Among the Guerlain fragrances, I love Chamade, Jicky, Chant d'Arômes, Vol de Nuit (very old ones these 3), Nahéma and that's all.

I am NOT an oriental gal (so many are overwhelming to my nose), although I will admit to a fascination with it when I was in my 20s.<br /><br />Interesting that Ormonde Jayne calls Ta'if an oriental.

Even the parfum is a bit too vintage for my nose, so I can only do it in the winter. It's a glorious one, though, and so well-loved!

Some people who love rose fragrances adore it, some don't, I can't tell you why...When I wear it, I spray it directly on my skin after my daily body cream (not on my clothes)so that it's not too present but just a touch of rose all day long:-)Clarissenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-29665419825421136112011-07-31T06:12:34.435-04:002011-07-31T06:12:34.435-04:00Not yet, Lovethescents!

I am slowly working my way through them, plus your beautiful samples, those Liz sent, and other new ones from NM.
