Savon Oriza Violette Comme Il Faut, Jasmin d’Espagne, Verveine de Venus & Miel d’Angleterre ~ body product reviews
I always seem to order myself “a little something” on Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, My Birthday Eve, the first day it hits 70 degrees in Seattle, on Winter Solstice (I live in the Pacific Northwest…I’m OWED for these dark days!)
