was my assumption.
Everyone guessed right- it’s Vanilla Flash! Currently tied neck-and-neck with Noir Exquis as our #1 best-seller.
We are coming to see you in April!
