    I really love these special editions. If I were rich I’d buy some every year.

      They did very few this year so I wonder if they are not selling as well as they used to. Admittedly $300 is a lot for such a tiny amount of solid perfume.

    This looks like some old-timey hand-me-down from my grandma, or something available in a thrift shop. Probably exactly what they were going for, I hope.
