I don't know if it was reformulated for the 1980's re-release, though. <br /><br />To be quite honest, I really abhor the current Quelques Fleurs--I actually stopped Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918643512872137026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-30793409509712379312009-10-28T20:27:27.849-04:002009-10-28T20:27:27.849-04:00Anna, we are going to have to make you our officia...Anna, we are going to have to make you our official fragrance historian!
